Ones’s deed will burn thyself

Author: தோழி / Labels:

Pattinaththar, after his renunciation, lived by begging for alms. The relatives of Pattinaththar were worried about their caste pride. One day, in anger, relatives of Pattinaththar poisoned the appam* and offered him to eat.

Pattinaththar, with his mystical wisdom, realised the truth and didn’t eat that appam. While Pattinaththar was saying the following verse, he just thrown the Appam into the rooftop of the relative’s house who poisoned him.

“தன்வினை தன்னைச்சுடும், 
thanvinai thannaisudum,
ஓட்டப்பம் வீட்டைச் சுடும்
ottappam veettai sudum”

One’s deed will burn thyself, 
Appam in the rooftop will burn the house

As he said the verse, his relative's house started to burn..

This was the first miracle which made the World to know about Pattinathar’s conceit.

*Appam - a flat round cake of rice flour and jaggery fried in oil



Siththars and mystics

Author: தோழி / Labels:


Siththars were capable of doing mystics, but it was not their intention. It was just a part of their journey and it holds only a small space in their achievements.

Siththars can make and bring materials which are different from the magic and tantra of the fakes. Siththars are omnipotent and they could get anything done as they desire.They could also bring the living beings whenever they wish. They could even give life to the dead by their mystical powers.

The mystical actions, which might seem as miracle to us, are just petty performances of their powers for the Siththars.

In next posts, we will see some miracles done by Siththars.



Men can live forever

If all the Worldly desires are referred as the carnal pleasures, then what is the real bliss?

Siththars have answer for this too. When one can fuse his soul with God, he can attain an endless bliss. To achieve this endless bliss, Pattinaththar says, one has to become immortal.

"பிறவாதிருக்க வரம் தரவேண்டும்; பிறந்துவிட்டால்
piravaathirukka varam tharavendum; piranthuvittal
இறவா திருக்க மருந்துண்டு காண் இது எப்படியோ
iravaa thirukka marunthundu kaan ithu eppadiyo
அறமார் புகழ்தில்லை அம்பலவாணர் அடிக்கமலம்
aramaar pugazhthillai amabalavaanar adikkamalam
மறவா திருமனமே! அதுகாண் நல் மருந்துனக்கே..!
maravaa thirumaname! athukaan nal marunthunakke..!”

Pattinaththar, in the above song, highlights an important point. One who is born could live forever without mortality by using a special medicine. From this we can clearly understand how Siththars live with their subtle body.
