IN SEARCH OF THE MYSTICS

Uvaraj has traveled far and wide in search of mystics and Siddhas and has many stories to tell. Along the way he has met many masters who tutored him on several platforms. With these vast and diversified knowledge he attempts to bring all these invaluable teachings together and mold them into a comprehensive package that is presented during the Varmam classes held for students.

He shares his amazing experiences with Siddha Heartbeat during a recent Satsang at Agathiyar Vanam Malaysia.

Having well traveled and having learnt various art forms from numerous masters, Uvaraj conveys his heartfelt thanks to all these masters through the following email to Siddha Heartbeat.

Dear Shan Ayah,

I have attached a summary of the Masters and Teachers who guided and inspired us in our Varmam Warrior Arts path. Please find the attached pictures of these masters during some of the training as well.

We felt that it is necessary to give credit to these Masters and Teachers for being the relentless in guiding and teaching us these knowledge that we bear today.

These are Masters and Teachers Who Inspired Our Varma Warrior Arts core essence and path over the years. Each one of them were responsible for teaching, guiding, inspiring and motivating us with their own ways on specific essence such as Varmalogy, Warrior Arts, Martial Arts, Siddha Medicine, Yoga, Healing, Energy Therapy, Meditation, Pranayamam, Siddha Margam, Spiritual principles and other relevant subjects.

Some of these amazing Masters and Teachers were directly responsible for transferring and teaching us ancient Varma Kalai or Warrior Arts systems and the rest were responsible for guiding us with the relevant Siddhar or Spiritual based knowledge that integrates within the Varmalogy system.

Some of these Masters and Teachers are still continuing their works till this day silently and remain the pillar of the Varmalogy and Siddhar arts in the modern times. It is an honor to give credits to these Masters and Teachers for all their tireless efforts and life works. We sincerely thank these Masters and Teachers with all our Mind, Body and Spirit for their teachings and guidance. Guruveh Sharanam!

அகத்தியர் வனப் பூசை! (Agathiyar Vana Poosai!)

A beautiful digital composition by Bala Chandran Gunasekaran 

Saravanan Palanisamy who contributes his art regularly to Siththan Arul, has dedicated a hymn to Agathiyar at Agathiyar Vanam Malaysia in his blog http://arulgnanajyothi.blogspot.com/2015/06/agathiyar-vana-poosai.html today. He first surprised us during puja at AVM sometime back by rendering a few verses from this hymn. I reproduce below his beautiful composition for readers of Siddha Heartbeat.

அகத்தியர் வனப் பூசை! 

வணக்கம்...

மகாகுரு அகத்தியர் அருளால், அகத்தியர் வனப் பூசை என்ற செய்யுளை எழுத்தும் வாய்ப்பு அடியேனுக்கு கிடைத்தது. இந்த செய்யுளை அகத்தியர் வனத்தில் நடை பெற்ற அமாவாசை பூசையன்று அவர் முன் பாடும் வாய்ப்பையும் அவர் அருளினார். அகத்தியர் அடியவர்களுக்கு இதனை அன்புடன் சமர்ப்பிக்கிறேன்.

மாந்தர் எல்லாம் வந்திடுவார் உந்தனுக்கு பூசை செய்ய,
கூடிடுவோம் நாங்கள் எல்லாம் அகத்திய வனமதிலெ,
செய்திடுவோம் யாகமுடன் அபிஷேக பூசையும் தான்,
அக மகிழ்ந்து அகத்தீசா எங்களுக்கு அருள்வாயே!

சித்தர்களும் தேவர்களும் உன்னை நாடியே,
எங்களுடன் வந்தமர்வார் உன்னை காணவே,
என்ன தவம் செய்தோம் நாங்கள் இந்த வாழ்விலே,
பெரும் புண்ணியனே உன் பாத கமலங்களை பற்றவே!

யாகமதில் சுடர் ஒளியாய் வந்து நிற்பவனே,
எங்கள் வினை அனைத்தும் சுட்டெரிக்க வந்தாய் நீயோ?
சுடர் ஒளியாய் வந்திடுவாய் பேரொளியை காட்டிடவே,
பேரொளியை காட்டியே எங்களை பரி பூரனமாக்கிடுவே!

பாலிலே நீ குளித்து பல வினைகளை அறுத்திடுவாய்!
சந்தனத்தில் நீ குளித்து சந்தான பாக்கியத்தை தந்திடுவாய்!
மஞ்சளிலே நீ குளித்து சகல மங்களத்தையும் அருள்வாய்!
பன்னீரிலே நீ குளித்து பங்கங்களை போக்கிடுவாய்!

பாங்கான பட்டுடன் மலர் மாலைகளை சூட்டிடுவோம்,
வாச மலர்களை துவியே உன் பாதத்தில் பணிந்திடுவோம்,
பழமுடன் பக்ஷினங்கள் மகிழ்வுடன் படைத்திடுவோம்,
வந்திடுவாய் அகத்தீசா ஓடோடி வந்திடுவாய்!

சேய் நாங்கள் அழைக்கின்றோம் ஓடோடி வருமப்பா!
ஓடோடி வந்து இங்கு எங்களுக்கு அருள் தருவாய்,
வையகத்தின் வாழ்வு தன்னை வாழ் வாங்கு வாழவே,
வந்திடுவாய் அகத்தீசா தந்திடுவாய் ஆசி தன்னை!

Agathiyar Vana Poosai

Greetings,

By the grace of mahaguru Agathiyar, I had the chance to write a hymn on the prayers being done at Agathiyar Vanam (Malaysia). Mahaguru also gave me an opportunity to recite the hymn in front of Him on new moon prayer held at Agathiyar Vanam. I would love to present this hymn to all Agathiyar devotees.

Maanthar yellaam vanthiduvaar unthanukku poosai seiya,
Koodiduvoam naanggal yellaam agathiya vanamathile,
Seithiduvom yaagamudan abhishega poosaiyumthaan,
Aga magizhnthu agattheesaa yenggalukku arulvaaye!

Sitthargalum thevargalum unnai naadiyeh,
Yenggaludan vanthamarvaar unnai kaanaveh,
Yenna thavam seithoam naanggal intha vaazhvileh,
Perum punniyaneh un paatha kamalanggalai patraveh!

Yaagamathil sudar oliyaai vanthu nirpavaneh,
Yenggal vinai anaitthum sutterikka vanthaai neeyoh?
Sudar oliyaai vanthiduvaai pehroliyai kaattidaveh,
Pehroliyai kaattiyeh yenggal pari pooranamaakkidaveh!

Paalileh nee kulitthu pala vinaigalai arutthiduvaai!
Santhanatthil nee kulitthu santhaana bhaakkiyatthai thanthiduvaai!
Manjalileh nee kulitthu sagala manggalatthaiyum arulvaai!
Panneerileh nee kulitthu panggangalai poakkiduvaai!

Paanggaana pattudan malar maalaigalai soottiduvoam,
Vaasa malargalai thuuviyeh un paathatthil paninthiduvoam,
pazhamudan pakshinanggal magizhvudan padaitthiduvoam,
vanthiduvaai agattheesaa odoadi vanthiduvaai!

Sei naanggal azhaikkindrom odoadi vaarumappaa!
Odoadi vanthu inggu yenggalukku arul tharuvaai,
Vaiyagatthin vaazhvu thannai vaazh vaanggu vaazhnthidaveh,
Vanthiduvaai agattheesaa thanthiduvaai aasi thannai!

LORD MURUGA, LOBHA MA, KAVERI, AGATHIYAR & SWAMIMALAI PART 2

Agathiyar over the years

Varadaraj has since then made numerous statues of Agathiyar, for devotees in India and Malaysia. Siddha Heartbeat thanks Varadaraj permission to use the following photos and the screen shots from his web page http://www.i-mok.me/index.php 

Jnana Jyothiamma was so impressed with Varadaraj's work of art, a masterpiece of Agathiyar at Agathiyar Vanam Malaysia that after her visit to Malaysia she dropped in on Varadaraj at Swamimalai. Bala Chandran Gunasekaran too made it a point to include Varadaraj's workshop in his itinerary while in India.

LORD MURUGA, LOBHA MA, KAVERI, AGATHIYAR & SWAMIMALAI PART 1

On 8 January 2009 Agathiyar gave me specific instructions on how his statue was to be made at Swamimalai and brought over to Agathiyar Vanam Malaysia (AVM) to be worshiped. I had always had the thought, why Swamimalai and not somewhere else. 

Then Rightmantra Sundar in his blog explains why Swamimalai comes to mind when one needs a bronze statue, which I had posted on 27 September 2014. Sundar says that at Swamimalai these bronze statues are made using age old traditional methods and according to the agamas, hence Swamimalai is preferred for making temple Urchava Murthis. Statues made at Swamimalai are renowned worldwide. The lost wax method of casting these statues are a specialty here. Clay or mud from the riverbanks of Kaveri used by bronze statue creators at Swamimalai is most suitable for making the molds as it captures even the most minute details, revealing even thumb prints! Today I came across a couple of well researched video explaining the same.

The post by Rightmantra Sundar revealed to me then the reason why Agathiyar wanted him to be made at Swamimalai too. Agathiyar in my Nadi reading, gave specific instructions to have his statue made and worshiped. Among the many conditions he laid was that he was to be made in the form he presided at Agasthiyampalli (Thirumaraikaadu), Vedaranyam; he was not to exceed 1 foot in height; he was to be made at Swamimalai; libation or abhisegam and prayers done on him at the Adhi Kumbeshwarar temple at Kumbakonam and only then shipped to Malaysia. 

As Agathiyar was to be in the form at Vedaranyam, I could not buy his statue off the shelf. I had to commission it. After failing to locate people who could assist me, I searched the net and e-mailed 13 manufacturers in and around Swamimalai and Kumbakonam. Through Agathiyar's grace, Varadaraj of the Bronze Creative at Swamimalai offered to have Agathiyar done as specified. Agathiyar had mentioned in the Nadi reading of 2009, that he was coming on transit to my home while awaiting the Sri Jegathguru Raghavendra Mritiga Brindavanam to be built in Ipoh. 

On completion of the Brindavanam and awaiting its consecration on 12.6.2013, I was unsure whether Agathiyar still wanted to move to the Brindavanam as stated earlier, as he had not delivered another reading to authorize my next move. I took it upon myself to inform the Brindavanam that as Agathiyar had not spoken I was not sending him over. Almost immediately a devotee volunteered to place Agathiyar at the Brindavanam. I feared that I might have erred in making the decision of keeping Agathiyar to myself. In a Nadi reading on 21.9.2014, after more than a year, Agathiyar to my relief, tells me that he had shelved his plan to go to the Brindavanam and instead decided to remain at Agathiyar Vanam Malaysia!

Recently to my surprise Agathiyar explains why he wanted his image made in Swamimalai through Jnana Jyothiamma's Jeeva Nadi reading. Agathiyar reveals that it was the wish of Lord Muruga, Lobha Ma and Agathiyar himself that he should be made at Swamimalai. He enlightens us on the significance of Swamimalai and the Kaveri River and the reason for Agathiyar to be made in in Swamimalai. Agathiyar explains that it is Lobha Ma's wish that his statues made on the banks of Kaveri (Swamimalai in Tanjai) and blessed by Swamimalai Muruga, should reach places all over the world. Although Agathiyar's image has been depicted in many forms over time, the image of Agathiyar from Swamimalai will eventually be his identity and worshiped the world over. Lord Muruga himself has conceived this image and blessed each statue made here.

Agathiyar reveals in the Jeeva Nadi that many miracles will be shown through these statues of Agathiyar. These statues will become "alive". All these will take place with Lord Muruga's blessings. Agathiyar reiterates that these miracles had taken place in Jnana Jyothiamma's presence too, reminding us of the miracle he performed at AVM. In October of 2013, we at Agathiyar Vanam Malaysia held prayers almost everyday during Jnana Jyothiamma's stay in Malaysia. During the libation or abhisegam, Agathiyar most graciously opened his eyes to bless all those present!

A BOOST FOR SIDDHA HEARTBEAT

The sacred feet of Agathiyar as in Agathiyar Vanam Malaysia, created by Varadaraj of the Bronze Creative, Swamimalai. Digital art by Bala Chandran Gunasekaran of Malaysia.

Siddha Heartbeat has been kind of a Yellow pages for people seeking information about the Siddhas since day one. We have been "promoting and sort of advertising" Agathiyar and the Siddhas; their samadhis; their ever mysterious and mystical Nadi which form the Voice of the Siddhas; their works on Bakthi, Yoga and Jnana; the ashrams related to them and the many Gurus running these ashrams including Tavayogi Thangarasan Adigal; the numerous disciples on the road to Guru-hood including Jnana Jyothiamma; and carried all things related to the Siddhas.

This is seen all the more necessary in the wake of being told that this is the beginning of the era of the Siddhas; hence the urgent need to bring more people to the folds of the Siddhas; Agathiyar appreciating this blog and asking to use this wonderful medium and other information technologies on hand to help spread further his teachings and the Siddha path as revealed in the Nadi readings; Jnana Jyothiamma given the green light to share about the Siddhas revelations that will come our way through the medium of the Nadi; with Agathiyar progressively encouraging the establishment of temples and ashrams related to Siddhas including a new one being currently erected by Tavayogi Thangarasan Adigal; with Agathiyar igniting the worship of Siddhas either through the Nadi or in other subtle ways in many individuals; with Agathiyar bringing the Siddhas into the homes of these devotees; with a promise that Agathiyar's statues made along the banks of Kaveri (Swamimalai) would prevail and become prominent, a request put forward by Lobha Ma; and finally bringing together many individuals, forming a network, to serve and carry out his (Agathiyar's) mission. 

Many have written in to express their thanks after finding what they seeked for in the pages of Siddha Heartbeat, 716 posts to date. I am pleased and it gives me satisfaction that Siddha Heartbeat has served well over the past 2 years, fulfilling its tag line, An Avenue that Showcases the Workings of the Siddhas. I share some of their encouraging mails, giving me a reason to continue, since many a times I had thought about calling it a day.

• om agasthisaya namaga...thanks for uploading videos in you tube. its very nice...i hear it everyday.

• i have seen your blog sir.. Agathiyar kirupai. very nice to see.

• Greetings Sir, My name is ..... and I am from Klang. I have been reading your articles for the past 2 months repeatedly as I find it really amazing and gives me a sense of spirituality every time I read it. It is really amazing to know that you have experienced many miracles throughout your trip to India.

• Dear Shanmugam, I have just read your inspiring pilgrimage notes to Tamil Nadu with Swami Tavayogi! Thanks so much for sharing part of your journey with a spiritual traveler from afar.I would like to make contact with you and Swami Tavayogi, and share more about our common interests. Wishing you the very best in your journey, and looking forward to being in touch! Jai Guru!

• I have read your account of your trip to southern India and am very inspired to make the journey in the next couple of years. I have been a devotee of Yoganandaji for 30 years and hope to make this pilgrimage, guided by Swami Supramania. Do you think that might be possible?

• Thank you sir for this enlightening post. I read another wonderful post by you about agathiar saying that he is inside all of us and and we all are inside him, but I cannot find that post again. I would kindly request you to tell the title of the post or please post another beautiful article on the same revelation by father agathiar!

• Dear Shanmugam - I got up this morning to discover that you had indeed replied to my question on YouTube as to where to get more information. I spent most of this morning reading your very well-written blog! Thank you for response and your blog. My introduction to Agastya and siddhas started a while back following the agasthiar.org website, and more recently when I started reciting His "Karya Siddhi Malai", and various prayers to Sri Lalitambika. I am Malaysian, resident in Singapore for a long ...

• Sir, My name is .... and i am living in singapore, i read your blogspot and decided to join the siddhar follwer community activity in singapore. Nandri . vanakam

• Dear Mr. Shanmugam Avadaiyappa, My name is .... and I am residing in Malaysia. I have been reading about your spiritual journey in regards to Agathiyar teaching and Tavayogi as your Guru. Is it possible for me to meet and discuss with you about spiritual matters which I believe that you might be able to help me? I have been praying to Lord Agasthiyar to show me the path and someone that might be able to help me along the way. Thank you for your time and help.

• Dear Shanmugam, Read your article in the web regarding Agathiar and different Siddhars. Pls help to send me more info regarding these Siddhas. What are you doing currently. Do you still keep in touch with Tavayogi. 

• Dear Brother, I read your book in scribd (https://www.scribd.com/shanmugam%20avadaiyappa) and much inspired about your development. I too in the same wave length and my inspirations are.

• Hello, My name is .... I have a question about the Konganar cave or any other cave siddhas used for meditation/Samadhi. How did they find their way in and out of there without light source? Is there a siddhi for manifesting light? Thanks for your time!

• Sir, It is not fair to expect you to remember me. However, I had been in touch with you after reading your blog on Agastyar. I have been asked by ...., even though she has given up her mortal coils, to do ...... I have no concept of what it is and what it means. May I request your good offices to help me find the answer? Regards.

• I have been reading some of the travel stories published on the internet and have seen your pictures from them in the past couple of years. These act like an incredibly strong magnet but have never tempted to contact you. About 2 years ago I visited Krishnaveni amma near Papanasam and this was thanks to you otherwise I would never have been able to locate her. She among other have transformed my life completely. I had the honour of staying with her in the daytime a whole 2 days. Also the small Agathiar shrine next to her ignited the inner fire straight up. Now I know this is just one place and there are many just waiting to teach those who are thirsty for it. So I feel it is time to just contact you and and go straight to the point. What are the chances for me to join up with you (Tavayogi) for a couple of weeks just meditating in the amazing Tamil Nadu treasures as my longing for this is bigger then anything else in the world. I will be going to India in February and March 2013 and if you are open for such a request just name the dates and financial support needed and I will be there. I hope this is not too straight forward and I am already grateful enough to be able to talk to you as you already showed me a very small but life changing area of southern Tamil Nadu that I will never forget. Yours truly,

• Respected sir, I am ...... aged 36 yrs old. I saw urs Pilgrimage tour to Sivanmalai and then to Konganars cave. I saw those beautiful of the caves and the temple.

I hope we can stay in touch during our spiritual quests, and look forward to meeting you. Again, thanks for the information. Jai Guru,

• அய்யா ஒரு உதவி. நிறைய குரு மார்கள் இப்போது தோன்றிவிட்டார்கள்.பிறப்பின் நோக்கம் சாகா கலைகற்று சிவனை அடைவதே என்ற தெரிந்தது.ஆனால் அவற்றை அடைய பாதை தெரியவில்லை.குரு அருள் வேண்டி குருவை தேடி வருகிறேன்.குரு வை காண்பது எப்படி என்று என்னை வழிநடத்த உதவி வேண்டுகிறேன்

• Respected Sir, My name is ...., from Bangalore. I wanted to visit Tirunelveli, Brahmarishi hills, nambi hills, tiruvannamalai and spend at least a few days with the Enlightened Siddhars, if GOD permits. Sir I don't speak Tamil but can understand a little. I am planning to meet Shri Maha Shiv Swamy on the day of guru poornima this month on 15th.

So please be kind enough to help me in my quest as soon as possible. I am also practicing certain yoga for the past 5-6 years now. Any information will be helpful Sir. Thank You Sir, 

• Feeling truly blessed to have been graced to visit Agatiar Vanam at last and meet shri.Shanmugam and his lovely wife.i was sitting infront of Agastiar for quite sometime hoping and praying He would open His eyes and grace me through Nayana deeksha. Shanmugam sir said that guruji was so very happy. I humbly bow down at the lotus feet of Guru Agastiar for His kind grace. He has accepted me at last.

• Thanks a lot Shanmugam. this is a massive amount of information you have here in the book. How do you use it? Perhaps a part of it everyday? Do you have any books on specific Siddhars like Bogar, Pulipani, Nandi Devar, Karuvurar, Konganar, Avvai? If yes, where do you buy these? Is there an online source & are these available in English. I cant read Tamil very well, though i speak the language fluently. Thanks again for the wonderful work you are doing to bring the common man close to the Divine Masters, Wishing you & your loved ones many blessings from the Masters,

• Dear Brother, I read your book in scribd (https://www.scribd.com/shanmugam%20avadaiyappa) and much inspired about your development.

I am currently reading Fire of Devotion written by you. Please share any other books, that you feel will improve my knowledge and devotion on the siddhas. Though I believe in the siddhas, and have some knowledge about few of them , I am not aware about all the 18 of them. Any material about them would be helpful.

The experience that I had left me shaken for a bit :)  Warmest regards.

• Hari Om dear spiritual Aspirant, My name is ..... and I went through the details of your travel in India, it was amazing phenomenon and very motivating. There is something that you have mentioned about the nadi reading that Sage Agastiyar had promised. Is this the nadi reading which is going on in Vaitheswaran? If so, which particular nadi astrologer did you see? Seem to be very accurate. I have a plan of making a pilgrimage to some of the places that you have mentioned. Especially Agastiyampelli, Courtrallam Babaji's sadana place, Siddha Bogar Palani and Ramaliga Swamigal's place Vellore. Since you have the experience going to these sacred places, could you give some advise which I should be aware of. You travel is truly inspiring, may God bless you and grant you the wishes that you are seeking for. Thank you.

Some spoke about Tavayogi and Mataji and the Kallar ashram after having visited them

• Vanakkam Sir, I had been to Kallar for the homam. It was indeed a great pleasure! Every experience of Kallar make me blissful I could identify Gnana Jyothiamma and went to speak to her. I have been following Siththanarul and so knew the person who drew the sketch. I was happy to see all of them. I hear your Siththan vakku upload almost everyday! I have noted some specific points in it. Especially Chathurthi and its importance. That audio has got lot of answers to my questions. once or twice i had called mathaji and fortunately I spoke to Swamiji. But that day alone I feel yes I am blessed by Agathyar! Anyways I feel hearing from you all and meeting people is my last jenmas remembrances! With your blessings

VARMA KALAI - A GIFT FROM THE SIDDHAS PART 2

Uvaraj wrote in to thank Siddha Heartbeat for featuring Varma Kalai and furnished more information regarding this art of self defense and healing.

"The Varmam details is very well written. So simple and yet so informative. So beautifully done. Anandham."

"I have attached a few resource files that will be very useful for the Varma Kalai articles for the Siddha Heartbeat blog."

"These are some compiled notes and articles from many sources online that we find very useful in explaining about Varma Kalai in its essence and how the siddhas and their knowledge is related to it. These notes are the ones which I find easily understandable and states the basis of Varmam."

"There is one file titled 'Varmam Warrior Arts' and this is a summary of our Varma class that we teach. Our Varmam system is referred as 'Varmam Warrior Arts' as we don't just teach the Martial Arts side of Varmam but integrate others warrior essence such as meditation, yoga, breath work, siddha principles and other relevant studies." 

VARMAM WARRIOR ARTS

VARMA KALAI (the art of vital points) is the ancient Indian martial art form that manipulates vital points in the body, which can be used both for self-defense, healing and spirituality. Varma Shastra belongs to the very Ancient Siddha Tradition rising from the South of Ancient India. VARMAM WARRIOR ARTS, is a dynamic martial system of life that merges the Ancient Siddha’s Varmalogy system with modern warrior ways.

With balance in all forms as essence, our VARMAM WARRIOR ARTS system covers mixture of ancient VARMA KALAI martial training combined with modern defenses, health, healing, spiritual and fitness training that includes these core structures within the system:

- Varmam Vasi (Breathing)

- Varma Kavasam (Inner Power)

- Tarkhapu Varmam (Varma Defense)

- Pancha Por Murai

- Varma Weapons

- Kuttu Varisai

- Warrior Yoga

- Varma Meditation

- Varma Healing (Adangal)

- Varma Vital Point Therapy

- Varma Energy Therapy (Meitheendha Kalai)

- Varma Siddha Herbs

VARMAM WARRIOR ARTS primarily focuses on developing the Warrior essence by understanding the optimal being state for the modern living. Our classes will present in depth meaning and understanding of living as a warrior by;

• Educating the diversity of the Warrior Arts training and their application in modern day.

• Layering the Mental, Physical, and Spiritual aspects of these Warrior Arts.

• Exploring many different Warrior Arts application within the Varmalogy system.

• Studying Ancient Yogic arts and Warrior Healing applications within the Varmalogy system.

• Discovering Modern, Ancient, and Spiritual importance of Warrior Arts in Modern world.

Our mission is to explore, educate and experience the commonality of Warrior Arts within the Ancient Varmalogy System and make it available in its evolved form for today’s needs.

The core backbone of the Varmam Warrior Arts is Varmalogy System of life, Martial application and Healing System. This is our main focus. Through our experience to make the art more accessible as a way of life we needed to continually evolve the structure, just like everything else evolves in life naturally.

In essence it is based on the Great Siddhas ancient teaching, adapted for every day beyond it in a new perspective. The Warrior ways of the ancient days must be adapted for today’s warriors needs or else everything becomes stagnant and ‘non-alive’.

Some interesting facts came to light while browsing through Uvaraj's notes.

• Thirumoolar directly and indirectly quotes about varmam points in relevance with chakras and breathing cycle, using various concepts based on Aayul Pareetchai, Aathaaram, Kalai Nilai, Sara Nilai, and Vaara Soolam etc.

• Varmam has grown under three independent schools of thoughts, mainly governed by three ancient Siddha’s namely Agathiyar, Bhogar and Rama Devar, hence arriving at three school of thoughts, Agathiyar School of Thought, Bhogar School of Thought and Rama Devar School of Thought.

• Varmam has relationship with other fields like Siddha Medicine, Ayurveda, Yoga, Astronomy, Psychology, Tantra, Anka Sasthra and many others.

• Varmam is one of the main streams within siddha medicine.

• Among ayurvedic text, there is no separate text for varmam. But in the text ‘Astangahridayam’, written by Vakpatar, he speaks about 107 varmam points in human body. Some other ayurvedic texts also contain sparse information about varmam points.

• Every yoga asanas has its effect on certain group of varma points enabling proper health, flexibility, mobility and physique. 

• Siddhas, who developed varmalogy, studied where and when rays from all the planets and moons in the solar system reaches Earth and act on human body and based on their studies, they have created various varmam texts which studies varmam points in relationship with the rays from the planes and moons and their consequence on human body.
