History of Siddhars - Part 2

In Kumari continent on the banks of the Pahruli River the Eighteen Siddhars implemented their Social Philosophy amongst the human beings who naturally grew up there. This Social Philosophy got matured into the Political Philosophy to form the very first government on this earth. This first government was thus founded by the Eighteen Siddhars on the banks of the river Pahruli.

This government being the oldest was named later as ‘Pandaiya Kingdom’. (Pandaiya in Tamil means ‘Ancient’). This word ‘pandaiya’ was later coined as ‘Pandia’. Hence the name Pandia Kingdom came to be the well-known one in Tamil’s History.

The Siddhar Karu Ooraar ascended to the throne of this Pandiya Kingdom. He had a daughter by name Chozha Ma Devi. Siddhar Karu Ooraar divided His kingdom into two to form a Chozha Kingdom by demarcating the area around the river Kumari and the countries near this river.

In the course of time, the kinsmen of these two Kings (Pandia, Chozha) formed the Chera Kingdom (‘Serar’ in Tamil means ‘‘related".) This Chera Kings were empowered to rule the Hills and the Hilly places of the world.

The detailed account on the kingdoms that existed in the Kumari continent is in the literature known as ‘Arasa Paarampariyam’ which gives the Political History.

Similarly, the details of divinators and the religions founded by them are available in the literature known as ‘Guru Paarampariyam’ which gives the Religious History.

The details of all the languages and eminent written works in those languages of this earth are available in the literature known as ‘Ilakkiya Paarampariyam’ which gives the History of Language and Literature. Thus the Eighteen Siddhars remain as eminent Historians of this earth.

The Eighteen Siddhars have analyzed and linked the total life span of this planet to the coming of the 48 Pathinensiddhar Peedaathipathis at various periods. Out of these 48 Peedaathipathis, the first 12 are named as ‘Raasi (zodiac) Vatta Karu Ooraar’. The next 27 are named as ‘Vinne meen (star) vatta Karu Ooraar’. The last 9 are named as ‘Kolle (Planet) Vatta Karu Ooraar’.
