How I Contacted Siddhar Thirumoolar
by Desika Nadadur(See sanskrit transliteration scheme)
In February 2005, I took initiation into Level-1 of Babaji’s Kriya Yoga and in April 2005, into Level-2. In Level-2, we were given a list of names of siddhas (meaning, “perfected beings”) and deities—all are infinite intelligences—and we were told the qualities of each intelligence. We were asked to choose based on what resonated with us and what qualities we wanted to invoke within ourselves, at that time. We got initiated into one mantra of our choice from that list. When they described the list, one of the descriptions was about siddhar tirumUlar (from now on I will use the more popular spelling and form, “Thirumoolar”). However, I did not take that mantra at that time, instead I got attracted to the mantra of Lord Muruga (also known as, skanda, kArtikEya, kumara, sanat kumara and subramanya). He is also known as, “The Lord of Siddhas.”
Few months passed. Around early June 2005, I happened to be at my friend’s (he is also my music teacher) place, as he was giving a lecture-demonstration on Ayurvedic cooking. (yummy!) When we were all eating, he started talking to somebody and I happened to be nearby. I overheard him talk about how he got a message from Thirumoolar to do an internet search for a certain, “51 syllable Siva mantra,” so he can practice and teach to his music students. He had not started to teach that mantra, yet. This time, I strangely got attracted to the name “Siddhar Thirumoolar.” But, I did not ask about it. I felt, if I needed it, I would surely get it somehow. After that I forgot about it completely.
A couple of days later, I started to get this urge to find this mantra. I thought that I was just making it up. So, I ignored it. I kept getting this thought constantly. One week passed. I was just seeing, if that was just a random thought and would pass. But, it was not, and I could not resist it any longer. So, I googled, the terms, “51 syllable Siva mantra Thirumoolar.” The first site that popped up was, Thirumoolar’s Siva Yoga site. Here, I found the following mantra (also available in Tirumandiram
Om
Si va ya na ma
ya na va Si ma
ma va ya na Si
Si ya na ma va
va Si ma ya na
Om
For further details on this mantra and Siva yoga, visit the site. I practiced this mantra for about five minutes everyday, with the intent of contacting Siddhar Thirumoolar. Barely a week had passed. Then, on July 10, 2005, I had the following vision. I am quoting my journal entry below, with a few grammatical and spelling corrections.
Contact with Siddhar Thirumoolar (July 10, 2005)
Early this morning, I had a profound awakening from sleep. I didn’t know, if I was dreaming or awake. I saw red lasers emitting from my third eye. At the other end of the rays, there was a figure the half the size of my little finger. The figure was burning red surrounded by intense flames the color of the sun. I couldn’t make out who that was.
The figure said, “Your third eye is open and I want to enter.”
My head was already feeling burning hot from the flames from the figure.
I asked, “Who are you? Why should I let you in?”
Then, the figure said, “I am Thirumoolar and I want to help you.”
To that I said, “I surrender. Please help me.”
At that moment I saw my forehead split open. For a brief period I saw a bearded man in that opening. My head became unbearably hot. But, I was not afraid at all.
Then, the scene changed. I saw myself climbing the stairs in our home. My wife was coming down.
She asked, “Why are you like that?”
I replied, “Thirumoolar entered me. I am going to the pooja (meditation) room. I will talk to you after that.”
Then, the scene changed again. I found myself in Tiruchanoor (my native place in India). My father, my uncle and several other elders were sitting in a circle with piles of papers in front of them.
I asked, “What is all this?”
My father answered, “We are translating scriptures in Tamil to English.”
I nodded.
I was about leave and my father asked, “I forgot your guru’s name. What is it?”
I smiled and said, “Thirumoolar.” I left the room.
The vision ended there and no more after that.
In the morning, I was contemplating, if Kriya Babaji arranged for me to meet Siddhar Thirumoolar. A voice arose in me that said, “Obey Thirumoolar. He is also your guru.” I said to myself, “Okay.” The contemplation ended there.
Siddhar Thirumoolar is full of divine love and compassion. He is fiery in nature, like the brilliant sun, burning away the darkness of ignorance in me.
In few days after I got this vision, I received a message to get initiated into Siva yoga offered from the website mentioned above. As of writing this article, I have been initiated into and practicing Step-4.
I hope this article serves as an inspiration to any of you who are interested in contacting the great Siddhar Thirumoolar to ask for help on your path to self-mastery, enlightenment and ascension. Great ascended masters like him are available all around us to guide us in our quest for Truth.

This is interesting but also disturbing, how can one be sure the entity coming into the third eye
is who it says it is and is not something trying to feed the ego? Why are people calling this mantra a 51 lettered mantra, there are only 5 letters to the mantra, and they are repeated in 5 different ways adding up to 25 + 1 Om letters. For anyone that knows basic maths that would make this a 26 lettered mantra! In that case, anyone who knows how to add up will understand this is only half of the 51 lettered mantra and another 5 lined variant of nama sivaaya exists and Thirumoolar has left it up to the devotee to find the other permutations in his Thirumandiram and put them together to make the full 51 letters either that or he is giving a clue that namasivaya is in all 51 petals of the chakras and whose nature is no different from the 51 Sanskrit letters. It seems Master Thirumoolar doesn’t give everything away so easily, but at least he is generous enough to have given half! So please call this one the 26 lettered Mantra. Jai Thirumoolar!
March 10th, 2008 at 10:04 am
Dear Anandakantha,
Thanks for your comment.
My experiences with Siddhar Thirumoolar go beyond words that are used in this article. In the article, though egotistically I asked the question, “Who are you?” I knew instinctively it was Siddhar Thirumoolar even before he answered my question, and therefore I cannot attribute it to any other entity. I cannot convince you either way, and I cannot satisfy everybody’s ego. I consider Siddhar Thirumoolar as my spiritual elder brother (per his request) and also as an aspect of my higher self. The joy and love I feel in his presence cannot be expressed in words.
If you had read my article carefully, you would have noticed that I did not say it was, “51 lettered” mantra, I said it was “51 syllable” mantra. In each letter there are actually two sounds, for example, in “na” there are “n” and “aa,” and that sound originates from two different parts of the body.
You are right that Thirumoolar meant that every one of 51 sanskrit letters is infused with Siva.
That said, I don’t mind calling the mantra a 26 lettered mantra, 51 lettered mantra, Siva matra, Thirumoolar’s siva mantra or even Anandakantha’s siva mantra. I am sure that Siddhar wouldn’t mind it. I don’t believe that a finite name can capture the infinite.
Ego gets inflated when we start fighting over semantics, rather than focusing on what the mantra and Siddhar are pointing to.
Cheers,
Desika
March 10th, 2008 at 11:22 am
Desika,
It was an attempt to help you figure out the true 51 lettered Mantra but it seems Master Thirumoolar has come to our aid. No semantics don’t have to inflate the ego, but they can clarify it, for what is the Thiramandiram but the purest explanation of the divine semantics of Saiva Siddhantha?
Here is the full 51 lettered Mantra pranayam and you can republish it here if you like as such:
1 + OM (inhale silently thinking OM)
Exhale say or sing: SI VA YA NA MA
forwards: evolution YA NA VA SI MA
25 letters MA VA YA NA SI
SI YA NA MA VA
VA SI MA YA NA
+
backwards NA YA MA SI VA
Involution VA MA NA YA SI
25 letters SI NA YA VA MA
MA SI VA NA YA
MA NA YA VA SI
= 51 Lettered Mantra of Thirumoolar, so he gave everything for those that have eyes to see and here he is giving it for all eyes to see! SIVAYANAMA!!!!! His grace is infinite! Enjoy the nrithya of Siva’s yoga.
Jai Thirumoolar!!!
March 10th, 2008 at 11:28 am
P.S. yes you said 51 syllabled but in the Thirumandiram it is translated as 51 lettered mantra, either way can be seen to be right.
March 10th, 2008 at 2:00 pm
Siva’s name is meant to encompass the infinite:
Sa = illumination of Peace
i = Causal Body
va = Union with the Infinite
March 10th, 2008 at 2:02 pm
Dear Desika,
While you may not believe that a “finite name can capture the infinite,” you must realise that this is the express purpose of Siva’s name: Sa = Ilumination of Peace, i = causal body, Va = Union with the Infinite.
March 10th, 2008 at 3:41 pm
Dear AnandaKantha,
Thank you for eliciting a different pranayama technique using the same mantra.
Thirumoolar is amazing in his vast knowledge of yoga techniques and he seems to know what each person needs for his/her evolution and give very specific techniques tailored to each one.
I am very thankful to you for discussing the mantra here. I am sure that visitors of this page will immensely benefit from your explanation.
BTW, I only said that “arguing” about semantics inflates the ego, and not the semantics themselves.
Thank you again.

It is a great priveledge to share the knowledge on this page that came as a result of inquiry. This questioning is designed to pierce the intrinsic meaning eluded to in the literature, and reveal the hidden 26 letters obtained by reversing the first, which thankfully divine intelligence graciously revealed. If we can think of the right questions, sometimes we find the right answers
I am very grateful to you for making this page on Thirumoolar that allowed such inquiry to arise and to be spontaneously answered. 51 syllables are dancing in Siva’s bliss. I invite you to try it, if you are so inclined and see how it works.

Dear desika Nadadur,
While searching for Thirumoolar the great sage, Gurudev and the disciple of My great celestial master, Nandikeshwara I landed on your page. Long ago when i wanted to practice babaji’s Kriya yoga I requested for blessings from My Gurudev and he had replied to me to go for shiva yoga. Your article is thought provoking and revealing. I had my gurudev’ s blessings through Naadi leaves and now when i read about shiva yoga i wanted to get initiated into it.Kindly guide me in this regard. let your spiritual experience enlighten the uninitiated!!

Dear Ravee,
Siva Yoga initiation is given by Sivakami Om Anandi. This is the same link I provided in this article. You can practice the 51 syllable mantra and the Soham meditation technique given in the introductory page at that site. Those two are prerequisites for the advanced techniques. After you practice these for a while (it is necessary that you memorize the 51 syllable mantra for latter techniques) you can contact Sivakami Om Anandi for advanced Siva Yoga techniques by filling in an application form on that site. She is very helpful in answering questions and giving guidance. I have found these techniques to be very powerful in elevating my consciousness.
Please let me know, if I can be of further assistance.
Love and Light (LnL),

Happy to meet in the spirit of your life’s and this is our meet because I had initiated by thiruMoolar directly without any linkages it is my self interest because of my self interest My ThiruMoolar says you are in the correct path who had found me in the life path of initiating the Moolar directly himself without the mantra afterwards I had studied the ThiruMandiram in Tamil. Just you feel if only i read the hymns of Thirumandiram I could follow the Moolar’s word or phrases as experiences of my owns . Completely stop reading of Moolar’s story or any other scripts written by other authors I had bought the ThiruMoolar’s ThiruMandiram of my own thread I had picked up only the hymns of ThiruMandiram it is only reference. Why I ‘m telling this means what experience I have every day is ThiruMooolar is the Self or in another word he is My awakened body because ThiruMoolar spells without this body you can’t realize you as same as kriya nagaraj. So on conclusion I’m being I’m being I’m being. Om Sivaya Namah : You can also enjoy it by you’re own. - Raaja . B (Salem - TamilNadu - India)

Dear Friends,
Its an amazing experience to read all the divine contacts with Siddhars. We are all so blessed to even talk, read about these noble souls. If some of you can experience them inside you; i am sure you all are very much blessed. Having worshipping “Pathinen Siddhars” (18 Siddhars) since Aug 2006, i am not so fortunate as some of you to reach those heights that you did. My belief on them just reaches the zenith when i read the above articles. We can do somethings that these wonderful souls did. We can help people by some way according to our strength. Show mercy and love to wounded birds, animals and even our fish in the fish tank. True to a line that inspires me from a song in kalathur kannama which goes “E Erumbum Un Padaipil Inimai Kanuthae” (Even flies and ants are blessed in your creation). This song is in praise of Tamil Siddhar Kadavul Lord Muruga. I strongly urge you all to get a picture of 18 siddhars, frame it and keep in pooja and worship. If possible please visit Jeeva samadies of siddhars. We have one in chennai where Patinathar became a Lingam and still bless us all at Tiruvotriyur. We can feel wonderful vibrations if we go and sit in the temple and meditate.
Pathinen Siddhar Thuthi Paadal (18 Siddhars worship song)
“Nandhi agathiyar moolar punnakeesar natravathu pulathiyarum
Poonaikannar kanthi idaikaadarum bogar pulikai eesar
karuvoorar konganavar kalangi anbir sithu azukannar
agapeyar pambatti therayarum kuthambaiyarum sattainathar
senthamizh seer siddhar patinen mar patham
sinthai unnai sirathaniyai serthi vazvam.

Dear Muthu Kumar,
Thank you for taking time to comment. The poems are very nice.
One thing that I should say is that the Tamil Siddhars were against “external idol worship.” It is okay to get their pictures as a mark of respect for the state they are in. It is okay to use their pictures or form as conduit to go within yourself. But, if it becomes another ritualistic external worship that does not take you within, then it is not worth it.
As you may know Siddhars were rebels and non-conformists of their time. They want you to be independent and not be emotionally dependent on them. Respect them, love them, be taught by them. But, know that they treat all of us as equal to them and want you to approach them in the same way.
Please see here for the advice that Siddhar Thirumoolar gave me regarding worshipping him: Brotherhood of the Spirit—My Contemplation.
Thanks for your thought provoking comment.

interesting and abosrbing details.
with aging humans become less materialistic and more spiritual.
i too longing to expereince, but can any one go thru this motion or they have to destined.
to confess i may only have the intention, but iam not sure the step i take is it enough or i am not destined not take the enough steps.
my expereince journey started when i came with the contact of “bogar siddhar” confluence. i am blessed thee to have their constant touch which helps me by way of checking what is store for me for the day / future.
iam more in the position of keen to know more about my future, so iam getting to know more about the siddha principle
July 9th, 2009 at 10:56 am
Dear Iyer,
Your thinking that you want to follow the Siddha path itself shows that you are destined. You said you have the intention only. That is a start and the next step is to harness its power by taking action. You can start by taking Babaji Kriya Yoga or Thirumoolar’s Siva Yoga initiation. Links are provided in the article. Siva yoga is given online for free. Babaji’s Kriya yoga is given worldwide for nominal donation–please check their website for a nearest location to you.

Jai,
You are absolutely right about the divine beings knowing the internet. In fact, they have been using it to contact people. I have known instances of Babaji and Thirumoolar asking some of their disciples to either start blogs/websites or search for particular keywords on the internet to find material to benefit the disciple.

December 10th, 2009 at 11:52 pm
Hi,
Thank you very much for sharing the divine experience. I actually stumbled upon this blog and I consider this as the divine willl of saint thirumoolar. I had this vision of him blessing me in Srirangam (that was so many 1000 years ago) in sleep some time in the month of August in 2006. I have been an avid seeker of spiritual info from the Internet as well as books for the last 5 years after I got initiated in to Yoga. I was blessed to come in contact with mahavatar babji through the book ‘Autobiography of Yogi’ from my Yoga master.
For the past few months, I have been praying to Sage Agastya and I consider this initiation in to this mantra, the divine will of Lord Arunachala, Sage Agastya , Thirumoolar and Mahavatar Babaji.
Thanks
December 17th, 2009 at 6:31 am
Thank you very much. I was looking for something like this. I had read about 18 siddhas and I wanted to get in touch with them but it will be like i should go alone to their place or pay for it. This time i prayed Lord shiva and to my suprise i felt that i should go and search “sivayoga”. and this is it. I have started 51 syllable mantra from yesterday. Today i felt like drunken .It was so great, thanks a lot.
December 22nd, 2009 at 7:05 am
Dear All
Its is great message to human beings and your experience with Siddhar Thirumoolar is quite intutive and is an inspiration for person like me who are in search of the supreme.We are blessed that Thirumoolar has showered his blessing on us that is the reason we have come across such a nice information.

Sorry I don’t know the mantra for Siddhar Konkanavar. One idea is, you can chant the mantra given here for Siddhar Thirumoolar and request him to get you in touch with Siddhar Konkanavar. That could work!

I came across this site thorough one of my friend. You shared really an amazing experience with us. I was so atracted towards the manthra and started to chant since yesterday. I am little curious about the 52 words in teh manthra. When I counted it only has 26(including the Om) but not 52. Then later I realized was it could be due to the combination ‘Uyir+Mei’ characters in tamil? For e.g: Va = Aa + ivh ? I am not sure whether myunderstanding towards the 52 manthra is correct or not. kindly advise.
Thanks
Malar
February 8th, 2010 at 9:34 am
Malar,
Analyzing whether the mantra is 25 lettered, 51 syllabled, or 52 syllabled is all just a mental exercise and does not lend its power to you through that analysis. Only chanting it does. The deeper meaning is that 51 letters of the Sanskrit alphabet vibrate with the power of “Om Na Ma Si Va Ya”.
I hope this helps.
Thanks,
Desika
February 8th, 2010 at 11:51 pm
Hi Desika,
thanks for explanation. It was just out of curiosity I asked that question. Anyhow, I have already started chanting the manthra for the past 2 days continously. Thanks for sharing

There are several mantras of Skanda/Kartikeya/Subrahmanya. Here is one that I know of.
Om sang subrahmaNyam
When you chant aloud or mentally it would sound like this:
Ong sng su brng maN yam
Meaning:
Ong — primordial vibration
sng — Siva - Wisdom
su — Ganesha — Integration of celestial and physical bodies., i.e. your entire being.
brng — Kartikeya/kumAra/subrahmanya — Warrior, fearless expression, youthfulness
maN — Saraswati - flow of beauty and creativity
yam — Krishna - heart energy - playfulness, enchantment.
I hope this helps.
Thanks,
Desika

Dear Shukla,
I think Desika’s busy with his work. I will take the freedom of pointing you to the path which I walk. Check out this site : www.sivayoga.com ; Here the teachings of Siddhar Thirumoolar are presented and relayed by Sivakami Om Anandi. I personally found them highly beneficial and would recommend that to anyone who desperately needs to advance systematically in the spiritual path. All the best!

Hi Jai,
Thanks for replying.
I replied to Manjeet Shukla directly over email, as I have already posted the same answer many times over in the comments above. Looks like it is time to write up a FAQ!
Thanks again for taking time to answer the question.
Desika
