Yagas (vELvi) condemned by kuRaL.
vaLLuvar condemned vedic practices (yaaga):
avichorinthu aayiram vEttalin onRan
uyir sekuththu uNNaamai nanRu.
Quite clearly, ancient tamils called it "avichEgam" Both avi and chegu (sekuththu ) can be found in the kuRaL.
avi + seku + am = avichEgam (tamil ) > abishekam (sanskrit).
As animal sacrifices came to an end or the group practising it gave it up, avichEgam (abishegam) also changed its character and reached its present connotation.
Both the root words are well preserved in kuRaL.
puuvum niirum kondu iRaivanai vazipaduvathu tamizar paNbu.
puu sei > puusai (tamil) > puja (sanskrit).

TIRUKURAL AND ITS REAL SOURCE.
Friends,
I See with pride, quiet a lot of Friends with Dravidian Supremacy views, but still lost totally the Latest Research and Proven views.
Dr.M.Deivanayagam, a Disciple of Devaneya Pavanar- took various Commentries written for Tirukural, and took mainly from Pavanar and Panmozhi Pulavar Appadurai- and established Tirukural is written by Valluvar from Teachings of Apostle Thomas- a Disciple of Lord Jesus and with base as Bible, and also got P.Hd. on this.
Tirukural is essentially a Christian book to explain Bible.
All Dravidians should be proud of this.

It is not a question of Dravidian supremacy. It is a matter of understanding the true nature of our literature and the relevant history.
Even if the Tamils were the first race in the world it still carries them nowhere.
Presently researchers say that human race originated in Africa. Of what material help is this to the present Africans?? Is that African supremacy?
The purpose of etymology is to arrive at a proper definition of the word or to understand its correct meaning. True appreciation follows from correct understanding. The purpose of literary research is to lead to true appreciation of our language and literature. It is not to dispise other languages and their literature.
Writers here have said that kuRaL was not influenced by Northern culture and languages because that is the truth, as evident from our analysis. There is no supremacy involved.
I am unable to accept Dr Deivanayagam's views and his thesis, for reasons I have stated in my post in the Indian History section in reply to Mr. Paulthomas. The learned doctor's views are not unusually convincing to me for me to embrace it! If people here did not touch upon something, it does not follow they are all totally lost to that thing!! Certain things are best left untouched. For the info of Mr Paulthomas, Dr Deivanayagam has already been mentioned in some posts. Allegation that we are totally lost is erroneous.
Any person of any religion can say that he is at peace and at home with kuRaL!! That is the beauty of kuRaL. It is pothumaRai or pothunuul. So I am not surprised at all that a Christian says it is his, a Chinese says it is from Confucious and even a Muslim can say that it is like Mohamad's teaching - one God, no form and so forth. KuRaL was deliberately written to accomodate all. kuRaL kept clear of all religious influence. Even the atheist is happy with it!!
It is one gift of Tamil Nadu for all humanity.

impressions and clarifications

//Most of the response against my posting were more of emotional and not a research and Truth Oriented.//
Sorry to have given you this impression. I am not emotionally involved with anything. In a particular response to your post elsewhere, you would have noticed that I re-edited my post. I always aim to have a balanced view of things.
Quote
//¸¡ó¾¢ Åý¨¼Â÷,À¢Š.ÁÄ¡- both do not agree with the Regular Interpretations of Tirukural done over the Millennium, but surprisingly do not agree with Dr.M.Deivanayagam, founder of Dravidian Religious Movement.//
Please proceed to use your debating or reasoning skills to make me and others agree. My mind is not closed to anything. I want to focus on the rationes behind any conclusion.
Quote
//Deivanayagam, from Pavanar School, took all the major commentators of Kural, mainly the Thani-Tamil movement and Dravidian Rationalist Commentaries, and brought the Correct Meaning of Tirukural as A Bible Oriented Christian Book.
Deivanayagam’s first book was titled, “¾¢ÕÅûéÅ÷-¸¢È¢Š¾Åá?”- Released by Respected Tamil Dravidian Scholar- and then Minister for Health in M.Karunanithi Govt. R.NEDUNCHEZHIAN. i.e. in 1969, then Chief Minister and Highly valued Tamil Perarignar-KALAIGNAR M.Karunanithi has given a foreword to the book. Mylapur Santhome Church Archbishop also has given a foreword to it. Most of his books have been released by high ranking Dravidian Ministers.//
I do not slight any of these intellectuals. Dr D must have put in quite a great deal of hard work into his thesis. I do not also decry his efforts.
Quote
//All Dravidian friends, Dravidian Language speakers are from abroad, who came to India/Tamilnadu prior to 3000BCE, earlier than Aryans, who came after 3000 BCE. Tamil Wrting was derived from Asoka Brami, which was again derived from Biblic “Aramic script”//
Give us more of the evidence. We’ll be surely glad to listen to you.
Quote
//If Friends are interested, I am willing to discuss on Dr.Deivanayagam’s Truth findings in detail, and it is good that Bis.mala can support as claims to have fully read them. //
Claims to have fully read Dr Deivanayagam? I do not make any such claims and I am not a researcher in this particular area of literature in which Christianity and VaLLuvar are interplayed. After my one or two posts, I was waiting to hear more from you, but you have drawn, apparently, an adverse inference from my posts and disappeared from my computer screen for quite a while. You could, in my opinion, have persisted and stood your ground with more evidence pouring forth from your case bag like an advocate in court. (sorry Paul, this is just a light-hearted comment).
I am not promising to agree, for that will depend, as it will for any other rational being; but I shall carefully listen, as I think the others too will. Please explain to us the basis of Dr D’s conclusions.
Please spell my name in Tamil as Á¡Ä¡ and not ÁÄ. Please amend your post. Thank you.
Quote
//Bismala, Christianity is a Universal and True Divine Religion, and hence accepted by all over the world; so that Thirukural is claimed as belonging to all religions. But it is derived from Bible.//
I understand this is your proposition for discussion. I am not anti-Christianity or anti-any religion. Kindly put forth your evidence for everyone to read. I am not in your way.
Quote
//Friends, let us follow Thirukural and Bible, the original from which Kural came.Thirukural is written from Bible, is the truth.//
Please proceed to enumerate and explain the proofs. I wish you all the best.

TIRUKURAL AND CHRISTIANITY
Friends,
I do not understand unwanted comments, and I leave them aside.
Happy Christmas to you all.
The book of Dr.Deivanayagam - based on his Phd thesis - Tirukural, Viviliam and Saiva Siddantha a comaprison was published by TN Govt.' International Institute of Tamil Studies, and this Phd moderatior was highly regarded Scholar-S.V.Subramanian.
This book is the One I want to discuss.
Mr.Deivanayagam established that Tirukural was book written to probagate Bible and to Preach Christianity.
I want all to understand this and to discuss on this, and as per Dr.Deivnayagam, entire Tamil knowledge is derived from the Preachings of Saint.Thomas.
Please confirm this. Dravidians as per Caldwell, Slater, Burrows etc., are the People who came to India with the Language from Outside India. So we cannot selectively take some Ideas and please do not harp on this. Let us discuss Tirukural and Deivanayagam's works.
PAULTHOMAS.
merry christmas and happy new year

Dravidian Relgious Movement Founder, Pulavar Dr.M.Deivanayagam, continues his work in the same way as Rev. Bishop Caldwell, G.U.Pope, Pavnar etc, for seving the Lord Jesus Christ and for the growth of Dravidian movement.
Dravidian Relgious Movement Founder, Pulavar Dr.M.Deivanayagam, continues his work, by making his disciples get further P.hd., and M.phil. etc., to confirm that Tamil bakthi movement of Saivism and Vaishnavism by Nayanmars and Alwars are inspired by Our Lord- Jesus Christ’s Disciple Saint.Thomas Teaching of Bibles and that Tiruvalluvar wrote Kural to probagate, True Historical visit of God as Human, Jesus Christ, who gave his life and blood as Sacrifice, to purify all the Sins of the Humanity and also the Birth Sin we carry due to Adam- the first man having disobeyed God’s word and had intercourse, and Humanity came in. Lord Jesus Christ saves us from all our Sins.
Dravidian Relgious Movement Founder, Pulavar Dr.M.Deivanayagam; explains all this in his book- ±ØÀ¢ÈôÒ; and his other books include

And ofcourse his Monumental Research Thesis book:-

In this book he relates Saivam with Bible, Later HIS Daughter Tamil Pulavar-Dr.D.Devakala Jothimani; got a P.Hd. for relating Vaishnavam with Bible, and his other disciples continues this with the help of Madras Christian College and others; doing a marvelous work to probagate for Dravidian cause and for telling Tamil public on Lord. Jesus Christ.
I am surprised by attacks on me even from Dravdian Scholars as Mr.fsg and mala, Friends I am collecting information on them and putting here as I have only two of their books.
Dr.D.Devakala Jothimani, herself participated in few forums; as per my Search by Google, which any body can try.
Lord Jesus teachings were put in by Tiruvalluvar in Kural, I Shall give proper interpretations of Kural by Pulavar.Deivanayagam, from now on.
