“THE COMPILATION OF SIDDHARGAL POTRI” Preface to English Edition

“The Compilation of Siddhargal Potri” By Sivarajayogi, Paramananda Sadasiva Sarguru His Holiness, Aranga Maha Desiga Swamigal is a unique book of Modern Spiritualism.

Swamiji has taken strides to collect the Siddhas, Saints, Sages, Gnanis, Yogis, Ascetics and Preceptors, Holy Men of Puranas both contemporary and ancient.This clearly indicates the clan of Saints is a continuing process and not confined to ancient ages. Apart from 18 Siddhas, Holy Names of a total of 131 Saints and Sages who have made their stint in spiritual upliftment of ordinary human beings to make them extraordinary have been collected and compiled.

Swamiji has transcended the barriers of caste, creed, religion, region and language very boldly. His brave effort to embrace an universal religion is evident in His collection of Saints. In this mundane world of materialistic bondage a house holder may not be able to go through all the Vedhas and spiritual literature to enhance his spiritualism. But Swamiji comes out with an easy solution with His own experience. Simply invoke the blessings of the Saints who rule and control the world.

As a true personification of Arutprakasa Vallalar Himself, Swamiji shares his spiritual experience and drives home the benefits of keeping and chanting the Holy names of the saints daily. This is the wholesome compassion of Swamiji to the entire living beings of the universe.

The language employed by Swamiji is very simple and can be understood by one and all, intelligible to non-scholorly ordinary human beings. He takes assistance of St. Konganavar, St . Romarishi, St . Thiruvalluvar, St . Thirumoolar,

St. Sivavakkiar, St. Kaduvelichittar, St. Idaikkadar and St. Azhugannar to establish his spiritual stand to make the reader become familiar with Indian theological system of worshipping the holy feet of Great Saints.

Sri Agathiar Sanmarga Sangam, Ongarakudil, Thuraiyur, Trichy District, Tamilnadu is immensely pleased to release this holy universal book in English for the benefit of our overseas brethren.We profoundly thank all the good Samaritans who have stood with us in bringing out this volume successfully and pray unto the Holy feet of our Swamiji to Shower His choicest blessings.Vanchi Offset printers Thuraiyur has once again proved their mettle in bringing out this book with elegance.

SIVARAJAYOGI, PARAMANANDA SADASIVA SARGURU HIS HOLINESS,
ARANGA MAHA DESIGA SWAMIGAL
– A short Biography

Like the new born Sun in the morning spearheading out of the ocean, like that of a fullmoon coming out of dark clouds, like the sweet fragrance sprouting out of blossoming Mullai, Swami was born on 13th January 1936 as the third son to Shri Balakrishnan and Srimathi. Meenakshi Ammal. Swamji led a very simple life right from his childhood days and was not in favour of gaudy and pompous living. At the age of 35 he lost his father. After the demise of his father, his mother Smt. Meenanakshi Ammal was of great assistance to his ascetic life. Swamiji was undertaking the a vocation of a weaver in a small village Manal medu near Eengoimalai. Swamiji understood through the friends of Iraimaiyam that Bakthi alone cannot lead to salvation without Yoga.

In 1955 Shri Chinnasamy Sastri, an exponent of Siddha medicine and Siddha philosophy was worshipping St. Agatheesar and other saints and Swamiji was initiated by him and taught him the methodology of worshipping Saints and the hidden secrets of Idakalai, Pingalai and Suzhumnai. The spiritual thirst of Swamiji grew him up very fast in spiritual awareness. Swamiji was very well aware the predicaments of working class being born as one among them.

The sufferings of poor people in hutments made him sick and he was very much concerned and worried about the hunger of such folks. He found his answer for the reality of human life in the songs of His Holiness Swami Ramalingar. His natural yearning to appease the hunger of the poor was escalated by St.Ramalingar’s mellifluous verses. Swamiji has dedicated his thoughts and life for the spiritual enhancement of the society for the past 50 years. In the name St. Agatheesar, the Meru of Gnanis, Swamiji established a Charitable Trust for the benefit of poor. Swamiji is the Centre of peace and solace for all those approach Him.

Ongarakudil has been alleviating the sufferings of Thousands of devotees daily and has undertaken the noble task of feeding the poor right from 1975. The Kudil has been supplying free drinking water for the past Thirty years to all the villages in and around Thuraiyur. Thousands of marriages have been arranged for the poor by Him and ray of hope and lively hood has been extended by His Holiness. His holy mother attained celestial abode on 18-06-1995.

His Holiness always claims that whatever He does has been done only with the blessings of St.Agatheesa and He always places blessed Souls like St. Agatheesar, St. Nandeesar, St. Tirumoola Thevar and St. Karuvoorthevar as His Guide. As a descendent of St. Ramalingar. Swamiji to day is the leader of the entire universe, and is the leader of nine crore Siddhas. He worships St. Agatheesa who created Tamil language as his preceptor. In colleges and universities social service and philosophy are taught only in class rooms but the Ongarakudil has taken them to the neighbourhood of Thuraiyur through their efforts to feed the poor and needy and supply of free potable water which is more essential for day to day livelihood.

Sri Agathiar Sanmarga Sangam is a symbol of universal fraternity and the relationship between the Preceptor and His disciples are exceptionally parental. The disciples go to villages and disseminate the message of Compassion, Love, Affection sins of killing and vegetarianism.

Swamiji is easily accessible and is a source of solace for all the suffering living beings. Swamiji’s literary acumen even without elementary school education is extraordinary and is evident in the introduction to present text. By His appeal to humanity Swamiji proves Himself to be a champion of all living beings.

The benefits for the servitors who recite the compilation of Siddhargal potri daily

The 131 Siddhars mentioned above are the Saints who have attained full ‘Bliss’. The greatest knowledge is the thought to pray and get their blessings.

If we sit on a white cloth on level ground, lighting a lamp and fragrant incense stick and recite Siddhargal potri for thirty minutes in the morning and evening all our past sins get absolved as that of mist in the morning Sun.

If one continues this, there will be peace in his family. Noble children will be born. He will get good health and long life. The delayed marriage for his children will take place immediately. Loans will be cleared and wealth will increase.

Further, agriculture, business and job will flourish without interruption. The evil habits of taking liquor, eating meat and gambling if present will vanish. Moreover the realization of “meat eating after killing” as a sin will dawn.

If one continues the recitation of ‘Siddhargal potri’, he shall be able to discriminate the act as evil and virtue before it is done. When this realization dawns on them, it can be sworn that they will become Gnanis immediately.

Further, they will take care of their parents, wife, brothers, sisters and friends feed them and earn their good will. This is wisdom! Penance is nothing but worshipping the Holy Feet of enlightened Sage Agatheesar. To perform this, one requires the support of the members of the family and friends. That is why it has been advised to earn their good-will. They

will inherit virtue by offering feast to their dear and near ones and appease the hunger of the poor and needy. The reciters of the ‘Siddhargal potri’ will get the special knowledge of the body and soul. They will also understand that the infirmities of the body cause infirmity to the soul and also generate ignorance. Once they realize that for ignorance, the infirmities of the body are responsible, with the help of Agatheesar, they will get the wisdom of removal of the three infirmities [Mummala] of the body, can remove the infirmity of the soul also. If the soul gets cleansed, ignorance will vanish and wisdom will set in. Only such people will get salvation from the birth.

The 131 Sages mentioned above are the Most Compassionate. If we worship them continuously, we shall

become compassionate to all beings. We shall get the noble idea of appeasing the hunger of the hungry poor and thus seek salvation from the births. We will be made to understand that the entire human race are the children of ‘Arutperunjothi Andavar’. Naturally fraternity dawns. Amongst people with fraternity there exists no racial discrimination and social discrimination. At all times they move with one another open heartedly and enhance the friendship. They will not hurt the feeling of others with their words. They will help others to make them happy and speak pleasantly with others and get the blessings of many.

Unbecoming characteristics like Jealousy, Greed, Wild Anger and Harsh Words leave away automatically for the servitors who chant this Pottri Thoguppu continuously. It is certain to reach new heights once these four baser

characteristics leave. Moreover the evil characteristics wrought through the past misdeeds, like discarding worthy friends and liking unworthy friends will not remain.

They will take decisions patiently. They will not suspect anything without analyzing deeply. Suspicion is the root cause of ceaseless births. One will be made to realize that treating good people for bad people and vice versa is the root cause of ceaseless births.

Note. 1. If the people who undertake a travel keep this ‘Siddhargal potri compilation’, book in their pockets, no accident will occur. No harm will happen to them on account of evil spirits, wild animals or poisonous creatures. Thieves and enemies will not harm them.

Note. 2. If the students recite ‘Siddhargal potri compilation’, promotion in their education and employment Opportunity will take place.

Note. 3. ‘Siddhargal Potri compilation’ is a boon to the spiritualists who long for salvation. If they recite this, they will get relieved of the sins of previous births and get proper orientation and knowledge for attaining salvation. Moreover no obstacles will be there for them to attain BLISS.

Note.4. If the persons suffering from chronic ailments or incurable diseases, touch, worship and chant this divine book daily and feed the hungry poor, they will be cured of such incurable diseases and get longevity of life.

Note. 5. If the people in the Government and its officials recite ‘Siddhargal Potri compilation’, Gnanis will bless them to run the Administration effectively. If people holding high positions like the Prime Minister or the Chief Ministers recite this book, there will be regular monsoon rains in the jurisdiction under their rule and the country will become prosperous. Moreover there will not be any harm to their rule owing to conspiracies of their enemies. If they continue to recite this, they will gain good and matured statesmen as friends. Compassion is an essential character for the people holding high places. Gnanis will bless these people with such maturity.

Note. 6. Such of those who chant ‘Siddhargal Potri compilation’ continuously, then that will make them to discern whether their deeds are just or unjust.

The 131 Sages mentioned above have done acts of virtues (Punniyam). None can become a Gnani without doing acts of virtue. The best virtue is to worship the Holy Feet of such Gnanis who have attained Bliss with immeasurable acts of virtues (Virtues/ punniyam). One gets the virtue of a year’s penance if he reads this book at least once a day. Moreover if anyone feeds a poor once a month, apart from getting virtues, it is certain, Gnana will also materialize.

Some spiritualists of this world will yearn to show Bakthi for attaining salvation from this birth. But some may not know as to how and whose Holy Feet to worship, for salvation from this birth. If only they know whose Holy Feet is to be worshipped to attain salvation, they can get salvation by worshipping such Holy Feet with reverence. The names of 131 Sages have been serialized in this book. It is our experience that the worship of the Holy Feet of these Saints is the proper assistance for

salvation from this birth. ‘Siddhargal Potri Compilation ‘points out very clearly to the doubtful aspirants as to which path is the right one. This ‘Siddhargal Potri Compilation’ is a rare treasure for the spiritualists. This is a guide for the aspirants longing for BLISS.

Therefore, it is impossible to measure and express the glory attained by people who recite ‘Siddhargal Potri Compilation’ daily morning and evening. So glorious is ‘Siddhargal Potri Compilation’. So, we appeal everyone to recite this book daily and attain salvation from this birth. Here is an illustration:

“As counting those that from the earth have passed away, ’Tis vain attempt the might of holy men to say.”
Thirukkural- 22.

To describe the measure of the greatness of those who have forsaken the two-fold desires, is like counting the dead. If we list out the glories of the renouncers, it will be equal to the task of listing out the persons who have died in this world so far.

Verse of Universal Saint Thirumoolar
Greatness of Gnana of Holy Feet
Gnana of Holy Feet makes you Siva,
Gnana of Holy Feet takes you to world of Siva,

Gnana of Holy Feet free you from imprisoning impurities, Gnana of Holy Feet is Siddhi and Mukti too.
Thirumanthiram : Thiruvavadipperu 1598.

Gnana of Holy Feet makes you Siva: Knowledge of Holy Feet makes one Sivamayam.

Gnana of Holy Feet takes you to world of Siva: Knowledge of the Holy Feet takes one to celestial abode of Lord Siva.
Gnana of Holy Feet free you from imprisoning impurities:

Knowledge of the Holy Feet relieves Soul from the fetters of impurities.

Gnana of Holy Feet is Siddhi and Mukti too: Knowledge of the Holy Feet gives Siddhi and Mukti.

Gnana of Holy Feet: Benefit of ‘Thiruvadi Theetcha’ has been said like that.

Note : The Holy Feet of St.Thirumoolar only can make us Sivamayam; Only that can take us to the celestial abode of Siva; Only that can get us rid of the fetters of the impurities. Only that can give us the powerful Siddhi and Mukthi.

Lord’s Feet is the Final Refuge of Souls Illumed
The Holy Feet is Siva, if you but analyse

The Holy Feet is Siva’s world, if you but think, The Holy Feet is Freedom’s bliss, truth to say, The Holy Feet is the final refuge for souls illumed.
Thirumanthiram – Upathesam – 138

The Holy Feet is Siva, if you but know: If you analyze, the effulgent feet alone is Siva.

The Holy Feet is Siva’s world, if you but think: If you think over, that effulgence is the world Siva dwells.

The Holy Feet is Freedom’s bliss, truth to say: If it is to be said that effulgence is the means to reach Him.

There is the final refuge for souls illumed: For people with inward eye that effulgence is the refuge.

Feet : Divine blessing, Effulgence. The Holy utterance

of St.Thirumoolar is worth referring here, “THE FORM OF LIGHT IS LIGHT ONLY IF YOU UNDERSTAND”. It is absolutely clear that the Holy Feet of Guru [Sage] is the path to Sivalokam, Sivam and Refuge.

Note : “Anma” (Soul) is imprisoned in the iron fort of three ‘malas’ or impurities. If “Anma” is to be released, the blessing of Saint Thirumoolar who is present even before one thinks must be there. Otherwise, one cannot release the “Anma” from the iron fort, the Body.

If one analyses the means to get salvation from the birth, that is the Holy Feet of Saint Thirumoolar only. If one thinks further and becomes clear it will be made to understand that His Holy Feet alone are Sivalokam. That alone will be the proper support to

reach Bliss. Moreover those are the wonderful Holy Feet which bless us “Thou shalt not Fear” when we encounter obstacles during our penance. That is the Holy Feet of the Saint Thirumoolar. Those who worship His Feet are Virtuous.

St.Thirumoolathevar knows the three phases of time. He stands by us always and helps us. You worship Him. You will know the truth.

Master Nandi Ended My Birth-Cycle

He placed his haloed Feet on my head He fixed his benign gaze on me
and he granted me the Form Mighty,

He, mine Nandi Great;-I saw him, my monarch, in Guru Form, and saw the end of all births to come

Thirumanthiram 1597

He placed his haloed Feet on my head: Decorated my head with His Holy Feet. i.e offering the divine powers.

He fixed his benign gaze on me : and gazed at me with merciful eyes. Establishing power to disciples through sight, the Holy touch and Merciful look are “Initiation of Gnosis”.

And he granted me the Form Mighty : the omnipresent and who gave the mighty form.

He, mine Nandi Great : I saw Nandi the great in the form of my Guru
I saw him, my monarch, in Guru Form : I Saw my King.

And saw the end of all births to come : I saw the means of birth is dried up.

Note: If we worship the Guru Thirumoolathevar, he will descend on us internally and externally, activate the ‘Idakalai’ (breath through left nostril) and ‘Pingalai’ (breath through right nostril) and make them merge in ‘Suzhimunai’ (midst of the forehead at the center of the eyebrows). That will gift us ‘Kayasiddhi’ (Immortal Body). That will be the way of getting rid of all our births. Hence Bakthi alone can give us Siddhi and Mukthi.Therefore,
The greatest in the world is Bakthi
The followers be bestowed with Mukthi
The Bakthi with the grace of Lord Siva
Doth offer great powers of Eight Sidhis.
Saint Kaduvelisiddhar

Explanation: The yoga without devotion is useless.

The rotten seed will not sprout.

Those without devotion will not attain Enlightenment or Eternal Bliss. If the Guru tells the meaning of the Vedhas heard over years One will understand the true meaning easily.
Saint Idaikkadar

Explanation: Those who do not worship the feet of Saint Idaikkadar cannot understand Bakthi (devotion) and the method of practicing Bakthi(true devotion).If one worships the Holy Feet of Saint Idaikkadar daily, he will preach to us the hidden meaning of the Vedhas which cannot be heard and understood from others.

Note : As a rotten seed will not germinate, the person without devotion cannot attain ‘Gnanam’ (Salvation).

The protectors Karuvoorar, Boganathar,
Merciful Agatheesar, Sattainathar,
Elderly Konganar, Brahmasidhar,
Important Machamuni, Nandhithevar,
Most respectable Korakkar, Pathanjaliyar,
Most wisdomful Idaikkadar, Chandikesar,
The pioneers of alchemy,
Vasamuni, Kamalamuni are our armour.
Saint Romarishi

If one recites the poem mentioned above daily, he will acquire many benefits.

“I shall tell thee now Oh my Mother The path to attain Bliss
Thou shalt worship Nandi , Thirumoolar ,
Kalangi, Nadhandha Bhogar, Oh my Mother Sakthi Chidambaram,

Pray Satta Muni, Kongana the great, pray merrily Karuvoorar, Anandar
Those who realise this path

If thou pray in unison all these Oh! my Mother Even the most sinful will attain the Eternal Bliss I thus revealed what I saw”
St. Azhugannar 6

Note.1. Instead of wasting time by reading so many books, if one worships considering Saint Thirumoolathevar as his Mother, Father, Guru and God, he will understand the subtle secrets not found and understood in reading many other books. One must be fortunate to have Guru’s preaching to understand this. Or he must have the divine ‘Siddhargal Potri Compilation’. The real knowledge is to identify as to who is the Gnani. The special knowledge is to worship their Holy Feet after such identification. He can only get us rid of this birth.

Note.2. “Anma” (Soul) is imprisoned in this body, the constitution of three ‘malas’ (Impurities). If the body of three malas is set at nought, the “Anma” will be released. If the body is to be devoid of Malas one shall have the blessings of St. Thirumoolar who has successfully cleansed the Mummalas of the body. Without His grace, the stain of three malas will not vanish. If malas vanish, the mala of mind and that of soul will vanish.

Note.3. A man must understand his body and soul. Such a man alone is an enlightened man. If a man does not know this, whatever might have been his learning may not be considered as literate. If a man wants to learn the art of deathlessness one must learn the art of deathlessness and attain salvation from this birth, one must have the blessings of St. Thirumoolar.

Note.4. He is the virtuous man who has understood that this birth can be got rid of only with the grace of Guru.

Note.5. A man who thinks that for advancement, the grace of a Guru is not essential and his education alone is enough is chaff among men.

Note.6. A man is virtuous if he is able to identifying a genuine Guru and get His blessings. Only Virtuous men get the blessings of a genuine Guru. Non virtuous Men cannot identify the real Guru. Even if they identify them, they cannot get their blessings.

Do not Give to Unworthy; the Giver and the Receiver Both Reach Hell
You may give away wealth
As massive as a mountain;
Yet if you give it
To those that adore not our Lord,
You shall with them reach
The Seventh Hell of ineffable pain.
Thirumanthiram 508

If any family folk offer materials to Spiritualists who have not understood that St.Agastheesar is the Chief of Gnosis and not worship Him, the folk who offer such materials and those who accept will land in “Hell”.

Holy Guru Shows the Way

The countless Devas worshipped Siva; What becomes them

By worshipping Him? Far better it be,

That you worship the Holy Guru —Who, having himself worshipped Lord Shows the Way of Becoming, too;
Sure, indeed, is your Mukti finite.
Thirumanthiram 2119

Crores of people are worshipping Lord Siva. As they are doing without knowing who Lord Siva is, they are not able to reap the spiritual gains . Understanding the preceptor St.Agatheesar as Lord Siva and worship Him one can get all

the spiritual benefits. Moreover the Gnana materializes and Deathless Great life also can be attained.
Adore Siva and Be Immortal

The pious mortals who praise the Supreme Lord, In time to come, to the Immortals’ status rises;

Who fail not in penance, His smiling Grace receive; Thus the Lord of penances rare awards the Supreme prize.
Thirumanthiram 303

If a lofty laudation is sung on St. Agatheesar the great, even ordinary man becomes an extraordinary person. Not only that if anyone worships and with true heart eulogizes St. Agatheesar he can become a Gnani also. St.Agatheesar blesses those who praise Him. He also blesses who have heard and worships him. Hence it is certain that whoever praises St. Agatheesar with true heart will become a “Gnani”.

How the Gnana Guru Instructs
He humbles before Divine Guru

In postures five (sensual organs) ordained; He bewails his faults,
Praises Master’s virtues;

Guru then shows the way of deliverance from mortal prison And imparts Siva Gnana
He is truly the Guru that is of Sanmarga (Gnana Guru).
Thirumanthiram 1701

Let us Hail the Holy Feet of St. Thirumoolar and get salvation from this birth.

All the 131 Saints in this book are very Great Gnanis who have attained consummate ‘Bliss’. The principal among them are St. Agatheesar, St. Nandeesar, St. Tirumoolathevar,

St. Bogar, and St. Karuvoor Munivar. The 131 Siddhars mentioned above are Saints. The greatest knowledge is – the thought to pray and get their blessings.

If we sit on a white cloth on level ground, lighting a lamp and recite “Siddhargal potri” for thirty minutes in the morning and evening there will be peace in the family. Noble children will be born. Liabilities will be cleared and wealth will increase.

He will get good health and long life . Further, agriculture, business and job will flourish without interruption. If the people who undertake a travel keep this ‘Siddhargal Potri compilation’, book in their pockets, no accident will occur. No harm will happen to them on account of evil spirits, wild animals or poisonous creatures. Thieves and enemies will not harm them. Whatever we yearn will materialize without any

interruption. Hence this ‘Siddhargal Potri compilation’ shall be felt and chanted daily. All the 131 saints are “Gnanis” who have attained “Deathless Grand Life”. Chanting of their Holy names again and again dispels ignorance and pure knowledge appears. If one continues the recitation of ‘Siddhargal potri’, he shall be able to discriminate the act as evil and virtue before it is done. When this realization dawns on them, they will become Gnanis.

‘Sanmargam’ is creation of happiness for all beings by one’s thought, word and deed. ‘Thunmargam’ or evil way is the creation of harm to all beings by one’s thought, word and deed.

It is good to get virtue by doing ‘ANNADHANAM’ (Poor Feeding). But still better is living without killing any beings and practicing vegetarianism.

Those who want to attain salvation must follow not only the principles outlined above in this book but also chant the Holy name of the Immaculate Blissful Agatheesar for 10 minutes every morning and evening by “Om Agatheesaya Namah” which not only absolves the past acts of demerits but also “Gnana” dawns.
THIS IS OUR EXPERIENCE.
