EDITORIAL

The Management has been very busy

making arrangement for a Charity

Dinner in aid of Anbu Illam and

Karunai Illam. It is almost 20 years

since we last held a public dinner. It

was timely because we wanted it to

coincide with Deepavali and also to

raise funds for both the homes. Last

year we did not get any government

grants due to issues faced with Majilis

Ampang Jaya. There was some new

bye laws which was the requirements

needed for the building to be

approved as Home for the kids. The

cost of modifications required about

RM30,000 and it was difficult to raise

such amount within a short time. This

delayed the issuing of a residence

permit from the Majilis. This caused

us from not getting the grant last

year. This was not the fault of the

management because very short

notice was given in November last

year. It took us about 3 months to

complete the job. We are also facing

similar problem with Karunai Illam

regarding the new home. We hope all

will be settled by this year end.

Through this dinner we hope to raise

some money to manage both the

homes. It must be reminded that both

the homes has increased the students

population by about 40 % and we

have also recruited additional staffs

to manage the home. Hence the cost

of monthly expenditure has gone up.

By God’s grace we have gone through

the hardships and we are on the road

to recovery. The support from our

regular donors and individuals has

been very encouraging.. We hope and

pray all SSMM members will support

this dinner by attending the dinner.

Five boys and one girl will be sitting

for their SPM exams. They are given

special attention to focus in their

studies and additional classes and

seminars are being held for these

kids. They have give us the assurance

that they will all do well in the exams

and make the home proud.

Many ordinary members have not

renewed their annual subscription.

Hope they will do it immediately.

FEATURE LIFE HISTORY OF

THIRUMOOLAR A Student by name Sundaran who belongs

to Madurai in Tamilnadu had undergone

his studies with guru Agasthiar in Pothigai

Region. Agasthiar was a Siddhar, Saint and

Rishi. His contributions to Tamil literature

are very huge in the field of Medicine,

Sithandham, Vedhantham, and

Physiology. In those days Education

means gurukulavasam. That is to say that

the student stayed with the Guru or

teacher and the studies are not with

books. The student learnt from the guru

by observing him, being obedient to him,

devoted to him.

And then when

the guru feels

that the right

time had arrived

he used to give

lectures and also

engage the

students in

various

discussions on philosophy and other

related materials. Most of the Vedas,

Upanishads, and other religious materials

were taught in this way and the students

had to memorize the verses. Agasthiar

had contributed hugely to Hindu

philosophy. He had also authored

hundreds and thousands of poems dealing

with philosophy and religion. One such

book is named “Agasthiar Forty

Thousand” and it contains 40,000 poems!

He has written several books in Tamil

dealing with variety of subjects such as

Medicine, Vedhantham and Sithandham.

As and when Sundaran had completed his

Tamil studies with guru Agasthiar he

sponsored him to Nandeeswaran for

further studies in Sanskrit language about

Vedha Agamam. Guru Nandheeswarar

preached and taught Nine Vedha

Agamams which was first taught by Lord

Shiva to Parvathi, then to Nandeeswaran.

Lord Shiva preached in all a total of 28

Vedha Agamams. Nandeeswarar preached

only Nine Vedha Agamams to his disciples.

Incidentally Sundaran has studied at

Mount Kailash. There were seven other

disciples by name Sanagar, Sanandhanar,

Sandhanar, Sarar Kumarar, Viyakramar,

Padanjali, Sivayoga Mamuni. All these

disciples studied along with Sundarar

making up a total of eight disciples. The

names of the nine Vedha Agamams are

Karanam, Kamigam, Veeram, Sindham,

Vadhulam, Viyamalam, Kolotharam,

Suppiram and Makudam. These Vedha

Agamams enunciate the Directive

Principles of Dharma, Karma, Yoga and

Knowledge about the solar system, and

lunar system. In addition to explaining the

nature and function of the universe they

give enormous insight into the human

physiology. The system of the human

anatomy and its various functions are

described in detail. They also discuss the

functions of the mental activities of the

human being. These were the various

topics that Guru Nandeeswarar taught to

these eight disciples. Our Sundaran also

completed his studies with Nandeeswarar

in Sanskrit language and acquired

complete knowledge in Vedhantham and

5

also acquired the eight holy powers

otherwise known as Ashtamasiddhi.

These eight Siddhis are named and known

as:

(1) ANIMA

(2) MAGIMA

(3) KARIMA

(4) LAGIMA

(5) PRAPTHI

(6) PARAKAMYAM

(7)VASITHUVAM

(8) ISHATHVAM

Meaning and significance of these siddhis.

ANIMA or MICROCOSM: It is a specific property of Minuteness of the soul. A yogi concentrating meditating and fixing his attention on the quality of the soul during forced exhalation draws together his entire energy to a point which is then made to penetrate into his body so as to make them vibrate according to the will of the yogi. As and when he masters this he gains another siddhi by using which he can inter into a dead body and bring it back to life. MAHIMA or MICROCOSM: It is a special quality of the soul. By concentrating on this property of the soul, a yogi by mere inhalation of air makes his body assume a larger size and comprehends the universe in himself as was done by Lord Krishna when he assumed the ViratSarupa Viswaroopa to show Arjuna how the whole of the universe was within himself. LAGIMA or LIGHTNESS: It is the third property of the soul. By making sangama on this property of the

soul. The yogi produces diminution of his specific gravity of successive Pooraka, Pramayama. By Swallowing large droughts of air he can thus make his body as light as feather so that it can float in the air or in water. The Yogi’s power of travelling thousands of miles in a moment is attributed to this siddhi.

GARIMA or GRAVITY: It is the property of the soul that is of increasing the specific gravity of the body and thus making it as heavy as a Mountain by Swallowing draughts of air and compressing them to the tissues of the body.

PRAPTHI or SUCCESS: It is the obtaining of desired objects and supernatural powers. The yogi when he is in samadhi acquires the powers of predicting future events, of understanding unknown languages, curing of diseases and of divining the unexpressed thoughts of others. He will enjoy all the pleasures as he wants in his place and as he pleases.

PRAKAMYA: It is defined to be the property of entering in to the body of another person. By doing this the yogi can make that person vibrate according to his (yogi’s) will.

VASITHUVAM: Through this the yogi obtains the power of taming living creatures and bringing them under total control. However the yogi is detached in his mind and does not misuse any of these powers. The yogi is free from passion, emotion etc. By using this power the yogi can subjugate all beings human and otherwise. ISHTHVAM or DOMINION: It is the obtaining of universal domination. Devathas even Brahma fall

6

under the power and influence of the Yogi. Literally the yogi obtains the powers that are attributed to Gods. (Role.G.Vasant “The Mysterious Kundalini” p.p.74.7)

After the completion of his studies with Nandeeswarar at Mount Kailash Sundaran came down from Mount and proceeded to meet his Guru Agasthiyar who lives at Podhigai Region of Tamilnadu. He had to cross Kedharnath, Pasupathynath, and Nepal. He went through the banks of the river Ganges and reached Kasi (Varanasi). On the way he passed through SriSailam, Thisukalahasthi, Thirualangadu, Kancheepuram, Thiruvadhikai, and Veeratam. After passing through Chidambaram and Kaveri river bank he reached Thiruvavaduthurai situated on the southern river bank of Kaveri. One day while he was on his way to meet his Guru Agasthiar, near Sathanur Sundaran happened to see a dead man. It was of a shepherd by name Moolan. Death was caused by snake bite. The cows were crying near the dead body of their master Moolan. This scene deeply affected Sundaran and he decided to help the cows. Sundaran used one of his Astamashiddhi powers, namely the power Parakayapravesam. He safely kept his body inside a big tree hole and entered his soul into the Moolan the shepherd’s dead body. When the cows saw their master Moolan alive they felt very happy. By this compassionate act towards the cows he was obliged to extend his stay in the dead man’s body. By being a Sivayogi he practiced kind and compassionate deeds even on animals. Then he led the cows to their village. As and when he entered the village the wife of shepherd Moolan came go him and invited him to go to their home. But he refused as he was not really shepherd Moolan. The soul is of the

Sivayogi Sundaran. The wife of shepherd Moolan negotiated along with her villagers and requested him to come along with her to live with her but all this was only in vain.

The following morning he went to the place where he has kept the body safely in a big tree hole to enter into his own body and searched for his body. But to his surprise his body disappeared then the soul in the body of shepherd Moolan realized that this was an act of God the Lord Shiva. Then he understood that the intention of the Lord Shiva was to deliver Vedha Agamams in Tamil through the medium of Moolan. If the Vedha Agamams were delivered by Sivayogi in Sundaran’s body the expressions, words, language, and the method of delivery will be in high standard. And it will be extremely difficult for the layman to understand the meaning of Vedha Agamam. Hence it was decided by Lord Shiva to deliver the Vedha Agamam through the Shepherd Moolan’s body which can only speak in colloquial Tamil which can be easily understood even by any lay man who knows only Tamil. If the Sivayogi Sundaran delivered the nine Vedha Agamams through his own body

7

the expressions, language, and the method of delivery will be in high standard and it will be difficult to understand the meaning of Vedha Agamam by common people. Hence it was decided by lord Shiva to deliver the Vedha Agamams through the Shepherd Moolan’s body.

But it was stated that Thirumoolar went through a period of one year in yoga to deliver just one Thirumandhiram i.e. four lines or 16 words approximately. Moolan’s body was just an instrument to deliver the Thirumandhiram to the lay public. Thus it was that the Mouth of shepherd Moolan uttered the words of Vedha Agamam in colloquial Tamil. One Thirumandhiram for one year- thus it took three thousand years to complete the delivery of 3000 Thirumandhirams and all these uttered directly from the soul of Sivayogi Sundaran through the mouth of the shepherd Moolan. Each and every word of Thirumandhiram is alive till date in the ether. Hence it was declared in Thirumoolar history subheading 85th Thirumandhiram,

“Nan petra inbam peruga ivvaiyagam

Wan patri nindra marai porul sollidien

Voon patri nindra vunarvuru Mandhiram

Than patra patra thalai padum thane”

Thirumoolar observed that the pleasure of acquiring Astamasiddhi as enjoyed by him was available to all in the world. There are no restrictions. The words delivered as Thirumandhiram by Thirumoolar is available in the Ether (Akasam) till date. The meaning and its significance will automatically reach the mind of the person who practices

Thirumandhiram. Thus realization is feasible and available to everyone in the world. Thus the Thirumandhiram was offered to all mankind so that all human being could lead a very happy and holy life and also acquire all pleasures of life and even attain self-realization.

Limitless Possibilities for the Human Being:

It is quite possible for a human being to live in this world for three thousand years. Let us consider a simple calculation. The human body functions by means of current (Electricity), Heat, light, and energy. That is called as Pranan. The Lungs are functioning and respiration takes place making the heart function. So the blood circulates to every part of the body. All the organs are functioning by means of Pranan (Electricity). For example the human being is living because his Lungs are functioning, Heart is functioning, Eyes are watching\seeing, Ears are listening, Thought functioning, Walking, Eating, Digesting, Excretory function, and etc. For all functions current (Pranan) consumption is absolutely necessary for a normal man. Consumption of current (Pranan) may be taken as 100 units per day.

For a Yogi in Samadhi Consumption of current (Pranan) is comparatively very very low to an extent of not even a single unit per day since the bodily functions are kept to the very minimum while in a state of Samadhi.

Whereas a normal man lives for 60 years a Yogi can live ten times over which equals six thousand years! So it is possible to live in the earth for thousands of years by

8

means of maintaining the Samadhi state of mind.

Onru Avan Thane Irandu Avan Innarul

Ninranan Moondrinulj Naangu

Unarndhanan

Aindhu Vendranan Aaru Virindhanan

Ezhu Par Sendranan Than Irundhu

He was essentially one and only one. But he had a duality as he was with his grace. His blessings manifested in three dimensions, namely Athma (Pranan), Body, and Mind.

Realization of the mind was felt in four states, namely consciousness, dream, deep sleep, and super consciousness. He was also seen as one who has won over five instincts five senses and at the same time he was able to extend to the borders of seven worlds and realizing the earth, water, fire, air, space. The secret is that the sun, moon, pranan (Athma) and all the eight are manifest in the body itself. Thus we can define the body and the universe within the numbers one to eight.

Where is Athma? The human body has 2 eyes, 2 ears, 1 nose, and 1 mouth feeling throughout the body. Eyes are the seeing machine. Through the eyes one can be looking into the Athma. Ears are the hearing machines through the ears one can hear the Athma. Lungs are functioning and air coming into the body and going out from the body. How are the lungs functioning? By means of current (Pranan). Tasting takes place by means of tongue and it is Athma which tastes. Whole body is having the sense of feeling. Who realizes the feeling? Once again it is the Athma(Pranan). To whom

does the name of the person belongs. It belongs to the Athma. When I call you by your name who exactly responds? Until Pranan is within your self all the functions take place. So the Pranan is current. If the Pranan leaves the body then there are no functions. The name of the person will be deleted and called as dead body. Every human being is connected with the air by means of respiration. If the body’s connection with air is disconnected then he is dead so pranan is my self. All functions take place in the body by means of pranan which is current that activates.

Even the total universe is functioning by means of Pranan. Sun also is activated by pranan. The pranan (current) is the main reason why the whole universe functions. The planet, revolve by means of pranan, the gravity of earth and other planets are all due to pranan only. Hence pranan is Brahmam.

BRAHMAM: Akasam (Space) provides place for every matters in the universe. The in and out of everything is filled with Akasam (Space). Brahmam cannot and will not act independently. Every thing acts in Akasam(space). By eliminating Akasam and pranan rest could be classified as earth, water, fire, air. Even in these matters pranan is the cause of action. It is so even in the case of animals and plants. The pranan alone is functioning. So the total function is due the presence of pranan (current).

SAIVITE CREEDS

Lord Siva is God, whose Absolute Being, Parasiva, transcends time, form

and space.

God, whose immanent nature of love, Parashakti, is the substratum,

primal substance or pure consciousness flowing through all form as

energy, existence, knowledge and bliss.

Lord Siva is God, whose immanent nature is the Primal Soul, Supreme

Mahadeva, Paramesvara, author of Vedas and Agamas, the creator,

preserver and destroyer of all that exists.

Three worlds: the gross plane, where souls take on physical bodies; the

subtle plane, where souls take on astral bodies; and the causal plane,

where souls exist in their self-effulgent form.

The law of karma that one must reap the effects of all actions he has

caused and that each soul continues to reincarnate until all karmas are

resolved and moksha, liberation, is attained.

Religion is the harmonious working together of the three worlds and

that this harmony can be created through temple worship, wherein the

beings of all three worlds can communicate.

The Panchakshara mantra, the five sacred syllables “Namasivaya,” as

Saivism’s foremost and essential mantra. The secret of Namasivaya is to
