Till now we have seen about the naadis which resembles the lotus petals emerging out from basic power energy centers. As I said in course of Kundalini series, I am going to share about the intricacy of naadis.
During Kundalini yoga, we have seen that the four petals emerges from muladhara, 6 petals from svadhishthana, 10 petals from manipura, 12 petals from anahata, 16 petals from vishuddha and 2 petals from ajna. On vibration of these naadis, there comes resonance too which is also discussed previously.
In sithalogy, panchaakara letters has its own significance which is minute and has intricacy too. Panchaakara refers to 51 Tamil letters. These letters are important naadi of Thiruvambala chakra alias “Chithambara Chakra”.
Starting from Agathiyar, many Siththars viz, Pattinaththaar, Sivavaakkiyar, Korakkar noted the significance of these 51 letters in their poems.
Thirumoolar in his “Thirumanthira maalai” noted as follows:
"பெறுதியில் அம்முதல் பேசும்க்ஷவ் வீறாய்
peruthiyil ammuthal paesumshav veeraai
அறிவதெழுத்தைம்பத் தொன்றுமங் கானதே
arivathezhuththaimpath thonrumang kaanathae”
- திருமூலர் (Thirumoolar)
Again Thirumoolar in his book Thirumanthiram, noted the significance
of panchaakara letter as follows:
அடையும் மகாரத்தில் அந்தமாம் க்ஷவ்வும்
adaiyum makaaraththil anthamaam shavvum
அடைவின் எழுத்துஐம் பத்தொன்றும் அமர்ந்ததே
adaivin ezhuthuaim paththonrum amarnthathae.
- திருமூலர் (Thirumoolar)
Arunagirinaathar too explains about panchaakara as follows:
"அகர முதலென உரைசெய் ஐம்பத்தோரட்சரமும்
akara muthalena uraisey aympaththoaratcharamum”
-அருணகிரிநாதர் (Arunagirinaathar)
Similarly, we can quote as many Siththars poems for explaining the significance of panchaakara letters. According to this concept, these 51 letters were praised to be highly important and have its high level of uniqueness
Let us come to Kundalini again. Now you can remind that, in Kundalini yoga, resonance of naadis which emerge out from 7 energy centre were noted as Tamil letters.
Dear friends, in Kundalini yoga, Siththars noted that resonance during attainment of siddhi at every chakra as panchaakara letters. 50 naadis emerging out from 6 chakras along with the one silent letter emerge out at thuriyam chakra totally gives out 51 letters. Regarding this silent letter, I have discussed it in previous posts and this letter is also called as “Naayottu manthiram”.
It is the most significance and uniqueness of our Tamil language. On keeping this in mind, our ancestors told that, we will get good physical and mental health on good pronunciation of our Tamil language by uttering syllable correctly. Unfortunately, we people are in the craze of western culture and leaving out the significance of our precious language.
P.S. : Readers can refresh the idea of Panchaakara letters from my previous post.
