Meaning and Significance of Deepavali Thee + Aavali => Theevaali => Theepa + Aavali => Theepaavali => Deepavali. Firstly, this earth is not a lonely inhabitated planet in the cosmic space. In fact, this earth is the newest of all the inhabited planets in the universe. After this earth got separated from the Sun, the earth slowly cooled down to the climatic conditions that could sustain growth of organisms. During this period, the pioneers came to this earth from other planets in the Universe. There were precisely 18 such pioneers who came to this earth and hence they were known as Pathinen Siddhars (18 Siddhars or 18 Masters.) These 18 Siddhars came to this earth alongwith their inter-cosmic assitants (Pathinettaampadi Karuppu in Tamil) from other inhabited planets of this universe. Secondly, these 18 Siddhars researched the conditions of this newer earth and worked in numerous ways to evolve the living creatures from one cell to huge animals. After the highest living beings got evolved, these 18 Siddhars and their inter-cosmic assitants worked with these animal-like beings. Through this hardwork they evolved human beings out of the animals using language as a tool to speak and think. The first language that they used was Tamil. That is why Tamil is the most ancient language and also the mother of all other languages of this earth. Thirdly, these 18 Siddhars took almost 4,85,000 earth years to evolve thinking human beings. So, they had to return back to their planets and come again many times to this earth in the course of this evolution process. Their hard work yielded results finally to help them form a kingdom. The Social Philosophy they used for this is called as Indhu Philosophy. This Indhu Philosophy has been mixed up with the habits of incoming foreigners to this India 3000 years back and became Hindu Philosophy. The Westerners learnt about this Hindu Philosophy only and they are yet to know about the true Indhu Philosophy. The 18 Siddhars developed the Individual life of human beings. After that they made the individual human beings lead a Family Life and then Social Life. The blood related individual human beings get tied up together in a family as father, mother, sons and daughters. Many families together make a society. Grouping such societies together, the kingdom or government got formed. The day these 18 Siddhars came to this earth has been considered as a significant day for this planet and that day is being celebrated as Deepavali even today. In this long duration of 43,73,116 years (43,73,117th year as of 2016 CE) many many incidents have happened coinciding with this Deepavali day. So, many groups of people celebrate this day owing to different incidents they consider significant. Killing of Narakasura was one among these numerous incidents that took place on this Deepavali day. The main purpose behind instituting a celebration on this Deepavali day was to remember fore-fathers and give offerings to them. Since the 18 Siddhars came from older planets in the Cosmic space, the link between this earth and other solar systems are remembered by lighting lamps all over in the early morning before dawn. That is why this day was named as Thee (Light) + Aavali (in line formation) day. This name has become Theevaali or Deepavali. So, in essence, this Theevaali celebration is actually Tamils’ Festival day. People speaking other languages in India started celebrating after seeing the Tamils celebrate this day Source Website: https://indhuism.org/2016/10/deepavali-meaning-and-significance

Religion is beyond estimation; Science is within estimation. The universe is an ever expanding space and cannot be estimated or calculated. Atmosphere surrounding the earth, Fire and Water – all these three have enormous powers within them and that could never be fully understood. The wealth of metals and other elements underneath the earth’s surface could not just be measured. The religion is basically these Five Great entities of nature and hence the religion is beyond estimation. SPACE Science first invented Telescope to analyze the sky. Science celebrated this and started analyzing the sky fully. Then only the science realized that the universe is ever expanding and its boundaries could not be located at all. Telescope helped only in understanding this. Then science worked to further to overcome this limitation. It developed a much larger telescope having its diameter more than 200 inches. But this telescope helped only in finding out numerous stars in the space previously identified as empty one. Science realized its limitations. To overcome this, science worked further to invent Radio Telescope which worked on electro-magnetic waves. But this telescope helped only in seeing many more stars and planets going around these stars. The new inventions helped in calculating the speed at which the stars and planets are going in addition to the sizes of these heavenly bodies. But these inventions could not come to any conclusion as to how big is the universe. These scientific researches only made us realize that what religion says about the universe and sky is true to the greatest extent and they are sufficient to give us benefits. Throgh the defeats, the science realized its limitations. The procedures of worshipping the nature given by religion is more satisfying to the mankind than the scientific efforts to understand the nature. So, science has to agree that Religion is its teacher. Even if science struggles hard it can only remain as student to the teacher. ATMOSPHERE Science attempted to estimate the atmospheric air next. Science found that the thick air envelope around the earth helps to burn out the meteorites that attack the earth constantly from the space. Religion has already given a divine identity to this atmosphere and has laid out procedures to worship the atmosphere. Science emphasized on analyzing the atmosphere thoroughly in order to make use of it fully for the benefit of man. So, science started estimating the size and capabilities of the atmospheric air. Science identified the variations in atmospheric pressure in certain places and understood the air currents that move from the surface of the oceans to land due to the pressure variations. Science is able to measure the various parameters of atmospheric air like humidity, temperature, wind speed, etc. Science raised numerous questions and researched to find out answers to those questions. But in the end science reached a stage where it could not find any methods to control the devastating effects of cyclones, thunderstorms, sudden air current variations, etc. While science could only predict partially about the on-coming destructive cyclones to warn the people, it could not alter the course of it at all. Finally, science got defeated in all its researches about the atmosphere around the earth. FIRE This is not an independent entity anywhere. But no object is without it. Every object has certain amount of fire. If that amount is raised, that object either melts or boils or vaporizes. Science thus found out the melting point, boiling point and firing point of various objects. Even though there are certain objects that are non-combustible, every single object gets affected by heat or fire. Even water has fire inside it. This is proved by the fact that water also burns in a huge fire. Like this science successfully found out various things about this Fire. But when a volcano emits lava or an earthquake brings out smoke and fire from within the earth, science could not find any solution for it. It has no method to control this fire within the earth. Science could only remain as a spectator to this natural phenomena that has destructive effect on living beings. Similarly the science as per its aim constantly tried to change one type of object to another object. Yet it could not change a burning object into melting object and vice versa. Further the two-thirds of water on this earth could not completely cool down the fire within the one-third of earth surface. This could not be fully understood by science in addition to the numerous meteorites that burn in the atmospheric air. All these could not be deciphered fully by science and it accepted its defeat. WATER Next science went near water. The earth has water surface three times the land area. Travelling on the water was earlier done using the natural water current and wind movements. Science invented steam propulsion, nuclear propulsion and so on. These propulsion could help quicker travels on the ocean in addition to travelling under water using submarines. Science also listed out all the different types of living organisms inside the sea water. It could find out the places where pearls get grown, where coral could be found out … and so on. Science also found out the types of water such as hard water, soft water, etc. Next science found out about water from the rain. It grew upto bringing in artificial rain. But Science could not find out about sea expanding in some places to devour the land. Irrespective of all different innovative gadgets in a ship, science could not save a ship when a cyclone hits it. Further science could not transform sea water into drinking water. It could only pump in small amounts of sea water and using reverse osmosis make potable water, that too with huge costs. It also could not find reason for water in one place potable and water in a nearby place totally unusable as drinking water. The artificial rain could be used only if there are clouds. If

Sidharism’s view on Fate Sidhar’s state that a Fate is always present for a person throughout his life. However, this does not mean that the outcome is pre-determined. An analogy would be as follows: Imagine you have to swim across a river from one bank to the opposite bank. Sometimes the current is non-existent and you will be able to reach the other bank easily. At other times, the current of the river is so strong it will push you way downstream from where you intended to go. In this case, you will have to put in a lot more energy to reach your destination. So, Sidhar’s state that “Vidhyayai Mathiyal Vellalam” or “Fate can be overcome by using your mental acumen”. However, it is up to you to put in the extra effort and energy to overcome Fate. Another analogy: Let’s assume you are working at a company for a year and you are due for a pay raise. You walk into your manager’s office on the date you have your meeting. Has your pay raise already been determined or is it going to be a spur of the moment thing? Most probably, it has already been pre-determined after the manager has reviewed your performance during the year and talked with other people. Fate says that the amount is determined by the effort you put into your work over the year. Can it be changed at the last second? No. Can it be changed? Yes, if you had put in extra effort throughout the year.

ManthAram, ManthIram and ManthiRRam Sidhars have defined three types of prayers for each of the categories of gaining self confidence, growing wealth, gaining happiness and attaining enlightenment. The differences in these prayers are as follows: ManthAram – Is to be used in daily prayers and to gain divine energy for the purpose intended ManthIram – Is to be used to gain energy and use in a variety of ways for the intended purpose ManthiRRam – Is to be used to gain energy and used for high energy situations An analogy to driving cars would be to use ManthAram for ordinary everyday purposes using a sedan. If you were to enter a race, then ManthIram would be like driving a Formula 1 car. If you were transporting a large number of people, then ManthaRRam would be like driving a minivan. Each has its uses and purposes. If you just needed a small amount of money for example, praying with the ManthIram or ManthaRRam could also be done but you would be wasting a lot of divine energy. If you wanted a large amount of money, ManthAram or ManthIram would take you a long time to achieve the end result. So, using the appropriate prayer at the appropriate time is the correct thing to do.

Theory behind Enlightenment From GuruParampariyam (Writings of H.H. 12 Peedathipathi) Section I Part 8 Atoms are the basic building blocks of matter (Sub particles of atoms do not exist in the same state for a lengthy period of time). The combination of these atoms are responsible for all the physical matter we see on earth and beyond in space. Matter can be created, transformed, decayed and destroyed. All of these are natural occurrences. Divine energy is present in all matter to varying degrees. Humans can gather this divine energy to begin with. As they gain the divine energy and foster it, they will begin to begin to understand their lifestyle and surroundings. The final stage is when they begin to self generate the divine energy within themselves, giving them mastery over themselves and their surroundings which is also known as Enlightenment.

Theory behind Thakadu (Copper Plates) Thakadu (Copper Plates) are given by Sidhars and Sages to enhance the collection of divine energy. When the copper plate is blessed by a sage, it is analogous to imprinting a circuit board in a chip. The copper plate will then help collect and focus the divine energy for the purpose which it was blessed for. We can then use our prayers to gather the divine energy via the copper plate at a much faster pace. An analogy would be if we were on an island and waving our hands asking for diving energy. It would be difficult for helicopters or ships to see us. But, instead if we could light a fire during the daytime or shine a flashlight during night time, it would be much easier to see. Copper plates similarly provide a way of tapping into the divine energy and collecting them so it is easier for us. Note: Sidhar’s copper plates are always empty, there are no writings or carvings on the plates. This is because the blessing is the one which energizes the plate and brings us in touch with the divine energy. There is no need for any writing on other symbolism on the copper plate needed. Note: Prayers must still be said, the copper plate is not a replacement for saying prayers. If prayers are not said, the energy will arrive at the copper plate but will never be absorbed by us. If the divine energy is not absorbed by us over a period of time, it will lose it effectiveness and fade away,

Theory behind gaining wealth How does saying prayers help you gain wealth? How does this work in reality? Repeating the prayers continuously will help you by showing a path which you can utilize. This might be helping you find a job, improving in your job, start a business venture or guide you in managing your stock portfolio. Divine atoms will help you be overcome the challenges you face while walking on the path by giving you advance notification. This might come in the form of sudden help from friends, through dreams indicating which direction to take or through omens suggesting a course of action. Being forewarned is being forearmed. Using these indicators, you can be ready and overcome any problems making you successful in your venture.

Theory behind Souls Soul (Aathma), Life (Uyir) and Ghost (Aavi) The human body is composed of the soul (Aathma) made up of divine atoms. It is powered by a life giving force (Uyir) and the desires of the soul make up the ghost (Aavi – like echoes). A close analogy would be driving a car to a destination. The physical frame of the car corresponds to the shape of the soul. Various parts of the car can be replaced but it still remains a car. Similarly, various parts of the human body can be replaced but it still remains a human body. The gasoline powering the engine which moves the car can be compared to the life in the human body. It is this force that keeps the human body alive and functioning. The force in the Uyir (life) can be different like ordinary gasoline for regular cars, purer gasoline for race cars and even more pure gasoline for airplanes. The driver of the vehicle can be compared to the Aathma. It can go from driving a car to a race car to an airplane but the driver remains the same I.e the Aathma moves from human body to human body but at its core, it is still the same Aathma. When the destination is reached, the Aathma becomes the omni potent, omni present and omniscient. As long as the destination exists, there will be a Ghost (Aavi) accompanying the Aathma i.e. you are still driving the car thinking of and trying to reach the destination. Once the destination is reached, the life and the ghost disappear leaving behind only the Aathma which becomes the Ultimate.

Theory about birth and death of Gods Sidharism defines 48 different types of Gods and Goddesses. Gods are born in different ways. An example would be when a person volunteers or does good for the benefits of the community. This person becomes a God, continues to do good even after their death by distributing divine energy and giving it to people who come and visit them in the place they were born or are buried. People visit these sites and gain divine energy which helps them navigate life and brings peace and happiness to them and their families. Gods typically die when they are unable to consolidate more divine energy and distribute it causing people stop visiting the place where they are buried. Just going to the place where the person is buried does not mean that they are distributing divine energy. They might have used up all of their resources and are no longer distributing energy in which case the God has died. What happens when Gods die? Typically they are reborn and progress up the ladder of Gods of which there are 48 different types. The higher up the ladder they are, the more divine energy they have to distribute to more people and help them for a longer time. However, all Gods run out of divine energy at some point and die.

About Sidhar Karuvooraar – Early History According to scriptures, Sidhar Karuvooraar’s and their compatriots, 18th Padi Karupugal’s came to the solar system millions of years ago during its formation around 4.5 million years ago. They helped and guided in the formation of the solar system. They did not initially settle on Earth (as it did not exist at that time) but instead sowed the seeds for the formation of the earth and the surrounding planets from the sun. They returned to their home planet and visited the solar system several times as it went through the different phases of development. From this we can deduce that the Sidhar’s were space faring explorers who had mastered the art of interstellar travel. Sidhar’s were a technologically and spiritually advanced race who helped in the formation of the solar system as it exists today. Just as we are beginning to explore if we can terraform the moon and the planets to suit human needs, Sidhar’s came to the solar system before it existed and helped in its formation. The other thing to note is that even though the Sidhar’s were technologically advanced, they did not wave a magic wand and create the solar system. Instead, just as we would do, with a terraforming process on the planets for example, Sidhar’s helped in the birth of the solar system from the sun and surrounding matter and guided to the formation of the solar system as it exists today. Sidhar’s applied the technology they had and molded it so we could successfully have the human race and the solar system. Although the scriptures do not tell us anything about other attempts, it is highly probable and possible that they could have made other attempts prior or in parallel to set up a similar system. We do not know if they succeeded at the other places as well. However, what we do know according to the scriptures is that currently there are 1359 alien life forms (including ours) existing in our galaxy.voorar.
