Here should we take the "senthiratta thamizhOsai" as "thamizh maRai"

and "vada chol" as the "Vedas"? I find it hard to take it that way..

 

Perhaps he meant "Om" as "senthiratta thamizhOsai".

I have read also claims from saiva siddhanthins about "OM" being of Tamil

origin.

 

I guess if we pass a scan over all words in texts

there will be lot more occurances of the "sound Om" in Tamil than in most

other languages! Like the Tamil verbal suffix for 'first person plural verb',

"seyvOm", "varuvOm", "vandhOm" etc.. So it is a "thamizhOsai".

(Tamil sound). It became a Sanskrit word. (vada chol aagi).

 

This has been exploited by some Tamil poets to bring out the manthram "Om".

 

Best seasons greetings to all
