Basis Of Tamil Sounds In Vedas Sanskrit Tholkappiyam


So I gave up trying to find out which is older, Tamil or Sanskrit, with the conviction that both go back to very vast stretches of Time, both quote each other.

Brahmins Organized Indian Marriage System Tholkappiyar


Though marriage is considered to be sacred in Hinduism and has elaborate Rituals to solemnize and conduct marriages, I have not been able to find any definite information on who organized this system of marriage.

I could not find the origin of marriage details from the Puranas, Vedas or Ithihasas.

All these texts glorify and explain the rituals connected with Marriage.

The first written record on who organized marriage as a System is found in the ancient Tamil Grammar Book, Tholkappiyam, written by Tholkappiar, a disciple of Sage Agasthya.
