  • Sivagnana Mapadiyam - Aanavayirul

    Logical inferences can be made from studying religious texts. They have the same psycho-analytic value. This particular method is known as hermeneutics. It is accepted as a science.

    I have also tried in a minimal way to compare with the other Indian philosophies and the western philosophies.

    Besides I have also attempted to describe the Saiva siddhantham from the psychology angle. It is to be noted these Saiva texts are treasure troves of eastern psychotherapy and depth psychology.

  • Sivagnana Mapadiyam - Aanmaa Sivam

    A scientific study of the philosophy of the saiva doctrines especially the core philosophy is the aim.  Traditional way to describe them would be to take up the three core issues of the saivite ontology that are the pathi, pasu and pasam.

    In addition the iruvinai oppu,malaparibaham and sakthinibatham aspects were  compared with analytic connotations. The nittai theories and the sadhana aspects were compared with the modern insight and psychotherapy. The dheekai methods which are very much close to the psychotherapist’s style is also discussed in the last.

  • Sivagnana Mapadiyam - Perumpeyar

    Knowledge of Sanskrit also may be useful in understanding the agamic lexicon, as most of them are derived from them. The saiva-sastra texts  discuss about  a wide range of issues like ontology, cosmology, phenomenology, epistemology, logic, psycho-analysis, psychotherapy, physiology, medicine and ethics.

    However the sastra texts are not studied in depth and the interpretation varies from author to author on many issues. Besides the contemporary trends like hermeneutical and psycho-analytical interpretation are not done yet in the sastra texts.

  • Sivagnana Mapadiyam - Uyir

    Interpretation of religious texts is increasingly becoming trend in philosophy circles in India. The author tries to explain that hermeneutics as it is known has been already done in India on the older texts like the “SHIVA AGAMA “by the siddhantha scholars.

    Siddhantha itself means the deeper mind. They have the psychoanalytic contents. Topographical, dynamic and structural model of mind are explored in the siddhantha texts.

    Knowledge of psychology , theories of personality and their comparison into the siddhantha texts is an unenviable task. Because it needs expertise in both schools.

    If there is a space that connects both systems and that so close then it is quiet surprising. If this holds truth- a psychotherapy approach was present in these millennium old texts.  It is very interesting to note Monasteries have been helping the people with an ancient model of psychoanalysis and psychotherapy in the past..

About Saiva Siddhanta

From the publisher's feed

The Vedas and the Sivagamas in Sanskrit and the Tirumurais and the Siddhanta Sastras in Tamil are the principal scriptures of Saiva Siddhanta. The four authors of the first eight of the Twelve Tirumurais are called the Samaya Acharyas. They are St. Tirugnana Sambandar, St. Tirunavkkarasar, St. Sundaramurthi, and St. Manikkavachakar. The hymns of the first three are generally known as Thevaram, and those of the last as Tiruvachakam.
