Mother Goddess

 No saivam in sangam tamil era

No lingam. So, no connnectiin with Indus culture.


During sangam era( 200 BC to 200 AD)

and the Kalabra interrugnum(200 AD- 600 AD), Siva was unknown in Thamizh territory.

Saivam took root in this area only due to the conversion of Mahendra Pallavan

From jainism to saivism...post gupta era.

.

So, what is easier than simply appropriating all the mother goddess shrines, putting a semi-round stone there, give some fancy and cock and bull story and ...lo! Entire thamizh land is now freed .

That is why we never find any moola murthy icon except the lingam in any saivite shrine. Nàyanmars had 100% state support. ( Chithambaram ..1000 AD..is an exception..perhaps the only exception..or may be the 'symbol' is

Tucked away in some nook.

It is significant that the same spot has a vaishnavite shrine as well.

.

But people do not easily lose their cultual memories. For them, it is still shrine of mother goddess. Madurai, Kanchipuram.

Show some evidence from pre 600 Ad. In tamizh land. You cannot.


the semi-woman concept is exclusively associated with Siva , that too only in far south.

The reason is all these Siva temples were originally of KALI.

In Bengal, it is stand-alone DURGA that is worshipped, quite distinct and un-connected with Siva.

May be the case with Devi worship in Mysore and even in Kerala.

In Maharashtra, it is Bhavani.

.

Siva is a very late arrival in Tamil country, .it all began only after 500 AD.

.

All the sivan temples, were originally, KALI temples.

.

Like KALI, .Krushna and Murugan were ancient deities of Thamizh land.

So, in sangam period ( 200 BC to 200 AD), and during the Kalabra interrugnum,(200 AD to 600 AD)there was very little of SIVA in ThamiZh country.

Siva stories were direct import from Gupta empire., especially, the puranic .

LOKAMANYA AND MARXISM

  LOKAMANYA AND MARXISM From the available evidence it seems safe to establish the proposition that the credit of introducing Marx and his doctrine of   class conftlict to India for the first time goes to Bal Gangadhar Tilak.  That Tilak had a genuine interest in socialist thought is evident from the kind of 'selections' he reproduced from foreign journals in the issues of the English weekly, The Mahratta, which he edited from its start in January 1881 , and also from the articles he intermittently wrote championing the cause of agricultural labourers and industrial workers in the Kesari from the time he took over its editorship from G.G. Agarkar in 1886 to his last days in 1920.  An article on nihilism' was reproduced by Tilak in The Mahratta of 17 April 1881 .This article, reproduced from the English journal Leisure Hour, noted that nihilism 'manifests itself as radicalism in politics, as communism in its social aspect, as theism in its religious tendencies'. ...

  INDUS,IRAQ and TAMILS ... RSR ...... ..... This is a long and disjointed post. The following points are stressed. 1. INDUS VALLEY CIVILIZATION  is dated from 3000 BC. thanks to the Archeologist John  Marshal . 2 Aryans were  cattle  growing tribes from  the shores of CASPIAN Sea Turkmenistan, uzbekistan region. Kurds, scattered in north iran, north iraq, north syria and eastern turkey. . 3 They spoke a language similar to Greek, Latin and Sanskrit and Persian (iran). Tamil is not derived from sanskrit Perhaps, kurdish people, who are now  fragmented into three  areas in Iran, Syria and Turkey are closest to Aryans.   4. Indus people were Lingam worshipers They were saivites .  They were idol worshipers.  They worshiped the Bull . Rishaba vaahana  .. . Aryans were not idol worshipers . Aryans did not have any priests. Aryans were pastoral people. Cow and horse, typical ranchers. They did not know agriculture ... Tamils are n...
