The state of being Siththar is a birthless bliss. We have seen about this higher state and also the ways of attaining this blissful state in the previous posts. The state of birthless bliss cannot be achieved by everyone. Those who were having devotion along with guru’s blessing alone can achieve this status. Interested readers can go through this stages of yoga described by Patanjali.
At this point, readers might have a suspicion about what is the relationship between mantrika and this state. Like the stages of yoga, mantrika is also a way to achieve birthful bliss.Of course, Siththar’s told that the state of being Siththar can be achieved through the mantrika.
Similar to the eight stages to attain birthless bliss as described in the book named ‘Patanjali Yoga Soothiram’’, mantrika also given eight stages given by the Siththars. These eight stages are called mantrika ashta sidhdhi which are listed below.
Vasiyam
Mohanam
Thambanam
Uchaadanam
Aakrusanam
Paethanam
Vithuvaedanam
Maaranam
Each eight stage focuses on its unique target. We will see it in the following posts. However, each and every stage should be practiced under guru’s proper guidance with utmost care
to achieve the desired goal.
Chanting mantras in proper way and energizing yantras through these mantras forms the basis of this art. These combinations of mantra and yantra can be called as Siththar’s mantrika.
With the brief introduction, we will see in next post.
