`Wealth` which Sages use

செல்வம் - Wealth;

Today we are going to discuss about wealth and who were richest people of ancient times. When we say wealth the quickest thought comes to mind is `money`. Unless one has knowledge, they can only understand "money is only wealth". `Knowledge about self and society` bring one to a different altitude and those will understand there are different Wealths. Pre-historic mankind had different wealth. When we use chisel down technique then we can see the Ancient society very clearly. Let us chisel down governments one by one, When we chisel down India we get British, When we chisel down British we get Nayakars and Palayams, When we chisel down Nayakars we get Nawabs, When we chisel down Nawabs we get we get Vijayanagar rulers, When we chisel down Vijayanagar rulers we get Later cholas & pandyas, When we chisel down Later cholas & pandyas we get eary cholas & pandyas, When chisel down them we get Imperum Kaapiyangal times, When we chisel down Imperum Kaapiyangal we get a society which wrote grammer to the Tamil language, When we chisel down the society we get mankind who traded in sea, When we chisel down traders we get farmers, When we chisel down farmers we get predators from stone age. Survival is the Knowledge at these times. So `ultimate knowledge` one should acquire is not money but survival skills. Slowly from stone age to medival age, when we look at there is a better Grand father with knowledge. Even before grammer was written for a language, there were listening skills which made one to become a better Grand father. Writing skill had only materialize what one has thought and experienced, those were fact and knowledge at these times. What stone age society thought as wealth? What farmer society thought as Wealth? What trader society thought as wealth? What medival age society thought as wealth? What millenials thinks as wealth? `what is wealth` varies in all the time. For poor, ways to become rich is wealth. For rich, ways to give to society becomes wealth. At all ages these two principle will not change. What one think as wealth makes him/her self. 

Looking at medivel times with this idea, count how many temples are in south india. Temples in south india > temples in north india. The society in south india were the richest and wealthiest community of Indian sub continent. If you ask a civil architect to estimate the construction cost of the temples in south india, today it will be measured by money. But if you understand the chiseling technique and estimate the wealth of the community, then you can understand, who are the richest? So having dozens of bitcoin doesn't make you rich it only helps you to survive and it is not wealth. Definition of wealth varies time to time. For all the time, `wealth which is supreme` varies but the medium doesn't change which is told in Thirkkural ages before.

Wealth of wealth is wealth acquire be ear attent; Wealth mid all wealth supremely excellent 

- Thirukkural (411)

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.

One Mountain, Different paths

Oh God!, bless me to think for the people around me, give the knowledge that is common for the human kind, make me a tool of you for the people! When I think about God, which God I am praying to? Does God have a name? Does God has a shape? Does God has a specific place? Oh God! tell these people that you were not born and will not die. When anybody in this planet think about God from different locations of the earth, what do they get? We all share one common earth, one connected atmosphere and that has one general principle, then wherever you think about God then everyone should get that One Almighty which is common to us. Now each part of the earth interpreted for their group in words and take logical conclusions and fight with neighbors, i am big, i am big and i am only correct. Let say different Group of people live in earth as H,I,C,J,S,V and B. Some group go to an extent and say God sent our leader so we are close to him and we are bigger than you. Some group say we reject what other groups are saying but our leader is correct and we follow. Some group says i accept everybody's path but I have my way which is best. This is like everyone trying to climb one mountain peak with their interpretations. Some climb from north, some from east, some for south and few from west. Everyone's goal is to climb and reach the mountain peak. By this time Group 'C' leader looks at other groups and say that what a fool! they are going in wrong directions we should help them because we are close to the peak. And sends few scholars from their group and debate and bring other group people to join in their group. People from other group might be close to the peak and inching closer these scholars go and debate and bring them to their group and add those people to the beginner category. The other guy has to learn everything from scratch. So that he/she goes to the bottom of the mountain. If he/she understands what their own path is telling, they wouldn't have gone to the other group and join as toddlers. By this time all the group completed their journey and concluded their position as mountain peak and started enjoying their position. Few were at mid of the mountain, few were close to the peak but not at peak, few were at bottom of peak. Wherever one is born and start to climb the peak their destination is similar/common for entire human race. Without this understanding different groups fight to defend their symbols. People think that their destinations are different. All these blind people who have never been to the peak of the mountain teach, preach and guide others to attain peak. Oh God! come down from the peak and walk us to the destination.

If one wants to mix with environment and become one with it, then steps are common for all.

If one want to reach the ocean from different rivers then everyone reach one common ocean.

If one wants to climb the mountain peak then everyone move towards one common destination.

Once a Siddhar was traveling to Thiruvannamalai to get the darshan of the deepam. He was all alone walking towards the mountain with others. The one saw a scorpion struggling beneath the rock, The one saw that and wanted to help it and moved towards it and tried to remove its obstacle. The scorpion continuously stroked at the One. Others saw that and told the one to stop helping it, Are you a fool? The One wisely told, "Its tendency is to strike and mine is to help".

In Ancient time before Buddha everything was inter-connected in the earth, everyone was traveling to the common destination though they are divided in terms of land, group and Gods. We have shown enough proofs in the blog saying that tamils were around the Globe as one family and they had interconnection with other civilizations. There are proofs for a pandian king ruled an Island in Greece, Mandothari of Mayan civilization married Ravana in South India, a Pandian princess got married to Korean king and those clans still visit India, Still there are pandian clans living in China as groups, Agathiyar contributed to the Rig Veda hymns in Sanskrit and Thirumoolar from north composed Thirumanthiram in Tamil.

Oh God! make these people see the History through this blog.

Gnani and Nirvaanaa, A two different thing

Today I am going to discuss about Brahma Nirvaanaa. What is this? Is it a person or a specific group of people? People give these titles to specific group, sect and selected people. People relate these terms with a person or religious identity. People don't see these as general concept which describes the state of mind of human beings. What is this state in the mind? Who all can attain this state? Anybody can see this state in their own mind, Anyone, Men or Women, No caste/varna discrimination, No religious discrimination, No rich or poor partiality, but animals cannot see this state of mind, only human beings can see. People in the busy world from early morning to late night work, work and work. Always they do some actions like brushing, bathing, eating, driving, talking, working, thinking, playing, watching and sleeping. When we go to sleep how many get a good, satisfying and deep sleep? Not many* When sleep is not satisfying, then mind is not getting rest and slowly it becomes restless and it grows into accumulated stress. People don't do any action to get raid of this stress from their body and mind. In Ancient times people realized this state of mind and invented an action that can remove stress from the mind. People use to sit and relax and detach from the self and attain a state of mind and that is called brahma nirvaanaa/sunniya. Regular practice of Nirvaanaa removes stress and makes one highly active. In the due course you get happiness in day today activities. Regular attainment of Nirvaanaa brings detachment in actions and that's what Karma yoga is. People might confused and relate it to a state of body without clothes but I am referring a detached state of mind with clothes in body. When you are detached from self then one can see that I and the self which is composition of body and mind is different. That 'I' is called Brahmman that's you. When one detach from the self and see the Brahmman then he/she has attained Brahmma Nirvaanaa. Anybody can attain this status in life. But people confuse with Brahmma Gnani and Brahmma Nirvaanaa, earlier one denotes a person and later one denotes a state of mind. A person who regularly attaining Nirvaanaa is not a Brahmma Gnani. Brahmma Nirvaanis (eg. Buddha) are common in human clans but Brahmma Gnani is very rare, so far in the history of man kind Gnani can only be counted in fingers. People are not able to see Gnani and give recognition in society. When we say count of  Gnanis were in single digit in entire human race, then one should understand what is that status called Brahmma Gnani. People don't celebrate this occurance of Brahmma Gnani. Because people don't know how to identify a Brahmma Gnani. Will people learn the tricks to identify the Brahmma Gnani in future atleast?

Rasleela a divine dance

Today I am going to discuss about concept called Rasleela. According to text what is Rasleela, "The Rasleela takes place one night when the Gopis of Vrindavana, upon hearing the sound of Krishna's flute, goes to forest and dance with Krishna". This happens on the full moon day and Shiva from the Kailash mount dresses like Gopis and joins with Gopis and dances with Krishna in the Rasleela. This Vrindavana forest is still there in the North India where people still believe some supernatural thing is happening in nights so people stay away from the place with due respect to divine during night time. Rasleela is the core of all classical dance like Kathak, Bharatanatyam, Odissi, Meitei, and Kuchipudi. Its a dance with the divine, meaning the dancer pairs with divine and perform the dance, That means the supreme being Krishna companies the dancer and dances with each one in the forest. This is nothing but the Jivathma and Paramathmaa concept. Jivathma is living things and Paramathmaa is the supreme being. Jivathma borns, lives and dies. During this time the Jivathma when as Human thinks about Paramathmaa and Paramathmaa tests the Jivathma and guides it to reach him. Only because of this phenomenon of Human thinking about the Paramathmaa, these temples, sculpture, paintings, stories and other stuffs are built by Humans. If this thinking of Paramathmaa existed in other animal then those animals would have built all these things. A every old Sidhantham of Tamils created by few Clans before 1st Tamil Sangam. The Paramathmaa and Jivathma travels together. When the Paramathmaa reveals itself to the Jivathma then he/she is called Brahma Gnani. 

 

This is same as the Darshan of Chokkan described in early article. Hare Krishna.. Hare Krishna.. Krishna.. Krishna.. Hare.. Hare.. Hare Rama.. Hare Rama.. Rama.. Rama.. Hare Hare..

Language of Chokkan

Today we are going to discuss the Varna system. All these concept should be seen from a Brahma Gnani's mind, because he is the Shuka who can see the past, present and future so he is called "ShukaBrahma". We need to travel back in time to look at how this Varna system was designed. Why you need a system like Varna? Is it a Caste system? What are the difference between Caste and Varna system? Today this is a political theme to run politics. Leaders play a divide and play policy. There are 2 kinds of people who follow the practices by Manu script. People who merely follow the practice (A) and People who want to understand and live according to the principle said (B). So there are 2 kinds of people A and B clause. 'A' clause can be easily diverted, converted and misdirected. 'B' clause can not be converted or diverted he just play a role and move on. Now 'A' clause is majority people living and have the voice to say anything to public. This clause 'B' is totally clear about what is going on and plays a passive role to the public. So their voice are not heard even though they are correct in their perspective. These are just fundamental principle of the human kind when they live under a Ruler(Dictator) or Political system (Democracy) or in group of people (Socialism). There will be two groups fighting for the Chair. In this fight 'A' will win for 100 years and 'B' will win for next 100 years and this will continue to change for ever in this system. A = Asura and B = Bhairavaa When we say this then One becomes GoRaBhairavaa and other AgoRaBhairavaa. This is just a fight between to two principle of mind. One is Good and another is Bad. This happens inside the mind a fight between the good thoughts and bad thoughts this happens for everyone. A constant fight between good and evil is a non stop thing that is happening when the mind is looking outside world. When we turn this outside looking mind and look for a solution inside then one starts the journey towards the "Chokkan" the hanging lamp without oil or thread. This is the journey everyone need to take.

There was a time when there were no temples on this planet and Tamils were wide spread across the global as a Global civilization. People saw these 'A' and 'B' as just principle that cannot be stop, the fight between Asuras and Devas never ends. Clan heads decided to investigate on what is happening inside the body and mind when one closes the eye and think, Since outer world is easy understood by anyone. Many in the Clan wanted to take it as a challenge and know what is happening inside. Lot of a people started to look inside the body and mind. Days went, months went. years went, nothing was found.  Few Clans started documenting their experiences and gave to the next generation so that the search continues. Many Clans see common principle between each clan and all were not sure about the start and end of the Universe and also start and end of the mind. There is no start and end for the Universe and mind but they both exists without any doubt. Clans started teaching these principles to next generation so other don't have to start from scratch.
So the Guru Parampara begins. One tells about this Universe and Mind to another what is the reality which exists always no matter whoever see this it is all same principle. The Clans had their own document which they follow and these documents are different from each other clans in terms of the achieving the same common goal The Darshan of Chokkan. Slowly the Clans had lot of knowledged persons and there were fight between who is big and what is correct? Then a Time came so that all the Clan heads decided to come to a common platform with their document. All Clan heads came together and brought these in terms of a common language in terms of scripts. Then they came up with language so called Tamil. Because each letter in Tamil an outer expression of inner and outer knowledge. So it is called the Language of the Chokkan who spoke to the Mankind. Everything that Tamil tells is an expression of this Universe and the Mind. Thus the 1st Tamil Sangam was formed under the common principle between the Clans document. Clans were so dedicated to see the Chokkan, they spend years to get a darshan and not all can see him without his wish. But a human being has to eat and live for the survival. So he has to sow the crop, cultivate, exchange with someone and run the family, community and Clan. So each Clan decided to divide this sow, exchange and run the community. Inside each Clan they decide to give the responsibility of sow, exchange and run the community to specific families so they keep the ball rolling (Human kind lives forever) and the Darshan of Chokkan is not disturbed for anyone in the Clan. Anyone wish to see a darshan there is no blocker, one has to follow the document of the Clan and do what has to be done to see the Chokkan. It is a pride for the Clan when one of their people gets the Darshan of Chokkan. Where is Caste here? Where is Varna here? Its just a share of responsibilities so that their Clan can win in the knowledge fight. Will a Sangam era come again? Will the Knowledge fight restart again? Varlaam Varlaam Vaa Bhairavaa Bhairavaa........

Dual Principle is like a Coin

Universe is full of dual principle. When ancient humans saw this world they saw it as two. Day/Night, Happy/Sorrow, Good/Bad, High/Low, Peak/Valley, Push/Pull, Like/Dislike, Open/Close, Friend/Enemy, etc... this list continues... This exists in the body too. Anyone is made by Male and Female, so one has the male and female principle in the character. One can see this authentically by self questioning method recommended by Master Ramanar. Ramana Maharishi is a definite guide for the self questioning. When you sit and question to yourself who am I? There will be a total blank will be witnessed. But if you question who I resemble like? This is the closest question that can get an answer. If you find answer for the prior question then we should meet for a discussion. So the closest question will give you an answer and make you realize a male entity and female entity in you. You can see those 2 entities as your parents or even grand parents. This state of mind represented as arthanadhiswaram body contains male and also female components. Male the Shankar, Female the Devi is the dual principle developed as philosophy by One ancient tamil clans and told to many different clans across the globe. Shankar/Devi when pronounced by other clans is pronounced by Shang Di. What exists inside exists outside. இங்கு /அங்கு  hence become Yin Yang. You can see this great old philosophy is available in different civilizations as Zeus/Hades, God of Heaven/God of Under world. When a good exists there exists a bad too. There is a constant push-pull force in the hiranyagarbha. There is a story in the mythology too. When all the Gods were in the north for a grand occasion there was a imbalance of knowledge. So Gods sent Agathiyar to south to balance the entire Gods in north. Just take this story to understand the dual principle. When we say The One exists in the world then there should be a Zero to balance the One. After all this is Digital era, just 1s and 0s is the fundamental of the system. Every Clans just see your leader as The One and look for the Zero. 1+0=!, is that a wonder! ah! Gopalu, Gopalu yenna vanthu kootitu poda 🙋.........

Note: Check this post in Mobile device and in Desktop to experience the dual principle right now.

Clash of The Clans

Caste a sub division of Hindu People. When we say Hindu People, they are people who lived in Hindustan or Clans who lived after Indus river. So we should conclude they are Clans who had a specific God, Temple, Kula Guru, Sambrathayams and Practices. When we say this then each clan becomes a religion. With this words if you count there are more than 100+ religion in this Land even before the origin of Buddha. When we take this Clan heads and Gurus separate, they are formed by 1st Sangam directly under Siva. Siva the ultimate goal and common for human being. Why attaining Siva is a common goal for humans? because when we accepted Siva, Siva is the natural principle of the universe which is common for all human being. All concepts and guidelines are created(Bhramma), practiced(Vishnu) and destroyed(Rudhra) within this common principle. Whatever religious principle you mention that is inside the natural principles and laws nothing is outside the universe. When we say Tamil Sangam was formed by accepting a general principles by various sect of people, there exists perspective which tells clans existed before 1st Sangam and clans which was created after 1st Sangam. Clans like Pallar, Mallar existed even before the 1st Sangam and those clans were renamed in various social circumstances and lived in medieval ages in the name of Udayar, Vellalar, Kulalar and Kuyavar. These are few clans who were in the administration of the ancient Tamil region as Cholas. There were 3 Sangam organized by the Clan heads and spiritual leaders like Siddhargal. We can definitely bring our clans together and form the Sangam again. But what and how of the Sangam will be a mystery. There were furious battles fought against other region which are mentioned in the temple inscriptions. Cholas have not lost their last battles as per historical evidence. But people say that Cholas were disappeared. In this universe how one clan can disappear. Still the Udayar, Kulalar, Malayaman, Nathaman, Surthiman, Vellalar, Velar, Pallar, Kallar and Kuyavar clans are living, only the administration has changed. Cholas built temples, monuments, dams, empires, cities and life style. These ancient clan have the knowledge how they built the temples under what assumption and principle. Knowledge is never changing principle. Knowledge never dies. Whatever birth you take these natural principles don't change. These clans believe in rebirth. If one of these clan leader gets a rebirth, then he/she can tell the principles behind the symbols, stone cravings and how to conduct the Tamil Sangam again. Will The Arunmozhi Udayar raise again?

The Blue Nile Civilization

Already we have discussed a lot about an alien civilization that was missing in the current history. Today I have got another reference that the Tamils were around the Blue Nile Civilization. The main stream historians are avoid too many reference to link that the alien civilization roots back to the kadal konda thennadu. We have shown many reference in this blog that tamils were around the world and tamil was the one language that was spoken across all the tribes in the previous globalization. But people still show allergic to tamils, tamil language and refuse to accept tamil civilization. This blog was created to fight against the ignorant mind set of people and enlight them that tamils were their forefathers. This blog was created to say that Aliens contact was not the reason behind the historical monuments, but tamils were the one who is reason behind the historical monuments. This blog should have been named as Tamils were Around instead of Aliens were around. I have named it because today Aliens were famous then Tamils.
