Guest guest Posted August 10, 2005 Report Share Posted August 10, 2005 Hare Krishna. Has there been any work done showing Thiruvalluvar to be a Vaishnava ? I am aware of this debate about Valluvar's religious identity, with works showing him to be a Jain. There is also strong claim to him being a Saivite. Some Saiva Aadheenams have practically attempted to canonise Kural into a Saivite text. Are there any literatures presenting a Vaishnava view ? dasan r. jai simman jakarta __ Start your day with - make it your home page http://www./r/hs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 Please refer "Sri Nrusimha Priya" archieves. The well known scholor Sri Kesava Iyengar (Thirukkuralappan) has established beyond doubt that Thiruvalluvar is only a Srivaishnavite.Perhaps copy of the book may be available with his illustrious son Sri K. Parasaran, formerly Attorney General, Govt. of India, or his brother Sri Yaamunan, a leading lawyer at Chennai. - Jai Simman R.

Guest guest Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 Dear Sri Rahul, Hare Krishna. Thanks for your mail. I am not disputing anything that you have said. However, it is for academic and research purposes that I posed this question, nothing else. dasan r. jai simman jakarta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
