10 AnswersEngineering1 decade agoTamils Only : What does Thiruvalluvar say about "Bones" in this Thirukkural?
அன்பிலார் எல்லாம் தமக்குரியர் அன்புடையார்
என்பும் உரியர் பிறர்க்கு.
This Kural seems to convey a different meaning. How can he say that bones of the people with real love belong to other people. If he a jain then it can be said as Jains leave their bones to vultures and foxes. If he not telling about Jaina philosophy, then how the bones of a lovable person belong to others. I am not talking about whole body organ donation which is done at present. I am talking about bones which can be useful to others.

3 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 decade agoTell me one reason why we should save our Tigers?
Why Indians want to save Tigers? If you have to save tigers, then you have to kill so many deer, cows, goats etc.. Tigers are terrific beasts, carnivorous which needs to prey on innocent cows and deer. At least cows, goats, buffaloes are useful animals which gives us milk and work for humans. But these nasty tigers are of no use to mankind. Why don't we let it die just as the bloody dinosaurs? Why don't we save the innocent cows and deer instead of these Tigers?

5 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 decade agoAbout Non-Vedic or Pre-Vedic Hinduism?
Just wondering how many present Indians know about the Non-Vedic Hinduism which rendered a great amount of knowledge which is the root to Indian culture and heritage? Like the universal texts such as Thirukkural, Avvai Kural and Naladiyar.
Texts which laid foundation to Universal Brotherhood 3000 years ago which said ' All the nations are One and all the people are kith and kin'.
While Vedic Hinduism was bound by Varnasharma Dharma which seperated people on colours, non-vedic Indians preached love and true knowledge. No Brahmin authority or Vedic authority was prevalent and all people had access to true knowledge. No yagnas or homas. No Vedic chantings or sacrifice present. No puranas or mythology. No Ramayana or Mahabaratha.
This unique Indian culture was present and can be read in the early Tamil Sangam literature. However later Sangam literature started to show the traces of Vedic religion which shows the penetration of Vedic culture into Indian continent.
If anybody knows about this Unique non-Vedic culture of India, please share your views...thanks

7 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 decade agoCalling all Tamil supporters. Give an idea to stop genocide in Srilanka before thousands are killed?
Very urgent. Tamil supporters please give a concrete idea to stop genocide in srilanka immediately. We know that India is behind this genocide. How can we make India standstill so that Indian govt calls for immediate ceasefire. All our attempts in the past were in vain.
My suggestions
1. Two hundred thousand people should sit around parliament in Delhi and should not disperse until cease fire
2. One hundred thousand people should sail across to srilanka and help the Tamil people who are wounded.
any other ideas. please think about a possible idea to stop the war before it is too late.
12 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoWhat is the role of God in this war torn world of violence?
I am wondering what is he doing when
1. Genocide taking place all over the world
2. Big fat nations subjugate and crush small powerless nations.
3. Hunger is the norm in the third world countries
Is he just watching until all the people are wiped out of the planet or is he planning, planning and planning for a come back just like our Indian Govt to take any action.
What is your opinion?
18 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 decade agoAryan and Dravidian conflict resumes after 5000 years?
I am wondering whether this Aryan and Dravidian conflict has resumed after 5000 years since the great Indus Civilisation. Though many have disputed and refuted that Aryan Invasion is a myth, but now seeing the present scenario in India it looks like Aryan Invasion is true.
If you look at the present Tamil genocide, the entire Tamil population is against Srilankan government and the entire Brahmin population and Aryan influenced north Indians support Srilankan govt. Both the parties have completely different view on the present war against Tamils. Even in TamilNadu, the Brahmin community support Srilankan govt's stand while the real non-brahmin Tamils support Tamil community and Tamil freedom fighters.
How do you look at this? Who is going to win?
