♦ Story about the Author: Manickavasagar Swamigal:

   • Manickavasagar Swamigal is one of the most revered saints in Tamil Saiva tradition, known for his divine poetry and unparalleled devotion to Lord Shiva. Born in the 9th century CE in a village near Madurai, he was named Vadhavoorar. Highly intelligent and spiritually inclined, he rose to the position of a chief minister in the Pandya kingdom due to his wisdom and leadership.

   • His life took a divine turn when he was sent to purchase horses for the king’s cavalry. On this mission, he encountered Lord Shiva in disguise at a place called Thiruperunthurai. That moment transformed his life forever. Awakened to spiritual truth, Vadhavoorar renounced all worldly duties, wealth, and honor, choosing instead a path of devotion. From that day, he came to be known as Manickavasagar, meaning "one whose words are as precious as gems."

   • His most famous literary work is the Thiruvasagam, a collection of emotional and philosophical hymns addressed to Lord Shiva. His verses reflect deep devotion, surrender, repentance, and divine love. They are filled with spiritual insight and are considered sacred scriptures in Tamil Saivism. His works are part of the Tirumurai, the canonical collection of Tamil Shaivite scriptures.

   • Manickavasagar’s life itself is a symbol of transformation—of a worldly man turning into a saint by the touch of divine grace. His legacy lives on through his hymns, which continue to inspire, uplift, and spiritually awaken generations of devotees.
