    Seasonally, December 25th has already slipped by one month.

    Yesterday I did not accept it, but today I have because I understand it. I am also glad Tamil politicians did this, and also glad they didn’t pursue it. Christians? What nonsense. The Tamil people will learn more about their history soon enough, and I applaud the DMK for encouraging this.

    As we learn about Mother Tamil and matriarchal society, patriarchal society

    The pyramids are mysterious wherever they are found in the world, but what function they could have had isn’t being used and wasn’t recorded either. To me the ones in Egypt are clear cut signs of their patriarchal society. I think each pharaoh wanted to outdo their predecessor. I doubt the...

    Seasonally, December 25th has already slipped by one month.

    That is when you consider an equinox from a celestial or night sky reference point. For humans who live along the tropics, the equinox is defined as the day when daylight is 12 hours. They know they will have 2 a year like clockwork, as well as solstices, hence they are fixed reference points...

    Was There *Two* Women Created in the Garden of Eden?

    You can also look at it from Adam’s perspective. When God tells Eve she must go through the pains of childbirth Adam is aware she will become a mother to his children. We also call Adam the first prophet, because when he says Eve becomes “mother to all the living”, this could also be...

    Seasonally, December 25th has already slipped by one month.

    My theory is the month thai, spelt the same way as mother, begins 3 days and 3 weeks after the winter solstice. It is the first month where every day in it gets longer than the last. I was always confused by why a people would celebrate harvest coming out of winter, but then I think they...

    Let's Talk About Shiva

    I wasn’t referring to who is Christian or monotheist or not. The influence has been felt all across the world if you include Islam’s interpretation of Jesus also. Most people of the world are aware of Jesus, even atheists, for the simple reason that we all use the Gregorian calendar.

    Seasonally, December 25th has already slipped by one month.

    Even calendars can be controversial, just look at India, but traditions will stay true. Tamil calendar is a solar one, always starting in Chittirai, April 13/14. It only varies by a day. I believe it is calculated 3 days and 3 weeks from the March equinox. Sanskrit calendar is lunisolar so...

    Seasonally, December 25th has already slipped by one month.

    Some clarification as I’m confused by your use of seasons. Seasons are experienced around the tropics, and this does not change with the solar 365 calendar. The March and September equinox is also constant globally, meaning equal number of light and dark hours. Depending on location and...

    Let's Talk About Shiva

    I need to look into the history of western astrology, which apparently became aligned with sidereal astrology 2000 years ago. The story of Christ has endured the test of time, and whether it is true or not it has become the most influential story of our collective history.

    Let's Talk About Shiva

    Astrology is very interesting, it is not a coincidence Jesus was born in the age of Pisces. Always ready to beautify your atheistic words thatha :) By that I mean, the previous “one word” is to be read forward and backwards, meaning from the 8th light becomes one with the creator, since one...

    As we learn about Mother Tamil and matriarchal society, patriarchal society

    The question you need to answer is where did the Aryans come from and when did they come to the Indus Valley. Most of what I’ve read places them entering the Indus area after 1900BCE. Words such as invasion is too emotive BUT this should not stop us from understanding what happened. As it...

    Let's Talk About Shiva

    My interpretation, when I see words combined as one in Tamil, is that it can make more sense when it is read backwards, but also making 3 divisions instead of five, and then joining. What then be interesting is starting with “one”, followed by “powerful creator/soverign”, followed by “heat...

    Evolution of languages

    I agree, if you are saying what your are saying within the context of the PIE-Anatolian origin theory. Agriculture of its own is a sign of a sedentary society. A successful one would be measured by population growth. Growth would be recognised by the formation of new settlements close to the...

    As we learn about Mother Tamil and matriarchal society, patriarchal society

    A very informative video explaining also how the Indus Valley Civilization leant towards being an Ionian type/matriarchal society. Understanding of the IVC is less than 100 years old.

    As we learn about Mother Tamil and matriarchal society, patriarchal society

    I am saying the people of the Indus Valley Civilization spoke either Tamil or a Proto-Dravidian language. When the Aryans started to move in, circa 1900BCE, this made the situation "difficult/kashtum/kasta". My opinion is, the "oor" or land/place would have become "kasdim" or "difficult" due...

    Wikipedia says Aldebaran was closest to vernal equinox 5000 years ago? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aldebaran#Observational_history In any case, the incestuous story of Brahma lusting after his own daughter has stood the test of time.

    The Rise of Monotheism: How Did One God Become the Norm?

    I would throw in "eye-witness" to the mix, specifically "witness in court". Realise I would NOT be preaching to the choir on that one. I interpret it differently. I think the scriptures are very strict in following a current of monism from the beginning, even when faced with the "reality"...

    Evolution of languages

    Ok, the way I see it is the Anatolian hypothesis as the origin of PIE is disjointed, and seems more to be dating a language based on evidence of agriculture. The conventional theory of the PIE languages origin within the Pontic steppes circa 6000 years ago I think makes more sense, as it gives a...

    Evolution of languages

    I quoted directly from your source. Whilst we could trace back primitive spoken language to single sources or otherwise, I don't believe all languages were equal in terms of the depths of their vocabulary. Yes, the way I see it is speech could have started in Anatolia or elsewhere. Speech is...
