Dear members of the bakthi-list:
Before I post my querries, let me take this opportunity to wish you and
your family the very best during the year.
You may recall that back in January/February 1997, I had posted a querry
to this list requesting for the meaning of the word "Candadai" (its my
family name). A friend of mine sent me a set of profound and interesting
questions about the "Candadai" traditions/origin and lineage. I most
certainly am the least conpetent to answer these questions, and so I turn
to you, learned menbers, for answers. I have appended my friends' querries
below. Thanks, in advance for taking the time to respond.
