It reflects the teachings of the Vedas and \u015aaiva \u0100gamas, the profound Tamil scriptures Tirumurai and Tirukural and the revelations of contemporary Kail\u0101sa gurus. The Tirumurai is a twelve-book collection of hymns of numerous \u015aaivite saints. Most important among these is the Tirumantiram, a siddha yoga treatise by Rishi Tirumular, recording the \u015aaiva tenets in 3,047 verses. It is prized as the confluence of Siddh\u0101nta and Ved\u0101nta. The Tirukural, containing 1,330 couplets by the weaver saint Tiruvalluvar, is among the world\u2019s greatest ethical scriptures, sworn on in South Indian courts of law. Natchintanai are the sacred hymns of Sri Lanka\u2019s Sage Yogaswami. Tayumanavar says, \u201cI meditate on the great light of the Siddh\u0101nta, the thought of all thoughts, the life of all life, which, existing in all objects without distinction, causes a spring of inestimably pure and happy nectar to flow for the good of its followers.\u201d Aum Nama\u1e25 \u015aiv\u0101ya.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What Is the Source of This Catechism? \u015aLOKA 135The philosophical basis of this catechism is the monistic \u015aaiva Siddh\u0101nta of the Kail\u0101sa Parampar\u0101 as expressed in the Vedas, \u015aaiva \u0100gamas, Tirukural, Tirumurai, Tirumantiram and contemporary scripture.
