KINGDOM OF SITHTHARS

The siththars are the ones who lead their life with nature only. All their tricks and practices are related with the nature only. We could find some information about the site astrology in the Siththars books.

We know about the construction in the modern days, before beginning the soil of that land will be tested. But before ages only the sidhaas stressed about it. The Siththars have mentioned the nature of land in five different characteristics.

They are

• Color
• Smell
• Sound
• Touch
• Dust

Color

White, golden, red, black are four kinds of lands. Based on the color, their nature could be decided.

Smell

The lands which smell like milk, flower, tuber and water are used to build the huge buildings. Those which smell like jasmine, poon, lotus, grains, trumplet-flower and cow are used to construct houses. The land which smells like curd, ghee, honey, oil, blood, fish are not suitable for construction.

Sound

If the sounds which we hear while digging sounds like the sounds produced by horse, elephant, veena, bamboo, ocean then that land is a very special one.

Touch

This is a way to identify by touching. This technique is to identify the nature of the land by touching it by seeing if it is sticky to touch or rough in nature and deciding its nature.

Dust 

When the land is dried, take a fist full of the mud and crush, pour it towards east direction, the dust that flies from it and the amount of mud that is collected on the ground, based on all these we can decide the features of the land.

Isn’t it surprising??

In the next post we shall see about this in detail.

The vaasthu astrology is in the first place regarding the business that is done based on the trust. This vaasthu is very importantly noted by every person from our next door to the person ruling the country. In our families at least one of them will be impacted by it.

The information about the vaasthu has been evolving since the times of adharavan veda. In Sanskrit most of them has written  many books about it. In olden days, beginning from the temple, the palaces, till the houses of the people everything were built by taking the facts of vaasthu into consideration. The supreme god of this vaasthu astrology is the vaasthu purushan.

It is told that in any new built house in the north-east side, the vaasthu purushan places his head and in the south-west side he places his leg and lies upside down. This site where he lies is called as vaasthu mandalam. It is believed that in this vaasthu mandalam, the gods who govern the eight directions split themselves into the eight directions. Apart from them there are forty five devars present in this vaasthu mandalam.

It is believed that the vaasthu purushar sleeps for four different months in a year and stays awake at the rest of the months. Hence based on his time of staying awake and sleeping, people begin with building and finishing the constructions. Like this the vaasthu astrology says certain set of rules for every act in the construction process.                                                                                                                                               

You might be running out of questions like, why I named the post as site astrology and I am talking about the vaasthu astrology. That is the idea of this post. Since ages, the vaasthu astrology only was considered during the construction and has been highlighted as Tamilan's art. We believed that only.

But the fact is that there was a separate art which spoke about the techniques in construction and sculptures. Many temples that are present even today are the examples of these arts only. Though we have got many books about the vaasthu, the books about the site astrology is not yet found. But much information about the site astrology is being spread in the songs of the Siththars. But in those there is nothing about any god and nobody is sleeping in it. It is all related to the science only.

It is the responsibility of every Tamilian to gather all these information and give them collectively. I do not know if anybody has did anything like that. If there is anything like that please let me know.

In the next post I shall catch up with more details about the site astrology.

The idea of this post is to introduce the various stages of self realization. We can explain self realization in many ways. But it is of no use to get into explanation without knowing about the fundamental idea. Hence I am sharing out the points that I have understood.

The self realization is possible only with the blessings and support of the guru. Bringing the mind into concentration and keeping it continuously is a continuous action.

If the mind is kept concentrated, then many clarifications arise and settles in a point. Then the disturbances are avoided. At that point we get the clarifications about temporary things which we thought are permanent. The Siththars consider this stage where we get separated from ourselves and visualize us as a spectator.

Patanjali in his book “Patanjali yogam” has clearly explained about self realization and its stages. Based on this only most of them have shared their experiences of self realization to us through their books. Even today most of them are doing this concept of self realization as a business. The self realization cannot be attained by paying money or by going to classes.

This self realization can be attained only by regular experience. Making our-self one by uniting with one and becoming one is a miracle.

With this I complete this series temporarily.  In other situation I shall attempt to write about it again.

In the next post I shall catch up with other topic.
