Zarathustra (Zoroastra) from Saurashtra




அக்னியில் அடங்கிய அவதார புருஷர்கள் under this title in தெய்வத்தின் குரல் vol 1 காஞ்சி மகாஸ்வாமிகள் tells how the Agni worshipping religion as Zoroastrian religion took off from Saurashtra part of Gujarat-India (Vedas) roots. Igni of Latin is from Agni, meaning to say Agni worshiping was practiced all over the world and we are born in this religion which is practiced world eternally and will continue eternally.
While the mother religion lives eternally the child religions keep sending refugees to the same part from where the prophets went. It is everyone’s duty to strengthen the Mother religion if we really care for human survival.

Long back before reading தெய்வத்தின் குரல் , When I came to know on the hell/heaven, judgment day concepts of middle east religions(Jewish, Christianity, Islam)…I was wondering at its roots…Could not find and was wondering, but when I read on Zoroastrian religion from one Boyce Mary the missing link found its answer. For the middle east religions of monotheism as they call can be traced to Zarathushtra’s ideas/teachings?

But since all the roots of all religions will be coming to 'Mother of Religions as Swami Vivekanand said in Chicago 1893 11th September'. These religions have their roots in Hinduism or religions of Vedas.

Boyce Mary herself shows the link of Zoroastrian religion to Vedas in her writing, linking Brahmin’s white thread ‘kusthi’ or girdle…along with numerous other areas like Devas or Agni,Yazna or other names…

When I read on the way Zorostrians dispose the dead, it was strange and was wondering at its origin, for they dispose the dead in open air for animals(now in a high rise towers for birds to eat?)

Again In தெய்வத்தின் குரல் I read on Sanniyasin’s body is also left to animals be eaten..

Thus Zoroastrian religion made the Brahmin’s பூணூல் for all males in its religion. Same way it applied Sanniyasin’s body disposal practice to all its followers.

Thus we can find the roots of religions to Hinduism but making the practices in wrong place or manner and that’s why those religions are compared as creepers growing on the palm tree of Hinduism தெய்வத்தின் குரல் gives the best and solid proofs on these and more including the Zend Avesta roots..And what makes Hinduism as palm tree is also mentioned in Deivathin Kural as caste system which is not in other child religions which grows and die fast.

Thirukoneswarar

Returned from Thirukoneswaram temple or Trincomalee. This is the second most important temple as I guess after Kathirgamam. The temple is sung by Indian saints as Sundarar and Thiru Gnanasambanthar.
I also found the temple showing அருணகிரிநாதர் திருப்புகழ் .
After nearly a 7hrs of bus drive from Colombo reached Kannya, Sri Lanka's hot wells.
There are 7 hot wells and with different temperatures each..(I could hardly say the difference though I felt between one or two) and they are all located closely.Took a bath/wash(no soap allowed) and straight went to காளி அம்மன் temple but it was closed by 7 I guess. So after dinner went to Thirukoneswarar where the stage was just getting ready as there was a TV crew to Telecast Sivarathiri live to Sri Lankan people who owns(or knows someone who owns a TV).
I went inside temple and though not a big temple, it did attract a special invitation....it is sad to note that Portual colonizers plundered the earlier and much larger temple and used the stones to build their fort which still to this day stands(in fact one enters through the archway of the fort built in 1623, if I am right)...
Now I guess Even during the pujas, priest first does pujas in a place which is believed to be the spot where earlier/original Linga must have been in place before Portual destruction?...(whether Portual colonizers later learn lessons or not, the later colonizers from English definitely learnt, that by no harsh means, colonial powers can ever succeed and they gave lot of religious freedom...and we should know who is to civilize and whom? when looking at the blunders of serious failures of the past colonials ones from the earliest sea voyages of Portugal, Spain, Dutch, French and finally English, or are we missing anyone?...more of this in Deivathin Kural)

Advaita-Means to keep religions alive






I wonder if there could be a better and easier way on explaining Advaita Vedanta?

Again his excellent words on keeping religion alive by creating people with great qualities alone is a message for ALL RELIGIONS...

And his words to those who like to convert to another religion is to be remembered for he says by converting, the people not only degrade their old religion but also the new religion to which they convert to...

திருக்குறள் Thirukkural, குரு குலம் Guru Kulam





திருக்குறள் Thirukkural is mentioned by Kanchi Swamigal as Tamil Vedam...meaning its such a great work...and he says in another place Tamil language is great as Sanskrit because it has திருக்குறள் ...

He also mentions on how to keep Gurukulam active which shall be the only way to give the real Indian education as it really meant...Hope some rich Indians will do some contributions.

Women work after marriage - Deivathin Kural



Continuing with yesterday's positing, Kanchi Mahaswamigal also questions how women working besides causing problems of child growing without proper love(please no excuse just as he says on western society, one who has lived there knows it better)...and he painfully says how our society is also inviting such blunders by woman not taking care of children...(bcos of work)...besides this he questions how the same jobs could be instead given to men who are unemployed and seeking a job...
In above he charges again on Brahmin community for increasing their desire for more money has extended not merely to get married but also even after marriage how they want more money and husband send wife to get money and thereby declining the love the baby/child needs and causing a society like that of west...well we are all part of this blunder and we all have to pay the price...the old age homes are not accidents...but our own results of blunders...of ignoring Kanchi Mahaswamigal words...will the society listen now? we have no choice if we really care for future generation....

Simple Living - Kanchi MahaSwamigal




Material desire has no end and those from West are coming to India in search of peace, Yoga, Vedanta, Bhakthi, Bhajans and even after this if we can not open our eyes and get our thoughts right, what to say? Thats our unluck...more in தெய்வத்தின் குரல் ...where he also mentions on Standard of living or Quality of living as how வாழ்க்கைதரம் should be translated. He says it should be Quality of living.

Lets have the basic needs and share with those who do not...and make what Mahatma said 'There is enough for the needy but not enough for the greedy' a quote of the past...
