Who is Siththar?

Author: தோழி / Labels: ,

"இறந்தவர் ஐவர் அவர் இஷ்டமானவர்
iranthavar aivar avar ishtamaanavar
எய்தும் அவர் இறந்தார் என்று எல்லார்க்குஞ்சொல்
aeithum avar iranthaar enru ellaarkkunjol
மறந்தவர் ஒருவரென்றே மண்ணில் உள்ளோர்
maranthavar oruvarenrae mannil ulloar
வகையறிந்திடவே நின்று ஆடாய் பாம்பே!
vagaiyarinthidavae ninru aadaai paambae!”

- பாம்பாட்டிச் சித்தர்  (Paambaatti Siththar)

If a human who has been under the control of the five sense organs lose his life, then he cannot re enter into the same body once again. Once lost is lost. Though a person takes re-birth, he is dead only according to his friends and relatives.

But the one who realises them inspite of the attractive forces due to sense organs is known as the jeevan mukthar. They are beyond the birth and death. Realize that they are the stable people says Paambaatti Siththar.

These jeeva mukthars are only called as Siththars. They are beyond the death. They attain jeeva samadhi. Also they can attain jeeva samadhi* at various places simultaneously. Most of the Siththars call this as one of their theurgic play.

In the next post we shall see another song of Paambaatti Siththar.
