I have written hundreds of posts on the Google group Bharatiya Vidvat Parishad over the last few years. Of late, many are requesting for information / clarification in private. The knowledge in these discussions would be disseminated here.
A word about the title of the blog. Recently, I had discussed one particular sloka (16.8) from Bhagavadgita and ended up writing a commentary on it. This commentary was named Koradeeyam following the age-old tradition of naming a commentary after its author. In effect, most of the posts would be of a similar nature, and hence the name.
