Sanskrit is not an old language - the language that was actually old in North Indian continent was Prakrit and Pali languages. There is a huge amount confusion about Prakrit languages. There are 12 major North Indian languages 1, Apabhraṃśa (Prakrit); 2. Ardhamagadhi(Prakrit); 3. Dramili (oldest Prakrit); 4. Elu; 5. Gandhari; 6. Kamarupi; 7. Magadhi; 8. Maharashtri; 9. Paishachi; 10. Pali (also mentioned as Prakrit by some kingdoms); 11. Shauraseni; 12. Khasa. But each language is different and a few are referred as Prakrit language at different times especially the Dramili is the language used in the Ashoka edicts as Prakrit language which is the oldest written record for Pali and Prakrit. Ancient India had used Pali and Prakrit languages in Jainism and Buddhism literatures. Sanskrit is a new language that was created by refining, merging and choosing grammar and verbiage of all these 12 major languages- that’s why there is no record of written Sanskrit in ancient monuments or Jainism and Pali literature which were the oldest regions of Ancient India. Hence the claim to Sanskrits to be old is not proven because of this and even Rig Veda is first written down in 14th century AD and all claims are only verbal and they wrongly point to the written literature records of Prakrit or Pali languages as Sanskrit. Hindi is formed much later by choosing the largest spoken dialect of Prakrit in the present day Uttar Pradesh. So it very clear that anything written in Sanskrit is newly written literature after Sanskrit was formed.

Bha + Ra + Tha = Bhava (emotion) + Raga (music) + Thala (Rythm). something like life is rhythmic music of emotions. rythms are same pattern in daily life like same pattern in a music which stimulates emotion. that's the conclusion from pure consciousness perspective which is independent from worldly maya. again pointing towards your true self enlightenment.

Rajahnate of Cebu(The Last Chola): Chola Expedition Philippines: Around 14th century descendants of Tamil king Raja Raja Chola, Sri Lumay, was sent to Cebu(Philippines) to prepare the base for the expeditionary forces of the Cholas of Sumatra(Indonesia)instead he established the Rajhanate of Cebu in the island. In April 27, 1521 in the "Battle of Mactan" chieftain "Lapu-Lapu(Cilapulapu)" and his warriors defeated Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan and delayed the Spanish occupation. The Rajahnate itself folded in 1565 when the last King, Sri Tupas or Felipe Tupas, cousin of Rajah Humabon was defeated by another Spanish navigator, Miguel López de Legazpi’s soldiers in April 27, 1565 and subsequently signed the Treaty of Cebu, heralding the end of the Great Cholas, one of the longest ruling dynasties in the world(200BC - 1565AD). Sri Rajahmura Lumaya, known in his shortened name Sri Lumay, was the first Rajah and the founder of the Indianized Rajahnate of Cebu. According to the epic Aginid, Bayok sa atong Tawarik,a Bisayan epic story, Sri Lumay was a half-Tamil and half Malay minor prince of the Chola dynasty in Sumatra. Sri Lumay was the grandfather of Rajah Humabon. Rajah Humabon Chola was the first filipino chieftain to embrace Christianity from Hinduism. He was the grandson of Sri Lumay Chola the first Rajah and the founder of the Indianized Rajahnate of Cebu. Sri Lumay fought the Magalos or destroyers of peace , this is a Muslim Moro warriors who come from Mindanao, they had been raiding the island of Cebu in search for precious item like gold or ceramics and slaves. When Ferdinand Magellan landed on Cebu on Sunday, April 7, 1521, Rajah Humabon made a blood compact with Magellan as a symbol of their new found friendship. Captivated by its noble teachings, Rajah Humabon Chola was converted into Christianity. On Tamil new year, April 14, 1521, Humabon and his wife, Humamai and about 800 Cebuano's were baptized. Humabon was given the name Carlos in honor of King Charles V of Spain and his wife Queen Juana after King Charle's mother. This conversion wiped out Islamic domination in the Philippine Islands.

This allowed the people of the Philippine islands to retain their spiritual sovereignty while adapting or adopting what they felt were good or useful. It contrasts heavily with the monotheisms which consigned all non-conforming practices as evil or illegitimate. Filipinos are a wonderful people and their country is beautiful.

The second is regarding the inscription "Laguna". The inscriptions are not from the Chola dynasty or mention someone from the Chola dynasty. The inscription clearly mentions royal officials from the Medang kingdom in Central Java, besides that it is impossible for someone from the Chola dynasty to make an inscription using Old Malay language and Kawi script, because they have their own language and script.Finally regarding the Agusan statue, iconographically the statue shows the characteristics of the Goddess Tara, and has the influence of the art style of the Sailedra statue, not Gupta, because 9-10 century AD, Gupta art style statues are no longer in use, the Gupta art style flourished in the early AD period.

And especially as India finally regains its economic status, that people in SE Asia will also once again look to India not as a basket case but as a model, the way it was for so long, before the Islamic and European colonizations.

Orginal name for India is Bharat, Asian belief system was nature worship and ancestor worship, which was also important part of Hindus hence it was was easier for different cultures to mix with eachother. As Hindu culture did not believe in destroying native identities and culture , instead merged with it. Hence be it in Japan, or China or South East Asia, we all are connected with heritage. That's why Indian kingdoms never invaded to expand culture or religion or forced conversions. Infact Hindu school of thought encouraged growth of new philosophies. Buddhism, Jainism, Sikhism, and many more are considered part of larger hindu family even charvaka (a hindu philosophy similar to atheist concept) was also part of Hindu school. FYI its not caste system its varna(class) system which was used by ancient kings to classify the population to govern efficiently. Later colonial powers forced the concept of caste(a Latin word) and turned class into racial profiling and totally destroyed fabric of harmony among different classes of Hindu and still effects Indians today.

Sanskrit is not an old language - the language that was actually old in North Indian continent was Prakrit and Pali languages. There is a huge amount confusion about Prakrit languages. There are 12 major North Indian languages 1, Apabhraṃśa (Prakrit); 2. Ardhamagadhi(Prakrit); 3. Dramili (oldest Prakrit); 4. Elu; 5. Gandhari; 6. Kamarupi; 7. Magadhi; 8. Maharashtri; 9. Paishachi; 10. Pali (also mentioned as Prakrit by some kingdoms); 11. Shauraseni; 12. Khasa. But each language is different and a few are referred as Prakrit language at different times especially the Dramili is the language used in the Ashoka edicts as Prakrit language which is the oldest written record for Pali and Prakrit. Ancient India had used Pali and Prakrit languages in Jainism and Buddhism literatures. Sanskrit is a new language that was created by refining, merging and choosing grammar and verbiage of all these 12 major languages- that’s why there is no record of written Sanskrit in ancient monuments or Jainism and Pali literature which were the oldest regions of Ancient India. Hence the claim to Sanskrits to be old is not proven because of this and even Rig Veda is first written down in 14th century AD and all claims are only verbal and they wrongly point to the written literature records of Prakrit or Pali languages as Sanskrit. Hindi is formed much later by choosing the largest spoken dialect of Prakrit in the present day Uttar Pradesh. So it very clear that anything written in Sanskrit is newly written literature after Sanskrit was formed.

I would say that the biggest influencer on South East Asia was the Pala Empire which controlled Bihar, Bengal and Odisha. The influence of the Pala Empire was much more than the Chola Empire. The Pala Empire continued the Gupta Empire legacy of spreading Hinduism and Buddhism in South East Asia. The Wat Temples of Myanmar and Thailand are clearly based on the Pala Empire temples like Vikramashila Mahavihara and Somapura Mahavihara. The Gupta Empire influence on South East Asia is also highly underrated; there is evidence to suggest that numerous kingdoms in Java and Sumatra paid tribute to the Gupta Empire, and the Gupta Empire even controlled parts of Myanmar. The Pallava Kingdom also exerted a lot of political influence, particularly on the Cham of Vietnam. The merchants of Bengal, Odisha, Andhra and Tamil Nadu played the biggest role in the Indianization of South East Asia.

Kaladi Inscription: People of ariyan dravidian pandhya kling shinghala, Khmer Mon Cham, and hunjeman (Arab Persian Rom merchants) are foreigners. They must pay foreigners tax as workers or traders. They aren't allowed to live in city or village, just in a port. Indianize use sanskrit for hinduism and budhism just like arab use Arabic for Islams and western use english for christianity. Base kaladi inscription 906 ce. There are rules system like country, immigration, custome, etc. In Southeast asia (especially in Java) Same as rules system in modern era. 😎 And about Sri lumay.

Chariot of emotions (Bhava + Rath = Emotion + chariot). it perfectly defines what the journey of life is. emotion is mind and chariot is body. to go beyond life you have to go beyond mind and body to master it. this word contains enlightenment. 2. Bha + Ra + Tha = Bhava (emotion) + Raga (music) + Thala (Rythm). something like life is rhythmic music of emotions. rythms are same pattern in daily life like same pattern in a music which stimulates emotion. that's the conclusion from pure consciousness perspective which is independent from worldly maya. again pointing towards your true self enlightenment.

If you searching at google inscription with Keyword: 'Early Javanese Inscription" . You will found tons of them. FYI 16.000 manuscript written in Kawi stored in the Dutch Leiden museum, and about 10.000 still in Indonesian Museum. Plus : PAMGAT/PAMEGAT is a Job Title same as A JUDGE (in present Day). Come from word : PEGAT mean Decide, and get prefix PA mean someone/somebody, So PAMEGAT literaly mean Someone who decide a case, the Decider or also known in present day as A Judge. You can only found this Job title(PAMEGAT) in Medang Kingdom located in Central Java (Indonesia)
