Tavayogi told us that in investigating the Pindam or body one can arrive at the knowledge of the Andam or universe. In holding the end one can reach the beginning. Unlike holding on to the concept of linear, in "News of the World" a young girl who teaches Tom Hanks some words in Kiowa and their beliefs describes the earth, and the sky, with a spirit, and breath, as all a circle. Tom tells her "For us, it's more like a straight line. We are all journeying across the prairies. Straight line. And looking for that place to be. And when we find it we go straight out and plow it and we plant it all in a straight line."
Similarly, now we understand why Agathiyar and Ramalinga Adigal kept telling us to read Tavayogi's book on the tattvas. From understanding the tattvas that maketh this body, working backward, one understands the source. As the body is relative to the universe around us, a study of the former will justify a study of the cosmos too. Tavayogi gives us an idea of how creation took place in his "Andamum Pindamum" and "Atma Thathuvam". He quotes Supramaniar Gnanam 32 where it is revealed that at the beginning there was Sivan. From it emerged a sound. The vibration that resulted was Sakti. This first vibration created from the first sound was known as Akaaram. The vibratory waves that sustained this first sound came to be called Ukaaram. Maakaaram was the field that helped contain these vibratory sounds. The three came together as "that", which was to become the source of all creation, known as AUM. From that sound emerged Sivam or a spark, light, (or the divine spirit, says P.Karthigayan), neither with a form nor formless.
பரமாணுவினால் பஞ்சபூதம் உண்டானது. இவ்வுலகம் ஐம் பெரும் பூத அணுக்களால் ஆனது. இந்த ஐம்பூத அணுக்களில் உள்ள ஒவ்வொரு அணுவிலும் 96 தத்துவங்கள் அமைந்துள்ளன. இந்த தத்துவங்களே மனித சரீரத்தில் செயல்படுகின்றன. From the first atom, the Paramanu, the Panchabhutam, or 5 others, came forth, writes Tavayogi. The world emerged from these 5 atoms coming together. Each atom carried 96 Tattvas. These Tattvas function in our bodies too.
From https://www.ananda.org/yogapedia/aum/ we learn the same that "AUM is the vibration by which the Supreme Spirit brings all things into manifestation. Paramhansa Yogananda has explained that everything - all matter, all energy, all thoughts - exists in AUM." We read further that "AUM, therefore, encompasses the three vibratory energies required to create, preserve, and destroy, and each of these energies vibrates at a different frequency. The three letters of AUM represent these three vibrations inherent in creation.
In A, U, M there is an emergence as in "A", followed by sustenance as in "U" and an end as in "M" to all acts and movements. In the context of Yogam, it is interesting to note that Akaaram is linked to the left eye and Ukaaram to the right. Tavayogi explains that the breath that flows through the left nostril is known as Akaaram and that running through the right nostril is Ukaaram, creating vibrations in Edaikalai and Pingalai respectively. These Nadis vibrate creating further ripple-like vibrations, called Maakaaram, in the midst of the head. The spot where these three sounds and their related vibrations congregate is known as Suzhumunai. Agathiyar warns us that initiation into a mantra has to be given only after the flow of the breath in the nostrils is ascertained in the receiver. He tells us to hold our breath in Kumbakam long enough to chant the first Diksa mantra.
As we are part of the universe too, the physical body resonates with these vibrations, functioning effectively. Agathiyar tells us that he is this very vibration. To connect with the Prapanjam one has to rise to this state of vibration. It is a journey back home to the source. Since one formula would not work out for all of humanity the wise of the olden days had us engage in Sariyai, Kriyai, and Yogam to arrive finally at the state of Gnanam. The Siddhas are there to lend a hand to us to cross this river of ignorance and bring us ashore to the kingdom of truth. Gnanam is the dawn of divine knowledge that burns all our earlier readings and false knowledge to ashes, recreating truth from these ashes. The tattvas are the bridge to this knowledge. Once we reach the other shore the bridge is burned down. Agathiyar and Lobama in coming to us recently did just that. Showing us Prapanjam they stood beyond it and in it as Shivan and Shakti. They made us realize that what exists in truth is Verumai or Nothingness. All else was an illusion or Maya.
The divine creation sustained its creations only to destroy them. Enveloping this realization was a veil that had to be shredded to pieces. Only the grace of the divine shall come to remove this veil and bring on enlightenment. One then settles in enlightenment becoming both the knower and existence. He is the very expanse in which all creation exists. He is creation itself.
