Dr B.V Raman, former editor of The Astrological Magazine, had done major research on the nadi. He believed that his system was special and original to Indian culture and genius. Till the 1930s, nadis were a sealed book even to the majority of Hindu astrologers. Raman felt that nadi writers based their predictive applications on the extensive astrological literature. Attributed to Sage Parasara, all were in the form of Sanskrit sutras. The best system, according to Raman, is based on 36 tantra nadis, each of which contains 1 588 320 astrological charts. These recur every 360 years. Another theory is that khsudra devatas (angels, spirit beings) pass on the nadi reader. By Shoba Naidu

The uniqueness of Vedic astrology is its ability to offer remedies for planetary afflictions. For example, someone has a bad influence from Saturn and it causes acute problems in the individual’s life. Saturn runs a period of 20 years. The question is: Should the individual suffer for 20 years. Yes, usually it will be the case, unless you interfere with the effects through remedial corrective measures. According to Vedic astrology the planets are not merely celestial objects. Behind every planet is the Being of the planet who has special physical and functional attributes. For example the Being of the planet Saturn is represented as one with a deformed leg and rides on the crow. A god also rules Saturn. Rectifying the bad influences of Saturn involves propitiating both the Being of Saturn and the god who represents Saturn. Karma is your past life. Depending on your good or bad actions, the present life is good or bad. The planets are simply agents who unfold your karma. Vedic astrology allows us to understand the influence of karma in two major ways: transits and the dasha-bhukti systems. Universal Remedies to Contract Karma I General: Tirugnanasambandar, a 6th century Tamil Saint, prescribed some rituals with flowers and chanting of mantras to counteract acute suffering caused by Karma. We will practice the chants and rituals for 2 hours.
7 :: Origin Of Agathiyar Naadi :: The Rishis of ancient India applied their mind and discovered many arts and science for the well being of man kind. They are astrology, Palmistry, Numerology, Naadi reading etc., Naadi astrology was written on palm leaves in ancient India. It is mostly prevalent in South India particularly in the state of Tamilnadu. Its main center is a place called 'Vaitheerswarankoil' near 'Chidambaram'in the state of Tamilnadu. Great rishis like Agasthiya ,Vashista,Kousiga,Brihu and others have given future prediction for certain human beings born in this universe. This they could do with their intuition, premonition and fore sight. At any given movement a large number of people are born in this universe. The rishis have confined their prediction to only those who will come forward to study their prediction on account of the links., these persons had with the sages in their previous birth. :: History :: The origin of these leaves can be traced back to approximately 2000 years ago. It is presumed that the Sapta Rishis (Seven Sages) had written the life patterns of certain person on palm leaves along with their names through their Yogic Powers. These unique leaves were kept in the Saraswati Mahal' library of Tanjore city of Tamilnadu State in India. Later during the British Rule the British were very keen to acquire these types of ancient leaves dealing with herbal cure, alchemy, fortune-telling etc; but left some of the astrological leaves to their loyalists. Some were put to auction also. People belonging to a particular sect called Valluvar community who specialized in astrology bought these leaves. Some of these were acquired by the astrological families in Vaitheeswarankoil about 60 years ago from Thanjavur Saraswati Mahal Library . The leaves were found lying idle in Vaitheeswarankoil. Around the 13th century the forefathers found them realized their values and copied the contents on palm leaves and made exact replica These leaves have been handed down over generations to make predictions. They earned their livelihood through Nadi Astrology. It is a hereditary profession for them. They got trained from their elders to do Nadi reading. What is written on the leaves is read and explained by them. The language is poetic and the script is also different. It is the same as in the ancient temples. Some of the Nadis are available in the Oriental Manuscripts Library at Chennai, India, in mutilated condition and the SaptaRishiNadi was published in Tamil in six volumes lagna wise . There were some nadigranthas translated into another South Indian Telugu language. Marata King Sarabhoji and Chola Kings patronized this form of astrology and translations. It is stated that Sage Agasthya has written in Tamil. They have a certain amount of collection of leaves. For each thumb print there will be 6 bundle of leaves. In each bundle there will be 108 leaves according to Siva Nadi and 50 leaves agastyanadi.This means for one thumb print many details of person can be read. In Siva Nadi more details are given as discussion between Lord Siva and Parvarti than in Agastiya Nadi . It seems that these Nadis were originally written on animal skins and some leaves and later they were copied on palm leaves. They were preserved by applying a special oil. The Nadi readers say that natives whose leaves are there will somehow or the other come to them at the appropriate age specified on the leaves from any corner of the world. Leaves are there not only for Indians, but for foreigners also belonging to other religions on account of the links these foreigners and people belonging to other religion having had some connection with sage Agasthiya in their previous birth. Who ever is destined to look into their leaves will come to us to find their leaves on their own accord. We will help you in this regard by processing, deciphering and decoding the leaves. They very word Nadi in Tamil mean (destined) to come on one’s own accord. Those who are not destined may not even know
8 that such a type of astrology exists. Even the very age when the native is destined to come to our naadi center is marked on the leaves. Whoever is destined to come, will come at their appointed time, irrespective of nationality, creed and culture. :: Procedure for getting Appointment :: The Nadi Astrologer is generally busy and one has to take an appointment with him, approximately a month before. When you come to us on the appointed day, three impressions of the right thumb for males and the left thumb for females is taken Then he goes inside his library room where the palm leaves are kept, to check the name of the thumb impression. This process could take 10 minutes or ten hours depending on the good luck and fortune of the person who gives the impression. As soon as the bundle of leaves pertaining to your thumb impression is found, you are called inside and then the process of ascertaining your correct leaves begins. This is a tedious and cumbersome process as a bundle with around 50 to 60 leaves need to be processed. You are generally supposed answer only yes or no to the questions to asked. If you say no to the very first question then that leaf is eliminated and the second leaf is studied. This way after eliminating all the wrong leaves your correct leaf is retrieved where in all details pertaining to you and your family is written. At times the sage mentions in the leaf that a particular name will have 4 or 5 letters or it starts with a specific letter like ka,sa, etc., In case the person to whom the leaf is being read knows the local Tamil language ,there will be no need for an interpreter .For person who doesn’t know the Tamil language an interpreter is a must, after getting the correct leaf the reader goes on to decode the leaf written in ancient Tamil, and translate the same with the help of the interpreter and hands over the recorded cassette and the note book where the prediction are written in Tamil along with the horoscope particulars to the concerned person. The first chapter generally gives an over view of things. In order to know all things in detail it’s a advisable to look in to all the 14 chapters and get the best sage Agasthiya’s advice.

Profile of Shri: Agasthiyar Durai Subburathnam I am pleased to present this significant article about “Profile of Shri: Agasthiyar Durai Subburathnam. – Chief Nadi Astrologer of Sri Koushika Agasthiyar Mahashiva Naadi Jothida Nilayam – No: 36, New State Bank Colony, West Tambarag, Chennai – 600045, Tamilnadu, India”. INTRODUCTION: The Nadi astrology is a valuable gift handed over to us by our intellectual ancestors, rishis of ancient India who discovered and unearthed valuable information even in many fields such as arts, science, medicine, astronomy, palmistry, numerology etc. Evidence of ancient manuscripts like brihat samhits, jathaka, paarijatha etc was obtained. There are several branches in Astrology or horoscope analysis viz. casting and reading of horoscopes, based on the positions of nine planets due to its transition aspects respectively within the twelve houses at the time of birth of a person and thus predictions of individuals’ future is given co-relating such movements across the zodiac between the sky and our beautiful earth. Nadi astrology has two distinct definitions: a) “Nadi” in tamil means “seeking to know natives lives, secrets, truth and reality” b) “Nadi Astrology” also gives explanation of our past, present and future life contents inscribed on a palm leaf. ORIGIN OF NADI ASTROLOGY IN INDIA: The origin of the palm leaves can be traced back approximately 2000 years ago where fate of each individual was written by divine
10 dispensation. Predictions of human beings were inscribed on palm leaves like many other fields like arts, science, medicine of ancient days. Initially they were in Sanskrit. It was recopied before 300-400 years back. In due course such palm leaves were preserved by many tamil kings who gathered all such palm leaves irrespective of the subjects and stored them in big libraries. The rulers of chela kingdom and the Mavatha king sarfojee Maharaja saved or preserved such palm leaves from decaying with age. Driven by their passion for the tamil language they translated them into tamil and preserved them at Saraswathi Mahal inside the Tanjore palace in south India. The king of Tanjore too, a true patron of arts and sciences, preserved such leaves in his palace library. With help of pandits or learned scholars he too translated all the contents from Sanskrit to tamil. The credit goes to such tamil kings who by their interest preserved the leaves which are the repository of the wisdom of ancient rishis. But for their efforts we wouldn’t have been aware of such distinct Nadi predictions. Later, during the British rule, the British were very keen to acquire these leaves which also dealt with herbal cure, alchemy, different types of rasayans, Kayakalpa to increase longevity, different branches of fortune telling etc. In some, the basic rules of the modern scientific inventions were explained. Hence, these valuable contents were readily taken away by the British but left behind some of the astrological leaves to their loyalists. Some bundles of leaves were hence put on auction also. Experts in the field of astrology belonging to a particular caste specialized in astrological analysis, realized its significance and spontaneously bought these leaves and subsequently earned their livelihood through such Nadi readings. Gradually it became a traditional and hereditary profession or occupation for many who adopted such a career. Such palm leaves were thus auctioned from the British by the forefathers of Sri: Agasthiyar Durai Subburathnam, who were residing in Vaitheshwaran temple and in adjacent places of the very temple as a group and involved dedicatedly since the hundred years in the same field. Henceforth, such leaves were passed on to their generations, respectively. Hence, his ancestors together with him to present days proved to be imminent, ardent, sincere astrologers since 80 years approximately for three generations serving the public to restore more of peace, good health, prosperity and universal integration.
HISTORY OF TAMBARAM AGASTHYAR NADI CENTRE: Shri: Agasthiyar Durai Subburathram’s elder uncle, Jothida Kalaima – Mani Swamy Satchidanandam belongs to their family lineage, further preserved these palm leaves and also added to them, the palm leaves he could gather from every available source. He thereafter established at Vaideshwonan Koil a centre called “Sri Koushika Agasthiya Mahashiva Vakkiya Naadi Jothidam” and practised nadi astrology. After his demise, his eldest son Arulsivam Arumugam, deeply involved himself in Nadi astrology and people from all over the world sought Nadi predictions from him. He was very renowned and many newspapers or periodicals praised his valuable services also. To ensure
11 that his rare art does not perish with him, his brother and sons took active interest to perpetuate Nadi Astrology. Hence, Nadi Astrologer Sri: Agasthiyar Durai Subburathnam belonged to such reputed family in rendering his dedicated services and practicing it to this day. He received training from his elders similarly. He started his centre at Tambanam, south India Chennai nine years ago and administrating it successfully. His well established office is at Chennai as “Kausika Agasthiya Naadi Jothida Nilayam, Tambaram, West Chennai – 600045, Tamilnadu, India”. Many journals, television channels within tamilnadu, and outside India like America, Japan had broadcasted interviews with him. His humble statement stated that “The fact of his growth in stature, is completely due to the divine grace of Shri Agasthiyar Maharishi, Lord Shiva, Goddess Parvathy and also by the blessings showered by his forefathers”. He felt sorry for the fact that they do not have palm leaves of all persons all over the world – but only a limited quantity. However, he is confident that who ever seeks him to know their predictions from any part of the world, will be destined to hear the same by divine grace at proper time and date. SCOPE OF NADI READINGS: He commands the faith and respect of thousands of people who have tested the authenticity of the leaves he holds. Many important persons were impressed and benefited by the predictions of Nadi astrology in their life. Hence, they still continue to seek guidance very often with confidence, as their details are strictly kept confidential. He is also assisted by 12-15 Nadi readers and half a dozen Nadi writers who hasten the workload every day without much rest from morning 8.30 a.m. to late night also. Thus, his centre officials do have translators who translate or interpret the Nadi tamil poetic contents to natives preferable languages or mother tongue like hindhi, telugu, nalayalam etc which are regional languages. For the benefit of foreigners, English translators are also recruited. Hence, we are gifted to have Nadi Astrologer Mr. Sri: Agasthiyar Durai Subburathnam amidst us. His services will help many people who are entangled within the web of present complicated modernized society which is surrounded with commotions, pandemonium, miseries, displeasure, enmity, rivalry existing due to mere ignorance, arrogance, selfishness and karmic effects. ADVANTAGES OF NADI ASTROLOGY: 1) Remedial measures help to reduce stumbling blocks and enhance self-confidence, happiness, prosperity, good health and peaceful death. 2) The natives can avoid unpleasant correspondence by being meticulous in their actions with regard to career, education, occupation, and marital life too. 3) Marriage details revealed, relieve parent or spouses’ anxiety and fear. Prospects of second marriage or not can help to accept our future reality. 4) Nadi astrology aids political awareness. 5) It also brings enrichment of cultural exchange between India and other countries also. 6) By such cultural exchanges many foreigners too benefit the fruit of such readings to stabilize well their life too though they are far away from Indian soil. 7) Nadi Astrology helps natives to know facts of their next birth, mukti or salvation too. 8) Precautionary measures are very well taken ahead by natives as they are aware of their future impending dangers. 9) It catalysts self-realization making natives to decrease bad karmas and enhance or increase good karmas to avoid re-births according to Hindu philosophy.
12 10) Aushada Kandham or chapter guides people to take correct or apt medical treatment for chronic, acute diseases. 11) Married couples without issue due to karmic effects, realize the cause and thus later enjoy birth of children by wiping or cleansing away their karmas by adopting and completing certain remedial measures. 12) It boosts philosophical, spiritual thoughts in natives mind. CONCLUSION: Naadi Astrology can hence be defined as a “Blue Print” of many souls’ life style born as human beings in this universe. It is quite unfortunate to note that no other forms of astrology have been criticized or manipulated as much as “Nadi Astrology”. Due to the code of mystery surrounding it, a number of quacks play havoc with the gullible public. The people should be aware that many sincere, devoted, dedicated professionally trained, talented expert nadi readers exist who possess genuine Nadi palm leaves transcribed by Indian ancient rishis. The natives are allowed to read for themselves from the palm leaves if they know tamil language as first hand evidence after the identification of such leaves are done. More than anything, all doubts put forth by the natives are clarified patiently by the Nadi readers until the natives are happy with the explanations. To the foreigners similarly the interpretation given by certain translators too are done with immense patience and with sincerity and dedication being very meticulous about the facts revealed as every letter or word is important for the natives’ knowledge and benefit genuine purpose for their readings are serviced humbly by divine Goddess and God’s grace too.

Naadi Shastra The science of Naadi predictions dates to approximately four thousand years. It is also popular as the science of palm leaves, where every individual's Past, Present and Future is said to be encrypted in manuscripts. The manuscripts or palm leaves contain recorded facts about an individual's entire life span. You have to experience it to believe it! You can read our testimonials to get a better idea from people who have had their palm leaves identified and have a Naadi prediction done. Its accuracy is simply astounding! An individual's thumb impression (right thumb for males and left for females) is the unique identification symbol in this science. A thumb impression is used to locate the Naadi palm leaf of the individual. The thumb impression will be matched to the associated palm leaf and reading
21 is enabled. Each individual is said to have a unique thumb impression, which is the crucial factor in identifying the palm leaf. A lot of time is spent in locating the palm leaf since the chances of misreading or error in identification of palm leaf is high. This error in identification occurs largely due to repetitive (many people sharing the same name, birth dates and cultural backgrounds) names, backgrounds, and similarity in date, place and even time of birth. It is popularly understood that only a person who is destined to know his fate can successfully get his predictions from a Naadi astrologer. Naadi Shastra is different from other predictive sciences Naadi is unique and different from other predictive sciences since the palm leaves already exist. The results are authentic and accurate as the predictions are predefined and pre-documented. The manuscripts were originally written in Sanskrit. The readings were translated into the Tamil language and preserved during the times of Tanjore Kings between the 9th - 13th centuries. The predictions / readings are organized into chapters or Kandams. The primary centre for Naadi Shastra is in Vaitheeswarankoil, near Chidambaram in Tamil Nadu in South India.

SIDDHA – Legacy of Ancient Sages (Article from Heritage Healing, August 2001 by Dr T Thirunarayanan and Dr J David Sathyakumar)
Any medical system is an evolution and not an overnight invention. The traditional system of the Tamils, called the Siddha is one such that seems to have existed since the beginning of time. The earliest practice of this system can be graced to the Dravidians, the oldest, native race in India. It aimed at perfect physical, psychological and spiritual health of the human being. The excavations of the Indus valley civilization, renamed as the Harappan civilization, also support the antiquity of the Dravidians, and their practice of medicine. Many instruments found in south India were believed to be of the Paleolithic and Neolithic periods. The horns of deer antelopes, corals and leaves of neem, were used as medicines. The worship of the male God Shiva and the female Goddess Uma is of Dravidian cult and not of the Aryans, who were worshippers of Brahma. According to some researchers, Ayurveda, considered an upaveda of Atharvaveda, is itself a non – Aryan veda, and it is probable that during the later stages of vedic period, it might have incorporated the practices of the Dravidians into it. Dhanvantri, the creator of Ayurveda is also listed among the Siddhars and a few books written by him are in Tamil. Among the several groups of Tamils of the ancient time, Siddhars were highly spiritual people with extra sensory perception and powers of transmutation. They believed to have gained awareness of all the natural objects and of all times – past, present. The Siddha medicine practiced by them, is said to have originated from Shiva, which is known from the following poem from Yugi Chintamani-800, “Thus revealed Sadashivam to Devi The Goddess passed it onto Nandi Nandi exposed it to Dhanvantri Dhanvantri thought it to Ashwini Agasthiya received the knowledge from him To be passed on to Pulathiyar Pulathiyar conveyed it to Theraiyar” Though there were thousands of Siddhars, the most prominent among them were 18 Siddhars, though their names contained and their period is still a controversy. Apart from them, Navanadha Siddhars and Navakodi Siddhars were also prominent. The father of Tamil medicine and literature, however, is Agasthiya, who is said to
28
have come to the southern tip to create a balance between the north and the south. According to the science of Siddhars. The first sound “AUM” (Pranava Mantra) originated from the creator, identified itself with the space or ether. From this ether, air came into existence, which in turn created the fire. Water was created when the fire melted and cooled down. The residue formed the earth matter. These five elements, which are in a subtle state (Sukuma Nilai) manifest into a gross state (Sthula Nilai) and become visible. The manifestation of these five elements from the subtle state to the gross state is called as “Pancheekarana”. The matters get attributed with the property of the element that is predominant in it. For example, the “Sthula Panchabootha” of earth consists of one half of earth and oneeighth of each of the rest. The human body is a small world in itself. Thus, bone, flesh, nerves, skin and hair are made of earth. Blood, semen, secretion and sweat are made from water. Hunger, thirst, sleep and indolence are attributed to fire. Contraction, expansion and motion are given by air. The male sperm is a combination of air and fire, while the female ovum has predominant water. Thus the mobility of the sperm is the functionality of air. The uterine wall where the fertilized ovum gets implanted, has earth as the predominant element, while uterine cavity gives space for the fertilized ovum to grow in the ether. Siddha medicine also states that every matter has five characters viz. Suvai (Taste), Gunam (Property), Veeriyam (Potency), Vibhavam (Taste after ingestion and digestion), Prabhavam (Special character of that matter). The physiology, pathology, diagnosis, pharmacology and treatment in Siddha medicine are totally based on the equilibrium of five elements. The components of Nature and of our body are divided into Tatwas. Tatwa is the primordial and eternally existing basic essence. The human body is composed of ninety-six Tatwas or constituent principles in Nature, including elements, bodily and mental organs, faculties, matter etc. The human body is composed of 72,000 bloodvessels, 13,000 nerves, 10 main arteries, 10 vital airs (Prana), and all together in the form of a net-work; and it is due to the derangement of the three humors that the body becomes susceptible to 4448
29
diseases. Of the ten vital airs, five play an important role in the physiological functions necessary for the preservation of the physical body and they are: # Chief Prana which regulates the respiratory system. # Apana which helps excretions from the lower organs, evacuation & generation. # Vyana is the principle of circulation of energy throughout the entire nervous system. # Udana regulates the function of higher organs of the brain. # Samana is the principle of digestion on assimilation. The psychological aspect of the human body, according to the Siddhars, has nine gates (ten in women) described for the play of forces of the five senses in the human body, in which lives the soul commonly known as Jivatma a miniature represen-tation of Paramatma, the universal soul. The human body is therefore considered to be a temple of God. The three physical elements of the external world, viz., air (wind), heat (fire) and water, in medical parlance, form the three humors namely – Vatha, Pitha and Kapha. These are the expressions of the vital force and form the fundamental basis the human body. The three humors are called “Muppini” in Tamil and Ayurveda calls them “Tridosha”. The three humors, in their normal order, respectively occupy the lower, middle and upper parts of the body, and maintain their integrity – Vatha in the regions of the pelvis and the rectum; the Pitha in the region of the stomach and the internal viscera and the Kapha in the region of the thorax, throat and head. It is also said that the characteristics of the three humors in the constitution of man, is either hereditary or atavic. In scientific parlance, Vatha com-prehends all the phenomena which come under the functions of the central and the sympathetic nervous system; Pitha, the functions of thermogenesis or heatproduction, metabolism, within its limits, the process of digestion,
30
coloration of blood, excretion and secretion etc., and Kapha, the regulation of the heat and the various preservative functions. The all Siddhars’ Materia The Siddhars’ MATERIA MEDICA asserts that substances of the Medica asserts that all animal, the vegetable and the mineral kingdoms canofbe to substances thecorrelated animal, the vegetable and Therefore, the one or more of these three humors in their composition. mineral kingdoms can be diet should play an important role in the maintenance oforthese correlated to one more these three humors in three humors in men and women, if disease is to beofprevented. The their composition humors contribute to the upkeep of the human body through their combined functioning. When deranged, they bring about disease peculiar to their influence. The humors by themselves are not the producers of diseases in their functioning; but they give rise to diseases if they are vitiated by other factors. According to the fundamental principles of humoral pathology, no disease can be local and absolutely unconnected with the other parts of the organism. If the physician tries to cure a disease, he should necessarily concentrate on the vitiated humors resulting in that disease.
Diagnosis and treatment The physician using his organs of perception and senses, examines the patient’s tongue, skin color, voice, eyes, urine, stools and pulse. Interrogation is considered the last, as indicated by the maxim, “Eyes first and most, Hands next and little, Mouth last and never.” In ancient times there were no instruments like the modern stethoscope, sphygmograph, endoscope etc., for extending sensual perceptions into the interior of the body. Nor were there apparatuses and contrivances for the test of urine, faeces, sputum (phlegm) etc., to enable the physicians to observe, record and compare the phenomena of health and disease. The physicians in those days had to depend almost entirely on pulse in the matter of diagnosing diseases, and in this, they were pre-eminently successful. The Science of pulse forms a very important branch of the Indian system of Medicine. It is not Vedic in origin, and no trace of it can be found in any of the authentic works of Ayurveda such a Charaka or Sushruta. It is a science peculiar to the Siddhars’ system of Medicine.
31
The term pulse in medical practice is applied to the throb felt in the radial artery at the wrist, though it may be felt over the temporal, carotid, lunar, brachial, and femoral arteries. But the perspective of Siddha science is much more and interprets it as the language of the soul. The throb is usually in the form of a wave with three peaks and they are connected with the three doshas, namely the vatha, pitha and kapha, which in turn have a relationship with the five elements. These doshas are nothing but the expression of the vital force in the body and one can predict the change in the internal organ by reading the pulse. Siddhars have analyzed the wave pattern of the pulse along with its rate and rhythm and have associated it with the gait of different animals and birds. For example, when vatha is predominant, the wave pattern has been found to be like the gait of a peacock, swan or hen and enables a person to graphically imagine the wave pattern. Pulse waves vary according to the time of the day, seasons, person’s mental attitude, diet and disease. Recent research by scientists in Pennsylvania, has thrown light on the connectivity of cardiovascular system to the circadian clock, which supports the findings of Siddhars. Yugi Muni was the first person to classify disease based on science and symptoms. Yugi Muni and his master Theraiyar, by their sound theoretical knowledge and experience, wrote classics on clinical medicine. The insight and experience of Yugi Muni is astonishing, in that he has described neoplastic growth of organs like rectum and prostate. Among the different medical treatise written by Agasthiya, one can find the classics on ophthalmology, pharmacology, classifi-
32
cations of disease etc. Theraiyar, though not included among the 18 Siddhars, has contributed much towards diagnosis and treatment of Siddha medicine. His book “Theraiyar Neerkuri” deals at length about the urine examination for diagnostic and prognostic purposes. “Theraiyar Thailavarga Churukkam” is a treatise on the preparation of oil-based drugs used internally and externally. He is believed to have done Craniotomy to remove a mass from the brain. Various forms of internal medicines that exist are classified into 32 categories. These include medicines such as fresh juice, decoctions, powders, medicated oils and tablets. Chenduras and bhasmas are preparations that are considered to be higher medicines and act in very minute quantities. They have a very long shelf life and bhasmas can be used for up to a hundred years. The external applications are also divided into 32 types. They range from bandage to enema. Thokkanam is also an external treatment, which consists of manipulation of the body with medicated oil and is similar to the present day physiotherapy. The bakthi ages between the 7th and 12th century saw even greater development in this system, as most of the Siddhars lived during this age. Surgery is believed to have developed during this period. To quote Kambaramayanam. “Incising the haematoma, blood letting was done followed by cauterization and healing it by external application” and to quote from Nammalwar, “I love thee O’ Lord like a patient who loves his surgeon despite the trauma inflicted by surgery”. As many as 26 surgical instruments were described by Agasthiya in his book of ophthalmology. Yoga in Siddha medicine The regimens of life and the yogic practices are divided into Attayogam (eight stages of yoga) and Rajayogam. Yoga is restraining the mind from taking various forms. The seven stages of yoga are: 1. Iyama which are the moral codes for crossing the barriers like caste, regligion, race and sex. 2. Niyamas are the study of self and selflessness with dedication.
33
3. Asanas are physical postures. 4. Pranayama is rhythmic and sustained breathing. 5. Prathiyakara is withdrawal of mind from worldly affairs by controlling the senses of perception. 6. Dharana is holding the mind on a specific object. 7. Samadhi is the last stage, where one identifies with the super conscious-ness.
The Science of Siddha interprets pulse as the language of the soul and has associated its wave patterns with the gait of different animals
The practice of yoga is fundamental to Siddha medicine and helps to raise the God within the practitioner. According to Shiva-vakiyar – “It is a waste to make floral offerings and to chant mantras to an idol when the god is within you; just as a vessel which doesn’t realize the taste of food in it”. Through the practice of Raja Yoga, Siddhars awakened the serpent power (Kundalini) lying dormant in the base of the spinal column in the region of the sacral plexus, which led to the awakening of the supernatural consciousness and their spiritual faculties were combined with supernatural powers. With this they were able to analyze the microcosm and macrocosm. Their in-depth study of genesis of creation, its relationship to five elements unraveled the secrets of the universe and laws of life. They were not only able to measure inter-planetary distances by using their super-consciousness whereby they derived astrology, but they also got to be experts in the science of Alchemy and Medicine.

Saint Thirumoolar’s treatise on Agama cult, “Thirumandhiram� is pioneering work and a foundation stone in Siddha medicine, work that till today is a guide to the Siddha physician. It deals with the smallest particle of matter, purity of thought and action, and covers everything to Ashtamahasiddhis (Octomiracle) and talks about preserving the physical body. Toxicology in Siddha medicine Siddhars, having investigated and studied fully the cause and effects of disease, their diagnostic method, and methods of treatment, also analyzed the poisons and their antidotes. Siddha physicians laid a great emphasis on detoxification of raw drugs before medicines were prepared. This is not merely a physical or chemical action, but much more than one can imagine. it is the removal of morbid factors from the raw drugs by killing it with its enemy (sathuru) and raising it by its friend (mithuru). Siddhars seemed to have mastered the science of antagonism and synergism. Through this process, even the highly toxic earth products like arsenic, sulphur, vermilion, zinc, and toxic plants became life-saving drugs. Bogar, who is believed to be of Chinese origin and a student of Kalinganathar, had the skill of binding the Navapashana into a solid mass in the form of Balathandayudhapani, presently at Palani hills. Calx or Calcined Oxide and red-oxides etc. were prepared from mercury and other metals. These minerals and metals were treated with various herbal extracts, lime juice and breast milk according to requirement, for a specific dura-tion, during the process of puri-fication. This marvelous area, as yet, has not been understood properly and the poor quality and sub-standard drug preparations circulating in the market has lead to a wide range of criticism linking them often to renal damages. On the contrary, the ancient Siddhars have rarely come across such a criticism and much of their success was due to an in-depth knowledge of toxicology. The process of proper purification always increased the margin of safety, thereby reducing the risk of side effects. The antidotes for all minerals, metals and herbs are mentioned in detail in Siddha medicine. The toxic effects of mercuric salts can
35
be countered by Indigofera tinctoria, tribulus terristris, white yolk of egg, and tender coconut. Lotus seeds, roots of gynandropsis pentaphylla, cassia and Indigofera, and meusa ferrea are indicated to neutralize the toxic effects of sulphur. A decoction including common milk hedge (Euphorbia nivulia), tuber of cyperus rotundus, Acorus calamus and dried ginger is a good antidote for toxic effects of papaver somniferum and cannabis sativa. The leaf of sesbania grandiflora (Agatti), gymnema sylvestre, garlic and cumin seeds are indicated as antidotes for nicotine. The knowledge of Siddhars on venoms, especially snake venom, is discussed in detail in Vida sankarrudam, which classifies the severity of symptoms into 10 stages and specifies antidotes for each stage. It is strange that very little effort has been made to study the effect of purification on metals and minerals, and antidotes for various bites, poisons and venom. The availability of rabies vaccine and antidote for snake venom is coming down today, due to various restrictions in using animals. Mortality due to snakebites in developing countries is still large and more research into the Siddha system is called for, to provide safe and effective treatments. Alchemy in Siddha medicine Siddha physicians were also well acquainted with the process of obtaining metals from their ores. The popular saying “Tamils were the race who lived with swords even during the actual formation of the earth� shows their knowledge in metallurgy. Siddhars analyzed almost all the materials of the world and left nothing unexplored. On the journey of discovery, they found remarkable ways to change the basic nature of a substance, and no other area reflected this as much as alchemy. They were masters in converting basic metals into gold. They were able to change the nature of mercury, The Siddhars indepth amalgamate it and use it in medicine. This was popularly knows knowledge of toxicology enabled them toand effectively as Rasamani was considered a great elixir which brought purify raw drugs and forth the side dormant eliminate effects power of the Soul (atmasakti). Siddhars used it to arrest the flow of semen to raise the power of the soul. There are literature evidences from Agasthiya, Bogar and Pulasthiyar,
36
which say that, "even a sword cannot pierce the body” and it has remarkable ability to absorb all kinds of poisons from the body.
More than 12 types of Rasamani have been identified, which have different powers. For example, Kamalini, can absorb a great volume of water, and can help a person walk through fire. Sorubamani can turn a body into blazing fire, Kavunamani can make a person travel in space and is used in astral projection. Veramani has the power of repelling wild animals and probably Siddhars had this for protection against them. It also gives stamina and a person can run for many kilometers without tiring. With Ashtama siddhi kuligai, a person can perform Octomiracles. Mercury was effectively used in Siddha and more research to understand the principles behind this, will unravel many secrets. Muppu is a universal solvent made by the combination of three salts: fuller’s earth, ammonium chloride, and saltpeter, representing three elements viz., water, air and fire. It was used to consolidate mercury into a pill, and easily reduces minerals into red or calcined powders. It also promotes the potency of drugs many folds and keeps one strong and free from disease. Research in Siddha medicine Scientific and research activities have been carried out by the Central Research Institute, Chennai, for chronic diseases like psoriasis, eczema, vitiligo, arthritis, and other respiratory diseases and a medicated oil prepared from the leaves of Wrightia tinctoria has proved to be effective. The leaves were shown to have proteolytic properties, indigo yielding glucosides and found to be active against gram positive bac-teria. More interesting findings have been shown with Indigo plants having the same properties. Marking nut (Semicarpus anacar-dium) prepared with clarified butter, and commonly available as “Serankottainei” has been a drug of promise for various carcinomas. Its cytotoxic activity has been found to be selective for cancer cells. Another
37
breakthrough in Siddha medicine is the work done on Hepatitis. In-vitro studies were carried out to test the efficacy of various phyllanthus species and among the 23 species, Phyllanthus Amarus or P. Fraternus has been shown to be effective. A red pigment isolated, has been re-sponsible for inactivating the hepatitis B Surface antigen (HBS Ag). Various other research projects are also underway at the Institute of Basic Medical Sciences at Taramani, Chennai. AIDS –research In Siddha system, pitha is considered responsible for governing the immune system. Siddha system considers AIDS as a type of “Mega Noi” and references from Agasthiya says that this disease, if not properly treated, may lead to many incurable diseases. More severe cases of Mega Noi have clinical features similar to that of AIDS and respond only to metallic preparations. Ushna veerya drugs, with bitter principles like Semicarpus anacardium (marking nut), Plumbago zeylanica (white lead wort), Enicostema littorale, Indigofera tinctoria (Dyer’s indigo), Swertia chirata (Chiretta), and Phyllanthus niruri are some of the herbs shown to have antiviral properties. Drugs prepared from Perchoride of mercury (veeram), yellow arsenic and copper are found to be effective for the treatment of AIDS. Naga parpa, Nandi mezhugu and Talisadhi vatagam are some of the other drugs prepared by the Indian medical practitioner’s cooperative society being used for AIDS. Research departments have been established in Chennai and Palayamkottai, to investigate and formulate the potential drugs in this area, including cancer. Diet and health Diseases are largely due to improper dietary habits. The body preserves good health when the new food is eaten only after the old food is fully digested and the food agrees with the body. Pathartha guna chinthamani elaborates a daily regimen for good health. Waking up early in the morning helps clarity of thoughts and, visualizing good objects helps in increasing the ability of an individual.
38 Kamalini can absorb a great volume of water, and can help a person walk through fire.
Sorubamani can turn a body into blazing fire, Kavunamani can make a person travel in space and is used in astral projection
Cleaning teeth with twigs of neem, acacia arabica, fig tree are good for dental health. Anjanam, an application for the eyes consisting of berberis aristata, wedelia calendulacea, once in three days helps in good vision. Nasal application once in 45 days is essential for prevention of kapha related disorders, especially of head and neck. Oil massages and oil baths prevent aging process, result in sound sleep and a fine texture for the skin, apart from making the muscles strong. It also improves the functions of sense organs. Disease is caused not only by the imbalance of the physical constituents, the Anthakaranas, especially the mind, is also responsible for health or illness. Recent research in a western university on psycho neural immunity, says that the psychic plane of mind has a considerable influence on immunity of an
39
individual. Purity of thought and action are all emphasized by Siddhars as ways for prevention of disease, aging and restoring immortality. Indulgence in exces-sive foods, sexual relationships with eldery women and sex during daytime, are prohibited. Hatred, greed and anger are other passions that one should be free from. Charity and pleasing manners, helps one to live longer. Rejuvenation therapy – Kayakalpa The art of bestowing longevity is a unique feature of Siddha medicine through kayakalpa therapy. The term kayakalpa is evolved from two words, kaya meaning body and kapa meaning stone like. Scientists all over the world, are relentlessly working on promoting immunity and prevention of cell depletion. The aging process creates psychological and social problems and is a bane for elders with health problems. Kayakalpa treatment is aimed at the prevention of this aging process and individuals are endowed with longevity, memory, intellect, positive health, youth, excellent complexion, voice and strength of motor and sensory organs. Kalpa aviltham talks about taking a medicine in a specific form for a specific period of time and the dose is gradually increased to enhance the immune power of the body. To mention some are Teminalia chebula (ink nut), Emblica officinalis (goose berry), Terminalaria bellarica (gall), Tinospora cordifolia, Centalla asiatica, Semicarpus anacardium, Bel etc. Kayakalpa treatment is aimed at the prevention of the aging process and individuals are endowed with longevity,
Varma or Marma in the Siddha system, is also a unique memory, intellect, feature. There are secret spots lying just beneath the surface of positive health, youth, the human body and are much the same as acupuncture or excellent complexion, acupressure points. Detailed classification of these points is voice and strength of literature. Varma treatment is con-fined to available in Siddha motor andNagercoil sensory places like in south Tamil Nadu and is slowly organs extinct. becoming Qualities of a Physician
40
“If you cannot be a King be a healer”, is a famous aphorism. Physicians were regarded highly, and at times, equated to Lord Shiva. Theraiyar in his “Thaila varga-churukkam” has laid down the rules of a physician that says that he should be spiritual and have an in-depth knowledge about the functioning of three humors. He should be truthful, confident, have pure thoughts and actions and love for all human beings. He should be capable of preparing high quality drugs, have mastery over medical classics and have a detailed knowledge about geographical and seasonal variations, including knowledge about patients’ physical and mental state, dietary habits etc. “Agasthiyar Sillaraikkovai” fur-ther adds generosity, patience, hard work, and capability of overcoming greed and anger, knowledge of astrology and numerology, as the good qualities of a physician. A physician should protect a patient like an eyelid protects the eye. “Theraiyar Thaila vargachuruk-kam” insists that a physician should clean his hands many times and have a bath after examining a patient. Once the patient is cured, a physician should give the patient a bath, new clothes and sprinkle turmeric water on him. This is a good example of the knowledge Theraiyar had on communicable diseases.ARGON NAVIS STIFTELSEGtbg -sthlm-malmö området youtube sök efter anders b johansson -70 DVD Phone 0735 513997 Cellphone: 0735 613997 www.premarsagarlight.webs.com Email: andersbson@gmail.com Internet: www.premasagarlight.com www.amritaanand.com
