பரமாணுவினால் பஞ்சபூதம் உண்டானது. இவ்வுலகம் ஐம் பெரும் பூத அணுக்களால் ஆனது. இந்த ஐம்பூத அணுக்களில் உள்ள ஒவ்வொரு அணுவிலும் 96 தத்துவங்கள் அமைந்துள்ளன. இந்த தத்துவங்களே மனித சரீரத்தில் செயல்படுகின்றன.
From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tattva_(Shaivism) we understand the creation of the tattvas as follows.
The vibrant creative energy of Parashiva, known as Spanda, in wanting to execute his lila or divine play, moves him to manifest and descent to the state of jiva, through the 36 tattvas. Tattvas are used to explain the structure and origin of the Universe. They are usually divided into three groups: Suddha (pure tattvas); Suddha Asuddha (pure-impure tattvas); and Asuddha (impure tattvas).

- Suddha tattvas that are 5 in numbers are functioning in the absolute level which leads to the Five Acts or Panchakritya namely: Creation; Sustenance; Destruction; Concealment; and Grace. Ajai Kumar Chhawchharia in his "The Mahavakyas of the Upanishads" writes that "These tattvas form the basis for the growth, sustenance, and the proper functioning of all the regulatory systems within us for the continued dwelling and inhabitation of the spirit and soul within."
- The Suddha tattvas that are called pure because they are directly created by Shiva himself, describe internal aspects of the Absolute which is in its pure conscious state devoid of any desire (iccha), action (kriya) or Knowledge (jnana) related properties. This is the state of Siva. Ajai Kumar Chhawchharia compliments this statement, "Brahm would be like the primary Atom which left to itself is neutral and inactive.
- When Siva pairs with Sakti, the pairing of Siva-Sakti that is a result of desire or iccha, causes the creation of all the lower tattvas (Padaital). This pair has the two properties of jnana and kriya respectively. Ajai Kumar Chhawchharia compliments this adding that "it is only when certain changes take place in its core, such as the shift in the position of its electron, etc that the chain of reaction starts that would ultimately result in not only producing newer elements but releasing energy or absorbing matter from the surrounding atmosphere. From the primary elements came forth the secondary elements that form the second layer of elements or Tattvas of creation."
- When kriyasakti and jnanasakti of the Absolute are in equilibrium aham or self appears (Sustainance or Kaathal). This is Sadasiva tattva or Nada tattva. After the initial chaous and when things begin to settle "came the tertiary elements - the various Anatahakarans, the various Vikaars and Vrittis, the three Gunas, etc, that would form the third layer of elements or Tattvas of creation."
- The objectivation of self-awareness that "this is me"", gives rise to delusion or concealment (Maraital). This is Bindu tattva.
- The acknowledgment that “I am this,” happens in Suddha Vidya or by the grace of the divine (Arulal)
- The Suddha Asuddha tattvas Suddha Asuddha tattvas, 7 in total, are described as the "instruments" that assist the souls or Purusha in its liberation. It pairs with Maya that hides the divine nature of created beings creating a sense of separateness from each other and the Divine too. Hence the need of the guru to come along and draw the curtain or veil aside to expose the truth.
- The Asuddha tattvas include the universe and living beings that assist the existence of the soul. Asuddha tattvas numbering 24 are aspects of the Universe and physical body. The five gross elements (mahabhuta) namely: earth, water, fire, air, ether, or space are part of the list of 24 principles.
Emerging from the unseen to the seen, we and the world around appear as the finished product and the final point of manifestation is that of these five gross elements. Our job now is to trace the route back to our origin. To trace our origin the Siddhas asks us to go within.
மனிதனான ஜீவனிடம் அனுபவமும் சிந்தனையும் கூடி அறிவு பெருக்கம் ஏற்பட்டு தன் காரண நிலை நாடி ஆராயும் போது புறநிலை நாடி ஆராயும் பொது அந்நிலையில் தத்துவ விளக்கம் ஏற்படுகிறது,
writes Tavayogi.
When Siva initiated creation in association with the jothi that stood as Paraaparam, Sivam came forth from the param neither with form or formless, registering itself only as a sound. The first sound created was sustained in space. From Siva came Sakti. Sound (Natham), Sivam, and Sakti, identified as AUM, gave forth to seven forms namely: Sivam, Sakti, Sadasivan, Maheswaran, Rudran, Vishnu, and Brahma. The manifestations of the divine energy that takes various forms for its purposes is from the one source and finally merges into it once it serves its purpose. That source is light or jothi or Sivan. To understand the origin and end of param or para sorupam or Shiva or Shiva Rupaa Rupam or vettavezhi, the void that shines as jothi, is our mission says Tavayogi referring to Agathiyar's "Sowmiya saagaram". One who has attained the knowledge of the secrets of the Vettavezhi Prapancham will transform their physical form into a subtle form, and settle in the jothi that is the source of the subtle too.
வெட்டவெளி பிரபஞ்ச ரகசியம் உணர்ந்தவர்கள் தன்னுடைய தூல உடலைச் சூட்சுமமாகி அந்தச் சூட்சும உடலுக்கு ஆதாரமாக மற்றும் காரணமாக இருக்கின்ற முதலும் முடிவுமாக இருக்கின்ற ஜோதியில் ஜோதியாக இருப்பார்கள்.
At the beginning there was Sivan. From it emerged a sound. From that sound emerged Sivam or a spark, light, (or the divine spirit, as P.Karthigayan calls it), without a form or formless. The vibration that resulted was Sakti. The first vibration created as a result of the first sound was known as Akaaram (A). The vibratory waves that pursued as in the ripples in the water, came to be called Ukaaram (U). Maakaaram (M) was the field or the pond that helped contain these vibratory sound and its corresponding waves. The three came together as "THAT", that was to become the source of all creation. An assembly of these three came to be known as AUM. As we are part of the universe too, the physical body resonates with these vibrations too, functioning effectively.
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."
From https://tulsidas-ram-books.weebly.com/ we learn that "Before anything came into being, Brahm, the supreme consciousness and the ultimate truth of creation, known as Shiva, was established in his own radiant effulgence or self-illumination symbolizing his splendorous glory, majesty, and divinity. Hence he was called ‘Prakash’, literally meaning light. When he decided to deliberate and actually started the process of deliberation in order to start the process of creation, there was a subtle throb or imperceptible movement which transformed into a vibration. The waves generated by this initial vibration developed in the cosmic ether and gradually coalesced with each other to give rise to higher waves of higher amplitudes. This produced the cosmic sound called the Naad. Since the creation was conceived in the bowl of the cosmic ether, the energy of the initial sound was focused at a central point, called the focal point or the dot or ‘Bindu’. This Bindu contained the combined powers of both the male Shiva and the female Shakti like a dicotyledonous seed which produced the two separate entities called Shiva and Shakti. The union of these two resulted in the unfolding of the rest of the creation. Thus it will be observed that whatever exists in this creation can be traced back to this primeval Naad. Hence, the latter is called ‘Shabda Brahm’, or the Brahm as sound."
KR Sivakanthan in his "Sittargal Tathuvamum Yoga Neri Muraigalum", Tirunelveli Then India, Saiva Sitthantha Noor Pathippu Kazhagam, Chennai, 2003, writes on the subject of creation too. Creation began in Paraparam from which Param emerged. From Param came forth Sivan, Sakti emerging from it later, followed by Naadham. Vinthu emerged from Naadham, Sadasivam from Vinthu, and Maheswaran from Sadasivam. Uruthiran emerged from Maheswaran, Vishnu from Uruthiran, and Brahmam from Vishnu. Brahmam gave birth to the Pancha Maha Bhutam, which came about or evolved from each other. The five elements saw their beginning from the sky, from which came forth the element air. This gave rise to fire. Water emerged from the fire, and earth from water. Finally, man, animal, birds, plants, mountains, and rivers rose from the earth. The reverse takes place at the end of the cycle, all returning to the form from which they came forth.
It might seem that I am repeating these often. Initially, upon reading Paramahansa Satchidananthar's "Jeeva Bramakiya Vedanta Ragasiyam" or "ஜீவப் பிரம்மைக்ய வேதாந்த ரஹஸ்யம்" I was wondering why the author was repeating things throughout his book. Finally, he reveals that it's only with repetition that the matter will register in us. Similarly, Tavayogi would take the stage and repeat the same. Once when I asked him why he was repeating the same things in his talk, he asked me in return if I was following his dictates, referring to his audience. "It's only when you listen and follow that I can move on to the next stage", he added. The idea here is to become conscious of every thought, action, etc, and reprogram ourselves. As the subconscious mind learns through either of two ways through hypnosis and repetition, train the subconscious mind through repetition and practice says, Dr. Bruce Lipton. By repetition you talk to your subconscious he says. Repetition is a habit. The subconscious mind is habitual. Habit becomes a character. Character is embedded in the subconscious as vasanas or as in tracks on vinyl records. Hence all the more to set got habits. Reprogramming the subconscious mind will see results in life. It's no wonder that we are made to sit and repeat mantras. We are told to do the asanas and pranayama a certain number of times. We are asked to memorize the tables and alphabets. Repeating positive thoughts and talk helps keep us happy. The program designed for us was hijacked by our thoughts, desires, wishes and deeds. Instead of taking charge and living the life designed for us, we took to our train of thought. We have complicated our lives and tangled it up into a mess. But all is not lost as long as there is life in us; as long as we have the spirit that desires to see a change and the soul power needed to bring the relevant changes.
