Simultaneous origin of Tamil and Sanskrit from a Proto language - My talk in Chanakya TV (English)

Regular readers would have read my views on simultaneous origin of Tamil and Sanskrit in my different blogs. Recently I got an opportunity to speak about it in Chanakya Channel (English) that was aired as two parts on 18th and 20th of November 2022. I am sharing the links in this blog.

The above link takes you to the 1st part in which I am giving the evidence from Tamil literature of simultaneous origin of the two languages as siblings, by none other than Lord Shiva, as Somasundara, the ruler of the Pandyan capital of Southern Madurai. The time of that development is also discussed in this part based on Thirumular's Thirumandiram. 

In this link to the 2nd part of the talk, I speak about the presence of Sanskrit words as part of Tamil compendium, by citing examples such as Mantra - how that word is common to both Tamil and Sanskrit by highlighting the definition given in Tholkappiyam and etymology found only in Sanskrit. The definition in Tholkappiyam puts at rest the controversy on insistence on use of 'Tamil Mantras', as a mantra is not dependent on language but on who has conceived it. The Mantras are universal sounds that are and can be written in Sanskrit or Tamil or any language but by themselves they are beyond the scope of language. This is explained by means of the Pranava Mantra - AUM.  

In the course of the talk I have made brief references to how Manu smriti is not the code book. That status was given to the book of Danda Neeti given by none other than Lord Shiva (as Somasundara) while he developed Tamil and Sanskrit by sitting under a banyan tree - as Dakshinamurthy, I have also spoken about the presence of Varnas - not just four but seven as given in Tholkappiyam. This Varnashrama Dharma was also given by Lord Shiva in Southern Madurai. 

Finally I have indicated 'Paali' as the proto language from which Tamil and Sanskrit were made. 

Hope the readers and viewers will have a fruitful time in watching these short videos. For any doubts and questions you can reach out to me through the comment section of this blog.
