• Thirumanthiram is a sacred Tamil text composed by the revered Siddhar and saint-poet Thirumoolar. It is one of the key texts in Shaiva Siddhanta and Tamil spiritual literature, written in poetic form with profound spiritual insights. The Thirumanthiram consists of over 3,000 verses, known as "mantras," that explore deep philosophical, yogic, and mystical teachings. This timeless text is considered a treasure trove of knowledge, merging devotion, spirituality, and the science of the soul.

Thirumoolar’s Thirumanthiram is divided into nine "Tantras" or sections, covering a wide range of subjects, from the nature of God, the soul, and the universe, to the principles of yoga, meditation, and self-realization. The text emphasizes the unity of the individual soul (Atman) with the supreme consciousness (Shiva), guiding readers toward spiritual liberation (Moksha). Thirumoolar's teachings also advocate ethical living, explaining the importance of righteousness (Dharma), love, and compassion in daily life.

The Thirumanthiram also delves into the esoteric aspects of Saiva philosophy, particularly in its discussions on the practices of Ashtanga Yoga (eight-limbed yoga), which includes yama (ethical disciplines), niyama (personal observances), asana (postures), pranayama (breath control), pratyahara (sense withdrawal), dharana (concentration), dhyana (meditation), and samadhi (state of pure consciousness).
