KINGDOM OF SITHTHARS

I do not know the exact Tamil word for ‘Samudrika Lakshanam’. So I begin the post with this name itself. If somebody knows it let me know.

I have found very old books about samudrika lakshanam or the anga lakshanam in Sanskrit, Tamil and Telugu. Among them I am going to just share the information that the Siththars have shared in their songs in Tamil.

The modern science says that the characteristics of human depend on their genes. It has been proved from various researches that one’s look, nature, character are decided by the genes. Our ancestors have told the same as, “The beauty of mind is shown on the face”.

Most of them consider that the samudrika lakshanam is related to the astrology. As per the ancient Tamilians, that has been a custom followed in their daily life style. The art, samudrika lakshanam, has been in practice in every aspect from birth till death. The growth and the changes that take place in the body throughout the human life were said by the Siththars very clearly in their songs.

I found much information related to this anga lakshanam in the songs of Agathiyar, Theraiyar and Bogar. They have told for both men and women. They say that one’s physical appearance decides one’s nature

and their effects. I believe that they might have seen many people and verified with them. Then only they must have written this.

By making further discussions and search on the information that we gathered, we can know more about this. In my point of view I feel that this is mostly used at the times of marriage, birth of a baby and in identifying the symptoms of a disease.

We shall see about this art which has been vanished almost from the practice.

We cannot wind up the information about the Sathuragiri Mountain in just 24 posts. All the information that I shared so far has to be considered as an introduction only.

There is an opinion that the Sathuragiri Mountain is a land of secrets and the supernatural things. The attraction towards the unbelievable stories about the Sathuragiri Mountain from the puranas have hidden the real greatness of the mountain.

The discoveries of the great people who have spent all their life in researches and clarifications have been documented in the Tamil of their period itself. My interest is to document all those in current Tamil. At this point of time, I wanted to give an introduction about the Sathuragiri Mountain and hence I wrote these series about Sathuragiri Mountain. I strongly believe that I have did my job sincerely.

I started writing this post with hesitation only. Since it is a place which I have never seen before and so it was little tough to write. All the posts that have been documented so far are written for commercial factors only in the heart warming mood. I have told about it in the initial posts.

Most of the information about the Sathuragiri Mountain in the web is the experiences of the journey of an individual only. The only chance I have is the songs of the Siththars. The search of the songs about the Sathuragiri Mountain from the songs of Siththars is like searching for a lost pin in a grand festival. All these are not possible in one day. It is the collection of my study since ten years.

Initially my worry was that if all these information would match to the present day’s situation. But the friends who wrote on the comments and those sent emails said that all the information is honest and that brought me eagerness and interest to proceed further. So I wish to thank all the friends who encouraged me.

There is so much of information left out to share about the Sathuragiri Mountain. It requires the effort of one lifetime. Definitely an individual cannot do it. All those who are interested can unite and do.

I believe that the right way is not to just collect the information but to collect and compare them with other factors. So that it improves the trustworthiness of the research and then proceeding will be the proper way. With the information that I have shared so far, anybody can proceed to the further steps. If I have the blessings of the guru even I shall make attempts to do such researches in future.

Share this information with your friends who are interested. This will help in collecting all the information about the Siththars together. If we are able to collect all the informations about the Siththars and gather them as single one, so that it would cause benefit to the future generation.

With the completion of the introduction about the Sathuragiri Mountain, I shall start writing about each one of them in detail after a period of time. I thank for the continuous encouragement and support.

What do you think about samudrika lakshanam? Is it true? What did the Siththars tell about this?

Yes, the next post is about this only.
