Arya Chakravarti’s Brahmin origin
Before continuing with C S Navartnam’s pages to show Brahmin’s role in Sri Lanka, I want to add what Mudaliyar C Rasanayagam says in his book ANCIENT JAFFNA (Year 1926).
He says that Arya Chakravarti Dynasty which ruled Northern Sri Lanka for 400 years had Brahminical origin. They were the one who established Hindu Samrajya in Sri Lanka like Shivaji in India. But the great Vijayanagara Hindu Empire and Veera Sivaji’s Hindu Samrajya wiped out Muslim invaders; in Sri Lanka it was quite opposite; Portuguese, Dutch (Holland) and British demolished all Hindu Temples and converted a lot of Hindus after killing the last Arya Chakravarti. They were Christian fanatics. Then Hindu Renaissance happened in the nineteenth century and Saivite saint Arumuga Navalar and Tamil Nagarathar Chettiyars helped to re construct Hindu temples.
Arya Chakravarti has two Sanskrit words. This Arya has nothing to do with the wrong interpretation of Max Muller gang. They said that Aryans came from outside India. But Tamil and Sanskrit scriptures never gave an ethnic connotation to the word or attributed outside origin. They used ARYA for Himalayan saints, speakers of refined language, and civilized and cultured people in general.
Rasanayagam says there was another Malava Chakravarti as commander and this Arya Chakravarti was a minister cum commander in Rameswaram. At that time, that is 800 years ago, Rameswaram was under Sri Lankan kings. Interpreting an inscription at Tiruppullani near Rameswaram, he said that this Arya Chakravarti married a Kalinga princess living in Jaffna. His descendants were called Arya Chakravarti and he used both her and his royal titles and symbols. Singai Aryan or a handicapped king known as Koolangai Chakravarti was the first king.
First let me give Rasanayakam’s page and then continue with Navaratnam pages:
