@vjsbalaji @itisatp So if you go by the early sangam texts he is a purely Tamil deity from the Kurinji region. If you go by the puranic texts, he is skanda/kartikeya born in the north.

[Sandiren @Sandiren23]

@vjsbalaji @itisatp So now you two, separate spear wielding deities in two different traditions. As the two cultures syncretise to become one, a new deity emerges from the two but with differing origin stories.

[Sandiren @Sandiren23]

@vjsbalaji @itisatp During that later period, 100 ce onwards, independently you see the emergence of skanda/kartikeya in the north in some vedic texts, and takes more concrete form in later texts. So what we have of two separate characters.

[Sandiren @Sandiren23]

@vjsbalaji @itisatp There is no karthikeya in Tamil literature and by that I mean the early Sangam texts like Purananuru or Tolkappiyam, while Muruku(Murugan) and/or Seyon appear prominently. So in those texts you will not find the later puranic backstory - about before 300 bce to 100 ce. 1/2

@CodeByPoonam Not disputing these results but I found this alarming and will be sticking to ChatGPT for now...

[Sandiren @Sandiren23]

@thamizhlab Question - the deities mentioned in Tolkappiyyam - Seyon, Mayon, Kottravai - are these Hindu (Vedic) deities or pre-vedic? If they are pre-vedic, are they still classified as Hindu? What about Periyachi Amman, Kateri Amman?

For that matter is Murugan and Karthikeya the same?

@PKJugnauth @MauritiusPM Dear PM

To avoid the mass gatherings in supermarkets right now, suggest (i) have specific hours dedicated to 60+ verified through ID (ii) limit number of people inside at any one time e.g 20-30 (iii) people should wait in cars instead of queues
