I delivered a talk under the aegis of Tedx ,Combatore on April 8th.
The event was streamed live.
I am yet to receive the video or the photographs from the event organisers.
I saw the photos at Tedx Coimbatore site.
This is is at Flickr.
Many readers ,who have watched the event Live, have been asking me to share the material.
As I had told the organisers I am very uncomfortable speaking from a prepared text or notes and I speak extempore.
As the time allotted was 13 minutes, I had to prepare notes and it was a novel and nerve racking experience for me to take notes and rehearse at 1.30 am(?), with two people with Timers.
It is a different matter that I did not follow the prepared text to the letter in the Talk,though I was informed stuck to points and ppt thrown up on the screen.
I am reproducing the Talk from the notes I had prepared.
I shall share the video as and when received.

Stone Age Site 60 km from,Chennai
One hundred and fifty years ago, on May 30, 1863, young geologist Robert Bruce Foote bent down and picked up a stone tool on the Parade Ground at Pallavaram cantonment, near Chennai. It turned out to be an epochal discovery. Foote’s discovery revolutionised the study of India’s pre-history.
Attirampakkam (13°13′50″N, 79°53′20″E, 38.35 m a.s.l), is an open-air Palaeolithic site situated near a meandering tributary stream of the river Kortallaiyar, northwest of Chennai.

6.The present formations of India, Arabia, Africa, Antarctica, South America and Australia started breaking up due to natural upheavals and moving to different parts of the earth at the rate of 15,000 years per mile on an average and found their places in the Asian Continent. The movement of the earth mass, called Navalam Theevu in Tamil, caused the formation of the present continent of India.(McKenzie and Sclater American Geologists).
7.Lemuria, one of the world’s oldest civilizations, about 2.5 lakh years ago, in Indonesia. Hence, Lemuria and Kumari Kandam, which existed in southern part of India, are different lands.
(Frank Joseph, Secretary for Ancient American Association, in his book “The Lost Civilization of Lemuria”, )
8.It was only during the final days of Atlantis that the Lemurians broke these seals and thus saved many surface dwellers from certain death. These people formed a society that subsequently returned for a time to the surface and became the Rama Empire situated in Southern Asia. Then the Great Flood of 8,000 BC ended this attempt to save humanity from the dark ways of the Anunnaki. (Atlantis Legend)
The points mentioned are explained in detail in the site, Category ,Tamils.
I shall locate them and share as, as usual I forgot.
This was what I intended to speak.
Question: Who here can remember the name of their great, great
grandfather?
Glory of Tamil Language
1) A language which is so structured that the sounds of the alphabet
are reflected in its very name – Tamil
2) Complex and Noble thoughts – 7 words – Tirukural. Long poetic
story in 1 sentence without full stop – Silapadikaram
3) Helps you think clearly and express precisely – because of its
mathematically oriented grammatic structure (Short example)
4) Ranked on par with Sanskrit – Evolved to grammatical precision
over 1,50,000 years
Where did this language come from? My research has revealed
that it comes from a lost continent – a continent called Kumari
Kandam.
(Describing geography and size of Kumari Kandam)
1) Kumari Kandam – Named after Kanyakumari
2) It was immense having a land mass of 34 million square miles –
approximately 29 times the size of present India. And it had a
population of 64 million.
3) It extended to Newzealand, spain etc.
4) Traces of Lemuria can be found even today – Agastya in New
Zealand, Shiva dance in Australia, Boomerang as an ancient
weapon.
5) So diverse – It was divided into 7 groups of 7 each, totalling 49
territories – Mango land, coconut land etc
6) And there was something special about those territories –
Question to audience – How many here have family deities –
please raise hand. Actually very ancient custom – In Kumari
Kantam they assigned different Gods to different lands.
What kind of a society did they have?
Very intricate and elaborate society structure. For instance, lets take
marriage – how many types of marriage do we have today? I would say
3 types – Arranges, Love and Elopment/Running Away.
In Kumari Kantam they had 7 types of marriage… What happened to this society?
Unfortunately a tsunami destroyed Kumari Kandam in1780 BC
approximately. Only remnants of this great society can be found
throughout the world. Let’s look at a few remnants in India.
1) Remnants of Great literature
2) Poomphuhar etc.
3) Traditions such as Ancestory worship, Pongal, Adi Perukku, Chitra
Pournami
Conclusion
In conclusion , I’d like to leave you with a few thoughts on the
amazingly pervasive nature of Tamil culture.
1) Manu – Man, First human being was a king of Tamil nation
2) A Tamil Chera king was such a legendary figure for his honesty
and integrity that he was appointed to feed the warring armies
in Mahabarata.
3) Tamil has a great soul! City is mine and everyone is my relativE.
What I actually spoke will be known when I receive the Video.
