Siththar’s rationalism

Author: தோழி / Labels:

State of Godliness is possible to one, who follows the way shown in the Siththar’s poem. Moreover, we cannot see any imaginary information neither praising quotes nor the decorative lines in these poems. There might be possibilities of some exceptions in some poems which belongs to later period.

According to Siththars view, godliness is the well stabled higher state of mankind and that state can be achieved through the regular practice by any person. Many poems can be quoted to prove this statement.

Siththars were highly disappointed with the ignorant fake practice of spirituality on the basis of Godliness state and god. Most of the critics have ignored and rejected these statements and prevented it from reaching the common public. However, some remnants poems are eternal and still present beyond the ages.

In that sense, we will see the following poem of Paambaatti Siththar in this post.

"பூசை செய்தாலே சுத்தபோதம் வருமோ?
poosai seithaalae suththapoatham varumoa?
பூமிவலம் செய்ததனாற் புண்ணியம் உண்டோ?
poomivalam seithathanaar punniyam undoa?
ஆசையற்ற காலத்திலே ஆதி வஸ்துவே
aasaiyatra kaalaththilae aathi vasthuvae
அயைடலாம் என்று துணிந்து ஆடாய் பாம்பே!
ayaidalaam enru thuninthu aadaai paambae!”

Paambaati siththar questioning us regarding the basis of spirituality as, how one can get benefit from the poojas performed on god as daily basis and searching virtue on temple of various places?

One cannot find the state of godliness in form of mankind nor the blessings from certain places. It is eternal thing present everywhere and shapeless structure which can also be felt and seen inside everyone.

One cannot achieve this eternal state by performing pooja neither roaming to find the virtue nor reading the religious books. Paambaatti Siththar says, one can feel and attain this high state by destroying their selfishness and start living with magnanimous thoughts.

Arutpulambal – An Introduction

Author: தோழி / Labels:

*Arutpulambal: Arul + Pulambal - Gracious Lamentation

We can refer the state of 'arutpulambal' as  the songs sung in one's awaken self.

Background of almost all Tamil depicting Siththars is very simple and they were from the part of ignored inhabitants in society. Of course, everything has its exception!

Two Siththars here were exception. One is Pattinaththaar, who was born in business/trade family and lived a very luxurious life. Another one is Pathirakiriyar who was a king and accepted Pattinaththaar as his guru and lived yogic life, leaving behind the royal comfortness.

Arutpulambal also called ‘Meignana pulambal (Lamentation of True Wisdom)’, a book written by Pathirakiriyaar has its unique place among the Siththar’s books.  He believed to be attained mukthi* in Thiruvidaimarudhoor of Tanjore district, Tamil nadu, India.

The poems in Arutpulambal is so simple and one can easily understand the meaning in the first reading itself is its unique great feature. However, one can understand and feel the greatest connotation of this poem during re-readings.

For example, we will see the following poem,

"ஆங்கார முள்ளடக்கி ஐம்புலனைச் சுட்டறுத்துத்
aangkaara mulladakki aimpulanaich suttaruththuth
தூங்காமற் றூங்கி சுகம் பெறுவ தெக்காலம்?
thoonkaamar roongi sukam peruva thekkaalam?”

In the first reading of the above poem, we can understand that, “when we will reach god by controlling arrogance and basic five sense?”.

However the deep reading indicates arrogance as oneself. And the deployment of five senses occurs as soon as the deployment of one’s arrogance.

And the words “Sleepless Sleep (Thoongaamal thoongi)” may be easy to read but it is very unique and is not easy to get the direct meaning. As far as I know, it must indicate the stage of one’s awaken self.

So, Pathirakiriyaar stated that, mukthi is possible when, one deploy his arrogance and be in self awaken state.

*Mukthi – salvation/final emancipation

Mantrika - Finally few words!

Author: தோழி / Labels:

The main aim of discussing Siththars mantrika in our blog is to enlighten the readers about the basic importance and necessity of mantrika and also eliminating the dreadful feeling about it.

More over, mantrika is one of the two ways to attain mukthi in siddhalogy. It might be new to many readers, however it is necessary to share the basics and stages of Siththars mantrika in our blog. 

It is not an easy task to share all about the topic mantrika just in 25 posts. Since its boundary is infinite, it may take almost a year to describe the topic in depth. Hence, as we said, mantrika’s asta karma has been seen discussed till. With gguru’s permission and if time supports in future, we can see the mantrika in detail up to my knowledge.

Even though, mantrika exists in various places in world, there is no scientific evidence proving its truthness. However, many people have written about mantrika, which infer us, that it was widely in use. We need more discussions and research activities to bring out the mantrika’s truthness. I have no idea, whether any one practicing this art in ‘Tamil’ culture. According to my concern, it can be seen as pschycological based art.

Even though, asta karma explains about the eight stages of mantrika, we have no correct idea about its order. Available information describes it as basic stages. However, there is no information regarding the starting and ending stages, which I am still searching. However, it is clearly inferred that, one should start practicing a new stage only after attaing siddhi in previous one.

Mantrika must be learned only through guru’s guidance. Only perfect guru can teach their students in right path. We have already seen the way to find appropriate right guru. Interested readers can read the older posts and refresh it. Guru is a person with full of kindness and care and well wisher. Hence one can get guru’s blessing only if we believe him and surrender us wholeheartedly.

Siththars have stated that, one with good physical and mental fitness only can start practicing this art. Even though, the practicing methods are given in Siththars poems, it is best to practice under guru’s guidance. We should believe that, ‘nothing is greater than our guru’.

Thirumoolar and many other Siththars were written in detail about mantrika and it might take one’s life time to gather and post all information. Hence, in our post, we have seen only Karuvoorar’s mantrika technique so far.

I only have literal knowledge about mantrika and have not gained any practical experience in this art. My only focus is to share the Siththars quotes and poems. 

Siththars mantrika highly differs from Malayala mantrika. Even though, there may be some similarities in basics. The focus and functioning of each highly differ from one another.

The chanting methods are discussed in older posts. From starting itself, I repeatedly told that, there is no scientific evidence describing the truthfulness of mantrika. Hence, there is no doubt, that it may be considered for argument till we got any scientific evidence. We might get clear view of this art, only through future researches regarding mantrika art.

We should have correct reason before rejecting one thing as false hope. We should not forget that, even small information will be useful somewhere. 
In upcoming post, we will see with another exciting Sithar’s information.

I would like to thank all our fellow readers for constant support and encouragement.

Maaranam - Continuation

Maaranam, which is eighth art of Siththars astakarma, is comparatively most dangerous art. Maaranam might induce death to concerned person. Person with high mental stability can have a chance to practice and attain siddhi in this art. These mantrika arts discussed so far has no scientifically proven records. Here, we are giving out this information only with the thought of sharing it. Hence, we request you all not to practice any of these mantrika art
merely with this information alone.

Let us see the making of maarana yantra. Karuvoorar in his following poem gives information about the yantra preparation.

With reference to the above poem, we will obtain the yantra as shown below.


This yantra should be drawn on copper or silver plate. The yantra making has its own unique technique and it should be adopted while preparing yantra. Let us see the mystic trick to attain siddhi with the help of prepared yantra.

With guru’s blessings, one should start on a fine wednesday, wearing naga mani chain, sitting on a plank of fig tree, facing south direction and placing yantra made of silver or copper plate on black silk cloth.

The moolamantra for maranam “Om sivayanama savvum sriyum ariom suvaaka” should be chanted 108 times on every sunrise and sunset time regularly for 48 days. Along with that, archanai should be performed on yantra using ground nut flower to attain siddhi, as told by Karuvoorar.

Maaranam

Let us see the preparation for attaining siddhi in maaranam.

The principal god for maaranam is lord yama*.  

The moolamatra is “Om sivayanama savvum sriyum ariom suvaaka”.

Vithuvaedanam - Continuation

Author: தோழி / Labels: ,

Vithuvaedanam induces misunderstanding between two people and will untie their relationship. Nowadays, it is heard that, Malayalam mantrikans are good in this art.

Similar to other mantrika art, vithuvaedam also relies mainly on yantra. As far as I know, there is no publication of this yantra’s photo till now. It might be first blog giving the image of this yantra for public view.

Let us see the making of yantra. Karuvoorar in his following poem, gives information regarding the structure of yantra.

From the above information, we will get yantra as shown below.



It is really difficult to prepare yantra using the information obtained from Siththars poem. Preparing correct yantra is possible only to a person who was highly familiar with Siththars song. Commercially available yantras in markets might not be properly prepared as per Siththars guidance.

Now, we are going to see the trick using this yantra. One should start with guru’s blessings, on one fine thursday, wearing tulsi bead chain sitting on veppalai plank facing south west direction. Then, the yantra prepared on silver or copper plate should be placed on panjavarna* silk cloth and moolamantra “Om vayanamasi sriyum ariom aiyum suvaaka” should be chanted 108 times on morning and evening time (sunrise and sunset time) for 48 days regularly. Along with that, archanai should be performed to yantra using white dead nettle flower to attain siddhi in uchaadanam, as told by Karuvoorar.

We will see another manthrika art in upcoming post.

Uchaadanam

Author: தோழி / Labels:

Uchaaranam or Uchaadanam is one among the asta karma of Siththars. This is comparatively the most strong-minded and perilous art. Readers can refresh about the types of  mantra chant.

There is lot many matters to share regarding uchaadanam. However, in this post we will see about the uchaadanam in Siththars view. Basically uchaadanam means mastering the art of chanting mantra.

In Siththars usage, uchaadanam is used as a defensive art. They taught their students too in same way. The vibrations formed during chanting mantras are used to protect their body and surroundings.

Let us see about the preparation for practicing ‘uchaadanam’.

The principal god of uchaadanam is Niruthi. The moolamantra is ‘Om vayanamasi sriyum ariom aiyum suvaaka’.

One should start practicing on thursday facing south west direction.

Tulsi bead chain is used to wear and tulsi rosary should be used for chanting purpose.

Veppalai (Wrightia tinctoria) plank is used for seating purpose. White dead nettle flower is used for performing archanai* on yantra.

One should wear panjavarna* silk cloth and also wear it to yantra. Yantra is made up of silver or copper plate in order to attain siddhi in uchaadanam.

In upcoming post, we will see about the method of designing  yantra and mode to attain siddhi in uchaadanam.

*Archanai – invoking the blessing of God by offering the flowers etc. and by reciting the sacred names of the deity

*Panjavarna – the five colours: white, black, red, yellow and green

Karuvoorar in his following song quoted the information of making yantra for practicing thambanam.

Thambanam

Author: தோழி / Labels:

In the series of Siththars mantrika, today we are going to see about thambanam and requirements to attain siddhi in this art. Thambanam or sthambanam  is an art which directly meant entrapping. It entraps a concerned thing and nullifies it. Among 64 subtle arts said in Tamil literature, eight stages of thambanam are also included.

The result of this art leads to perilous effects. Hence it must be practiced under guru’s appropriate guidance and blessings. One should realize that, guru’s blessings will be given only to those who have good physical and mental stability. 

Now we will see about the preparations to attain siddhi in Thambanam.

The principal god for Thambanam is Indra. The moolamantra is “Om namasivaya ayyum kiliyum savvum suvaaka”.

One should start practicing this art in one fine monday and should face east direction in order to attain siddhi in thambanam. 

Lotus beads of chain should be wore in body and lotus rosary should be used for chanting mantras.

Plank of jackfruit tree should be used for seating purpose. 

Lotus flower must be used for pooja purpose. 

Green silk cloth is used to wear and should be wore for yantra.

Yantra for thambanam  should be made of copper or silver plate. In next post, we will see information about the way to draw yantra, and trick to attain siddhi in thambanam.

Mohanam

Author: தோழி / Labels:

In this post, we will see about mohanam, which is one among the ashta siddhis of the Siththars mantrika.

Mohanam makes one to fall in infatuation with concerned person. Similar to other mantrika
stages, mohanam is also kept secret. Those who have proper mental and physical stability only can practice it under guru’s guidance or else it will result in converse effects.

Similar to other mantrika methods, mokanam also requires necessary preparations before starting. Even though it is discussed previously, for readers easiness, information are once again refreshed here.

One should start practicing mohanam on one fine tuesday to attain siddhi.

The god for mohanam is Agni (God of fire).

Pepper rosary should be used for chanting and wearing.

Moolamantra for mohanam is “Om masivayana kiliyum savvum sriyum suvaaka”.

Mango plank should be used for sitting.

Pooja should be performed facing south east direction.

Jasminum sambac should be used to perform archanai*.

Yellow silk cloth is used to wear and should be wore for yantra.

Another important thing is unique yantra specified for mohanam should be used. Silver or copper sheet should be used for making mystic drawings. In the upcoming posts, the yantra preparation and corresponding pooja will be discussed.

Stay tuned!!

Vasiyam

Author: தோழி / Labels: ,

So far we have seen the introduction and preparation of Siththars mantrika. Hereafter we will get into the incredibly exciting part of this topic. We are going to see the eight stages of mantrika. 

Dear friends! There are no well known scientific records on effects of the mantrika. More over, today’s modern science consider this mantrika art as pseudo science and denying it. So, practicing this art with false cases and trying it might results in contradictory reactions and converse effect.

As this event of collecting and sharing information is only to accumulate and imparting the Siththars works which are ravaged by time! So kindly do not practice it without proper guidance from appropriate guru.

In this sequence of mantrika, today we will see about the vasiyam. Vasiyam controls a person or persons according to one’s own desire. According to the need, it is further divided into eight types. They are “Jana vasiyam”, “Raaja vasiyam”, “Purusa vasiyam”, “Sthree vasiyam”, “Miruga vasiyam”, “Deva vasiyam”, “Sathru vasiyam” and “Loka vasiyam”. Each of the above mentioned type has its own unique practices which are described in Siththars songs.

Whatever be the mantrika method, the synchronization of mantra, yantra and the trick to implement them is essential. So far, we have shared the information regarding preparation in the previous posts. However for readers easiness, the pre-preparation information regarding vasiyam are refreshed here.

In order to to get siddhi* in vasiyam, practice should be started on one fine sunday. Rudrakshaa rosary should be used while chanting manthra. One should should face north east direction and seat in bael plank. Lord Shiva is god for vasiyam and should use jasmine flower for pooja.

Dress made up of red silk is to be wore. Moola mantra for vasiyam is “Om yanamasiva ariom aiyum kiliyum suvaaka”. Silver or copper sheet must be used for drawing mystic diagrams in yantra. Pooja should be done on both morning and evening time.

Okay, how to make this yantra? And how to use these yanthra to attain siddhi? We will see in the next post.

*Siddhi – mystical power
