History is the study of the human past as it is described in written documents left behind by humans. The past, with all of its complicated choices and events, participants dead and history told, is what the general public perceives to be the immutable bedrock on which historians and archaeologists stand.

But as purveyors (a person who sells or deals in particular goods.) of the past, historians recognize that the bedrock is really quicksand, that bits of each story are yet untold, and that what has been told is colored by the conditions of today. While not untrue to say that history is the study of the past, here is a collection of much more clear and accurate descriptions.

There are several myths converted into facts by the Christian Historians, to make believe a poor common reader who is in fact a parasite depending on the Occidents.

As a concrete example let us take the case of Mylapore Temple which was then on the sea shore of Mylapore. There is a reference to the temple in Sangam literature of the 1st to 5th centuries and the earliest mention is found in the 6th century Tamil literature. The temple and the deity were immortalized in Tamil poetry in the works of Tevaram by poet saint belonging to the 7th century - Thirugnana Sambanthar. He had composed in 6th Poompavai pathigam in praise of the temple. Arunagirinathar, the 15th-century poet, sings praise of the temple in Tirumayilai Tirupugazh. The 12th-century poet, Gunaveera Pandithar sings about Neminathan under Theerthangar neminathar pugazh. Tirumayilai Prabanthangal is a compilation of four works on the temple and the deity.

    According to Christian leaders in India, the apostle Thomas came to India in 52 AD, founded the Syrian Christian Church, and was killed by the fanatical Brahmins in 72 AD. Near the site of his martyrdom, the St. Thomas Church was built. In fact this apostle never came to India. The Christian community in South India was founded by a merchant called Knai Thoma or Thomas of Cana in 345 AD — a name which readily explains the Thomas legend. He led four hundred refugees who fled persecution in Persia and were given asylum by the Hindu authorities.

The real History written by genuine Indian Historians never found a single incident where the Brahmins as group or individually assaulted on any European, for that matter any foreigner. All these concoctions were made by Church Historians, Muslim Historians who were the henchmen of the then Sulthans and Nawabs and the Marxist ideologues.

In Catholic universities in Europe, the myth of the apostle Thomas going to India is no longer taught as history, but in India it is still considered useful. Even many vocal “secularists” who attack the Hindus for “relying on myth” in the Ayodhya affair, off-hand profess their belief in the Thomas myth. The important point is that Thomas can be upheld as a martyr and the Brahmins decried as fanatics.

Dr. Coenraad Elst who studied under Jesuits at Katholieke Universiteit in Belgium, Europe’s oldest Catholic university at Leuven, is in a position to say with authority that the St. Thomas in India tale today is a fraud on the people of India by crafty, untruthful Catholic priests who make their living by fooling the faithful.

The Mylapore temple, originally situated at the sea shore, brutally subjected to vandalism and the massacre of Brahmins by the fanatic Christian solders with the master minds of Christian clergy can be read in the 24-chapter essay contained in 'The Myth of Saint Thomas and the Mylapore Shiva Temple' by Ishwar Sharan.

No one knows how many Hindu priests and worshipers were killed when the Christian soldiers came to remove the curse of Paganism from the Mylapore beach. Hinduism does not practice martyr-mongering, but if at all we have to speak of martyrs in this context, the title goes to these Jina- and Shiva-worshipers and not to the apostle Thomas.

Swasthi.
