Guest guest Posted January 21, 2004 Report Share Posted January 21, 2004 Are the two related languages? Why is it that the Mahabharata and Ramayana were first written in ancient dravidian and then converted to Sanskrit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 21, 2004 Report Share Posted January 21, 2004 1) No the languages are not related. 2) Thats because the sages who wrote the original works, Vyasa and Valmiki were Dravidians. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 21, 2004 Report Share Posted January 21, 2004 That the vedic influence was written in by the Aryans? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 21, 2004 Report Share Posted January 21, 2004 1. Sanskrit and dravidian languages are different. 2. See language as a medium of communication only. 3. Tamil is as old as Sanskrit, and Tamil has the oldest written Grammar book. 4. Dravidian languages are spoken in south India. 5. Except tamil ( to some extent tamil too) all south Indian Languages have borrowed from Sanskrit. 6.Even tamil literature speaks about the greatness of Vedas and SanatanaDharma. 7. Dravidian languages are used as a compliment to foster the Unity among hindus in the south. 8. Temple rituals have Agamic way, and the local rituals also, and both go hand in hand. 9. The great Sanskrit literatures have been translated into tamil ( Ramayana, Mahabharatha etc.) 10. Lord Shiva is Praised by the Vedic Mantra and at the same time, by Thevaram. These are some of the facts. If you put a black colored glass, they will look black, if you put a green colored glass, they all will look green. But try to analyse the facts without bias and you will know the truth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
priya_vaishnava Posted January 27, 2004 Report Share Posted January 27, 2004 tamil and sanscrit came from the same libi.Bhrammi libi. So did hosts of other languages like english. even though english claims to have come from roman libi,,it to came from bhrammi libi. The roman libi too came from bhrammi libi. first let me prove tamil and sanscrit had same origins,then let me go to english. Tamil is oldest language in world,,i agree. BUt tamil and sanscrit both originated from bhrammi libi. so both tamil and sanscrit are as old as twins. both are of same age. how? oldest book in tamil is tholkappiyam,,written by tholkappiyar,,who is a bhramin. tamil grammar was written by agathiya rishi,,alas,again a bhramin. both of them knew sanscrit very well. and even many tamil books,,,as old as mankind claim the adherence to vedas. vedas are the oldest of books. so no arguments. god created tamil and sanskrit. from same libhi. happy?

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2004 Report Share Posted January 27, 2004 Myth Has it that, when Lord Shiva, started playing his Damroo ( Udukkai in Tamil) , which is musiacl organ havaing the form of two cones attached end to end at the vertexes and animal skin spread over the base of the cones, with a small ball tied to a thred, hitting both the ends, tamil came from one end and Sanskrit came from the other end. So it essentially means both originated from the same source at the same time, and both the languages came from the same lord. Tholkappiyar was Agasthya's Shisya, and when Agasthiya saw the book of tholkappiyar, he burnt down his own grammar book. So Thokappiyam became the oldest written book in the world. Agasthya is supposed to a tamil saint and has written lot of Slokas and Mantras both in Tamil and Samskrit. This is yet another proof that Aryan invasion theory is a myth.

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2004 Report Share Posted January 27, 2004 We have the Gothra Pravara System and Agasthya is one of the brahmin rishis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 9, 2004 Report Share Posted March 9, 2004 It so happens that Tolkappier and Agastiyar (presumed to be brahmins) rendered their contributions in Tamil kingdom and nowhere else. So one can easily presume that tamil kingdom was very indeed very advanced in literature, philosophy and in creative writing. For anyone to be creative the environment needs to be creative too. So it really does not matter who wrote what and who was what. Thiruvalluvar who was not a brahmin has been the single most creative man in ancient india, if you exclude valmiki and vyasa (both dravidian and not brahmin) who wrote the mahabharatha and the ramayana! For if you were to read the vedas, the bhagavad gita or any other exclusively sanskrit work you would see how uncreative they were. feel free to pen me your opinions ananthshanmugam@hotmail.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
