AN EYE OPENER TO LIFE & PROSPERITY

What is Prosperity?
To combine into one is Prosperity. But true prosperity is got by combining / fusing the
intellectual mind with matters and things which are intellectual. This is the way shown by
siddhars known as sivayogam. Let us see now the difference between the prosperity shown
by the siddhars and the prosperity we talk about generally.

We generally praise those who have gained high place in the society as prosperous
{Rajayogam} and wealthy. But a few years later the person may lose all his wealth and name
in the society. Is this the actual prosperity? No. Then what is the cause for this? It is fate.
We generally find a less experienced and less hard working person being rich and happy. But
the same is reverse for a person who does a lot of hard work and has good experience. The
siddhar way of prosperity is that which shows how to overcome our fate by means of
meditation and to achieve grace, wealth and prosperity in life. Let us now experience this
way of prosperity by few examples:
A tree is cut and its wood is used to make a chair. Nails join the pieces of wood. Here two
non-intellectual things are joined. But there is no experience gained in this process.
There is no experience even if a flower or a fruit is kept on this chair. An intellectual
person eats and enjoys the taste of this fruit. His hunger gets over. Thus a non-intellectual
fruit joins with an intellectual person, gaining the person but without any gain to the fruit.

A person who eats this fruit marries a girl. Both of them enjoyed having sexual intercourse
many times. But the happiness got by it was short listed. Because of this they lose their
strengths and finally pain and death comes to them. In the about said example, two
intellectual things join but still a thorough long steady happiness if not found. The same
person because of his grace and devotion realizes himself and attains his good self. And the
grace of his guru, and his guru shows the Shivam and the person realizes the shivam and
himself and combines himself with the evergodly gracious shivam. When does he combine?
Is after his death... "No". He experiences it during his life and his thinking in only on shivam.
He becomes the real intellectual and really experiences the happiness and enjoyment in
spite of having vast riches and wealth. It is this that Thirumoolar said in this
Thirumandiram that chanting Siva Siva will make the devar’s and what is Siva – Siva, it
actually means Sivagadhi. Never believe in "Motcha after death" as explained by people who
have attained enlightenment. A guru is a person who makes one realize "Shivam". A siddhar
is a person who brings you out of the darkness into the light of wisdom.

A 5 years old kid to an 80-year-old aged person can experience the Sivayogam showed by
Siddhars. But it is well experienced between the ages of 20 to 60. Both men and women can
experience this yogam.

MEDITATION & DEVOTION – Is it necessary for humans beings?

This is the only way for a person to attain deathless life.

Today’s human life is moving at high pace and the expectations are more. To cope up with
this is very difficult. Because of this a person gets confused and also feels worried and sad.
This sadness and confusion can be overcome by meditation.

If a requirement / needs / wants is added (+) and if desire is multiplied (x) then happiness
becomes minus (-) / subtracted. In today’s world, having vast riches, wealth, status, post &
name, there is no peace of mind. Some of them get diseased due to undisciplined practice of
meditation. In spite of good wealth, he could get good education due to lack memory. He
gets worried. He could not give birth to a child. The only way to remove all the above said
diseased or handicaps is "The Sivagadhi shown by Siddhars" Come and experience the good.
THE RIGHT WAY TO MEDITATE / TIPS FOR DOING MEDITATION
Meditation must be done in a clean private room with no or less number pictures or posters
in the room. This helps in attaining best results out of your meditation and for leading a
graceful life with the blessings of god.
You must maintain a separate dress for meditation. You use a limited number of scented
incense sticks of good quality during meditation. An asana stool made of teak wood (if
possible made up of single wood plank is best) or (Manja Kadambu) can be used. Or a cloth
spread with single / less number of colors can be used. A calm place is necessary. If your
surroundings are noisy & disturbing, you can meditate when it is calm.

Good results are obtained if you meditate in dim light.

Certain meditations may require bright light, which will be specified separately.

You should meditate after fishing your nature calls and cleaning yourself.

You should feel and experience through your body & soul, as if you are entering a place of
worship.

Offer flowers to the portrait of your guru or a god of your liking, then offer some
prasadam and light camphor before starting meditation.

Now sit on the Aasana / or on the cloth spread.

Then think your guru and god and pray "The almighty guru and the almighty God – let love
and grace be filled in my body and soul. Let everyone in this world be filled with your grace".

Now concentrate and think that this day must be a good day for you and everyone in this
world. Then say "Let love and grace be filled everywhere" three times.

Now you can sing a devotional song to the almighty god. You can sing songs sung by others or
a song created by you. There is no need for Music / Rhythm, but the song must come from
the deep of your heart. Why should you sing? By singing your body gets calm, steady, you
can control your thoughts easily. By praising the god you get their blessings. The Kundalini
rises easily and fast. Tiredness goes, you are relieved of phlegm (kabam, the prime reason
for death, breathing disorders and aging), your body is fully energized, your knowledge
increases in you and you feel the happiness in life. These can be experienced practically.

After singing, sit down straight without bending you head, neck, chest or your back in
Sithaasana, Padmaasana or Suga aasana.

Now start the process on NADI SUTHI. Now close your left nostril with your right hand
ring finger and breathe through your right nostril slowly for eight seconds.

Then close your right nostril with your right hand thumb and breathe slowly through your
left nostril for 8 seconds. The above muse is done separately for 32 times.

During the above process 11 & 12, you must close your eyes and concentrate between your
eyebrows. When you breathe out think that all bad thoughts, diseases and unawareness are
released out from you.
You must do the above daily.

Why should I do ‘NADI SUTHI’ ?

There are 72000 nerves in our body. We can realize this clearly by experience through our
nostrils. If the breathing is done by the right nostril it is called as Surya Kalai. It is also
know as Iravi, Pinkalai. If the breathing takes place through the left nostril it is called as
Chandra Kalai, also known as Idakalai, Mathi. The breathing process shifts between
Suryakalai & Chandrakalai every two hours. The breathing starts in Suryakalai on Sundays,
Tuesday & Saturday. And on Monday, Wednesday & Friday the breathing starts in Chandra
Kalai. The breathing starts in Suryakalai on Thursdays falling on days after full moon and in
Chandrakalai on Thursdays falling on days before New moon. Each of the five elements
(Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Space) induces energy into the breathing from the time of
birth to death. This is repeated for every 2 hours. [NAZHIGAI – 24 minutes – it is the max
wavelength a human mind can travel at any point of time]. If we control this, we can realize
and discipline your thoughts and mind. IF the breath rung thorough your both nostrils it is
called KEVALA SUZHU MANAI, and if your breath stops at your navel it is called PURANA
SUZHU MANAI or PURANAM. PURANA SUZHU MUNAI is the best for meditation.
KEVALA SUZHU MUNAI brings sadness, worry and frustration in life. So during periods of
KEVALA SUZHU MUNAI do not involve yourself in constructive works. If we control your
breathing then diseases get removed, your brain nerves and ductless glands become purified
and work actively. Your thinking will be towards good maters, bad thoughts get removed and
your body cells open and brighten up. Thus leading to a healthy prosperous and
knowledgeable life. I think you would have understood the necessity of NADI SUTHI.

NADI SUTHI – SECOND STEP

When we talk of second, what immediately strikes every mind is the 18 steps to Lord
Ayappa Temple at Sabarimalai, likewise there are steps inside everybody and Lord Ayappa
as Manikandan always resides between one eye brows. There are 4 steps in SARIYAI namely
KIRIYAI in SARIYAI, YOGAM in SARIYAI, GNANAM in SARIYAI. Similarly, there are 4
steps in KIRIYAI too. There are also 4 steps in YOGAM AND 4 steps in GNANAM totaling
to 16 steps. If GNANAM, the 16th step of GNANAM in its true sense is achieved. Then one
gets raised to the 17 step of GNANAM called as ARULNILAI [Spiritually illumined state].
If in this state one removes / loses the ego resolving "I" in him and shows compassion to
every being through his words, action and his thoughts and thus changing himself to wholly
compassionate form. He experiences the divine power god in himself and thus moves to the
18th step.

Lord Ayappa tamed the uncontrollable ferocious tiger, and also milked the tiger and rode on
it to bring the milk. What is the actual meaning of this? Prana (Breathing) is like the
ferocious tiger with its rage finally brings our own demise. But if we learn to control and
tame this ferocious tiger namely Prana with the guidance of our guru and through one’s
untiring effort ultimately milk the Divinely Amirtham (nectar).
In Siddhar’s secret language Suvasam (Breath) means legs. If you tie these legs and control
the Suvasam we can realize the Prana and Athitha (very special and divine) power filled in
this world. A scientist knows that all particles are made from small units of atoms. Like this
if one realizes the Prana in him, the five elements of the earth comes under his control. The
Jeevan cow combines with the godly ox here. Selfishness, Self Prestige, Kanman and Mayai
get removed and the world will praise him. You can become Manikandan if you contain the
Virthu sakthi between your eyebrows realizing your Sinmuthrai, Adayakara and Natham.

Let us now come to the exercise.

The second stage of Nadi Suthi must be done only after thoroughly understanding and
practicing the first stage. As before sit on the mattress either in Simaasana or Padmaasana
position.
Close your left nostril using your right ring finger and breath out slowly through your right
nostril for 8 seconds. This is called RASHAKAM.
Now breathe in slowly through your right nostril for 4 seconds This is called PURAKAM.
While concentrating, close both your nostrils (your right nostril with your right thumb) for
16 seconds. This is called KUMBAKAM.
Now open your left nostril by removing our right ring finder and breathe out full through
left nostril for 8 seconds. You should fully breathe out / exhale the air in your lungs. This
can be done by pressing your stomach.
Now through left nostril slowly inhale for 4 seconds. Then close your left nostril with your
right hand finger for 16 seconds and concentrate. That is you are repeating the Kumbakam
stage.
Now open your right nostril alone by removing your right thumb and exhale for 8 seconds.
And then immediately inhale for 4 seconds. Close your right nostril again with your right
thumb.
With both nostrils closed, repeat the kumbakam stage again. step 3.
Do Rashakam through your left nostril for 8 seconds. Then do Purakam for 4 seconds, then
Kumbakam for 16 seconds. Repeat Rashakam and Purakam through your right nostril and
then again do Kumbakam.
Your have to repeat this exercise for atleast 16 times. If you are not able to do Kumbakam
for 16 seconds, then reduce Rashakam and Purakam proportionately as given below.
Kumbakam Rashakam Purakam
16 8 4
8 4 2
32 16 8
You can do Kumbakam to maximum 32 seconds.

IMPORTANT TIPS TO FOLLOWED DURING THIS PRACTISE :

You should sit straight without bending your neck or your back. If you do so there is not use
from doing this exercise.

You should face East or North while doing this exercise.

While doing Rashakam, that is when you exhale, your mind must think that your diseases,
evils, bad thoughts, are being released out of your body through your breath.

While doing Purakam, that is when you inhale, your mind should think that the God’s Grace,
Blessings and pure (Amudham) air are being absorbed by your body.

While doing Kumbakam, think that your body is being filled with God’s Grace and Blessings
and pure air and health.

The thinking of the mind is very powerful. So if think as said above while doing the exercise,
you can experience the changes in you practically.

After doing this exercise, close your eyes and concentrate for at least five minutes. You can
think of the Mantra ‘OM". There is no need to say any other Mantra or to do any actions.

After finishing the exercise, spread out your legs a sit for 2 minutes. You can massage your
legs if they pain. This exercise must be continuously done for 48 days, two times a day, in
the morning and evening.

You can sing / listen to devotional songs, read religious / spiritual books or books written by
saints.

You should write down your experiences during the exercise in a book and showed to your
guru. He helps you in getting a lot of explanations to your queries and knowledge thus
increasing your knowledge as well as your way of doing the exercise.

I feel sad for those people of different sects and religion that they have not got any
benefits from doing Nadisuthi, event though they do so thinking it is their Pranayamam.
Then what is the real Pranayamam?

My dearest devotee, I request you to go through the following thoroughly and understand
it. You should also experience and research within yourself what is said below and attaint
the boon of life after death. This is my humble request.

I am going to share with you certain details and experiences which are very useful and
which have not been explained by others with the blessings of my guru.
WHAT IS URUTHARITHA NADI?
Suzhuna Nadi is the mother of all nadis. You can live with your same body for countless
years, if the Suzhumunai Nadi combines with the Suzhuna Nadi.

"There is no end to one’s life. But his body will die" – is what many people say. But Lord Yama
is one takes the life from these people too. But Siddhars are those who win over yama live
with their divine bodies. "The art of deathless life" is what these Siddhars teach secretly
to their disciples. A person who masters this art realizes the power of Prana that control
the five elements of Earth and Power of Prana in him. If a person learns to control his mind
he will be able the mind of any other person. He gets the power of controlling Prana in him.
Hence he is also able to control the Prana of the five elements. This power can be used to
do a lot of good and of course evil things can also be done. My desire is that a person who
attains this power must use it for the good of others.

The unborn child lives in the Subhuman Nadi of its mothers stomach. This is the Moolam
(staring point). When the child is born into this world, the outer air pressures and the
swasam coming out of the nostril ends at a limit. At once the child cries. The life sakthi
goes to the child through the mothers naval. Hence life comes to the child only through
umbilical cord. Hence the starting of the Vritharitha Nadi is the naval. The control of this
lies at the end of your spinal cord. It looks like a snake sleeping inside a triangle. This runs
like a generator.
ONCE AGAIN – For your kind attention

Before meditating in early mornings, finish your nature calls.

Mediate after 3 hours of having food.

Donate food and money to the needy and poor as much as you can.

Help others as much as you can.

If possible you can serve food and donate clothes to sadhus.

Show love and faith in God. Sing from your heart.

Be truthful and faithful to your guru. Think and treat him as your father and help and
worship him.

Write down doubts, experiences and your needs in a book or a diary. Clear these with your
guru as and when possible.

The faith and offerings to your guru and to divine people and the help done by you to elders
and handicaps will raise you in your life.

Before eating / drinking, bring some of the food straight between your eyebrows and say
(aloud within yourself) Guruarpanam, Athmaarpanam, Sivaarpanam.

Your guru must be a person, who has attained the state of god. ( )

In the initial stages think of a god of your will while meditating. Later this idol worship will
change to worship of light. If you meditate correctly and regularly it is easy to come out of
Suluthi.

If you are addicted to drinking liquor, smoking, chewing tobacco or to drugs you must leave
out these habits immediately.
If you find difficulty in doing so, ask your guru. He will guide you from leaving these
addictions.

You can rest for sometime after having lunch. But you should not sleep in the day.

If you are married, have sexual intercourse at the most only 4 times a month. Once a month
is the best.

Read books written by Siddhars. Also read books like Devaram, Thiruarutpa, Thiruvasagam,
Thirupugazh, Bible, Kuran, books written byAzhvarkal. This will help you a lot in attaining
good knowledge.

MEDITATION FOR STRONG MINDED ACHIEVERS :

For those strong willed persons entering into the way shown by siddhars. We meeting here

While the life is still in your body, you can understand death, know it and win over death by
learning the art of life after death. And also attain the godly stage by attaining Prana and
Kirana by the grace or your guru and god.

The literature and methods given below are taught by Siddhars secretly. I have written the
details of this before. I am explaining and discussing the world with grace and order of my
guru.

Here we can see about the ways in which we can maintain our body properly, understanding
and controlling your mind, removing your sorrows and evils and ways of offering our services
to god. These are the lessons my respectful holy guru Holier than my mother has taught me.
I have explained here in the same way explained to me by my guru. To prove that you cal
also attain this I am here as an example. I have attained all 65 sidhis with the blessings of
my guru. I am not telling for the fame but for the reason that you should also practice this
with more interest. My true devotees fully know the sidhis I have attained.
What is the specialty of our Siddhar's way of meditation
If we practice regularly in a disciplined way you can attain the Vasi Sithi within a year,
which otherwise will take a long.

You can attain may sithi’s within five years.

You can get good benefits from yoga, mantra and medicines.
You and your family will be health and prosperous and also get peace of mind.
You can learn the art of death effectively and properly.
You can cure diseases by mantras and by the power of your mind
There is no need to be a Sanyasi. You can reach various sithis by living your normal day to
day life.
You can remove all diseases and obstracles which may come in your way of doing yogam.
You can meditate with others for the welfare of the country and the world. There are more
benefits of doing meditation which you can realize through experience.
As said before you should do Nadi Suthi 10 times daily.
Experience the peace of mind by singing devotional songs.
Always sit is Sitha Aasana or Padma Aasana.
Always concentrate on the light between your eye brows for two minutes.
Simultaneously raise the light from the spinal cord to Swath Sthana while breathing out
slowly pronouncing the word "OM" from the Mulatharam.
Now raise the light from Swathi Sthana to Manipuragam while breathing out slowly
pronouncing the word ‘EM’.
Now raise the light from Manipuragam to the inner tongue while breathing out slowly
pronouncing the word ‘THA’.
Now raise the light from the inner tongue to the Visuthi while breathing out slowly
pronouncing the word ‘LA’. Simultaneously, think a light like the deepam lamp and raise it
along the spine.
Life before think a light like the deepam lamp and raise it along the spine to between the
eye brows through the neck breathing out slowly pronouncing ‘HEE’. After stationing the
light between the eye brows breathe out slowly pronouncing ‘HOO’ and experience the light
by deeply concentrating on it.
Then without disturbing your concentration bring the light of the deepam lamp between
your eye brows. When you see the light think within your minds the words OM, EM, THA,
LA, HEE, HOO. You must not lose the concentration and light between your eye brows. Then
bring down the light between your eye brows to the Mulatharam via your neck and spine.
Again repeat the exercise of raising the light from Mulatharam to between the eye brows.
Take a minute to raise the light to between the eye brow and 10 to 20 seconds to bring
down the light. Repeat this for 10 times.
As told before meditate for 30 minutes uttering the words between your eye brows and
station the light in your mind. After meditating pray for the welfare of your family, country
and world. Then stretch your legs and relax for 2 minutes.
Now you have finished meditating, you can get up now.

from meditation. (I have given the explanation for this in the explanation of Perunul
Kaviyam)

STAGES THAT CAN BE REACHED (STARTING STAGES)

If you do your meditation properly then your breathing will relaxed, smooth and feel like a
cloud colored (grey color) ball, for some they feel as it is rotating in a round shape. For
some other it will feel like red, blue, yellow or green colored or like a thunder along with the
sound of the sea or a jingle. Experiencing this, prepares you for the next stage. For more
details refer to books MEDITATION PART FOR EVERYONE.

STAGE – 2
You should start this only after practicing the first stage continuously for 48 days. The
Rajayogam got thru this stage is also known as Vasi Yogam or Thava Murai Meditation. It is
divided into 5 parts.
La Kuthu – Initialization with the help of Atshara ‘LA’.

Ma Kuthu – Combining the Atshara ‘HOO’ along with the above said Atshara. This
Thiksazhay helps you to attain Suzhumunai easily and experience the vasi, also strengths
your prana.

Jaba Kuthu – Doing the above without moving your body by stopping the kizgkathi and
contacting the chest and fore head.

Tharuha Kuthu – This Thiksha helps to attain the Abana, Prana powers at the top by just
moving your head sideways and full utilizing your brain and head.

Haruha Kuthu – This is the last stage of Vashi.

Many people do not know the meaning of Vashi. Sivan in form of Prana goes in and out of our
nostrils. As time passes this prana takes to the city of the lord of death – Lord Yama.

To control the prana by not leaving it out or by regulating it to the place where it started or
to make run regularly and in a disciplined way is called Nasipayirchi.(exercising the nostril
breath) This control of your Prana with your swasa is called vasi. By turning back the
outgoing Siva is Vasi.

Let us see some of the explanations given by Siddhars

Konkanar in Vallai Kummiyil says

Explanation : You should never postpone to learn the art of deathless life cause you are not
sure whether you will be alive the next day, so learn about Vasi today itself : How?

At its own will and the will of the mind. This wavery mind can be compared to ox or a cow. If
you control your mind you can control your swasa. If you control your swasa your mind is
controlled. So if you practice Vasi swasa is controlled and it shows the right path to the
ultimate destination. The athma compared to the cow becomes tamed as the good cow
nandhi and becomes the means of transport to do good services to Lord Siva and attain
heights of spiritual life. The rigid horn fixes itself into suzhumunai from being the
inflexible surya and chandra kalai by Vasi.

I hope you understand now that if your mind is wavery it is an uncontrollable cow and if you
control your mind then it is good doing Nandhi.

Mandalam’s – Surya, Chandra, Angi Mandalam’s.

We can across the Mupazhai only through Vasi.

Mupazhai – (Three stages) – Irul Pazh (Darkness), Oli Pazh (Light), Veli Pazh (Outer). In the
initial stages of meditation the darkness goes and the light is seen. This is Irul Pazh. Then
the light gets stationed and widens more brightly. This is Oli Pazh. Mind gets regulated and
you become everything with the stage of Samadhi beginning to come out. This is Veli Pazh.
[In Kaka Pujandar Gnana 80] it is said.

Explanation : If Vasi is stationed / attained then the wavering of the mind is stopped and it
combines with life. At this stage the Surya and Chandra Kalai is regulated and settles
between the eye brows. Since the suvasa has been settled and paripurana attained, we can
also invoke them anytime. Subsequently, we can reach mukthi stage. And this removes all our
sins and sorrows and help us attain gnana.
TIPS FOR DOING ‘LA’ KUTHU
While meditating always face the West.
Always sit on a thick mattress.
The Mattress must be 4 x 4 feet in length.
Maintain separate dress and mattress for meditation.
You are now a serious meditator – so you should meditate carefully, sincerely and in a
disciplined manner.
Always meditate in a room with dim lightings. Use a night lamp for meditation from starting

5. Why should I not meditate after having food ?
When the food reaches stomach, the intestine starts digesting the food. This requires
more energy and there is a increase in blood flow. Because of this the nerves and other
parts of the body get physically tired. The brain also gets mentally tired. At this stage is we
give work to other parts of the body, the blood flow to the stomach is reduced and energy
needed to digest by the stomach is also reduced. So indigestion occurs leading to other
problems and diseases in the body. So meditating after having food leads to weakness
instead of any good.
6. Can I meditate and do physical exercise simultaneously? If not why?
When you meditate the nerves and neurons communicate with the brain actively. Hence the
body gets cooled and the body attains good vibrations. The body is also steady and stable.
If you do physical exercise the body reacts very fast. The energy produced goes without
any use. You can meditate and do exercise with a one hour between them. You can meditate
in the morning and do exercise in the evenings.
