The Tmilian race of people is of an ancient stock. Some scholars are convinced that the Tamils originated from the continent of Lemuria that was later lost to the ocean. The Tamils were a sophisticated people in that they developed complex social structures.Their culture possessed spiritually sensitive art forms - prose and poetry; music; dance and drama. The exquisite Tamil language couched the esoteric essence of its people with intricate grammar. Some ancient literary works (6BC) place Tamils as the first circumnavigators.Essentially the Tamils were a spiritual people. Tamilians have practised twin form of spirituality namely Saivism and Thirumalismuntil the incremental invasion of the Aryans.
That is to say, that the Tamils acquired not only the worship of icons/idols but also the practice of offering fire sacrifices (Verlvi) as a result of northern invasion.
Sivan or Thirumal worship in its purest form meant that the Tamils
worshipped the ubiquitous Cosmic Spirit – the invisible One without any
aid of iconography. Formation of such seminal thoughts could be traced
in ancient Tamil literature including the Sitthar padalgal. For
example, a Sitthar Tamil poem sings: “Natta Kallai suttriyai; Naalu
puspam sathiyai; sutri vanthu mona mona yendru sollum manthiram
yethadar; natta kallum pesumo nathan ullil erukaiyil?”The mystic
through this song raises the question as to why one should worship an
inanimate object while “Nathan” - the indwelling Spirit / the Masterof
the universe is residing within one self. The divine interiority of
each person was paramount to the Tamil mind. It is not far from the
truth to say that the Tamils have adhered to a monotheistic framework
and referred to God either as Thirumal or Sivan.We propose that much cultural/spiritual corruption came via the Brahmins as they conspired to enslave the Tamils, inter alios, politically, intellectually, and spiritually.Corrupting InfluenceAdvanced civilisation of the Tamils divided the habitable landscape into four distinct areas. That distinction of habitation reflected their art and culture respectively. The four separate areas were 1) Kurungee: mountainous terrain 2) Mullai: Forest and the surrounding area 3) Marutham: Cleared area of ‘green site’ settlements 4) Naithal: Sea and dwellings along thecoa......
