Hope you have all gone through the blog recording our dear Dhiwakar Sir.
For those who joined recently in our Group ::
Dhiwakar of Vizag is a key personality in Vizag Tamil Sangam. Coordinator with Indian Tamil Sangams. Heading his business firm.
Has written and published VAMSADHARA ( Re Kalinga Dynasty) - THIRUMALAI THIRUDAN ( Re Balaji - Sangu Chakram ) - VICHITRA CHITHAN (RE Mahendra I) - EMDEN ( Re the Spyship - though the storyline is early 20th Century - he mixed some rare events related to Rajaraja's last days too) and his BLOG is well read in the Literary Circles.
Dr. Nagaswamy is NOT new to us. We have been often quoting his works from his link tamil arts academy - more visible through msn.com. His CONCEPT OF SPACE re the Big Temple is widely quoted and we are made to know that it is AKASALINGAM concept which prevails in the Bigtemple Thanjavur.
We have been taking efforts to incorporate these in the website thebigtemple.com in coordination with London Dr. Sridhar - Vijay veerasamy - Thirumalai Veerasamy and other friends.
In the Blog - Dhivakar has written about his experience Dr. Nagaswamy and our dear Vijay was also present in CBT Tamil (Chemmozhi) conference. They both presented research papers. our dear Gokul also presented a research paper.
In this particular - Dhiwakar shares some vital information.
Information re the COPPER PLATES found near Mayiladuthurai - INDHALUR - recently (about 2 / 3 months back) now known as INDHALUR COPPER PLATES !!
THESE PLATES ARE EXHIBITED IN THE CBT TAMIL CONFERENCE by the State Government - Archeology Deptt and as Former Head of the Dept, Dr. RN did share some vital information which are furnished as enlisted by Dhivakar:
* These Copper Plates deal with the period of 1053 - 1062. After the demise of Rajendra I - his eldest son was killed in Koppam Battle field. ( I personally recall the excitement in Dr. RN's voice when narrated these :: Trs declared Second Rajendra - that he would be carrying on the War and proclaimed himself as the King of Cholas in the Battle Field itself ! ) This information is already known to History. But reconfirmed in this Copper Plate again.
* Rajendra I had been advising his 4 sons to remain united and protect the Kingdom.
that Thanjavur was conquered from the Mutharayas by Vijayalaya. This Copper plate clarifies that Thanjavur was conquered from the Pallava King Kabavarman !!
* Manickavasagar is definitely not later than 10th Century !!
such treasures of informations are studded in the Blog by Vizag Dhivakar along with their ( Vijay - Dhivakar - Dr. RN) temple visit to Porur. Recall - the rare Sculptures in Porur temple are protected with acrylic sheets after Vijay's observation in his blog poetry in stone !!
Now it should be further interesting to know that some the speculations made by Vizag Dhivakar in his famous Fiction VAMSADHARA are precisely more confirmed in these Copper plates !!
Amazing !!
hearty Congrats dear Dhivakar !!
yah.. hearty Congrats dear Vijay !! - though you should have got fed up of hearing this so frequently of late !!
