The pranava mantra "OM" , this one letter mantra is as a dumb letter, says Konganavar.
Sivavaakkiyar says "one among the five letters" as a clue i.e., one letter from this five letter word 'na ma si vaa ya'.
Thirumoolar says that "Nayottu mantra namanai vellum" which means the mantra used to make the dog run away which wins the yama. How we make the dog run away?
"Sieei"....!
Yes, the one letter mantra told by the Siththars with the hidden meaning is the letter "Si".This is said as "Si" kaaram.
Why did Konganavar said that the "Si" is silent letter in the "OM" mantra?
The explanation for this is given in the following song by Sivavaakkiyar.
"அகாரம் என்னும் அகரத்தில் அவ்வு வந்துதித்ததா?
agaaram ennum agaraththil avvu vanthuthiththaa?
உகாரம் என்னும் அகரத்தில் உவ்வு வந்துதித்ததா?
ugaaram ennum agaraththil uvvu vanthuthiththaa?
அகரமும் உகாரமும் சிகாரமின்றி நின்றதா?
agaramum ugaaramum sigaaraminri ninrathaa?
விகாரமற்ற யோகிகள் விரிந்துரைக்க வேணுமே?
vigaaramatra yogikal virinthuraikka vaenumae?"
The agaaram "aah" , ugaaram "voo", sikaaram "Si" without this it ca not be united. Only yogi can explain how it could be possible. This information is being shared only through the gurus. This is also called as Guru's advice.
In the next post we shall meet with another useful information.
