Esoteric Edaikaadar - Part 2

We have already seen about Edaikaadar and his predictions in the previous post Esoteric Edaikaar. Edaikaadar is also believed to be a disciple of another Siddhar called Bogar. Bogar is the one who installed the Navapaashana Statue at Palani Hills. Bogar is said to be of Chinese origin and travelled extensively all the way to Tamil Nadu; prepared and installed the Navapaashana Statue. More about Bogar in a later post, but Edaikaadar being the disciple of Bogar is illustrated in his songs as he mentions about China in his predictions. So, it seems that he would also have visited China with Bogar.

Let us see the predictions he mentioned about last year (Viya), this year (Sarvasithu) and the next five years (Saravadhaari, Virodhi, Vikrudhi, Kara, Nandhana). The songs go like this

Viya



"Viyavarudam Maari Vilaivundaam Cheenam
Suya Vaazvudanae Sugamaam Uyarvaam
Pathinettu Viththum Pathivaai Palikkum
Sathir Peru Nallakkam Migumthaan"

meaning in the Viya year there will very good rainfall and all the 18 major crops will grow well. China will grow to be self-sufficient. And good deeds and yaagams will rise on this planet.

Viya Varudam - Viya Year
Maari - Rains
Vilaivu - Growth of Crops
Cheenam - China
Suya Vaazhvu - Self Sufficiency
Sugam - Comfort, Happiness
Uyarvu - Promotion and good fortune
Pathinettu - Eighteen
Viththum - Crops
Pathivaai - Register (usually an event), Surely
Palikkum - Happen for sure
Sathir - Boundaries
Perum - Receive
Nall - Good
Yakkam - Yaagams
Migum - Rise

I guess China is establishing itself in a global level and there was indeed a good rainfall too last year. The next song relates to this year (April 2007 - March 2008)

Sarvasithu



"Sarvasithu Thannil Avathil Palavum
Ore Pathinettu Vithuthum Ongum Perumaiyudan
Mikka Vilaivindaam Menmaelum Maariyundaam
Thakka Sugam Perugum Thaan"

meaning, during Sarvasithu all the 18 crops will have good yield. Rains will pour continuously in quantities more than required. All happiness and comfort will last throughout the year.

Sarvasithu Thannil - During Sarvasithu
Avathil - Planet, world
Ore Pathinettu - one 18
Viththu - Crops
Ongum - Gain, have good growth
Perumai - Pride
Mikka - Excess
Vilaivu - Growth of crops
Menmael - Over and Over again
Maari - Rains
Undaam - Affirmative
Thakka - Appropriate
Sugam - Comfort
Perugum - Rising

Of course, we can see, that main places being lashed by rains, but the overall picture makes us to wait for another five more months. For the rest we have to wait to see if it really works


Saravadhaari



"Narr Sarvadhaarin Nalla Mazhai Undaam
Arppa Vithaanadhellam Aagadhu Sorrperiya
Aindhu Vagai Vilaivum Aagum Sugamudanae
Maindhar Ellam Vaazhndhiruppar Matru"

meaning, during Sarvadhaari rains will be good, but only the 5 major crops will have a good yield, the rest would not. And people will live a comfortable life.

Narr - Good
Sarvadhaarin - year Sarvathaari
Nalla - Good
Mazhai - Rains

Virodhi



"Needu Virodhi Nilathin Mazhai Migudhi
Medu Kaadellam Vilaivundaam Needum
Arasar Peraalae Azhiyum Ulagam
Thiramigu Noi Saerumena Seppu"

meaning, during virodhi rains will pour everywhere, and hence there will be good growth of crops everywhere, be it plains or hills. Rulers and Kings (can be interpreted as countries) will fight with each other and cause devestation and destruction. Contagious and diseases will be on the rise.

Needu - Long

Kaadu - Forest, Plains
Ellam - All

Vikrudhi

Seiyya Valangal Sirakkumae Aiyya Kael
Maadu Kazhudhai Vayapari Noi Mikku
Saada Meliyumae Thaan"

meaning, during Vikrudhi, rains and crop harvest will be good. All the resources will be abundant, but cows and donkeys (to be interpreted as cattle) will catch disease and die in large numbers

Vaiyam Thanil - In the earth (Vaiyam - Earth)
Vikrudhi - The year Vikrudhi
Maari - Rain
Vilaivadhigam - Vilaivu (harvest) + Adhigam (Excess)

Kara



"Kara Varudam Maari Peiyum Kaasiniyum Uyiyum
Uramigundha Vella Engum Odum Nirai Migundhu
Naalukaal Seevan Azhiyum Noiyaal Madiyum
Paal Neiyumae Surungum Paar"

meaning, during Kara year, rains will be good and the people in the world will attain bliss and salvation, but floods will inundate everywhere and four legged cattle will die in large numbers because of diseases. And hence, milk and ghee will go scarce.

Kara - The year Kara
Varudam - Year

"Nandhanathin Maariyarum Naadengum Panjam Migum
Nandhumuyir Noyaal Naliyumae Andharathin
Meenu Thirundhu Thooman Ezhum Mikka Keduthi Undaam
Kone Madivan Endrae Nee Kooru"

meaning, during Nandhana year, rains will fail and famine will strike throughout the world. Beings will die as a result of diseases. Comet will appear indicating a bad omen. Kings and Rulers will die in this year.

Nandhanathin - In the year Nandhana
Maariyarum - Maari (Rain) + Arum (Fail)
Naadengum - All over the country
Panjam - Famine
Migum - Excess
Nandhumuyir - refers to cattle being grown
Noyaal - Disease
Naliyumae - Become weak, or perish
Andharathin - Space
Meen Irundhu - Stars
Thooman - Comet, indicating bad omen
Ezhum - Rise
Mikka - In Excess
Keduthi - Bad Things, Mishaps
Undaam - Affirmative
Kone - Kings, Rulers
Madivan - Die
Kooru - Tell

It is not about the belief that it works or not, but the thing that makes us wonder is Edaikaadar's ability was able to predict the happenings in a generic fashion even with no technological advancements. By probing more into those ancient texts, we would be able to realise and reveal it to the world, what our ancestors have left for us.

More to come, until then...

Hello Priya,

Vaanga Vaanga, enga romba naala kaanom.

Naan enna pannatum, Edaikaadar solli vechu irukaar. Adhan thaan appadiyae ezhudhuraen. Namma oora pathi thaan neraya solli irukaar, adhu poga China pathiyum solli irukaar.

Idhellam varusha varusham release pannura panchangathula irukkum. there are other books that have all the 60 songs, but I doubt their genuineness cos the author tend to modify the meaning of the songs.

Hello Mr. Prabhu,

My husband and I are blessed with a baby girl and have been searching for an appropriate name for her.
We came across the word VIYA on the Internet and also on your blog. We liked this word and would love to name our baby VIYA. However I am reluctant untill I do not know the exact meaning. At one place I found the meaning to be 'Unique' and 'Special'.

As I see you have enough knowledge of Tamil literature, I would like to request for your kind help in knowing the Meaning and Origin of the word VIYA.

Thanking you in anticipation of your kind help. My email id is ami_shah78@yahoo.com.

Eagerly Awaiting your response,
Ami Shah Dalal

Hi, though after an yr i am connected to the blog, its worthy to note in virodhi, earth faced h1n1 as a spreaded disease. Also this yr vikrudhi which is abt to start tomo is sudnly noticing heavy rains and symptoms in tn(cbe), while for past 20days it was a horible hot clim. V can go 50% with our ancestors note and predict r alert things. But note on china to be reworkd, as i believe 60 rotations of tamil yrs is more elder than terming of china.also the distance and the himalayan barrier for bogar or idaikadar to trvl frqntly and judge globalisation .
