"In ways diverse, do seek the Absolute
Penetrating the Lotus within and going beyond,
You shall reach the celestial world,
Drunk of the nectar there
You shall return
Sweet, sweet exceedingly indeed,
It is! "
-Siddhar Thirumulanathar
"Humanity at large is of one clan and the differences in the
religions are superfluous, for God, the creator is one and the same" says Thirumular, the reputed author of Thirumanthiram, the first and unique treatise in Tamil on yoga. Siddhar Thirumulanathar who gave us the famous dictum 'Anbe Shivam? (God is love), the author of Thirumanthiram was the
disciple of Nandhinathar.

Siddhar Thirumulanathar is revered as the "Grandfather" by
all the other Siddhars who attained the body of Light. His transforming
wisdom written as Thirumandiram has guided innumerous seekers to
enlightenment and beyond over several thousands of years.
|
| This painting became a reality through the guiding grace of
this ancient primal Guru, with the mind in stillness and the knowing beyond
breath. Siddhar Thirumulanathar brings His presence to our reality through
the "Arakara" mantra that Siddhar Ayya initiates, hence, the special meaning
and joy for me! |
