Aayakalai 64 in Tamil - part 2

THE GREAT MYSTIC-POWERS OF THE SIDDHARS AS TOLD BY ‘PAMPATTI SIDDHAR’

                The Siddhars could hold and shake eight deadly serpents in their hands,order Indran the Lord of the devas or angels to show and display the world at the desired place and control and bring under his spell snakes which are uncontrollable.                 Moreover even if it were ‘Adisheshan’ the king of snakes on whom Lord Vishnu reclines, the Siddhars would be able to hold it in their hands control it within the limits of universal-justice and shake it, thus literally able to shake the universe! They can turn a pillar into a small

                particle and turn the small particle to materialize as a mighty pillar. Convert the three worlds ( the upper, the middle which contains our world and the lower world) into gold; turn the red-light into their light (attain the body of radiant-Light); de-materialize this vast world; have the ability to create like and unlike what the Creator had done; bring the Creator to bid according to his desires and live with equanimity with the Primal Lord!

                Siddhars know the ‘64 kalai’ (or ‘arts’ or  “branches of knowledge”  that include astrology, astronomy, grammar, painting, dancing, music, sculpting, fighting, engineering, medicine etc., in fact all worldly knowledge broadly known as ‘apara-vidhai’) and above this know one more  ‘kalai’ ( which is known as ‘Para-vidhai’ or Divine-wisdom or the wisdom of the Lord). They possess the power to  convert a man into a woman and the woman into a man. They can throw the eight mountains as if they were a ball. Drink the waters of the seven seas . Hide and make the global-spheres disappear utilizing only their hands. Bend the entire sky into a bow. Explain the significance and logic of zero or emptiness to the pupil. Dip into roaring fires and be with a mental frame of desiring for any worldly materials,pleasures nor desires. Order and command the growling tiger,angry elephant and ‘Yazhi’ (dragon) and make them dance and play along with the Lord! All these powers are at the command of the Siddhars says the Maha Pambatti Siddhar!
