Svetambara வள்ளுவம்

I was in a great foolishness. I realised this foolishness few days back only. Often we hear religious debate but it is not clear in which religion this Thiruvalluvar born out of. There is no evidence of his birthplace or period. But we can understand from reading for thriukural that thiruvalluvar knows about anthanaar, king and vellalar. So we can say he/she was a person who didn't live in stone age but somewhere after Mankind came out woods(aaranyam). 

When someone wants to understand history in India they were given with ithihasas like Ramanyana and Mahabharatham. Once you read these two texts you will be filled with thoughts and notion of well constructed Vedic religion. Often institutions in world will make you slaves of this Vedic religion. We know in Rig Veda there are no Siva or Murugan or Vinayaka. All we know is there were 33devas and Cows and horse were sacrificed in yagas. During this period there were no Trinity in religious belief. Vedas weren't aware of temples because yagas can be moved wherever the people move. So it is clear that Vedas are alien to our ancestors and they were following a religion from which Murugan, Sivan, Vinayaka and Lakshmi were belong to. When we try to identify who are these people, our mind which is cooked with ithihasas will not answer this question. But in modern times proofs like graffiti and artifacts can add more ingredients to our debate. When we rule out Vedic thoughts and travel with history then we will land in land of Sangam era where people lived without awareness about Vedas and Devas. But we had Gnanis in community. What were the guidance for these Gnanis and what were the doctorines of these Gnanis. This will take us to Samanargals. Yes, these Gnanis of Sangam era are from Samanargals. How Samana thoughts have cooked the minds of Ancient people of Sangam era. 

Silapathikaram - சமணம் - ilangovadigal

Manimegalai - புத்தர்கள் - சீதலைச் சாத்தனார்

சீவகசிந்தாமணி - சமணம் - திருதக்கதேவர்

வளையாபதி - சமணம் - unknown

குண்டலகேசி - புத்தர்கள் - நாதகுத்தனர்

These are ஐம்பெரும் காப்பியங்கள் of ancient Tamil community. When these texts were contributed by different religious background we should understand the religious acceptance of ancient Tamils.

Samanar have the credit of writing the first grammar texts in Tamil. They also pioneered the compilation of 'nigandugal' or Thesaurus in Tamil and composed the early epics. Indra Kaleeyam, Yaaparungalam, Neminatham and Nannool are some of the famous grammar texts written by the Samanargal. There is a belief that Tholkappiam is a Samanar text. Divakara Nikandu and Pingala Nikandu are 2 popular Thesaurus compiled by Samanargal. Among 5 minor epics Soolamani, Neelakesi and Yasodara Kaviyam were composed by the Samanargal. 4 of the பதினெண கீழ்க்கணக்கு நூல்கள் are attributed to the Samanargal. Madurai Kanchi which is one of the Pathu Paatu anthology speaks of a temple dedicated to Samanar god Aruhar in Madurai. Pattina palai which is also one of the Pathu Paatu anthology mentions the presence of a samanar monestry in Kaveripoompattinam. Scholars asserts that Nikandanar one of the Sangam poet was a Samanar. Another poet of the Sangam period called Ulochanaar is also said to be Samanar.

When the ancient Tamil community has these many Samanargal then Thiruvalluvar or the Tamil work must be of Samanargal. We don't know whether he is a Digambara or Svetambara. Whoever he may be now he is a Svetambara வள்ளுவம் because he wore a white cloth.

Parsel tongue

Today we will discuss about origin of Languages. We believe that universe is formed by BigBang and evolution of man kind. Then man kind should have evolved from Animal kingdom. Read my previous post if you want to train your mind in this theory. I came across a theory which traces the hierarchy of humans by genetical study and conclude the origin point as adam's point. Based on this theory the Madurai Kamarajar University has found the first Indians. This will be very interesting to rewrite the history and unlearn the existing history. When you think after reading this adam's point theory. Then the first question comes to mind is what language those humans would have spoke? Whether to accept that human originated from adam's point only? Why can't be other origins too? Another famous origin theory says river beds are the origin of civilization. But we should carefully understand that from adam's point to origin of civilization there is span of time. Historians say the span of time(transition period) would be 10,000s of years. But we can say that language was not part of their lifes during this time because these period are highly insecure period. They had fought many wars with animals and between them to reach a civilize point. For our convenient, we can jump to a timeline where they have started civilization on river beds and they have reached different rivers from multiple adam's point which is mostly near to the river. During transition period there were no technology, no boat, no vehicle, no education and they have not reached the iron age but they would had some stone weapons for defense. These were the early humankind without caste, culture, music and politics. These are the period of inventions. Currently we are discovering which is already invented. Since they are from different adam's point these groups of people wouldn't know each other. If they have met each other how would they have spoken to each other? This is real mystery. But the need and wants of people were very very less. They didn't want to fight with each other rather know each other. Initial contact of people would have been to know each other and acceptance and love would have predominant between them. So language wouldn't be a barrier for love. They would have shared their lanugages too. So initial man had a mother tongue and only after a migration there is a need to learn another language. Before that there was no need to learn even any language because mother tongue is not a language but the native way of communication. So before taking you to next thought process I want to pray to Goddess of Knowledge to bless me with courage. And pray to these river Goddess to flow into the minds of reader (Sindu, Saraswati, Ganga, Godhavari, Narmadha, Kaveri, Pahruli). Why did I pray to these river goddess? Because I am not living in adam's point today. I could source to anyone of these river mothers. Currently my genes would have all of these mother's source. But if we see which would be predominant then I will believe Kaveri or Pahruli but I might be wrong. Today we are speaking different languages, majority of Dravidian language shares same roots. And other language roots to Sanskrit. My yoga guru have acknowledged that in all the Indian languages Tamil is less influenced by Sanskrit.

The oldest stone scripture of Sanskrit in India dates to 1600BCE. Before that people had communicated to each other, respected each other and married between clans. There were no need for any foreign languages to communicate between clans. River Saraswati stopped flowing. Those people were in hunger and poverty. They tried to find a river to migrate. This is famously called as migration of Aryans. They migrated to east and west. That's is why Sanskrit is called as Indo-European language. People were poor and suffered with no food. Neighboring civilization give them shelter and food. Since these people had no land in neighboring civilization they were given place to live. This period is called as Rigveda period. These people had their own practices of offering yagnas to Indra and other devas. You need to understand there are no temples built. But the Dravidian people had Stone worship (Nadukal valipaadu) that's why you would see mentioning of animal sacrifices in Rig veda and not in other vedas. People who opposed yagnas are called as Asuras(not their people or not devas). During this period, Buddha raised and pulled people to his path and asked no to follow these yagnas. During Rig veda period there were no puranas. Puranas are written after the rig veda period. Early man had worship god in different ways. Check out my all the posts what are the different siddhanthams. The Aryans need to learn other languages because they have to live in foreign land. The Saraswati river people migrated into the Indus and Ganges more than the current Dravidian land. Since they were poor and aliens with their practices they had to learn and adapt to the foreign land customs. This land had faced all kinds of slave-ism. Man to man battles loser will be killed or become slaves. Language to Language battles to find who is better when one wins other become slaves. Yes there were language battles had happened. Tamil people were asked by Sanskrit scholars to burn their documents and leave them in river on auspicious day so that they get credit in next birth. Whatever the Thanjavur university maintains as ancient text of Tamil are the one escaped from fire. Tamil vedams and Many have burned in the language battle.

Now it is called as mother of other languages. Science proves with adam's point approach that cuneiform were the birth of languages and Egyptians disappeared with cuneiform that is not considered as language. But the pyramids can't be built today with Sanskrit or Chinese or Japanese. The technological advancement doesn't require any particular language rather a strong belief and communication between people. Language is only a medium to learn the science. You are trying to discover which is already invented and already present in universe. I pray to all these mother goddess to bless eternal to others because one is in a hunger to swallow others.

Sailing with Dravida Krishna

Today we are going to discuss about how this historical events are rewritten as mythology. The famous belief of Indian history starts from Indus valley civilization. But I am against it. I believe Sangam age existed and it can be older than what we think as history of India. So let me try to pull some point which I have come across reading these days. Sanskrit texts says Manu a Dravidian saved the humanity. And it says there were previous Manus before him. So this gets us into mythology than historical events, because we haven't found any archeological evidence of the Cities mentioned by Sangam texts. But I have few different perspective. When Manu brought his citizens from South he should be geographically different skin because people in Tropical would have different skin and people from Equator region would have different skin tone. When mythological Krishna is depicted as dark skin person then this historical events can be linked to say that Krishna is a Dravidian that's why tropical region people have seen him having different skin tone and mentioned him. The story of Mahabharatam has many events that will fail the test of science. And it was written very very later than the historical event. Because when the under water city of Dwaraka was found near Gujarat many people started believing that Mahabharatam was true historical events and it dates 9500yrs old. So we will also believe Mahabharatam is historical event. But since it was written much later than it happen we can relate to the neighbouring civilization and understand few things. If the dates are pushed to 9500yrs back then we could see Memphis existed during that period. Egypt was at their peak of civilization. And their scripts are in the form of symbols. So if we start believing Historical Krishna then what about the people and kingdom near to him? that makes they were also existed historically and their scripts would have been like symbols(may or may not). But we find the original Mahabharatam written in Sanskrit first which is readable in current day too. This makes us understand that Mahabharatam would have happened during a time when the clans was using symbols still to communicate. 

If you want to relate Mahabharatam as historical then you should link Gauravas as Kuravar and Pandavas as Pandiyar. Only when you take this prespective you can continue travel historical else you will remind in mythology. Yes this is a battle between Kuravar clans and Pandiyar clans in Dravida nadu. We should understand few realities then we can understand my point of view. Sanskirt scholars had practise of writting the historical events as mythology. To merge with the existing world they always change the names to existing world and merge with mythology. That's how the historical names gets into different form. All tamil names will get changed to mythological names. If you look at Mahabharatam as historical events then 2 references can be related and understood.

1. Thuthuveni, Newspaper rock utah.

When we see this rock painting and their culture and names you can relate them to Tamil and see a connection. But if you see from a mythological lens you will miss many. These clans call themselves as Hopi and their gods name is Kachana. We know the story of gopis and krishna. If Krishna is historical and they lived in a time where symbols were used to communicate then you can connect to Hopi clan where gopis as Hopi and Krishna as kanchana. And this is found in current central America and well protected. You can think why and how people would have traveled that long. is it possible? I will highlight a prespective that can create a belief in you to believe there is a possibility to reach there. So remember Krishna was a Dravida and he advocated not to offer prayers to Indra he had his own commanments which was little different to what was practised at his time.

2. Sembavalam, Heo Hwang Ok - Korean.

This is an event mentioned in Korean history that their king married a princess who came from India. They mention that she came from Ayuth Kingdom via sea. So when people were able to travel to Korean peninsula then they had enough technology to travel to any part of the world. Since this is very old people at that time whoever come from different land they consider them as god and worship them. Koreans of Kim clan consider her as God. I have shown many reference about the similarities between Tamil and Korean language. Since she was a queen she would have obviously influence over the clan than a normal person. Thats why you could see many word and meaning are similar between these languages.

When we can take history to back in 9500yrs old period. This geography and Kingdoms had different boundries and different languages. When you find the Dwaraka near Gujarat then you should understand that these dravida people were spreaded from Indus to equator region. There are mentioning of Kapatapuram in Ramayana where second Tamil sangam happened. And true historians read and locate the ancient lanka near Kapatapuram and not the current Srilanka(this is a mythology) There were period in history where River Thamaraprani flowed inside Srilanka there were no sea in between them. Lanka is just a measurement to locate the place in ancient times. Since this mythology was written in Sanskrit first it was related to their world names. Ancient India was very different than what we think. With Tamil we can travel back to historical period in ancient India but with Sankrit we can construct the mythology. So when you want to take a step to connect to ancient India then we need to read and learn about Tamil history.

Local Legends

We know this land history is a myth and fails the scientific test. We know the early man was wanderers they were navigating from one place to another. We know from cheras history Romans stayed near ports of Muzuris. They had temple of Apollo in South India for their people. Wherever one clan migrate they take their culture and history with them. During early periods of ancient kingdom mostly the society was pularistic. We have records of Pallava Kings accepted Buddhism, we have records of Chera Kings who followed Jainism. But we know the first Tamil Sangam was lead by Siva, Muruga and Agathiyar. When trade flourished migration of people was normal than usual. We could see this migration has taken to next level in this current age and United States and other developed countries are facing lot of challenges to safe gaurd their Indigenous rights. Lot of states in India too raise slogans for reservation for their Indigenous people. 

So let's see how these Tamil Kings handled this Indigenous rights. When there was an era of Jainism and Buddhism in Dravida Nadu before 300BCE, the pluralistic society of Dravida people had challenges to defend their identity. Saivism rose from its pit fall. Most of the Kingdom accepted Saivism and Vaisnavism. That's why these two religion still stands as two pillars of the Hindu society. All the legends of the clans were accepted and carved as puranas of their respective religion. Example Alwars and Naayanmars. All clan had their Legends in 63 Naayanmars. That's why you might see the legends of Indus valley people were mentioned in Periyapuranam. Tamil Kings revolutionized the religion and their identity. Tamil Kings merged their religion which Vedic groups and puranas were shared with them. That's how Sanskrit came into Dravida Nadu. Since the merger was started by Tamil Kings you will see lot of Saiva&Vainava temples more in Tamil Nadu than North India. Since trade flourished and Tamil Kings were rich they achieved excellence with their architecture and local legends were carved more in Tamil Nadu than North India. 

They convered all the existing gods in current religion were merged with current Saivism. Dieties of Saivism and Vaisnavism were kept as center of the city and all merger were made as gaurdian gods. The concept of sirudeivam were constructed after this merger. We know the Homas were accepting animal sacrifices during this era and only after Sankaracharya's time the agamas of Homas and pujas were reconstructed. During his time, he further went to an extend and accepted worship of 7 Dieties and Sanyasam was made as optional. People who worship the gaurdian gods were once a Local Legend from their clan. That's why each caste has its own Kula deivam and once they were Local legends. If I am true, then unknown poets would be kept as Local Legend and that's why Tamil Kings allowed sirudeivams to exists. May be some of you might be worshiping thiruvallur in other names and avaiyaar in other names. Who knows only the almight know everything. எல்லா புகழும் இறைவனுக்கே. திருச்சிற்றம்பலம்.

Walking with Rama

Today we are going to discuss about pre historic age. These people are the indigenous people of this land. There were no kingdoms on earth. Humans was still a cave man. Lot of civilization which existed with us have faded out in time. Sumerians, Mesapatomians, Maayans, Egyptian (Blue Nile Civilization) and Indus valley. These were the people lived roughly around 1500-2000 BC. These people had established some kind of symbols to explain their thoughts. Since possibility of trade between them were minimum they shouldn't have know eachother. But there is a archeological evidence that scripts of these Indus & Eastern Island are similar. So this brings a different perspective of trade or movement of people. When scripts are similar they should have migrated after they have lived some reasonable decades with Indus valley people. Why do they migrate, what is the reason to migrate? These answers are unknown to till date. We should comparitively relate and understand. 

Since we want to deep dive into pre historic period of man kind we must get help of puranas. Using Gallectical alignment softwares Lord Rama's birth date was calculated and it is 5114 BCE. Sita was captured by Ravana in Chattisgarh apart of current India. Even though when we deny the existence of Vimanas, They should have atleast travelled to Lanka beneath the ujjaini by sea route. This will connect the dots that sea routes were there even before 5000BCE.

Why South Indians are black?

I came across a post in famous forum Quora where people were debating on dark skin people of South Indian. There were many diverse answers. Some answers were hilarious and sounded foolish. 

Some said north Indian womens were married by invaders and slowly they lost there identity. Ahh! This sounds hilarious to me. There was a practice called sati (உடன் கட்டையெரிதல்) in ancient India. When husband die, the women would burn herself with him. There were laws introduced to eradicate Sati in 17th century only. So women who were molastated in battle crimes would kill themselves. Whoever is the foreigner they will become a new caste in Ancient India. And they will be living alone side with other caste in Ancient India. 

So how do we relate to the dark skin question. We all know the race theory. Chinese and Europeans are different and white because they are in and above tropical line. Africans and Indians are different and black because they are closure to Equator line. So you can think why some tamils and mallus are black. What i learnt from history is Manu is a Dravidian and we know the story of how he saved the humanity from great flood. We have similar accounts which talks about 72 Pandiya Kingdom which was sunken in sea. Mudattirumaran, a Pandiya King had a past history of his ancestors lost their land becuase of some kind of tsunami. They got help from Cheras and Cholas and moved into southern part of India. Since they are from Equator region their clans are black in color or dark skin or dark brown. There are many people who believes in this dimensions. Because of this belief the movie Kandam was created by Canadian. You might search about British Indian Ocean territory, Mauritius, Maldives, Lakshadweep, Dwaraka and connect with Lumeria concept.

Golden era of Chera dynasty

Today we are going to show some light on history from early Cheras. Cheras one of the powerful Kingdom of South India who ruled the sub continent from Himalayas to Kaniyakumari. The trade flourished between Europeans and Cheras during Roman Empire. Mucuri (Sangam) or Mucuripattanam  (Ramayana) or Muyirikottu (Jewish copper plates) or Muzuris (Indo - Roman) was a port on the west side of South India. Where trade happened for gold, pepper, tiger, slaves and clothes. The people who came from Greece or Rome were identified as Yavanas or Yavanar. 

    How do these people from Europe travel to West cost of South India? This is a time called Hippalus (South-west monsoon) blows on the Arabian sea. Myos hormos a port in current Africa or old Roman Empire starts their journey to Muzuris to trade pepper. This is foreign market of those time. However the Greeks do not know Chinese or South east Asians directly. They exchanged goods through traders in South India.

    There were many archeological evidences found in this region in the means of coins (Julius Caesar coins in thiruppur) and pottery. Kodumanal is in current thiruppur of Tamilnadu which is near to Mucuri through the palakkad gap of western ghats. City that clothed Rome. 

The great Tamil epic Cilappatikaram (The Story of the Anklet) written by Ilango Adigal, a Jain poet-prince from Kodungallur (Muziris) during the 2nd century A.D., described Muziris as a place where Greek traders would arrive in their ships to barter their gold to buy pepper and since barter trade is time-consuming, they lived in homes living a lifestyle that he termed as "exotic" and a source of "local wonder". 

    Three Tamil-Brahmi scripts were also found in the Pattanam excavations. The last Tamil-Brahmi script (dated to c. 2nd century AD, probably reading "a-ma-na", meaning "a Jaina" in Tamil) was found on a pot-rim at Pattanam. If the rendering and the meaning is not mistaken, it establishes that Jainism was prevalent on the Malabar Coast at least from the 2nd century. 

    There were proofs that west believed earth was flat and we know the story of Galileo and after 350 years Vatican agreed that Galileo was right. Heliocentric theory came later into Greeks because those were taught to them. Yavanajataka, first form of current jathakam were in Sanskrit and that's the one of the reason why Sanskrit is considered as Indo-Aryan languages by many in Dravidian culture.

Legacy of Pallava Dynasty

These 2 Nandhivarman have changed my thinking pattern about Kings. We will talk about Nandhivarman 2, to understand this we need to know why these old time leaders have gone to Kambujadesam to bring their King. Few generations before their ancestors had 2 brothers. Elder one crowned as King of Pallava Kingdom from Kanchipuram and younger moved to current Laos region and formed Kambujadesam and ruled there. When Parameswaravarnam a Pallava King was killed by Vikramadhithya 1 in battle field, he died without heir. So the elderly leaders decided to travel to Kambujadesam. They brought a 13 year old boy to Kanchipuram and named Nandhivarman and gave the Kingdom. I want to understand more about what kind of laws they would had and what kind of education these people have undergone. I want understand the Tamil wisdom. They had a relationship with southeast Asia even before Rajendra Chola. This incident connects the dots how did Cholas know about கிழக்கு சீமை, Siam, Kadaram, Kambujadesam and had closer relationship. 

When we talk about Nandhivarman 3, we need to study நந்திக் கலம்பகம் and it is special in history books. This King want to hear Tamil poem couplets and died for this reason. The King came to know about the new கலம்பகம் and want to taste the nectar of the poem. When he had a desire to listen the Tamil couplets, the poet told conditions that he should arrange his own death bed and die listening to the last couplet. The below Tamil couplet was the one the King listened and after listening he accepted the death. I don't understand what kind of thought process those ancestors had to choose death for Tamil poem couplets. This history is out of the world.

These Ancestors had blood relations with Southeast Asian Kingdoms. Now it is clear how these people wrote யாதும் ஊரே, யாவரும் கேளிர். The Pallavas created their own script and that is called Pallava Grantha and for these reasons we should understand the connection between Khmer with Pallava Grantha. I have given enough proof on the topic tamils were around the world. These dots will support the Theory of aliens were around. By these links the number system (yen) was given to the world by tamils. 

Mamallapuram or Mahabalipuram is one of the tourist spot of Thondaimandalam which is the current Chennai city. The shore temple is declared as UNESCO world heritage site. Pancha Rathas is an example of monolithic South Indian rockcut architecture. 

Sandras or Sathurangapattinam located on coromandel coast of India in Kanchipuram. This town area was very old and renovated and rebuilt by Dutch in 17th century, The magnificent Sandras Fort was built by Dutch. At present this place is home to Indira Gandhi Centre for Atomic Research. 

Based on the scriptures, Amarar Kalki wrote Sivagamiyin sabatham which displays the lives of Pallavas, their under construction work of shore temple and battle with Chalukyas.

New India vs Old Europe

I always thought India is equivalent to Europe. Many will agree with me. There are lot of country in world which are smaller than Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Karnataka and compared to many other states in India. These Indian states are different in their culture but have similarities, speak different languages but somewhat similar by scripts and pronunciations. As Europe is divided into countries, India was also divided by different countries. As in Europe there are Princes, Here also there are old Palaces and lost Princes. It is New India and Old Europe. There are many similarities between Europe and India. But always Winners write Histories. Since Europeans ruled us for 2 centuries we still look up to them in all means. World is changing in all means. World is becoming a global village. How do we look at learning something of no use and no value in the market. That is how our identities are going. Our identities are losing values. Our language, our science, our Ayurveda, our Siddha, our culture.

Unless we use them we are going to lose them and its value goes down. When we understand this that our identity has value then we will protect it. Then we will join hands to preserve it. Our ancestors have build the set of practices looking at the past, how few clans vanished over time. Our culture are built to protect the root of this civilization. And there are very handful of people protecting it and rest of them do not have this education and play no part in the protection. Learning some ancient art, knowing few regional history atleast about medieval age, visiting some heritage places, using Ayurveda & Sidhha will make us connected to the past. Though a simple Indian life can make you feel like a Prince of the land. India is equivalent to Europe.

One Fine Tree

Today we are living in the planet with multiple belief system. One conflicting with others when we say this that tells we have gone through the length and breadth of it. We should investigate why this conflict exists still. Even after experiencing the divine in you, if people are not seeing everyone as their kith and kin and act against them then you have not attained the higher state of love and you are not eligible to spread your ideas. We should understand few concepts of human consciousness. An individual have a consciousness and he/she has a belief system in it. This can be different for each individual.
Bhrammaanandham and Prammaanandham.

Each individual has a belief system that is truth for himself, let's say he/she is born in strongly religious family. He reads learns practices a life style which forced upon him. Whether it is correct or wrong he has to live out of fear. This life style doesn't allow him to go with his natural thinking. Unless you break out of the religious rules it is not possible to enter the heaven. Religious belief say you die and attain a place in heaven. But Its not the only type of belief with respect to heaven. This Bhrammaanandham believes it in this way. But there are other Bhrammaanandham which believes in different way. One of the way is to see that I and the world is no different. Very few Bhrammaanandham believes this and live. i.e I the self is just a prison. Switch off the identity that i am so and so. When you do that you are no different than the breathing plant. Just to wittiness the life you remain breathing. When the plant grow then it becomes a tree. That's why the tree is behind a guru. This witnessing and tree like feeling sometime closely related to Prammaanandham. In this state  the tree give fruits and the animals take it. Don't tell a human, he might cut down the tree.
