KINGDOM OF SITHTHARS

Bogar, one of the Siththars amongst the eighteen Siththars, have attained jeeva samadhi* in Pazhani. Korakkar in his book "Chandra Raegai" has told that when and at what circumstance Bogar will take rebirth and he has also given the details.

"தடம் பெரிய தாரணியில் கலகம் மெத்த

- சந்திர ரேகை (Chandra raegai)

In the world at many places more fights, issues wars will occur as a result more number of people will die. As a result famine hits and sorrowful events will happen.  The poojas for god in the temple reduces, as a result the blessings of god also reduces. In that kind of situation Bogar promised that he will come back to the Earth.

Bogar who is living in a virtual body right now, when he comes to the earth in the form of a human, my samadhi (Korakkar's samadhi) will glow brightly and a jothi lingam will be eshtablished on its own, says Korakkar. Later it will reach to the public and since that day the people will leave with full of happiness. For the question that if it is possible, I do not have an answer. But this book of Korakkar is full of surprises for us.

If  we get this book fully, many of our questions could be answered I guess. Apart from Korakkar, we have got records that Agathiyar, Nandidevar, Sivanendhar, Veera Brahmendra Swami have also foretold. By the grace of guru if I get those informations I shall share them.

With this the series of the posts about the Chandra Raegai book comes to an end. In the next post we shall see another information.

Korakkar has explained about the entire kali yuga since the time of kali's birth to the time of his last breath in the book "Chandra Raegai". He has wrote about the society, politics, and the information about the character of the people.

"சின்னம் மிக ஆகிடுமே செகம் பிறந்து

- சந்திர ரேகை (Chandra Raegai)

He says that everything in the world changes and the people will keep fighting with each other all the time and destroying themselves. There will be a difference of opinions between the rulers. The people who pray to Siva and the people with religious thoughts will increase. 

"இன்றியமை யாதொரு இழிகுலத்தோர்

He also says that the people of lower community will get a great chance of living happily. There may be two chickens hatch in one single egg, and the animals may take birth with varied features. It will cause a great impact to the brahmins. He says that all these are the signs of the kali yuga.

He has also told about who will rule India in the kali yuga and all those details in the next post.

While cleaning my bookshelf I found a book which was almost torn out. The name was also not there but on reading out the rest of the pages in the book, I realised that it was a book written by Korakkar named "Chandra Raegai". That book was published in the year of 1826. I am not aware whether that book could be found now-a-days, if anybody know any information about it please let me know.

He has explained about the entire kali yuga since the time of our birth to the time of our last breath. Its surprising to see that he has already written about each and every thing that is going to happen to us.  I shall share some of the songs and their explanations that I preserved from this books in the upcoming posts.

In the Pramaathi year, chithirai month, friday, navami thithi on the day with the birth star 'moolam', " kambala kattan Vainava thaththan" in the backyard under the mast wood tree, the Kali was born says Korakkar and he begans to say about the kali yuga.

In the kali yuga, the differences of the religion, caste will increase and population wise the women will be more in number compared to men and the hunger for sex will increase and it will be rare to find atleast one person good  amongst the hundred. Also as the kali yuga keeps progressing the people's growth in terms of height will fall down and the number of the people who live for more than hundred years will decrease.

Considering the length of the post, I shall continue the rest in the next post.

As a sequence of the yoga mudras finally we shall see the details of the Suvakarana mudra.

Danvanthiri in his book "Danvanthiri Vaithiyam 1000" has wrote about the Suvakarana mudra in the following way.

- தன்வந்திரி வைத்தியம் 1000 (Danvanthiri Vaithiyam 1000)

Keep the Suvakarana mudra in both the hands and close the eyes, and through the mind's vision see the middle of the eyebrows and chant the "SAM" mantra in the mind and meditate. By doing this we may get the benefit that could be attained by chanting a ten crore number of mantras, all the customs, realise the supreme being.

All these yoga mudras are to be done in the early morning i.e., in the brahma muhurtham. On doing it this way the levels of the panjaboothas in the body remain constant. The benefits that we could attain by doing this cannot be counted. This will be more effective if we start practising under the guidance of the guru.

With this the Yoga mudra series comes to an end. In the next post we shall see another information.

In the functioning of the yoga mudra, the fingers are more important. Danvanthiri in his book "Danvanthiri Vaithiyam 1000" has wrote about the yoga mudra in the following way.

"முத்தியுள்ள கரத்தின் விரல் மகிமைதன்னை

- தன்வந்திரி வைத்தியம் 1000  (Danvanthiri Vaithiyam 1000)

I am telling the importance of the fingers, listen to it carefully. Saying this Danvanthiri begins to explain it in the following way.

The thumb finger is called as "Anguttam", the index finger is called as "Dharchinai", the middle finger is called as "Maththimai", the ring finger is called as "Anaamikai" and the little finger is called as "Kanuttikai". He says that one should know this and do.

He says that the thumb finger refers to fire, the index finger refers to wind, the middle finger refers to sky, the ring finger refers to the land, the little finger refers to water. He also says that one should know this and begin.

And this has to be performed in brahma muhurtham, sit straight in a clean and peaceful room and relax the body and place both the hands stretched on the thighs and pose the mudra and chant the mantras in the mind.

Also while beginnning to do these mudras,

"சித்தியுள்ள முத்திரைகள் ஆறுக்குந்தான்

The Siththars are the ones who made us realize that this world and our human body is composed of the panjappootham*. They have told it in another form also as "the one in the world is only present in our body also". 

A portion of human body is composed of a mixture of panjapoothas. These cannot be separated from the human body. The Siththars says that the yogic state could be attained only if their percentage levels are maintained constant. The percentage changes that occurs in those levels only causes the changes in human body and causes diseases. 

The technique told by the Siththars to maintain these levels in the same percentages is the mudras. They have categorized them into two types, one is "Yoga mudras" and the other is "Thega mudras". In this post we shall see about the yoga mudra.

Danvanthiri in his book "Danvanthiri Vaithiyam 1000" has wrote about yoga mudra in the following way.

"சுத்தமுள்ள முத்திரைகள் தன்னிலேதான்

suththamulla muththiraikal thannilaethaan 

சுகமான ஆறுவகை முத்திரைகள் நன்று

sugamaana aaruvagai muththiraikal nanru 

பக்தியுடன் ஆறுவகை முத்திரையினாலே

- தன்வந்திரி வைத்தியம் 1000 (Danvanthiri vaithiyam 1000)

Though there are many categories of yoga mudra, there are six important ones and those who do these six mudras without fail will be relieved from the sorrow of birth and will attain mukthi state says Danvanthiri.

These yoga mudras has to be done in a particular sequence only in the brahma muhurtham, and each mudra has to be done for seven minutes ie., all the six mudras should be done in forty two minutes. He also says that while doing these mudras the fingers are most important.

We shall see the importance of the fingers and the techniques in doing the mudras in the next post.

Chant the "Sreem" mantra lakh times to the achyranthes aspera and apply the Aingolak karu* and pluck the plant and place it in a clean pot and cover it properly and dig it in forests, paddy fields, banana fields, sugarcane fields the production of those crops will increase rapidly says Pulipaani Siththar.

It is beleived that "Sivaloka position", "Vaikunta position" , " Attaining Mukthi" all these words are used to address the dead people only. It is not the truth. The highest stage of the yoga is samadhi and the state next to that is 'attaining mukthi'.

The Siththars say that the yoga is the only way to attain mukthi, and that yogic method is categorized into eight parts. They are Kadivu (Iyama), Noanbu (Niyama), Irukkai (Aasana), Valinilai (Pranayama) , Orukkam (Pratyakara), Nirai (Dharana), Uzhkam (Dhyana), Ondrukai (Samadhi).

Konganavar in his vaadha kaaviyam says about the mukthi in the following way:

Following the instructions as told by guru and doing yoga itself is like austerity as fasting. Those who follow this way, they will be capable of facing all the struggle, misery, obstacle and consider themselves as Brahma, the creator and do meditation this is also called as fasting only.  These ten are only called as niyama and rest of them are iyama. If both these iyama and niyama, all these twenty are followed only we can progress in the yoga, saying this he continues

The one who does not follow these twenty is considered as a picture without life. Along with this if we attempt to attain kaaya siddhi, it is equivalent to overcoming 1000 kali yugas*. He also questions that if we are not able to attain mukthi while we are alive then how can we attain it after the death.

The method of preparing sokkup podi has been explained by Pulipaani Siththar in the "Pulipaani palathirattu soothiram" book in the following way.

Sokkup podi - magic powder which have the power to sway others into one's fold 

In my attempt to bring the topics that has been told by Siththars and is hidden as days passed, now I am going to write about the “Sokkup Podi”.

Today’s generation might not be aware of this sokkup podi, but the notion of this post is not to discuss about it. In the songs of the movie and in the regular talking language, most of the time this sokkup podi refers to attracting the people of opposite sex and making them to act as per our desire.

In today’s world I think there is nobody who can prepare the sokkup podi and no way that it could be used. Also I think that this is kept as hidden in order to prevent the misuse of the evil people.

The Pulipaani Siththar has told about its features, benefits and effects of sokkup podi  in the following manner.

"பொடியெடுத்து தூவிவிட்டாற் சகல பேரும்

podiyeduththu thoovivittaar sagala paerum 

பொறிகலங்கி மதிமயங்கி கிடப்பார் பாரு 

porikalangi mathimayangi kidappaar paaru

மடிபிடித்து தான்விரட்டி பொருள்கொண்டாலும்

தடியேடுத்தே யடித்தாலும் நினைவிராது 

thadiyaeduththa yadiththaalum nhinaiviraathu 

தயவாக சலமங்கே தெளிக்கு மட்டும்

thayavaaga salamangae thelikku mattum

vadiveduththa Bogaruda kadaatchaththaalae 

வெழுத்தினேன் புலிப்பாணி சொக்குத் தூளே

vezhuththinaen Pulippaani sokkuth thoolae"

If this is sprinkled on someone, then they will lose their conscience. At that time, if we grab something from them or hit them badly or do anything to them they would neither realize nor remember. Also Pulipaani Siththar says that he has told all these with the grace of Bogar.

Isn’t it surprising?  Can we make this sokkup podi?

Yes definitely and shall see those details in the next post.

We have found evidences that the Muslims are prevailing in Tamilnadu since seventh century. We have found many evidences that shows “soanagar”, ''thulukkar”(refers to Muslims) in the sculptures.

Yacob Siththar in his book has told about the methods of preparing rasamani and the benefits that could be attained on worshipping it. In this post we shall only see the benefits told by him.

He says that, once the mercury is solidified it has to be made into rasamanis and pierce holes in them and tie it up with the aid of thread. Keep this in hand and keep chanting the kalimah, “Bismillah Rahman”. If you keep doing this for three times a day along with prayer, you will also become a member of nabis.

This is also an example to highlight the greatness of the rasamani.

Note: I’m just sharing the ideas and views of the sidhaas with Islamism and I am not really aware about the Islamism totally. If there are any mistakes pertaining to the religion please excuse them.

The Siththars do not belong to any particular religion, language or caste. To say in short, they are like the food that resolves one's hunger. For a food it knows only to resolve the hunger, like wise the Siththars tried to lead the people of the society in a good path.

The people in the search of the wisdom and those who have attained the highest state of it and realised it are said to be as Siththars only. In Hinduism this is called as 'mukthi'. In Islam it is told as 'Dhavhidh'. In Islam, people those who attained this high state are called as 'Nabis'. They have made attempts to enrich the people and thereby they still live among ourselves.These people who lead people to maintain the brotherhood feeling and inculcate affection among people are considered as the messenger of god.

As an evidence of this let us see the prayer song in the book "Yacob Sunnakaandam" written by Yacab Siththar.

"ஆனந்தமாய் நிறைந்த அல்லா பாதம்

By praying to the feets of Allah, who is present everywhere and praying to the feet of the Siththars who are called as nabis, who walks along Allah's path and praying to the Mohammed, who was the one stood as the leader.. I am writing this kaandam named sunnam with trust and truth. 'I have wrote this book with the facts of truth which has to be read keenly to identify them', saying this he started to write this book. 

From this it is so obvious that the Siththars with the features of god are called as nabis in the custom of Islam. 

We have got informations saying that Ramadevar started practising the customs of Islam and was later called as Yacob Siththar. It is heard that he has attained samadhi* in Nagercoil.

In the next post we shall see how the rasamani was used in Islam.

Whatever the Siththars begin to do they will start to do only after praying Lord Siva. Like them, snakes too prays Lord Siva says Bogar.

Now let us see the remedy of naga dhosham.

On the naga panchami that comes after the new moon day of the Tamil month Aavani (equivalent to Aug 15 - Sep 15), under a banyan tree place a naga yantra on the pedestal, on it place the idol of the snake made up of black rock, which is posed like having the siva lingam and by worshipping it you will get rid of the naga dhosham and live happily says Bogar.

The idol of the snake and the naga yantra that has to be worshipped should be of certain prescribed constraints, those are also mentioned by Bogar.

This is a sample picture of the snake idol. 

He has told that the idol of the snake should be lesser than two and half feet (including pedestal) and the snake should be in 3 or 5 turns. On the day of placing the idol, only milk, fruits has to be consumed and worshipped with dedication says Bogar.

With this the remedy for the naga dhosham is over.

In the next post we shall see about the relation between Islam and Siththars.

Bogar in his book "Bogar 12000" has told about a remedy to get rid of the naga dhosham. He says that this remedy should be performed on only one particular day and that day is "Naga Panchami Thithi".

What is thithi?  

Before we get into that remedy, let us see briefly about thithi. Like star is important for every person who takes birth, thithi is important for ancestors who has died.

From full moon day to new moon day, 15 days are "Theipirai Thithi" and the 15 days from new moon day to full moon day are "Valarpirai Thithi". In sanskrit it is called as "Krishnapaksham" and "Suklapaksham".

They are

1. Pirathamai

2. Thuvithiyai

3. Thiruthiyai 

4. Chathurthi

5. Panchami

6. Shashti

7. Sapthami

8. Ashtami

9. Navami

10. Dhasami

11. Ekaadhasi

12. Dhwaadhasi

13. Thiriyoadhasi

14. Chathurdhasi

15. New moon day or Full moon day.

In astrology, the good days are seen on the basis of these thithis. Anything performed on ashtami and navami will not be successful.

In these thithis we are going to see the one that will come on fifth day after new moon day called as Panchami. In particular, the panchami comes in the Tamil month Aavani (equivalent to Aug 15 - Sep 15) is called as "Naga Panchami". On this naga panchami only the remedy told by Bogar has to be performed.

We shall see about the remedies told by Bogar in the next post.

In the previous posts I have written about the clarification and ideas of the Siththars regarding the astrology (you can find those posts here). As a sequence to those posts, in this post we shall see about the "Naga dhosham" or "Sarpa Dhosham".

In astrology, the positioning of raagu-kaethu causes certain effects to a particular person those results are called as "Naga dhosham" or "Sarpa Dhosham". In astrology the Naga dhosham is described as very difficult or very sorrowful. The methods followed to get rid of these curses are called as the remedy.

Bogar in his "Bogar 12000" book has told about the naga dhosham in detail. I will narrate them in short.

Based on the the positioning of the raagu and kaethu, some of them get this naga dhosham and by performing sinful activities like collapsing the snake hole or killing the snake some may attain naga dhosham says Bhogar.

Bogar says the snakes as "Life Swallowers". This creature with no body parts will eat the other living beings alive only. Hence there are so many lives resent within them. These snakes live in darkness all the time, their birth is considered as sinful, hence when a snake is killed all the sins the snake was possessing will pass on to the person who killed it says Bogar.

The anthills where snake resides is the power centre which is equivalent to the temple says Bogar. He also says that these anthills are not present everywhere. The places where these anthills located have got unique vaasthu features. The white ants go deeper into the ground and collect the mud from their, with that mud and salaiva they construct these anthills. In this anthills there is a kind of mercury present and Bogar has explained the method of seperating that mercury from it in his book.

The people with this naga dhosham will face troubles in marriage, studies, marriage and pregnancy. By following the prescribed remedies they can get rid of those effects.

What is that remedy? We will see it in the next post.

I am writing this post with lot of hesitation only. My notion is not to point out or to hurt anyone. I am just talking about this point which was pricking my heart, with a hope that at least after this there might be any positive impact.

Already I have written a post about the Siththars of Eezham, those who missed it out can find it in the post, The Siththars of Eezham - An introduction. Like the Siththars of Tamilnadu, the Siththars of Eezham are also expertise in medicine, alchemy, astrology, mantras. We have found so many evidences that could assure its right.

As they did not have much following, the information regarding the Siththars of Eezham were not known much and they did not attain much fame. Because of this reason only, all the books of the Siththars of Eezham  have come to an end with their disciples only. Though many of them have got those books of those Siththars with them right now, they are not interested to share with everyone.

In my own experience, when I asked some of the people I know to share the books that they have got about the Siththars of Eezham, their convincing reply was, “ The Siththars never wished to reveal these books, if they really wished for it on a day, then it will be coming out on that day by itself”. On my own attempts till now I was able to collect only 23 songs of the Siththars.

In all those songs, thoughts and their language they used reveals their intelligence. Most of the people in Colombo will have the evidences related to the Siththars of Eezham. But it is a curse to Eezham Siththar literature that they are hesitant to share it with everyone.

Very few books have been written on the Eezham Siththars so far. Only two to three books have been published.  In those books also the authors have not produced the songs of the SIththars. May be they have also got the same experiences that I have got.

Hence with this post, my sincere request is that those who have got the songs of the Siththars or got information about it please do share it with everyone.

I am sharing the two songs that I have related to the Siththars of Eezham.

In the past few posts I have shared the information related to the problems faced by the women and solutions to them told by the Siththars. I am so happy about it. This is possilble only because of the grace of guru. As the final part of this series I wish to conclude by sharing about some of the general health tips for women.

For body to attain beauty 

Take 168 ml of milk, add saffron and boil it and at moderate temperature add a tea spoon full of honey and keep drinking it for 48 days then the body shines says Pulipaani Siththar.

To produce mother's milk

Grind some teak, liquorice, long pepper and applying it on the breast will produce milk says Agathiyar.

To reduce the weight 

Bogar in his book "Vaithiyam 700" says that take 4 ounces of water and add one ounce of honey, on consuming this we can loose weight.

Black patches on the skin

In the morning and evening, clean the places where the black patches is present with warm water.  coleus aromaticus leaf and ocimum basilicum leaf, both these leaf are to be crushed and applied on the affected areas will cure it, says Theraiyar.

For the whitlow 

Apply quicklime in the sprout of betel leaf and grind till it beomes like a paste and apply on the finger which got whitlow says Korakkar.

Cracks

Theraiyar has told that the sesbania grandiflora leaves are to be cooked and consumed for 

twice a week, this will equalise the levels of bile in body and thereby the cracks can be healed.

The roots of sivan vembu are to be grinded by adding milk and consumed will cure the cracks. Along with this the body also shines.

The neem sprout, turmeric along with castor oil are to be applied on the cracks, this will cure them.

To break the tumour

Grind the sappaathippoo in the cylindrical stone roller, then then tumour will break. It is enough if we apply once says Pulipaani Siththar.

Remove the unwanted hair in the body

Take a measure of yellow orpiment and add half measure of quicklime and  apply it on the unwanted hair and let it for 15 - 20 minutes, then wash it off. The hair will fall off by itself says Theraiyar.

Athlete's foot

Gall nut and turmeric are to be grinded together and apply it on the wounds, it will be cured says Pulipaani.

Scabies

The well grown portia tree's bark has to be finely powdered and dissolve in cocunut oil and let it dry in the sunlight. Apply this on scabies and get healed completely says Agathiyar.

In another situation I shall share some other information about the welfare of women.

In the next post I shall catch up with another information.

Agathiyar in his book, "Agathiyar Aayul Vedham", in the song number 23 - 29 he has clearly told about the growth of the baby since the day it has been formed to till the day tenth month. The information that has been given today's allopathy as a result of several of researches has already been told in seven songs by Agathiyar.

"Listen. I am telling the way all we human take birth" saying this, he says in the following way.

When the oxygen touches the sperm they get aroused and the cell grows. Due to the realtion that happens at this time the woman and man's semen get united and the bile, phlegm, paralysis mix with them and they form like a bubble in the foetus and in 25 days it forms like a sprout.

In the first month it forms like a sprout and it then grows and forms like abscess. In the second month occipital, shoulder, back will be the parts formed. In the third month the body, rib, hip will be formed. In the fourth month nose will be formed. In the fifth month ear will be formed.

In the sixth month the nose as well as ear will grow. In the seventh month the exit for the excreta will be formed as a small hole. At this time only brain will also be formed. Also the nerves, navel, intestine will be formed. In the eighth month hairs grow in head and the baby becomes stronger.

The food that it deserves will be given to it through the umbilical cord. In the ninth month it gets the senses that could realise itself. Along with this, the baby inside the womb may also get some disease due to the mother . Hence fearing about the life the baby prays by posing the hands joining together.

In the tenth month, due to the urge of the apana vayu the baby breaks the placenta and the baby turns upside down and takes birth in this world. The baby will look like sleeping after the struggle to come out. This is the secret behind the birth of human and his journey of ten months.

Isn't it surprising??

In the next post I shall share some of the health tips for women.

On sharing all these informations, that are about to vanish as days passes or hat are forgot by most people, causes a great amount of satisfaction and happiness.  I could not express it in words.

Now-a-days by scanning one can identify whether the baby in the womb is boy or girl, that too even after the baby is grown partially. But in the very olden days when there is no development of science at all, without the aid of the modern equipments the Siththars have told the simple techniques to identify if the baby is boy or girl at the very early stages itself.

"கெற்பதானங்கள் பண்ணக் கிணர்தனிட் சரணங்கணாசி

kerpathaanangal pannak kinarthanit sarananganaasi 

வற்பணப் பிராணவாய்வு வலத்திலே யோடி லாணாஞ்

பிற்கர வுதயமாகிற் பிலமில்லாக் குருடு வூமை

pirkara vuthayamaakir pilamillaak kurudu voomai" 

- அகத்தியர் (Agathiyar)

At the time the baby was formed taking into consideration the breath that flows in nose, we can identify whether the baby is boy or girl. Agathiyar has told about that technique in the following way.

The oxygen is flowing in the right side of the nose then the baby formed in the womb is girl else if the oxygen is flowing in the left side of the nose then the baby formed in the womb is boy. If there is any problem in the flow of the oxygen then the baby will be born with defeciencies like blindness, deaf, etc,.

Pulipaani Siththar in one of his songs has told the technique of predicting the day the baby would take birth. 

"சித்திரை பத்தாந் தேதியில் தூரம்

siththirai paththaan thaethiyil thooram 

சென்றிடிலது முதற்பத்து வரையில்

- புலிப்பாணி (Pulipaani)

If the periods is stopped during the Tamil month of siththirai (appr. Apr 15 - May 15)  from then count ten months i.e., thuy, Tamil month (appr. Jan 15 - Feb 15)  and add seven days to it and hence they baby will take birth on the seventeenth day of the thuy month.

If the periods stops on before fifteenth of the siththiraiai month then count ten months from then.

If the period stops after the fifteenth of the month then count as eleven months from then says Pulipaani Siththar.

During the time of pregnancy, the growth of the baby related details will be shared in the next post.
