Tamil poet cum Miracle boy Thiru Gnana Sambandar (600 CE) was a Brahmin born in Tamil Nadu and lived only for Sixteen years. Like Adi Shankara he changed the religious picture of Tamil Nadu. Politically oriented violent Jains occupied Tamil Land for 300 years immediately after the Sangam Tamil age. A lot of unsolved mysteries belong to that period. It is called the dark period in Tamil History
Sambandar did lot of miracles. He composed poems from the age of three. Thousands of his poems are lost but Tamils are fortunate enough to have about 3000 of his verses.
Pink for Women , Blue for Men; Women are from Venus and Men are from Mars
These slogans or sayings are common in the Western world. They are in fact Hindu thoughts.
Sambandar was the first one to tell the world,
ODD NUMBERS ARE WOMEN, EVEN NUMBERS ARE MEN.
Mars is associated with Hindu War God Subrahmanya. Tamil and Sanskrit literatures say this. Venus is associated with planet Venus, Sex and Goddess. In Tamil Friday is called Venus day. Tamil word VELLI means Friday, Silver, and planet Venus. If Venus is in a weak position in one’s horoscope that person will have sex problems.
If you look at the saying Blue for Men and Pink for Women which is followed in most of the school uniforms till this day in the western world, that is also a Hindu concept. Lord Krishna means Black; but it is not Crow black; it is bluish black according to Sanskrit hymns; he is called NEELA megha (cloud) Shyamala varna. Neela is blue which is even in Egyptian river NEELA=Nile.
Lord Shiva is also called Mr BLUE neck. He has bluish poison in his throat. That is why male boys have the name NEELA kantan.
Odd numbers and Even numbers
Sambandar’s help to revive Hindu worship was sought by Pandya queen Mangaiyarkarasi and Pandya minister Kulachiraiyar. Sambadar agreed and travelled to Madurai in Pearl Studded Palanquin 1400 years ago. Politically oriented violent Jains smelt trouble; they reported to the Pandya king, who was converted to Jainism, about Sambandar’s visit to Madurai. Jains told him that they can set fire to the Mutt (ashram) where he was staying; king agreed to that as well.
When the Jains set fire to the place where he was staying , he (Sambandar) ordered the Fire (god) to go to Pandyaa king slowly. When Fire (god) migrated to Pandya’s stomach he got unbearable hot fever. His wife Mangaiyarkarasi told her husband/king , Sambandar could cure him , and he agreed. In the meantime Jain politicians also came forward to cure him but in vain. When Sambandar took his holy ash (Vibhuti) to smear on the stomach of the king, Jains objected to it saying it may be out of voodoo magic. Then Sambndar said, please bring some ash from the oven. He used it by singing a Tamil hymn in praise of holy ash of lord Shiva and the king got immediate relief. Then the Jains challenged him to prove his worth in Fire Contest and Water Contest. Sambandar won both the contests, and the Jains self -impaled themselves in stakes and died.
When Sambandar praised both the queen and the minister in 11 verses, he used all the ODD NUMBERED verses to the queen and all the EVEN NUMBERED verses for the Minister(male) . Like colour coding , he used the number coding. This verse is part of the Third Thirumurai (Tevaram book.)
Perhaps the world followed Sambandar and allocated mars and blue to men.
There is an encyclopaedic information in the Thevaram hymns sung by three great Tamil poets. One can read about from Astronomy to Zoology in those verses.
