TO GENERATE AWARENESS ON UNIVERSAL MAN AND UNIVERSAL VISION OF TAMIL SIDDHARS....... I TRIED BUT BOOTED OUT

Tamil the oldest classical language had been enriched by grammarians, poets, saints, singers and scholars at various periods of Tamil literary history. Special classification of some of the epoch making times in Literature such as Sangam Literature, Bhakthi Literature, Siddhar Literature, Modern Literature and even Post-Modern Literature illuminates this living classical language. But of these Siddhar Literature is the least discussed in scholarly world. But its glory is hidden in poems written in twilight language.

The grievance that all Siddhar poems were yet to be compiled in complete collections echoed in sixties of last century remains alive even in 21^st century.

 Collection of Palm leaf texts made by Thanjai Tamil University or Saraswathy Mahal library are yet to be deciphered and the hidden meaning of preparation of medicines that can cure incurable diseases have to be highlighted before the scholarly world globally. Apart from that all these palm leaf texts needs to be digitized. Even books that had been published have yet to see re-print or lost in the ravages of times in many homes and those publications that brought out such rare books have downed their shutters. During colonial period many palm leaf texts fortunately have been taken to foreign countries, where it has been preserved in various archives. Western world had invented and patented many medicines made by using the intellectual property of Tamil Siddhars. Even a History of such Cross Cultural Travel on Indigenous Knowledge had yet to be written. 

TAMIL SIDDHAR’s PHILOSOPHY

 In this century there is keen awareness to debate discuss and deliberate on Siddhar Literature.

 Former President of India Dr.Sarvapalli Radhakrishnan wrote two volumes on Indian Philosophy. In terms of philosophical world view the world [matter or nature] is everything that exists outside the world of and independently from man, while man is part of the world. But man is a very special part of It , one that thinks and cognizes the whole of which it is a part and transforms it in accordance with its own social nature and the level of knowledge acquired. The relation between this part and whole determines, in the final  analysis, the entire specificity of philosophical problems, the relations between being and thinking , between object and subject, matter and consciousness, nature and spirit, nature and society, society and man etc.

 MYSTICS, TAMIL ALPHABETS AND  HIDDEN TRUTH IN SIDDHAR LITERATURE.

So in this background the Mystical Aspects of Alphabets be it in Sanskrit and Tamil needs deepest research and comparison. Etymological study and Comparative Linguistics must unravel the mystery of the mystical aspects in Tamil language or in classical languages of humanity

The debate over numbers of Siddhars ,whether it should be limited to 18 or include all Siddhars in Tamil Language and trace at the roots of their source in All India perspective whether Bengal influences or North Indian influences enriched Siddhar traditions be undertaken. 

This Scholars must focuses on Mystical Aspects of Tamil Alphabets, the Hidden Truths expressed in Twilight Language or Sandyabasha as said in Sanskrit. 

The interaction between Tamil Chinese medicines be comparatively analysed by various Universities since two of Tamil Siddhars Bhogar and Pulipaani are by some scholars claimed to be of Chinese origins.

Since as Visiting Researcher in 2016 for 5 months only I did research on the  Hindu–Buddhist-Jain connections to Siddhar Literature, the cultural exchange between India and China and South East Asia where the Martial arts, Medicines, Yoga systems show striking similarity and cross cultural connectivity , I am personally seeking resources materials, books to write the thesis on Siddhar Literature in the Historical Perspective with Scientific Outlook, and took up this opportunity to write to you . Tamil Chinese- Buddhist connectivity and Tamil-Jain contributions to Tamil Literature should be focussed and quest to place history on the basis of truth is need of the hour.

Humanity had craved for disease free world and various medical systems evolved in various cultures be it Arabic or Chinese or Sanskrit or Tamil cultures. And there are hidden truths about inventions in every culture. From Thirumoolar’s Yoga to Chinese Falun Dafa yoga similarities have to be studied. We intend to generate awareness on Universal Man and Universal Vision of Tamil Siddhars to redeem humanity from illness of body and mind and inculcate in minds aspirations beyond galaxies.

Since the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s suggestion to name a International Yoga Day had been accepted by UNESCO, it would be appropriate that Saint Thirumoolar, the father figure of all Yoga schools be honoured by publishing Thirumoolar’s Tamil book Thirumanthiram and researches by scholars on Thirumanthiram be activated and apart from, translating at least the salient features of this great book to make it known to other cultures with which India had interacted over centuries .
