KINGDOM OF SITHTHARS

In Siththar genetics so far we have seen about the way of offering our prayers to the guru, as a sequence of it I wish to take you this topic next.

"ஓமெனும் ஓங்காரத்துள்ளே ஒரு மொழி

omenum oangaaraththullae oru mozhi

ஓமெனும் ஓங்காரத்துள்ளே ஒரு அழகு

omenum oangaaraththullae oru azhagu

ஓமெனும் ஓங்காரத்துள்ளே பல பேதம்

omenum ongaaraththullae pala paetham

ஓமெனும் ஓங்காரம் ஒண்முத்தி சித்தியே!

omenum oangaaram onmuththi siththiyae!"

- திருமூலர் (Thirumoolar)

The superior guru to all of us is god only!! For those who has acheived and those who wanted to achieve, god is only the supreme guru. To make us realise about this we need a human guru.

After recognising a guru of that kind, yogic and wisdom practices has to be done with confidence, belief and full of dedication. Those who does with continuously only can attain perception. Like crushing the seed and getting oil, the body has to be strained and enlighten the soul. The Siththars have also enlightened the soul by physically straining themselves.

The Siththars who have attained this higher position has prayed to which god?

Did all the Siththars worship the same god?

There are many opinions about this. This is always been as a controversial topic only. 

Irrespective of what others have told, based on the informations we got all the Siththars have worshipped to only one god. There is no Siththar who have attained theurgy without praying to that particular god. We can say this stubbornly.

Which god is that powerful and great?

Details in the next post.

This is the most important of the series guru obeisance.

The one who does with pure soul and does without any expectation only can practise this. Those who practise with any other wrong intentions will surely leads to failure. The Siththars are the one who have been rid of all the family pleasures. They do not expect divine service or worship. They do not accept it also. But even today many of them tell that the practice of doing poojas by chanting the 1008 mantra is meant for the Siththars only.

Now let us see the method of praying to them.

In a room filled with purity and silence facing the east keep the picture of the Siththar you pray and keep a lamp in front of it. In a clean cup filled with water, keep it in front of it. Also keep a copper coin of 3mm thickness and 1 inch circumference in front of it.

Now spread a cloth in front of the Siththar’s photo and sit in the pose of padmasanam. Those who feel difficult to sit in that pose can sit normally. Relax the breath, body and remain in a state of silence. At this point I wish to remind about the moola mantra (respective to the Siththar in the photo) and chant it for 1008 times in mind only. This has to be done during the sunrise and sunset everyday.

In this pooja, certain things should be done with proper discipline. Every time before the start of the pooja the water in the cup should be filled freshly. At any cost praying by keeping fruits, flowers or any other food items should not be done. Also remember that the Siththars do not encourage the idol form of worship. 

In this way whoever does the guru obesiance with lot of interest and pure soul they will get the blessing of the guru they worship at the earliest. Based on the severity of our attempt that Siththar will appear to us.

Those who really seek for the blessing of the guru for them this particlar method is a chance.

So far we have seen about the way of offering our prayers to the guru, in the further posts we shall see the gods the Siththars has worshipped.

Is the Guru Obeisance and Siththar obeisance the same? One of our friends asked this question through an e-mail. After giving certain explanations for it, we shall proceed with our series of our guru obeisance.

When a child newly starts the guru kulavasam (residing in Guru's place for learning), the guru teaches the Siththar obeisance mantra to the child. “Hari namoathu sindham” is the Siththar obeisance mantra. This tradition was strictly followed till the previous generation. Now as days passed this tradition has disappeared. Apart from this, I think there is no relation between the Siththar genetics and Siththar obeisance.

To be even clearer, there are evidences that this Siththar obeisance is a practice of the Jains tradition.  Thiruththakka devar in his book, 'Seevaka sindhamani', he has written the following Siththar obeisance as the prayer song in the very beginning of the book iself.

"மூவா முதலா உலகம் ஒரு மூன்றும் ஏத்தத்

moova muthalaa ulagam oru moonrum aeththath

தாவாத இன்பம் தலை ஆயது தன்னின் எய்தி

thaavaatha inbam thalai aayathu thannini eithi

ஓவாது நின்ற குணத்து ஒள் நிதிச் செல்வன் என்ப

oavaathu ninra kunaththu ol nithich selvan enba

தேவாதி தேவன் அவன் சேவடி சேர்தும் அன்றே

thevaathi thevan avan sevadi saerthum anrae"

Hence this Siththar obeisance is no way related to the guru obeisance that we are looking right now.

So now let us switch into our topic that we were discussing.

The Siththars important mantras that I have mentioned in the last post serves as the tricks that help out the disciples to keep them connected with their guru always. By chanting that mantra at the beginning of any action, they believe that they always have the blessings and support of their guru in whatever they do and also they believe that their guru would appear in front of them whenever they need their help.

I guess you are surprised. Yes, the Siththars who have attained samadhi could appear in front of their disciples if needed. In the next post I shall share the method of seeing the Siththars in person.

Keep waiting!!
