Amidst the ongoing debate surrounding the preservation of Sanathana Dharma and the classification of Tamils as non-Sanathanis, it’s important to emphasize that Sanathana Dharma is deeply rooted in the Vedas, Velvis(Yajnas) Puranas, and Itihasas.
To illustrate this connection, I’ve compiled references to Vedas, Velvis(Yajnas) from some Tamil literatures:
Kings those days very well knew that only if Agriculture prospers the country prospers. All the kings brought in a lot of water harvesting plans, irrigation systems like man-made lakes & ponds. But Raja Raja Chozhan mastered the art of river management. Uyyakondaan and Keerthimaan are a few distributary channels that flow from large rivers during Raja Raja Chozhan’s rule. In places where there are no large rivers, man-made lakes were made.
Two major emperors from the Chozha kingdom include Raja Raja Chozhan and his son Rajendra Chozhan. Although the areas governed by Rajendra Chozhan were comparatively higher than his father Raja Raja Chozan, he laid the groundwork for this.
We briefly discussed Medieval Chozhas in the previous blog. We will see about one of the greatest kings the universe has ever produced. The great Arumozhi Varman alias Raja Raja Chozhan.
His first military expedition started in Kaandhalur Saalai, today’s Valiyasa near Thiruvananthapuram, the capital of Kerala. All the Chera soldiers practice for the war at Kaandhalur Saalai. He also destroyed all the naval ships of Cheras.
