Thirumanthiram - Tamil | By Thiru Moolar/ Poetry Book For Yogic Wisdom And Saiva Spiritual Practice

Thirumanthiram, written by the esteemed Tamil saint and Siddhar Thirumoolar, is one of the foundational texts of Tamil Shaivism and yoga philosophy. This classic scripture, composed of mystical poetry, covers an extensive range of spiritual themes, including yoga, meditation, ethics, devotion, and enlightenment. With its 3,047 verses, Thirumanthiram is the tenth book in the Saiva Thirumurai, a collection of sacred Tamil literature.

Thirumoolar’s teachings delve into profound spiritual concepts, such as the nature of the soul, the unity of Shiva and Shakti, and the path to self-realization. The text is known for presenting the "Eight-Limbed Path" (Ashtanga Yoga) centuries before it gained prominence in other texts. Thirumanthiram also discusses the mysteries of the body and mind, the importance of ethical conduct, and the transformative power of true devotion and compassion.
