Noakku varam. It became a hot trended topic from past 3 years and none was much aware of this type of this topic before. At least, it is great thing that, we came to know about our art as well as our identity with minimal information from films. It will definitely be a prideful thing to feel about that Tamil people, who used their vision also for defense.
Like this only, we have lost many greatness of Tamilans. It will lead to bitterness if we try to find whether these rare Tamil arts are hidden from us or lost in time period.
Noakku varmam is one type of varmam. I have already shared it one of my previous posts, That can be read in the topic, types of varmam. Noakku varmam is elaborated in the books of Siththars like Agathiyar, Bogar, etc,.
Some people put forth their idea to my mail about their correlation of westernized hypnotism and mesmerism to this noakku varmam. As far as I known, with my theoretical knowledge, both are different and emerges from various basics. Hence, it is necessary to understand these basics.
During 18th century, Mesmer, a person who made the mesmerism a famous art and hence named after him. However, the fictional stories and films have imposed the illusion about the art in minds of readers or among common public. As seen in these fictional things, it is not possible to get someone under control in fraction of time. Since, without the permission of that concerned person, it is not possible to do action of that art in this regard.
After obtaining permission from that concerned person, one should first make them settle in alpha state and make them under control. That too, it is impossible to find the secret, if that person is not willing to tell those information.
This state is a sleepy state, where we can feel the touch, can hear and can talk.
Through this art of hypnotism and mesmerism, it is possible to eradicate the feel of stress/ depression, pains and sufferings, bad habits, feeling bad about themselves. Moreover, we even can come to know about the memories of previous birth.
However, noakku varmam deals with spontaneous control of enemy or opposite party on mere vision and make them under one’s control. This is not over superstitious since, Bogar and Agathiyar also mentioned about this in their books with their promising notes.
As far as the survival of this art, I will completely deny the statement of its evacuation because, the reminiscence of this art lives among us still. Let us continue this topic in upcoming post.
