1. Vēḷāṅkaṇṇi is a Christian pilgrimage site—that is what most of us have been led to believe. We may however be surprised to learn about its Śaiva origins. Read more. #MissionaryMafia -2 ‘Kaṇṇi’ in Tamil means ‘she who has beautiful eyes’. @jayasartn @Bharathgyan
2. ‘Vēḷāṅkaṇṇi’ is etymologically derived from the old name ‘Vēlana-kaṇṇi’—a name by which Ambikā is known in the Dēvāram, owing to her eyes appearing like a spear-head (vēl = spear) eyes, she is also known as vēlaṉa-kaṇṇi.
3. About 10KM south of Veḷāṅkaṇṇi basilica, there is a town called ‘Karuṅkaṇṇi’ ( black-eyed”). Tamil poem praises Parvati as Velinertaru Kanni, Iru-malar-kaṇṇi , aṅgayaṟkaṇṇi (Meenakshi), maiyar-kanni, Kāvyaṅkaṇṇi, Nīḷneḍuṅkaṇṇi, Vēlneḍuṅkaṇṇi, .etc.
4. All these names are influenced by Dēvāram, a Shaivite work. Duty of the king was to inscribe at least one or two poems on the marble boards in every Temple to demonstrate that the patika of the had an inseparable association. Vēḷāṅkaṇṇi is one such.
5. When Portuguese, Danish, & French invaded these shore sites, they destroyed several Hindu temple and built Christian churches there. The demolition of the Kapālīśwara temple, Chennai & Vedapurīśwara temple at Pondicherry are good examples of the level of Christian tolerance.
6. Wearing saffron robes, churches that resemble temple architecture, placing dhvaja sthamba in front of churches, deliberately using Sanskrit words like Vedāgamam, Suviseṣam, Agni, Abhiṣekam, flag hoisting, ratha yātras &other rituals are being appropriated to lure Hindus
7. Today Vēḷāṅkaṇṇi has been promoted and established as an extremely popular Christian pilgrimage site. But the questions that probe how it came to be a Christian site remain. Random stories are floating around such as how Velankanni Mary saved Vasco da Gama.
8. On one of these voyages up the Coromandel Coast the Portuguese were blown ashore in a storm, at a fishing village 12 km south of Nagapattinam. They declared that the Virgin Mary had saved them and in thanksgiving took over the local Velankanni Temple
9. But the fact is, Archeologists have found large number of pañcaloha idols buried here. In the Vēḷāṅkaṇṇi town, there is another śivālaya called Rajatagirīśvara. Whether this is an ancient temple or a recently rebuilt one is yet to be established.
10. Also, the original Devi temple was enclosed within the first Portuguese church, known as the Mada Koil (real VelanKanni), & Devi was on public display until some years ago, but has since replaced with Virgin Mary.
11. Now few questions for #Missionarymafia. It has been accepted by Christians that there is no basis 4 Mother Mary that are claimed to have occurred in Vēḷāṅkaṇṇi. If so, how did this church become ‘Lourdes of the East’? Why is Mary, not worshipped in other places 4 Health
12. Why did this site where many miracles are said to have occurred not gain the status of basilica until 1962? The miracles are claimed to be hundreds of years old, yet why did it not gain basilica status during British rule?
13. Even native Christian scholars like Henry Albert Krishna Piḷḷai, who wrote Rakṣaṇya Yātrikam, Māyūram Samuel Vedanāyakam Piḷḷai, etc., who lived just a century ago do not appear to have mentioned about Vēḷāṅkaṇṇi, nor British generals
14. Although large numbers of Christians congregate and worship at the Vēḷāṅkaṇṇi Church, no pope has visited here. Why?
Without the approval of the Holy See, how did this become a basilica? Does Biblical authority support
ostentatious rituals in worshipping Mary?
15. What archaeological studies have been conducted at this site? What happened to the panchaloga idols that have been unearthed here? Any dating conducted? Tamils, wakeup asap to this scam and recover our rights! Read more here..bharatabharati.wordpress.com/2016/09/06/whe…
Lets all pray for the truth from the real Velankanni! Bless! All the content of this thread belongs to the author of that blog post.

#MotherAndal abuser Vairamuthu thanks #Missionariymafia for introducing 'Education' to Indians!
#MotherSonia praiser @ShekharGupta thanks Nehru for introducing 'Science'!

Either they are joking or they are thinking we are fools!
India had a fantastic education system b4 these desert invaders stepped inside our land. Owing to large-scale destruction of libraries & academic institutions by invading armies in the 12 CE, our science was lost forever. But the surviving pvt collections tells us the greatness!
To me, the western science research only the observed and completely ignores the observer. But our Indian system, Vaisesika system (VS), considers mind & consciousness as a starting point. Kaṇāda (of VS) in his sutras enumerates real entities.

1/18 We were repeatedly told that Europeans came to India for trade while toning down their marauders' missionary objective in fear of politics. Worse, they were praised by the communist designed education system. We will unwind the true story through #ThiruchendurMurugan

Who is a Brahmin? Lord Buddha Defines in Dhammapada (Ch:26) as follows...

" O brahmin, strive and cleave the stream,
desires of sense discarded,
knowing conditioned things decay
be Knower-of-the-Uncreated"

Verse 383. Be A Knower Of The Deathless
"When by the twofold Dhamma
a Brahmin’s gone beyond
all the bonds of One-who-Knows
have wholly disappeared."

Verse 384. Cultivate Concentration
"For whom is found no near or far,
for whom’s no near or far,
free of fear and fetter-free,
that one I call a Brahmin True."

Verse 385. The Unfettered Person Is A Brahmana

1. What’s #Hospice? It’s a recent term coined by #MotherTeresa to serve dying & destitute without any proper medical investigation. Simply put, feed them without any medical aid till they die, even if they recover & serve the society. #StJosephHospice
2. #Hospice keeps patients against their will (read #kidnapping). They served us in their youth, worked in the farms to create crops, vegetables etc.. which we might have consumed. In-turn, our shameless society has no regard & leave them to die as destitute? #StJosephHospice
3. Having a #Hospice is understandable in a financially or medically challenged society. TN is lacking neither of that. Why do we need it? Above all, why a foreign church needs to fund & organize these kinds of activities? @PMOIndia and @CMOTamilNadu needs to answer

1/15 In today's thread I would like to focus on the grand Dravidian deceit on Tamil culture and Civilisation with the agenda to hide the Hindu identity of Tamil Nadu! Its about #Keeladi #Keezadi #Excavations
2. .How many of us do really know that #Keeladi , a recent panchayat, is originally identified as a part of another adjacent village #Kondhagai? This beautiful village has 2 temples. Archaeologists knew about this village and its ancient history for a very long time.
3. #Pandian King’s stone inscriptions of 12CE has been excavated which was gifted to #Brahmins as Kunthidevi Chaturvedi Mangalam. Adjacent to this is another urban settlement called Kunthadevi Chaturvedi Mangalam.
