sangath thamizh sudharsaNar
 
The most outstanding contribution of sri sudarsaNar,inter-alia, is his  quotes from of ancient tamil lieterature, time and agian. The last few decades has witnessed false propoganda of ancient tamil lieterature. thol-kAppiyam, silappadhigAram and other sangath thamizh works unequivocally mention and proclaim sreman nArAyaNa as the supreme Lord and His attributes are stated incisively therein.
 
These arguments were put forth by sri krishNaswAmy iyengar to break the bubble and the misconception. That this had done in a state where the population was tilted against this and certain politically influenced pontiffs were having their hey day unabashedly and unabatedly, is the most commendable aspect.
 
The ten unique attributes of 'thriumAl' -the supreme Lord are:
 
1. Creation, sustenance and destroyal of the worlds.-paDaithu,kAthu, azhithal.
2. The Lord who knows everything;
3. Who can  do everything -omni-potence.
4.Who can be at all places at all times -omni-presence;
5.The Lord who can grant release from births and deaths -salvation.
6.Who is full of auspicious qualities and bereft of any bad qualities.--kalyAna guNangaL.
7.Who cannot be perceived precisely by anybody.
8.Who does not have any equal and anybody above Him.
9.Who is a natural relationship to jEvAthmAs.
10.All the above attributes are possessed by 'thriumAl' only.
 
These ten unique attributes are logically determined with the help of ancient tamil literatue like pari-pADal. 
 
The geographical divisions in the ancient tamil literature is made as
 1. mullai 2. marudham 3. kurinji  4 neidhal and 5. pAlai.
For each 'nilam' each deities are attributed. However, 
 
Sri puthUr kirshNaswAmy iyengar swAmy thus meticulously goes on to prove this asepct from ancient tamil literature, some of which we shall see in the next posting.
