AKji,

Good posts about the parochial nature of different hindu sects and their claim to be the mainstream hindu thought and the rest being deviations. But is their claims new at all ? (on a different note, did the word Hindu exists at all during those times?)

If you havent looked at Pathamji's website (I have posted it before), i am posting the link again. Not sure whether his leaning is completely in sync with Tamil Shaivism. His views may find some common grounds with the absence/lack of stress on varna/jati in tamil shaivism (though i am not sure), but Tamil saivism has a lot of puranas which directly diverges from Pathmaji's views on puranas and upavedas. It also played a great role in defeating Buddhism and Jainism in Southern India. Hauma or Sunder ji can throw more light on Tamil Saivism.

Or you may get a better inference from his site and the forum.

Pathma's website
(for me, this looks like vedanta with the shaivite prism. Please correct me)

Pathma's forum

Ideally Pathmaji should be answering your questions, but i tried to pinch in so that i can understand where he is coming from . Apologies if my attempt has added to the confusion and sorry for the thread diversion.
