manika vasagar is one big enigma. we dont know when he lived to my knowledge he hasnt mentioned the others and then the others havent mentioned him
why he was left out only emberumaan knows. till we get his era right, we will still be in the dark
i read a book on islam written by a local scholar. in that he claims since god came as an arab horsetrader , there must be a connection between islam and manickavasagar.
Dear Dhiwaker i will surely try to find out who classified the samaya kuravars as one entity. that should give one clue. manicka vasagar must have been around when there were buddhists to be his rivals and the pandyan king as the ruler.
"ulagelaam unarndhu odharku ariyavan.." ungalukku vazhikaattuvaaraagha... why do you say that budhdhist might be his rivals?? any mention of budhdhists in his life????
