Jainism ie 'Samanam' flourished in Tamil Nadu? French Institute of Pondicherry researched & documented 464 sites- hills,caves,temples,loose sculptures, rock shelters, inscriptions etc. It reflects historical, religious, artistic, culture, lifestyle of the Tamils KazhugumalaiMangulam inscription
2/4
The oldest stone inscription of India which was earlier known to be the Kharavel inscription of Orissa, which was jain, is no more the oldest.Oldest inscriptions are found in Tamil Nadu attributed to Jains again, of 3rd century BC. Such was the glory of Jin Dharma. 🙏🏻
3/4
Sangam Era was the Golden Era for Jainism. Many south indian dynasties like Early Chola, Pandya, Chera, & even Pallava etc patronised Samanam. After the rise of Shaivism & Vaishnavism and major conversions by Sambandar, Ramanajucharya, Shankaracharya etc Jainism was decimated
4/4 The ancient literary work of the Tamils 'Tirukural' is written by Jain monk,it's author Thiruvalluvar is associated with Jain Acharya Kund Kunda,some attribute it to his disciple due to the difference in time period. Unbiased Scholars & Hindus do acknowledge it as Jain work.
