This book gave birth to the Saiva Siddhanta tradition of the South of India (one of the main philosophic systems of that country). The author, the Siddha Thiroomular, condensed in it all the yogic knowledge of his time. The book is considered an Agama and a Shastra, as it contains yogic knowledge and devotional poems. It has been published for the first time in English thanks to the hard work of M. Govindan, the original was written in Tamil, for the common people. Every real student of Yoga should have it, they could trace in the text many of the yogic techniques they practice. Is a wonderful experience to meditate in these verses... this is pure Tantra, in its best definition: a net that unites spiritualiy with daily life. Om Namah Shivaya!

"Thirumandirum" written by the siddha Thirumoolar is a classic piece of art on yoga and the different states of consciousness experienced by the devotee on the path to Nirvana. It contains 3047 verses which is written forcefully on the real meaning of life. This work is far more comprehensive than Patanjali's "Yoga Sutras" on yoga and the ways of upright living. If one reads this work with reverence and meditates on these words, one will reach the highest stage of God-Realization. This volume also contains an extensive glossary on Sanskrit words and a detailed introduction on the 9 Tantras.

For all true Yogis/Yoginis, this is a must have. Reading the scriptures and meditating upon them is an initiation into a true spiritual awakening, and a connection to the great immortal Siddhas. These Holy scriptures will allow you to experience an heigtened Divine guidance in your sleeping and waking state, (if you're opened and purified enough to allow it to do so). Tamil Siddha Yoga is the foundation of Yoga as we know of it today, reflecting the original practices of the pre-aryan, pre-vedic Indus Valley culture. The Yoga of Eternal Life
