Thanks priya for this site. reading PS is an experience in itself. One never reads it actually one lives with it. I ve lived with vandiyathevan, poonguzhali, aazhvarkkadiyaan so many times. Loves to read it again and again. recently Kalki had issued at nominal cost. I bought it and will keep them with me forever. An historcal novel told in such a social way is something beyond imagination. Pity that Kamalhassan could not make a movie of it. I wish he does it and v can see the characters in real also. But one thing, Kamal should not take the part of vandhiyatevan, for he has become too old for it.
I was seven or eight years old when i first read ponniyin selvan. u ppl may not beleive i read that book for abt hundreds of time and still i do. I fell in love with all the charectors, each and everyone and this books takes me to a world which belongs only to me ( Hope the same thing happened to every reader). I had a hidding place near my home(a mango tree) where i used to read.
Nanbargale,
Ponniyin selvanai pattri yenaku theriyapatuthungal.
is there a soft copy which i can read?
Dear Friends,
I have read Ponniyin Selvan many times over. I do not know any one who has read it only once. I know of at least two persons to whom Ponniyin Selvan was read aloud (because they could not read Tamil) who later learnt Tamil script so that they could and did read the book and savour it entirely by themselves. It is not uncommon that as one is reading the book, many of the characters appear in one's dreams! Is there an exception ?
Ponniyin Selvan is not a novel. It is an epic!

ah ponniyin selvan! it is like living in the old age. now i am 50 yrs old and i read ponniyin selvan twice. i still remember almost all the characters. the brave vandhiyathevan, the handsome arulmozhi, fragile vaanathi, brave old periya pazhuvettaraiyar, his brother chinna pazhuvettaraiyar @ kaalaanthaga kandar, the royal mother chembian maadevi, the unpredictable aditya karikalan, mysterious nandhini, soft but strong kundavai nachiar, poonguzhali, her father thyaga vidangakkaraiyar, the warrior vaishnavite azhvaarkadiyan nambi, senthan amudhan, kanda maaran.., oh it is a long list. even places like kodikkarai and kuzhagar koil, uraiyur are immemorable. i just love ponniyin selvan and am a fan of kalki. i am happy that there are friends with whom i can share my feelings about the great epic.
Dear Friends,
Now I am reading the Third volume of Ponniyin Selvan. I really enjoyed particularly portion, Vandiya Thevan, Thevaraalan & Manthiravathi travelling from Ceylon to Kodiakarai.
Ponniyin Selvan, is a asset for Tamil. And there needs to be soem activity to spread this book and story.
This is make Tamils to understand and appreciate our history.

Hi!! Iv got to read only the english version and its simply amazin. The suspense seriously killed me. Its must better than any english book Iv read.
Hai All i have Completed 4 vols of Ponniyin Selven. I had Enjoyed a lot. Moreover i start Reading novels for the first time starting from this Ponniyin Selvan.
It is a masterpiece in Tamil Literature and a handbook for historians. I strongly believe that every individual who can read Tamil should have read this book. Are there any e-version of the book available?!!!
Hi Guys and Gals
I too had red that everlasting
fantastic, suspense novel
I bet there will be no stories
superior or equal to PS in future / Presence
It is very difficult for me to come back to real
life after reading that novel..
Ok guys did any of u know the website which
has Sandilyan's Kadal Pura in PDF Format
Plz let me know
finally i found some people who love Ponniyin selvan as much as i do.i cannot tell u how crazy i am about this story.Every charecter is evergreen especially the incredibly swash buckling vandhiyathevan and the cool and clever aazhvaarkadiyan nambi.the best thing about kalki is the lovely sense of humour in the entire book,something u normally dont expect from historicals.A must read for all Tamils and everyone else too.Ponniyin selven ROCKS!!!!
Is there any site where I can read this online????

Ponniyin Selvan was one of the best books I have ever read. Ususally I dont read historic novels.. That too a book with 5 parts talking about cholas etc,, I cud never think of me being interested in Ponniyin Selvan
But that was till Jan 2006
I accidentally got my hands on the "Ponniyin Selvan" Part 1... and lo..
I cud not put that book down till i finished all 5 parts... I got dreams of Vanthiyathevan, Arul mozhi varman, Athitha Karikalan, Kundavai, Nandini........
I finished all the books before Jan 20.. It has a good mixture of all essential elements of a good book.... If u r missing Ponniyin Selvan u r missing something in my life..
Good to hear that Rami !
Can u tell me more about that book ??? Guess that was written by Kalki !
Hi RAMI,
I also got a chance to read PONNIYIN SELVAN in KALKI weekly.After reading KALKI's writings, I got interested in historical novels
His writings was simply superb.I liked VANDHIYA THEVAN Character, obviously KUNDHAVAI(What a intelligent women she was !!!), PONNI, Padagotti, VANI.After reading this novel, Whenever I crossed Tanjore BIG TEMPLE,I used to recollect PONNIYIN SELVAN
It is a great novel indeed
Arthi as u said.. I had little interst in history, but after reading the novel, I could remind myself various lessons of history studied long before... Also when I went to Kumbakonam recently .. I tried a lot to visit Thanjavur also. But alas no time.. I am really waiting for a chance to visit Thanjavur and view the architecture there///
Hi RAMI
During that time I was studying in Tanjore .We used to buy KALKI Magazine, Tthis Novel was publishing weekly.
At that time I used to go to school via Tanjore Palace, sarawathy mahal ... I used to compare KALKI's writings then & there...
Really a great work
Have u read anyother KALKI's writings
Dear All...
Ponniyin selvan was written by Kalki Krishnamurthy
His first historical novel was Sivakamiyin sabadham ...its about Pallavas and Chalukyas
Indeed a splendid write up about the 5th century
This was followed by Paarthiban kanavu...and this talks about the interim cholas after Karikalan and before Vijayalaya cholan
its about a small king Parthiban whose capital was Uraiyur ( close to Thanjavur and the name is still intact ) he was a contemprory of Mahendra Pallava and Narasimha pallava
The third is Ponniyin selvan
The story relates to the period when Raja raja chola was young and the main theme is about the supreme sacrifice that he makes by offering the throne to his uncle Madhurandhagan despite huge public support for him (ofcourse later he became the king after Madhurandhagan died )
One can write a big essay about Ponniyin selvan as its one of the best stories we have come across in tamil and this covers the 9th and 10th century period
Infact Kamal had plans to make a movie on Ponniyin selvan but could not make it...It remains one of his dreams
His otherwork includes AMARADHARA, and 1 more social novel I forgot the name
Aarthi
Are you referring to Alai Osai ??
Yes its also from Kalki only
No, I Am referring to some other novel.
am not getting the name, will recollect & tell
I have read
Sivagami sabatham
parthiban kanavu
ponniyin selvan
alai osai
can anyone tell me other interesting kalki novels
The best part of ponniyan selvan is the beautiful but dangerous nandhini!
Nobody understood her, like whom she really loved in her heart. Or everything is just business for her?! :roll:
kalki beuatifully used that character to show how weak the men really are! :cool:
I remember a particular situation in the novel, where this aspect is beautifully described. Nandhini, carried in a palanquin arrives at the scene of verbal spat between Vandhiyadevan and some guards. As she moves the screens of the palanquin aside Vandhiyadevan gets a glimpse of her for the first time. Her beauty brings back an incident from his childhood: he would be walking in the woods when he comes across a cobra with it's hood up. Even as he realises that the cobra is extremely poisonous and dangerous, he is mesmerised by its beauty. Now, on seeing Nandhini he gets the same feeling: beautiful, yet dangerous.Quote:

At the end it was poetic justice rendered by Kalki as through the voice of Kunthavai ( considered to be the arch rival ) admiring the qualities of Nandini ....
she will say that Nandini after all comes from veera Pandiyar kulam and she proved her royal blood by seeking revenge over Aditya karikalan
IMO, the most pitiable character was Manimekalai ...absolutely innocent ...... had true love over Vandhiadevan .....
the final pages will be tearful.... as Kalki shows Vandhiyadevan in tears when he holds the dead body of Manimekalai...
Indeed a great novel...
