I am delighted to share
the news about the A3 Conclave organized by Voice of Covai in Coimbatore. The
conclave, which took place on November 30 and December 1, 2024, at Codissia,
brought together 27 speakers, including myself, to discuss the significance of
Bharatiya culture in shaping India's identity and future.
The A3 Conclave,
which stands for "Awake, Arise, Assert," aimed to promote and
celebrate Bharatiya values and Sanatana Dharma. I am glad to be part of this
inaugural event, which was conceived to inspire and empower individuals to
assert their cultural heritage.
As one of the
speakers, I had a fantastic opportunity to share my insights and engage with
like-minded individuals. The conclave was indeed a thought-provoking platform
for discussion, debate, and assertion of the timeless wisdom and principles
that have sustained our nation.
The event
coincided with the return of Sri Annamalai, President of TN BJP, from his
3-month research stint at Oxford University. He graced the occasion as the
chief guest and delivered his first public address after his return.
The conclave faced
unexpected challenges due to heavy rainfall along the east coast of India,
resulting in delayed and cancelled flights. Unfortunately, Union Minister Sri
L. Murugan was unable to attend and inaugurate the event as scheduled.
On November 30, I
presented a talk titled "இதிஹாசப்பார்வையில்ஆரியப்படையெடுப்பும், ஹரப்பன்நாகரிகமும்" (Aryan Invasion Theory and Harappan
Civilization in the light of Itihasa). My presentation delved into genetic
studies on the Yamnaya culture, analyzing the movement of people from Europe preceded
by an earlier movement of people from Bharat to Europe through the lens of
Ramayana events. Additionally, I explored the Harappan culture from the
perspective of Mahabharata, shedding new light on the ancient civilization. I also
made a case for re-naming the Harappan culture as “Mahabharata Culture”.
In connection with Tipu Jayanti in November, I gave an interview to Tamil Janam TV on Tipu's atrocities.
I talked about many facets of Tipu, such as his rigor in religious conversion, temple destruction, and the horrific killing of the Mandayam Iyengars. The places raided by Tipu and his father Hyder Ali had left a trail of destruction and also conversion. I pointed out evidences of temples ransacked by them and how people had to flee their home towns to escape their fury. Popular example is that of the former Chief Minister of TN, Mr. MG Ramachandran (MGR) whose ancestors fled from Pollachi to Palakkad to escape the wrath of Hyder Ali.
I also pointed out the genetic research that shows Muslims of India, particularly in places like Tamilnadu and Kerala were converts. This is established by common ancestry between them and the Hindus in the neighborhood. Genetics show cultural change from Hinduism to Islam and no foreign component in the Muslims.
In this, I talk about whether there is a connection between climatic changes and the Yuga. Earlier in a movie, it was shown that people saved the essentials to escape on a ship, expecting that the world would be destroyed due to change of Time. This is how Vaivaswata Manu escaped a flood. I explained how Manu had known in advance the coming of a flood by observing the behavior of a fish.
I also explained many details about Time, the changes that occurred with Time, the first flood that brought Manu to the River Saraswati, the place where he reached after being swept away by the flood and the first rains in the Indian sub-continent.
I concluded this series by saying that these details have no connection with Yuga. Yuga is a different genre which I explained in the previous parts of this series.
In this, I have talked about the 24,000-year Yuga calculation given by Yukteshwar Giri. He says that Yuga is based on the precession cycle. This concept is based on the idea that the earth's axis keeps moving backwards; it takes 24,000 years to complete one circle. This is called precession; this cycle of 24,000 years is considered to be divided into four yugas, according to Yukteshwar Giri.
This concept is not mentioned in our scriptures. Based on the astrological texts like Surya Siddhanta, there is no precession; but the sun moves forwards and backwards. That is, the sun does not move in a straight line in the universe. It moves in a winding path like a snake. Everything in the universe moves in a spiral.
To us who travel with the sun, this curved path looks as though the sun is moving forwards and backwards.
Also, the earth's axis does not move. If it is true that it moves, then on the days of equinox (equal day and equal night), the sun will not be visible in the middle of our temple towers. I have explained such details in this part to establish that Yukteshwar Giri's version is not correct and that the Yuga concept is not based on precession.
