SriSivanSar

Siva Saagarathil Sila Alaigal

This slim volume is about the less known younger brother of Paramacharya. Sri Sadasivam, Sivan Sir as he was affectionately addressed, was a siddhapurusha, who captivated the hearts of a close-knit group of followers.

“He was born a Mahan,” Sri Chandrasekharendra Saraswati seems to have remarked. Followers of both often marvelled at the wavelength the siblings shared. They never actually thought the two were different. The author goes on to say how Sri Sivan, an ace photographer had an encyclopaedic knowledge

Sri Sivan Sir abstained from water – neither bathed nor drank a drop for years. (How can fire and water co-exist? he would laugh). He ate sparsely or not at all. Led the life of a mendicant, travelling most of the time and taking shelter in devotees’ (Padma Subrahmaniam was one of them) houses. Tiruvenkadu was his favourite halt. He indicated the passing of Paramacharya (Waking from meditation at dawn, he uttered, “The world is losing a noble soul.” The day was January 8, 1994). Sivan Sir shed his mortal coil in 1996.

    Namaskaaram,
    My humble pranaams at the alotus feet of both Mahans. l have been following Maha periava puranams in the blog. l would be greatly indebted if any kind soul can translate all the experiences into English and come up with a book. This will greatly benefit the Hindus in Malaysia and other countries who are unable to read Tamil(sad to say ).
    ls there any Ashram for Maha Periava in Malaysia?

      My Namaskarams and pranams to all
      I happened to go the website thereby read the message by Shri Subramaniam of Malayasia. I also belong to the same category I do not know Tamil (reading) I can speak Tamil. I had during the year 2019 had the opportunity to visit Kancheepuram Mahaperiayava Vridavanam enroute my return to Chennai. that was a unplanned halt. again in 2019 December we were in Tamilnadu and this time also I decided to visit the Mahaperiyava Vridavanam. I have been reading and listening to experiences of individuals who were avid worshipers of Mahaperiyava. Incidentally I learned about Shri Sivan Sar and about the book Ennipaddigal in Tamil. I would be happy if I am able to get a copy of the English translation of the Book.
      alternately if I am able to get the book and its contents recorded by any blessed soul I will be happy to take up the translation work free of any costs. I am a retired professional and would accept it with whole heart and do justice to the translation work. kindly revert with your feedback. humble pranams cell :9967893932
