Hello, Friend - Fine to see ur mail the very next day. Oh! What a great reply, just a week has passed by and your response was extremely good and too on the hourly basis. You surpassed my expectations. Today
there only very few persons who belong to their respective subjects reply genuinely and positively depending upon the case due to which they become celebrated in the due course and stand out of others. Similar quality of your's shows the quality of your's and also put you on par with such celebrated persons. Very many thanks for provding a link to my site from your site upon my request. I thought of replying to you after changing the way my site looks so that others don't strain to look, only after many persons advised me to do besides your request. Now I have  modified my site slightly and then thought of sending a reply to you. My wishes to your family and parents. Once again Thank You, Thank You,  Thank You, Thank You, Thank You,..........,

feedback: I am a Christian. My grand mother told me that I am a nangilnadu pillai. My family became Christian in a quarrel between ourselves while pulling to festival car in a village near Suchindram
in K.K District. My family became christian after the death of Vethanayagam Pillai. Eventhouth I am christian I am interested in knowing the past. About 50 to 60 families became christian after the quarrel.

This site gave me a clear idea where my root is from. I have lost my root but I am happy to know that who we are.

Sir, I belong to Tirunelveli saiva pillai, son of retired tahsildar subramanian (Tuticorin). I need this Web-material, but I have only the debit card and not the credit card, I wish to pay directly and collect the material. The web site needs lot of improvement and user friendliness. I have a dream  project but unable to implement. (Tried, but failed). If possible, prepare pakka chart and a corporation. by raising this in Vellalar meeting, could achieve it. it is as follows.

Formation of VOC City: (Tried, but failed)

1. City with only Pillai groups.
2. If 500 Peoples joins together, can achieve this.
3. I got a info that 1 acres for 50,000. (Total 10,000 acres)
4. 50 acres should be common for the city.
5. In which the following needs to be built
a. Theatre like mayajal in chennai
b. Snow world like in abirami in chennai
c. Restaurant
d. Children's park (Video games, computer center, swimming pool, skating
ground, other playing materials
e. Kids zone
6. Temple
7. Gymnasium
8. Petrol Bunk
9. Garden like brindavan
10. Colonies
a) with Bio gas - electricity, gas
b) Solar street Lamp
c) Play ground and so many

And lot more... By doing this, the ground value will go up and a city for pillai will be formed. ( 1000 acres will be considered as a village, which will decide a MLA )

I can see lot of guys interested in developing our community. can use them and lift them up. I am trying to form a group where I got around 20 peoples said ok to buy 100 acres together. but I need more people. Pls
communicate in further towards it. we have many rich/interested people in our community. need a head and proper leadership. will proceed in further  on seeing ur reply. Rgds / Kailash

feedback: I hail from Coimbatore dist.We are known as Seer Karuneegar,a sect of Saivapillai.We have poonool and Gothram.Our marriage and other customs are like how Brahmins due Janavasam, Pancha kacham, madisar, sapthapathi etc.Now due to non-availability of suitable match we have spread our wings to Tiruchi, Pudukkottai, Thanjavur, Tirunelveli and Thondai mandalam It is my earnest wish that all sects of Pillaimars, weather they are veg or nonveg, after all it is a habit which can be changed, should be brought under one roof If that happens, then we will be the majority community.In this direction, if any site is initiated I am prepared to offer my help and assistance.

feedback: Hi All,
First this is great website for Saiva Pillais. I'm hyrib by caste, Saiva Pillai (maternal) and Kshathiryar (paternal) well my surname is match by numerology. Anyway, there are a lot comments about Pillai's here wearing poonul and not the warrior caste. Well let me get the say of Tamil; Kalaan, Marayen, Aagamudiyar, slowly Vellavar come. Meaning is simple, when warrior clans, king urbanization took place, they made Kalaan /marayen (thief and smuggler)to be meaningful trader (Aagamudiyar) than slow groom them into vellavar, very fine eusthic people good in agriculture and domestic trade counsel. Late the Pillai was divide into Saiva Pillai like Appar and Chola Pillai, king's advisor. The Saiva Pillais are regarded to be much devote to Saiva God and held as high as the aryan brahim and wear poonul. Pillai contribution was great like Chimbaram Pillai and etc. The Saiva Pillai have been given great respect and responsible in naturing the Tamil culture.

hi!  neat website! good going!  i am researching my family's ancestry.

i have been talking to my parents, and also checking out the various websites.

we are vellala karkarthar saiva pillais.

mummy is from coimbatore and vriddhachalam, and papa is from thanjavur, originally.

what i came across has kinda confused me.

my parents say we are non-brahmins, coming below the brahmins, and above all other castes. another website says we are similar to brahmins, except for the temple puja duties. so, are we brahmins or what?

another friend of mine is from tirunelveli. he too is a pillai. he says he had the thread ceremony. now, no one in my family has had a thread ceremony to the best of my knowledge. why is this difference?

papa says his paternal great grandfather (his father's mother's father) was a chief minister in the court of king chola, and he remembers seeing long swords which were family heirlooms until a few years ago. now we have no clue where they are.

these are the nuggets i have so far.

i am looking for someone who can fill in these gaps. and clarify these doubts.

i live in new mumbai, by the way. and work as a clinical psychologist. papa is an electronics engineer, now teaching in engineering college here, post his voluntary retirement. he is also the treasurer of the IETE (institution of electronics and telecommunication engineers).

awaiting your reply at the earliest.

warm regards,

Hema. New Mumbai.

Our Answer to this Girls Email:

Hello Madam, Nice to meet you on web.
 
It is true that we are below Brahmins in the Aryan Varna System.
 
But it is also true that Odhuvars, Kurukkalaiyas and Desikars are also part of our Saiva Pillai community.
These Othuvars and Gurukkal wear Poonul.
 
Also some other OBC castes of tamilnadu wear Poonul like the Asari
So Poonul wearing is a kind of acceptance of 2 life theory.
 
"Parppan" this word came from "Parppu" - the chicken.
The chicken has 2 births. One is as a Egg and another is as hatching of egg to become a Hen/Cock.
 
So, we the age old Dravidians, living in the Indus Valley to the Gangetic Plains accepted the Aryans and started living with them.
But they wanted to maintain their cultural identity as much as other castes do.
 
In India, castes are nothing but an extension of old clan kingdoms.
Still now in North you see the Yadavas are ruling.
 
Those days the Krishna Yadava
Now the Mulayam Singh and Lalloo.
 
So the clan mentality and affiliation to clan - caste things are still a part of indian mentality.
 
Coming back to our matter, It is not important whether we are ABOVE or BELOW the Brahmins.
It is whether we do our duty properly or excel in them.
 
So, Caste is just a reference. Just a remnant of the past.
 
We dont have Gothrams also. Like the Brahmins do. Karkathars also have Gothram.
 
It is very clear from ancient times that the Saiva Pillais are not a Warrior Clan
 
Even though some Chola Kings are from Pillai community, even though the Kerala Vellalas are mostly chieftains.
 
Even though Marudha Nayakam [Pillai] - the film Kamal liked to take - was a rebel chieftain
 
So there are so many Kings from Pillai caste that doesnt make our total caste as a Warrior caste - the Kshatriyas.
 
We are by work, became a Vaishya varna.
 
By doing the Clerk Duty - the Kanakku Pillais, the Jameendhars, the Vellalas - Farmers - the tillers
 
So our caste men used to sport POT BELLIES from time immemorial - indicating the sedentary life style.
 
We are a kind of White Collar People - Managers. Not workers, not quiet artisans.
 
We are thinkers, decision makers, rebels.
