Mamuni Mayan ( ''Māmuṉi'' meaning ''Brahmarishi Mayan'', ''Sangakala Sirpachithan Mamuni Mayan'', ''Mayamuni'', ''Mayendran'') is a culture hero character from Tamil Sangam literature (the Silappathikaram, Manimekalai, and Civaka Cintamani epics), identified with the asura Maya Dānava (''Mayasura'') of the Mahabharata,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Mahabharata, Book 2: Sabha Parva: Section I )〕 the mythical founder of Vastu Shastra. Romakapura (Sanskrit) (romaka hairy + pura city, fortified town ) City of hairy ones; in the Surya-Siddhanta (1:6; 12:39), is given as the birthplace of Asura maya. In 2004 V. G. Sthapati started construction of a "monument to Mayan" near Mamallapuram.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Vastu Vedic Trust | Vastu Vedic Trust )〕 Mamuni Mayan is credited with feats ranging from the composition of a primeval "Pranava Veda" to the construction of UFOs. In Tamil national mysticism, Mayans "Pranava Veda" is considered the original Tamil Veda, written some 10,000 years ago in Kumari Kandam, from which the Hindu Vedas are imperfect derivations. Mayan is credited with the authorship of the Mayamata Vastu Shastra as well as the ''Aintiram'' (''Aindra'', a school of grammar connected with the Tolkāppiyam). If there had been a grammatical treatise called ''Aintiram'', it has been lost, but a text called ''Mayan's Aintiram'' dealing with Vastu Shastra was published by Sthapati in 1986, with the support of C. Aranganayakam, Tamil Nadu minister of education, and again in 1997 by the "Vaastu Vedic Research Foundation" with English commentary by S. P. Sabarathnam. MayaAsura is credited with the Surya Siddhanta,〔Translation of the Surya Siddhanta into English, by Bhāskarācārya, Bapu Deva Sastri, Lancelot Wilkinson, ISBN 3-7648-1334-2, ISBN 978-3-7648-1334-5, http://www.wilbourhall.org/pdfs/suryaEnglish.pdf〕 The 29 September 2003 edition of the ''Deccan Herald'' had an article on Mayan by R.R.Karnik,
Some Tamil mysticists think that all of human culture is derived from the "Mayonic tradition", including that of mesoamerican Maya civilization. Intrigued by the homonymy, G. V. Sthapati visited Central America and "traveled throughout that region visiting ancient monuments and meeting with modern Mayan representatives." ==See also== *Kumari Kandam *Pure Tamil 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mamuni Mayan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
