Vyasa ,Son Of Helen Of Troy, Lord Krishna Son Of Chandragupta

We , the Tamils, have a long and rich cultural History.

And we do have a sense of humor, at times beyond one's imagination when some one makes astonishing , stupid and brazen claims of the Tamil History.

It is true that Tamil is an ancient language, as old as Sanskrit or even older.

There are references to Tamils, Tamil Kings, Cities of The Tamils in the Vedas, including the Rig Veda,

I have posted quite a few on these subjects.

I have an open mind, be it any subject.

I posted articles that the Rigveda was , in fact, written in Tami,Lord Rama spoke Tamil in Ayodhya, though the evidence was so scanty as to be no evidence at all, expecting rebuttals.

None came.

While trying to prove that Tamil is an ancient Language and Sanskrit is younger to Tamil, Tamils are superior (!?) to every one on the earth, some ridiculous claims, purporting to be Research Papers are doing the rounds on the Internet.

I am posting some excerpts and Links for Stupid Reading, as I have done.

Gems.

Lord Krishna is the son of Chandra Gupta.

Lord Krishna was exiled by Chandra Gupta Maurya.

Veda Vyasa is the son of Helen of Troy.

Lord Siva is the Slave King descended from Alexander, the Great.

Sage Vasishta is a Demon, Asura.

Thrisanghu Swarrgam is Andhra Pradesh.

And it goes on and on!

The disturbing fact is that its quotes are authentic but interpretations are plain stupid and motivated.

Unless one has an in-depth Knowledge of Tamil and Hinduism one can be easily misled.

Want Money? Host A Dinner

Some customs are meant to help people in distress.

Men living in Tribal Societies formulated some customs to help the needy.

As the society develops, it seems, man has become more greedy and starts misusing these noble concepts.

One such Custom being practiced in the Districts of Coimbatore, Erode, borders of Pudukkottai and Thanjavur,Tamil Nadu is 'Moy Virundhu'

That is organizing a Free Dinner for the villagers by those who are in need of money.

The reason could be for celebrating the marriage of a Girl in the Family, Debts or simply the need for additional finance for Business.

The Rules are:

One should be really in need of Money.

They should organize a Feast for the villagers this could be for 100 to 500 people.

Prospective attendees are to be invited personally.

One can put up a poster, Bill Boards even.

The Dinner should consist of minimum six dishes and must include Non Vegetarian, especially Lamb,Chicken.

At the Dinner those who attend the Dinner must donate money they can afford and this will be recorded by the host.

There are instances when 40 to 60 tables are put up to collect money.
