Ananda Vikatan Celebrating "100th Episode of Veera Yoga
Nayagan Vel Paari" which is publishing every week in Ananda Vikatan
Magazine by Su Venkatesan. In this video, We comes to know about Complete
History of Tamil King Vel Pari (Pari Vallal). Tamil land was populated by
innumerable ethnic tribes since the beginning of history. The tribes fought
with each other, created an apocalypse and emerged as kingdoms. Then they
became empires. Even when the three empires — Cheras, Cholas and Pandiyas —
were formed, some ethnic tribes continued to exist. One of them — the Velirs,
in the Western Ghats (from Kumari to Konganam) — fiercely guarded their
identity and autonomy. There was a point when Tamil literature had references
to both, emperors and the leaders of the Velir tribe, putting them on an equal
standing. But this came to an end soon. The emperors vanquished the Velirs...
Pari stands as the tallest example of this battle and conflict of identities
between the ethnic Velirs and the feudal empires. He stands as the symbol of
the final battle between two civilisations. His life speaks to the brightest
part of history. Vel paari was of a dynasty of Yadu Vēlir kings who ruled
Parambu nadu and surrounding regions in ancient Tamilakkam towards the end of
the Sangam era. The name is often used to describe the most famous amongst
them, who was the patron and friend of poet Kapilar and is extolled for his
benevolence, patronage of art and literature. He is remembered as one of the
Kadai ēzhu vallal (literally meaning, the last seven great patrons) in Tamil
literature.
