Ishvarapranidhana Yoga Sutra 23 Patanjali

While calling for devotion to God as a Prerequisite for realizing Godhood or attain Reality, Hinduism also states that the Reality if name less Formless.

For details please read my post God Has Name s and Forms, Yes and No"

The Reality is described as Sat, being, Chit, Consciousness and Ananda, Bliss.

The Upanishads call the worship of deities as inferior.

In the Bhagavad Gita Lord Krishna states that, I appear to one in what ever Form he worships Me , I grant him his wishes in the Form He worships"

Then why the concept of God at all if it is not necessary

One does not become a Ph.d straightaway, has o go through schooling step by step.

But, once you reach Higher Level of Learning, the earlier levels seem redundant.

But it must not be forgotten that without that one would not reached the present level.

In the same way the concept of God is necessary for Spiritual development.

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.
