Edaikaadar or Edaikaatu Siddhar is one of the 18 Siddhars. He is known to have mastered the art of astrology besides the 8 maha-siddhis called the Ashtama Siddhis (great yogic powers - see here ). He is known to have won what the fate had for him and the country with his Siddhis. Of all his work, the awesome and the great work describing what happens each year in the world. It is quite esoteric that you have to believe it to understand it. It cannot be considered as a prediction or specific statement of what happens during 2005, 2006 etc, but rather it seems to me as more or less a mathematical calculation.
Well, let me explain it more clearly. Describing what would happen each in the world is not an easy task and that too in a generic way. What Edaikaadar has done, is that he has divided the time frame into 60 years, named from Prabava to Akshaya, and has given the generic happenings for each of those years. Those 60 years repeat as a cycle and each year starts from April 14 to the April 13 of the next year, i.e., the Chitirai month to the Panguni Month, in the Tamil Calendar. The following table lists the names of the years (1-60). The current year is Parthiba (14 April 2005 - 13 April 2006)
The generic predictions of the happenings in each of these years have been sung by Edaikaadar as Verses called Venba in Tamil Literature. I have posted a few of those verses with their meanings
meaning, during the year Parthiba, the Srilankans would have a bad time, having their internal and external relations spoiled. Kings and Rulers of other countries would do blatant injustice. Rains will batter the world. The yield on crops would be very good.
This too seems to be correct, Rains battering all over the world, for the rest of the events we have to wait until April 2006
meaning, in the year Dhaarana, rains will fail, catastrophe and bad events would occur. The beings on earth would not attain comfort or salvation. The world would die of difficulties etc, divine activities like yaagams etc will reduce. Terrorist / Enemical threats would increase.
If we correlate Dharana year's happenings with this song and it seems concur with events like Tsunami etc happened
meaning, in the year Subanu rainfall will dwindle as a result crops would not yield in the later part of the year. Moderate benefits during the middle of the year. Cattle would die in large proportions. In total, not a good year even to a small extent
meaning, in the year Chitirabanu, rains will be good and adequate resulting in good agricultural yield. Though the year is quite good with people living a kinglike life, those involved in divine activies may have a bad time. Territorial disputes/natural land disasters/threats/fears will exist.
meaning, during the year Vishu, children will have a bad time, rains will fail during the early part of the year and water sources like lakes, reservoirs would not have their water levels increased. In the later part of the year rains will be good and consider the two parts of the year to be equal in giving benefits
meaning, during the year Vikrama, the expected rains will be lesser, crops will perish, diseases and curses will spread and during the later part of the year the rains would be remedial to the past effects
meaning, in the year Pramadhi, even the kings will be in a torment, and heed with fear that famine will strike. As a result, all the cattle would starve, and the people of the world would make an exodus with their children.
meaning, during the year Vegudhanyam, rains will set a record though during the early part of the year rains will be less. But agricultural yields will be good, but wool, cotton and salt would be destroyed.
meaning, the during the first year Prabava, humans will see deaths, problems and difficulties. Rains will be sufficient enough to grow the grass grazed by cattle. Cotton, castor and Salt will get destroyed.
meaning, during the akshaya, though crops would give a meagre yield, good deeds would be on the rise and rains will be adequate to cultivate paddy and all things will get into order.
Though I don't have a historical track of the things to prove the above songs but with the happenings we could clearly estimate that these are indeed true. We would have to wait to see if these are correct. My belief, it works!!!!

ReplyDeleteThank you very much Balaji Sir.
ReplyDeletehi prabhu you have done a great work.
ReplyDeleteI request you to arrange the Tamil years in order so it will be easy to go through.
Thanks Anonymous! Sure will do in the future posts!
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteIniya Puthandu Nalvazhthugal! Yesterday(New year-Manmadha varusam), the preiest at our local temple read the Manmadha naama varusa venba and explained it. It was the first time I heard that each year had one.
Thank you so much for the research you must have put into this and for making it available to curious minds who cannot find that much about our ancient astronomy and Siddhars. Usually, on the web, it is just one source being copied over and over and if the original had made a mistake it became fact because it was repeated so many times. I really appreciate your effort. If you know, could you please tell us what books/materials have authentic info on the subject of Sidhars, ancient astronomy/history(Guess, I did not pay that much attention in my Tamil calsses as I should have :) )?
Thanks again!
Hi Maya,
ReplyDeleteFor authentic work on/of Siddhars, you could see the books published by Thamarai Padhippagam, Saiva Siddhantha Nool Kazhagam and Saraswathi Mahal Library.
And, thank you for visiting my blog!
Arumai, Tamil Varuda venbavum Vilakkumam miga nandru. Thanks for providing the details.
ReplyDeleteThank you Govindasamy!
