Where was Hinduism/Advaita Shaivism present?
From the voice of the Divine (Kanchi mahaswami)..........
Regarding Sundaresar or Sokkanathar of Madurai.......
"Among those who exclusively contributed scriptures to Advaita, there were others before the Acharyas.
There was someone called Sundara Pandyan (the name sounds like that of a king from the South!);
Another was Dravidacharya. The Vishishtadvaitins also claim this Dravidacharya as a supporter of their philosophy.
Although none of their scriptures are fully available to us now, later Advaita scripture writers, including our own Shankaracharya, have quoted them."
"So, in the very beginning, there was a stage where only the Vedic religion existed everywhere; then, a stage where new religions arose here and there; then, a stage where these religions faded away, and only Christianity, Islam, and Buddhism spread everywhere; after this, in a period well-established in history, the influence of Hindu civilization, as I mentioned, flourished with great vitality in many countries—especially in the Eastern countries. It was during this period that large temples like Angkor Wat, Borobudur, and Prambanan were built there. It was during this period that our Thiruppavai and Thiruvempavai also reached Siam—which is now called Thailand." What does it mean if our religious symbols are found even in the religions of tribes considered to be prehistoric? It doesn't seem plausible that people from India invaded or traveled for trade to such distant lands, where civilized life hadn't even developed, and spread our civilization so long ago! That's why I think, 'It wasn't taken from here and introduced there; originally, the Vedic religion must have existed throughout the world.' Then, over time, these religions transformed and became what are now considered the 'original' religions of those respective countries, and later, Christianity, Buddhism, and Islam, which fall within the historical period, spread there.
Arunagirinathar...
"The transformed Veda, the learned one who understands philosophy, refined Tamil,
O beautiful Perumal (Subrahmanya) with red feet and anklets"
From the Melbourne Museum, Australia...
Umbrella, leather seat, rosary beads like Rudraksha... Artifacts of Australian Aboriginal priests...
The rosary has exactly 60 beads.
People who chanted the Pranava mantra or the Shiva Panchakshara mantra every second have existed from Russia to Australia.
Dravidian languages (from the Middle East to Australia) have Shaivite practices (white clothing, Rudraksha rosary, wearing ash/sacred ash).
Just as we go to Kailash, Kashi, and Sabarimala, Australian Aborigines have been going to a mountain called Uluru (local) for 40,000 years.
In the Middle East and Russia, they worshipped the fire god.
The Rig Veda existed in Russia. The Russian name Gorky is a Gotra name in India. There are many such similarities.
Native Americans in North America worshipped in the form of a Lingam and as Shasta (armed deity). The inhabitants of the Pacific Islands worship volcanoes as gods, just like us. The Native Americans in North America do the same.
The way Native Americans worshipped the directions and the sky closely resembles the Panchayatana method. They assign the same colors (white, dark blue, blue, red, and golden green/yellow) to the directions as mentioned in the Sri Rudram.
Therefore, not only from the Volga to the Ganges (Rahul Sankrityayan, for some reason, stopped at the Ganges!), but if studied intelligently, from the Yarra River in Melbourne (Yarra is a variation of the word for river), from North America to the Pacific Islands, Advaita Shaivism was widespread.
Mahendravarman Pallava, Mamalla, Rajaraja (Shivapada Sekaran / Rajaraja), and Rajendra worked to bring Advaita Siddhanta Shaivism back to the entire world.
Hinduism, the primordial religion encompassing Agni, Shakti/Mother, Shiva/Jiva light/Primordial Father, and Shasta (as the armed one), holds the oldest spiritual/religious practices, teachings, and philosophy of humanity. We follow practices that are 40,000 to 200,000 years old. Despite all the scientific advancements, we have not tried to hide or deny our ancient way of life. It teaches this way because it deeply understands the profound nature of life. Other religions completely destroyed their old ways.
The word Sanatana refers to this. Today, they falsely claim that it is used to preserve class distinctions. Class, caste, ethnic, and linguistic differences came later. These existed and still exist in all continents. Only when the world of tomorrow transcends these divisions and understands the true meaning of the pure ancient Vedic religion will it be possible to prevent the destruction caused by divisions. The Sanatana Vedic religion does not say that everything is based solely on birth. But, learn from birth. Only through a change of mind and a change in lifestyle can one attain the purpose of birth. This is common to everyone.
If the above theology is false, then how did the 6 Rishis (excluding Atri), who were not Brahmins by birth, attain that state?
How did they attain liberation? Were Ambarisha, Vishwamitra, Satyakam Jabali, Nandanar, and many others, all liars?
The conclusion of the Gita is that everyone can/should undergo a transformation in their mental and spiritual state through their character and actions.
That is also the conclusion of the Vedas and Vedanta.
Shivoham. Hari Om.
