The website is very good. It looks better then the badaga.org. Keep up the good work. It doesn’t look like one man effort. Hats off to all the person who worked towards this site.

JP adds : Bala, yoy say that ‘it does not look like one man effort. I take it as a compliment. Better still, why don’t you join me, we will make it a ‘two men’ effort ?

Hi, Its is very interesting to see our culture and traditional things over the web, many news of our fore fathers and interesting photos of traditional photo, village, people it woo oh, it is very extreme My great wishes for the person who created worked for this website, i live in abroad but after many months i got an opportunity from your website to hear some good songs, i was hearing these songs from my office i remembered all our festivals i just blinked my tears from my eyes
!!!!!!

A small request can you add some more songs and if you can add some videos of some festivals of some villages so that the badugas who live abroad can enjoy the festivals through your website,

Best regards to you and for your web, be cool

It is really nice that this website is becoming a good platform to discuss issues related to our community. It is also keeping us updated on whose who among badagas & the new achievers.

JP adds : mlle_sumathi, thank you very much. You have been one of the great inspirations for this website. The books on Badaga you have sent me, have helped a great deal.

I have not had time to go through the full complement of your calendar preparation. However, I wish to point out that the correct name for ‘Goodalu’ is ‘Koodalu’. Whether ‘Koodalu’ itself should have a retroflexed ‘d’ or not is a matter of speculation. And of course, the calendar requires a more careful computation taking into view, when exactly is the beginning of a Badaga month. It is certainly not the 10th of a Gregorian month. Badaga month is basically lunar and hence cannot be superimposed on the present calendars which we know of. Best wishes.

JP adds: Thank you Rev.Mulley. I have been using ‘KOODALU’ more than ‘GOODALU’ in my latest reference to Badaga Calendars. Please see the Jan 2009 Calendar post /page http://badaga-calendar.blogspot.com. As far as the exact date of commencement of Badaga Calendar [year starting on the 10th of Jan], it was based on the imput in the magazine ‘Nakku Betta’ many years ago [see my posts]. The date of Hethay Habba is fixed based on the lunar calculations but unfortunately, the many elder Badagas including persons from Baraganni and Pedduva could not give me an accurate and exact method of calculations. Basically, the idea of my page /posts on Badaga Calendar is to make it known that there are twelve Badaga months and their names. I am aware that Rev.Mulley is one of the ‘informed elders’ of the community and can offer a lot in educating us. I will be grateful for his guidance and more information on this score..
