  • Manu Rama’s Ancestor Migrated From South India 5000 BC

    We seem to accept legends,folklore from the West s History if they are quoted even if these sources are do not stand scrutiny.

    Thus we have sources like Greek mythologies,Legends on Roman Empire,The Bible,legends associated with the Prophet.

    When one studies them and try to cross reference them with archeological findings,astronomical phenomenon one comes with a near blank.

    For instance, take the case of the Bible.

    It the legends in the Bible are true,they should have some points of reference to astronomical phenomena which one can verify,or reference to them in world literature of its times,; no such references.

    Or take the western History of Immigration and Human settlements in Europe,Latin America.

    One is informed that there was an initial wave from the east,Asia, and these people settled themselves in Bulgaria, Yugoslavia.

    Then the , second wave.

    Now these people moved on to other parts of Europe and to Spain, Portugal, North Africa.

    What is missing is the explanation as to from where did these people come from.

    And these people were reported to have mingled with the people who were already living in these places.

    If the first migration was from the East, how come there were people already living in these areas?

    From where did they come?

    For more on this, read my post Rama’s ancestor Dravida.

    But the Puranas and Tamil Classics provide information that can be checked with astronomical phenomenon, cross checked with other literature, archeological findings.

    One such information is the so-called Legends of the Tamil Sangams.

    Sangams are Poets’ Conclaves held by the Tamil Kings.

    There were three such Sangams held.

     

    ”

    The Tamil Sangams or Cankams were assemblies of Tamil scholars and poets that, according to traditional Tamil accounts, occurred in the remote past. Scholars believe that these assemblies were originally known as kooṭam or gathering.[1][2][3] which was also a name for Madurai. Three assemblies are described. The legend has it that the first two of which were held in cities since “taken by the sea”, and the third of which was held during the 5th century BC in the present-day city of Madurai. The word sangam has its mention in the sense of an ‘academy’ in several Tamil literary works like Tevaram, Thiruvilayadal puranam, periyapuranam and Irayanar Ahaporul. Also legend has it that Nammazwar’s Thiruvaimozhi was approved in an assembly of 300 poets.[4]

    The Sangam period extended from roughly 350 BC to 300 AD (early chola period before the interregnum), when the earliest extant works of Tamil literature were created (also known as Sangam literature).[5][6] However, the name Sangam and the associated legends probably derive from a much later period.[7] Whilst the accounts of first two Sangams are generally rejected as ahistorical, some modern scholars, such as Kamil Zvelebil,[8] find a kernel of truth in them, suggesting that they may be based on one or more actual historical assemblies. Others reject the entire notion as infactual.[9] Nevertheless, legends of the Sangams played a significant role in inspiring political, social, and literary movements in Tamil Nadu in the early 20th century.”

    References to Sangams abound in Tamil Classics.Silappadikaram,Sangam Literature.

    Sage Agasthya is reported to have formulated  the Tamil Language at the behest of lord Shiva.

    This Agasthya is not a an imaginary figure.

    His existence has been proved by checking up the fact of his crossing the Vindhya Mountains to proceed south on the orders of Lord Shiva to maintain the equilibrium f the earth.

    By calculating the position of the Star Visaka and constellation Canopus Agasthya has been proved.

    Agasthya’s date by this method is around 5000 BC.

     

    ”

    If sage Agastya was the first to cross
    the Vindhyas from the north, he would
    have been the first northerner to see the
    star. Hence the star has been named after
    him, just as the Magellanic clouds in the
    southern sky are named after the navigator Magellan,
    who first saw them as he
    sailed southwards.
    This fixes an epoch of 5000 BC
    for sage Agastya. This date is
    based on the assumption that for a star to
    be visible its meridian altitude has to be at least 5°
    . If we make 8°meridian altitude as the criterion for visibility,
    the date of Agastya would be shifted to about
    4000 BC.
    The dates 5000 and 4000 BC
    should therefore bracket the probable epoch
    of Agastya crossing the Vindhyan mountains.’

     

    The Sangam dates to 9000 BC.

     

    I found a sloka in the Bhaghavatham which states that Satyavata Manu, the ancestor of Lord Rama was a Dravidian.

     

    That saintly king and ruler (king) of the Dravida Countries who was known by the name of Satyavrata, at the end of the last kalpa (before the Pralaya) .. received knowledge by service to The Purusha, he indeed was Vaivaswata Manu, the son of Vivaswan, his sons have been proclaimed as the kings, famous as the Ikshvakus.

     

    Agasthya is referred to in the Ramayana Yuddhakanda asking Lord Rama in the battlefield to recite Adithya Hrudhayam.

     

    ‘

    Shabri is stated to be belonging to the Bhil tribe. Shri Rams’ army, which succeeded in defeating Ravana, was formed by various tribes from Central and South India.

     

    Taking into account these details the Birth date of Lord Rama  is January 10 in the year 5114 BC

     

    This and Agasthya’s date tally.

    Therefore if Rama’s ancestor has left for Ayodhya from Dravida , it should have been before 5000 BC.

    “Manu had many sons of whom 50 perished quarrelling with one another. Ten sons survived, one of whom was Ikshvaku.

    The Brahma Purana (Chapters 7 and 8) provides details on Manu’s 10 sons and their descendents as follows.”(check the Link below).

     

    This places the time Manu,Satyavrata Manu left Dravida Desa, South India around 5000 BC.

    This is corroborated by the end of The  Second Sangam period by Tsunami.

    That is 9000-3700=5300 BC

     

    ”

    If credence is given to the commentary of Irayanar Ahapporul, the beginning of sangam should be placed somewhere in 9000 B.C.

    The second Sangam (iṭaicaṅkam)idaichangam was convened in Kapatapuram. This Sangam lasted for 3700 years and had 59 members, with 3700 poets participating.”

    Chera King Udiyan Chralathan fed both the Panadava and kaurava Armies during the Mahabharata War.

     

    The Pandya King fought along with the Pandavas as the Pandya Princess was married to Arjuna.

     

    Krishna  married a Pandyan Princess,Pandyah, Megasthanes says and had a daughter through her.

     

    Arjuna married a Pandya Princess and had a son Babruvahana, who was the only person who killed Arjuna,that Arjuna was revived is another matter.

     

    In its turn Tamil quotes extensively the Vedas.

     

    A King Sibi was the ancestor of Rama.

     

    There are numerous references  that speak of the close relationship of the South Dravida with the Sanatana Dharma.

     

    I have posted extensively on this in posts where it is warranted(Under Hinduism/Tamils)

     

    I have posted an article, based on archeological, geographical evidence that Lord Rama’s ancestor Vaivaswatha Manu migrated from the South to Ayodhya to found  his kingdom.

     

    Shiva with his son Ganesha left by the Arabian sea towards the middle east.

     

    Now let us consider the following .

     

    Tamil People settlement dates back to Palaeolithic Age.

     

    That is Prehistoric Age, 1,510,000 BCE until around 3000 BCE.

     

    A discovery of a rare fossilized baby brain in Viluppuram district, by a team of archeologists was reported in April 2003, It is estimated to be about 187,000 years – 200,000 years or older.

    Then came the Neolithic and Iron Ages.

     

    Considering the fact that Sibi and manu Needi were Cholas and are quoted by extensively by Puranas and Tamil Literature, there is definitely a possibility that the Cholas descended from the  Solar Dynasty.

     

    Cross checking with the Thirvalangadu Copperplate, the Dynasty of the Tamil Kings are traced back to Solar Dynasty.

    Many scholars dispute this despite evidence from from the Puranas and Chola Inscriptions.

     

    Purana evidence is disputed despite the fact the geographical features mentioned in them, Kings reign tally with other verified facts and accredited by archeology.

     

    Chola inscription are also not due credence because it happens to be excavated mostly by Indians and it does not agree with the concocted story of Aryan Invasion Theory.

     

    What a scholarship!

     

    The fact that Ramas’ ancestor was from the South, the Floods mentioned in the Tamil Classics tally with this event, I am of the opinion that the Cholas descended from te common parentage of Lord Rama.

     

    One group migrated to North, another towards  the Middle-east and yet another survived and stayed back in the south.

     

    * I will be tracing the Pandya and Chra Dynasty as well.

  • Hinduism On Children Illegitimate Children

    Hinduism accords importance to Familial relationships.

     

    Duties of each member of the Family is set,Man,Wife,children,Brother,Sister and elders.

     

    However the emphasis  is more on the duties of the son.

     

    Hindu Symbol OM.jpg
    Hindu Symbol OM

     

    Hinduism considers the begetting of a male child to be auspicious as they believe that the son prevents the parents entering the Hell called ‘Puth’

     

    The name for son is Puthra, one who prevents parents from entering Puth.

     

    The Smritis state that a son is to be treated as,

     

    a King till he is Five years old.

     

    as Slave from 5 to Fifteen and

     

    a friend after Fifteen years.

     

    A son is not to be praised in his face.

     

    His mistakes are to be pointed out.

     

    a son has to be educated within one’s  means.

     

    As children can not understand the difficulties of running a family(till they are fifteen No Family affairs are to be discussed with them nor their opinion sought even for their education)

     

    Once they are married all decisions are to be taken after discussing with them, not necessarily following them.

     

    They have to be taught etiquette  and discipline as set forth in the Taittriya Upanishad in Siksha Valli.

     

    The son , when he comes of age is expected to run the family and the parents have to maintain themselves , either by staying in the family or withdrawing to the forest as a vanaprastha.

     

    If the wife is not willing to accompany the husband,she has to be left in the care of the son.

     

    The son  is the Guardian of the Mother.

     

    The son is the next authority in running the Family and he has to take  care of his sisters  and younger brothers as a father.

     

    His wife occupies the next place in the Family after the Mother and Father.

    She is Mother in another form.

     

    The son is to perform the Funeral rites of the Parents.

     

    He shall perform all the duties of  the Father, including  the performance of all Poojas and Rituals prescribed for the Family, after the Seemantha for his wife is performed.

    Gautama Sutra 28.18.

     

    Manu on Illegitimate Children

    By the sacred tradition the woman is declared to be the soil (or the field), the man is declared to be the seed; the production of all corporeal beings takes place through the union of the soil with the seed.” (Manu. IX.33)

    “Those who, having no property in a field, but possessing seed-corn, sow it in another’s soil, do not receive the grain of the crop which may spring forth.” (Manu.IX.49)

    “If (one man’s) bull were to beget a hundred calves on another man’s cows, they (i.e., the calves) would belong to the owner of the cows; in vain would the bull have spent its strength.” (Manu.IX.50)

    “Thus men who have no marital property in women, but sow their seed in the soil of others, benefit the owner of the woman; but the giver of the seed reaps no benefit.” (Manu.IX.51)

  • Whom Should A Brahmin Marry Manusmriti

    People malign Manu without studying his work in full.

     

    Texts are often taken out of context to suit one’s convenience.

    Manu Smriti

     

    Whatever be the subject, deep thought seems to have gone into and these Laws are arrived at after taking into consideration the stability  of the Society and the welfare of the individual.

     

    However Social Order seems to take priority.

     

    The Laws of Manu on selecting a Bride , to me, seems very rational.

     

    As parents most of us follow the same without articulating or even aware of it.

     

    To ensure Offspring without Genetic disorders Manu prohibits marriage with immediate blood relatives.

     

    And with chronic illness and birth defects.

     

    He insists on not marrying from a Family without a Male Heir.

     

    Boys’ parents know how difficult it is to interact with a child with no brother/s for they normally are unaware of Mael view-point.

     

    And in the event of the demise of the girl’s father, if there are no Males to interact  on behalf of the Girl, it creates n running the Family at times of crisis.

     

    Manu pays scant regard to the wealth of the Girl’s Family.

     

    He has also provided some physical marks which might have a bearing on the character of the Bride.

     

    Some of his observations are vindicated by Science, like the one regarding excessive Body hair-normally the extra hair growth is because of imbalance in Hormones.

     

    Read the Laws of Manu on this.

     

    Though this appears to apply for Brahmins, my view is that these laws are meant for the three Varnas, Brahmana, Kshatriyas,an Vaisyas as Manu simply lays down these rules for the Dwijas(twice Born)

     

    That is those who wear Upaveeda.

     

    These three varnas must wear Upaveedas.

     

    Therefore these rules of Manu apply to all the three castes.
