Siddhas
normally sit in caves or in some tree holes, but Idaikkadar used
to sit in the midst of thick jungles, where one cannot see the sun,
on a rock and meditate. He used herbal saps for oil, and in the
flame of the lamp meditated. He was an expert in transmigration.
He has written a number of poems explaining the way of controlling
the human mind. But they are written in such a way as if they are
meant for cattle. He saw the Para Brahmam in the Jyothi and as such
he loved to stay in Tiruvunnamalai. He never liked to expose his
siddhis. He was pretty good in explaining the 'Brahma Vidya'. He
attained 'Jeeva Sanadhi' in the hills of Tiruvannamalai. Ramana
Maharishi had the blessings of Idaikkar. By praying and meditating
on Idaikadar one can become a 'Janani'. |
