Kanthallur Salai

The salais were institutions of higher education associated with temples (Kanthallur salai, Parthivapuram salai, Thiruvalla salai, Moozhikkulam salai etc.). Established by the Ay kings, they followed gurukula system (students living in proximity to the teacher) Though the royalty provided free food, clothing and accommodation to the students, the administration of salas were mostly autonomous.

Known as 'Dakshina Nalanda', Kanthallur salai is believed to have been founded by the Ay king Karunthadakan (857-885 AD). Later, this salai gained world fame as a center of learning. Students from foreign countries like Sri Lanka too came to Kanthallur salai for higher studies. This mahashala provided training in multiple branches of knowledge including martial arts. What set Kanthalloor apart from other ancient Indian universities of that era was the diversity in the subjects it offered. In Kanthalloor, students were taught subjects such as atheism which were considered taboo in other universities.

There are conflicting opinions about the exact location of Kanthallur salai. KV Subramania Iyer speculated that Kanthallur salai may have been located in a village called Kanthallur, seven miles from Neyyatinkara in present-day Thiruvananthapuram district. T. Gopinatha Rao quotes records dating back to the 9th century which refer to the deity in present day Valiyashala as Kanthallur Chalai Mahadeva.

Kanthalur salai appears repeatedly in the Chola inscriptions. There are several references to Kanthallur salai in Rajarajan's inscriptions about the attacks on Ay, Mahodayapuram and Mooshika kingdoms. It is thought that Ay rajas have become the vasals of Pandyas by that time. His inscription from the 4th year of his reign mentions 'Kanthalur Salai kalamaruthu aruli'. In fact, this is his first achievement listed in the chronology of events. Rajarajan was obviously very proud of this achievement.

Since 'kalamaruthu' can have many connotations, there were arguments that this means that the ships at Kanthallur were destroyed or that only the free food distribution for the students was stopped.

However in 2009, a hero-stone (veerakkal) belonging to the reign of Rajarajan was unearthed. It has a eulogy in Tamil that talks about the king “beheading the Malai Alargal (chera warriors)”, settling the long-standing debate about what he did at Kanthallur Salai. It is evident that Cholas destroyed the salai, annexed the port of Vizhinjam and killed the warriors. The salai is mentioned in the records of his successors too, showing multiple Chola invasions across generations.

Later, Vizhinjam was renamed as Rajendrachola Pattanam. Due to the incessant attacks of Cholas, the importance of Vizhinjam port and Kanthalloor Salai (if it survived Rajarajan's attacks in the first place) gradually deteriorated. Between the 10th and the 12th centuries Kanthalloor Salai and the port of Vizhinjam, were completely destroyed in war.

=======

In my upcoming fanfiction about Ravidasan, he and Parameshwaran will be Kanthallur Salai alumni and they will send little Amarabhujangan for higher education in this place.

In historical inscriptions, his name is Ravidasan Panchavan Brahmadhirajan. Brahma arayan/Brahmadhi rajan were titles given to high class Brahmin officials in administration and military. Another person of similar status mentioned in the novel is the Prime Minister of the Chola Kingdom, Aniruddha Brahmarayar.

The above picture is purely for aesthetic purposes.

Why Ancient Indian Literatures are Extinct today?

Ancient Indian Literatures were high even before few hundred years ago but now except few university courses under UGC India and some foreign enthusiasts in University of Michigan or University of Heidelberg etc, general students avoid reading those old articles.

Argument of this topic is why Indian students or their parents are not suggesting Indian Ancient History or Ancient literature as a career in today’s world?

If we go back to those beautiful pastimes of Indian education, from 3600 plus years ago, almost all great courses in Art, Literature, Science, Philosophy etc, were being taught only in Indian Universities.

Taxila or Takshashila University

Mithila University

Telhara University

Sharada Peeth Temple University

Nalanda University

Vallabhi University

Pushpagiri University

Odantapuri University

Vikramshila University

Sompura University

Bikrampur University

Morena Golden Triangle University

Kanthalloor Sala University

Jagaddala University and so on…

Some Indian scholars in Mathematics were Aryabhatta, Baudhayan, Brahmgupta, Bhaskaracharya, Mahaviracharya. Some famous scientists were Kanaad, Varahamihir, Nagarjuna. Medical Science was also highly developed in ancient India. It is hard to name all of them. Based on my minor research I have only few names as below.

“Sushruta Samahita” on Principles of Surgery and Medicine – by Sushruta, 100 BCE.

“Aryabhattiyam” on Principles of Astrophysics - by Aryabhatta, 476 CE

“Artha Sasthra” on Commerce & Business Administrations – by Chanakya, 375 BCE

“Pancha Sidhanta” on Treatises on Astronomy – by Varahamihir, 505 CE

“Patanjalayoga Sastra” on Principles of Yoga – by Patanjali, 2BCE

“Charaka Samahita” on Principles of Aayurveda – by Charaka, 200 BCE

“Rasendra Mangalam” on Science of Alchemy – by Nagarjuna, 150 CE

“Vaiseshik Dashan” on Principles of Atomic Theory – by Kanaad, 6 BCE

“MahajyanayanaPrakara” on Principles of Calculus – by Madhava, 1340 CE

When ancient Indian sages discovered that the great details on Mathematics, Physics, Biology, Philosophy, Astronomy, Health, Linguistics etc., were all there in Vedas which were that time in the form of “Shruti” which were only in the form of “what was being heard” from early Sages, they converted them into “Smriti” which were nothing but story telling or narrations of Vedas. This is to make things easy for the readers with more explanations on each branch of studies. Also, to make Vedas easy for the readers, ancient sages have concluded almost all details in texts distinguishing each part of Vedas (they are – Samahitas , Aranyakas and Brahmanas) for easy understanding.

Those great maestros (ancient Sages) not only have left these great treasures for the future generations but also tried in multiple ways to distribute that precious knowledge into various education systems in terms of texts, narrations, debate, explanations from past times (The Puranas) and conclusions (The Siddhantas) through help of Kings.

It is on us to consider this premium knowledge still available in various forms or reject it and again keep hunting for the remakes in more cosmetic and customized way. The irony of remakes is most of times the core values and ideologies would dissolve in versions.

Happy Reading….
