PAMBATTI SIDDHAR
The
most popular and well known of the siddhar’s is "Pambatti Siddhar"
(the snake character) who may be taken to be a true representation of his
tribe. He takes the snake for a symbol to represent the human Soul and uses the
expression : "AODU PAMBE" (De thou, Dance Snake) as a refrain at the
end of each stanza of his poem. The poem of this siddhar is in fewer than six
hundred lines and deals with philosophic and spiritual matters in the authentic
siddhar pattern with great passion. He sings Lord Siva as the Supreme Power of
the Universe. There is a poem on his Guru, Who is credited with super natural
powers. He then boasts of the similar powers of his tribe in a mood of
fantastic self-adulation, where his imagination runs riot. "We can make
men women", he says and adds, "We can destroy" this great
universe. He asserts that they have power equal to that of God and can control
the elements. He is there, merely expatiating on the Ashtama Siddhis, which is
believed to confer eight kinds of devises and super natural powers on those who
have achieved it. They are
Anima
-- Power of becoming the size of an atom and entering the smallest beings.
Mahima
-- Power of becoming mighty and co-extensive with the universe.
Lagima
-- Capacity to be quite light though big in size.
Garima
-- Capacity to weigh heavy, though seemingly small size.
Prapthi
-- Capacity to enter all the worlds from Brahma Loga to the neither world.
Prakasysm
-- Power of disembodying and entering into other bodies (metempsychosis) and
going to heaven and enjoying what everyone aspires for, simply from where he
stays.
Isithavam
-- Have the creative power of God and control over the Sun, the moon and the
elements and
Vasithavam
-- Power of control over King and Gods.
Whether
any man ever had or can have these powers is an open question.
He
then bursts out that they, like Prahima can create new worlds, make him his
servants and live in a status of equality with Lord Siva and make Him play with
them. Then there is usual tired against this life and its short lived sensual
pleasure. The value of reminciation and sacation is also dealt with. He
ridicules ideal worship and the Vedas. Agomas and other Scriptures. The cast
differences are denounced by him. He has also several stanzas on mystic
knowledge of Yoga.
As
a poet, he is not contemptible (deserving to be treated with contempt). He has
a facility of expression and an imaginative flavour in thought. He holds that
those who have no feeling of love in their hearts can never attain salvation.
His God vision is pictured in a fine stanza. This poet uses entirely the common
speech of the people and has produced powerful effect.
Each
one of the stanzas of his work ends in the world "Aodu Pambe".
Probably that may be the cause of his name. He seems to belong to Maruthamalai
in Kongunadu. It is given in the work above that he got instructions from
Sattamuni. As per the lines "Pathir-ar-Sankarankoil Pambatti" found
in the old stanza, which is given as source so far, his place of Samadhi has to
be taken as Sankarankoil is Tirunelveli District of Tamil Nadu (India).

Chapter
Eighteen (Pages 364 & 365) of book entitled "Eighteen Siddhars in
History of Siddha Medicine" by Mr. N. Kandasamy Pillai, Former Member,
Siddha Science Development Committee and Published by the Government of Tamil
Nadu in 1979.
A
Precise History of Sri Pambatti Siddhar Samadhi at Sankarankovil
The
nobility and sublimity of the Cobra, which symbolically represents the power of
Kundalini in human beings, is hailed with mystical flavor in more than a
hundred verses by Sri Pambatti siddhar, each ending with the refrain 'Dance
Thou Cobra!'.
He
is the last among the noted 18 siddhars. He belongs to the Kozhayi family. The
Himalayas are their ancestral land. Essentially the Kozhayi's were cowherds and
sheep herds and dependent on the products of cows and sheep. Slowly they moved
out of their place and in due course came to South India . Some say that Sri
Pambatti Siddhar was born at Thirukkokarnam, near Pudukkottai and some others in
the Pandya Kingdom . Mrigasirisham was his birth star in the Tamil month of
Karthigai (November-December). He was considered a manifestation of Lord Siva.
On being given spiritual initiation by his Guru Sattamuni, as the disciple
changed the five elements into a five-headed cobra, he came to be known as
"Pambatti siddhar". There are a few who say that he got this name
because he lent symbolically in his verses the image of a cobra to the
Kundalini power.
Sri
Pambatti siddhar attained the eight supernatural powers called 'Ashtamasiddhi'
after performing penance for a very long time in a cave on Marudamalai, near
Coimbatore in Tamil Nadu. Also he lived in places like Mahalingamalai in
Vathiraayiruppu, Kollimalai, Madurai , Puliyur and Bhavani.
Sri
Sivaprabhakara Siddhayogi Paramahamsar was the worthy disciple of this great
siddhar. The former was born in a Namboodiri family of Kaladi, Kerala. As the
Guru and his follower remained inseparable, they did atonement for 45 years on
the Himalayas and came to Sankarankoil. Sri Pambatti Siddhar established the
statue of Goddess Gomathi Amman there. Later, at the south-west corner, about a
furlong behind the temple, amidst punnai trees (now door number 15, Puliyankudi
Road). Sri Pambatti Siddhar got established in the state of Nirvikalpa Samadhi
(also known as Jeeva Samadhi) at the sacred hands of his disciple.
Some
books mention that Sri Pambatti siddhar attained samadhi at Virudhachalam and
some at Thirukkadaiyur. However, their claims have no established proof. It may
be assumed that Sri Pambatti siddhar would have lived in those places and in
order to reveal that the disciple could himself assume the frame of his master,
might have got established in samadhi in these two places in the guise of Sri
Pambatti Siddhar. This might have been possible for him because Sri Prabhakarar
got into the bodies of 15 persons at different times by the unique process
called 'Metempsychosis' (Transmigration) and proved himself to be the noble
student of his aspired preceptor.
It
can be authentically proved that Sri Pambatti siddhar got samadhi only at
Sankarankoil. Some such proofs are cited below:
1)
In his book entitled "History of Siddha Medicine" written in English
by Mr. N. Kannuppillai and published by the Government of Tamil Nadu in 1979,
under the chapter "Eighteen Siddhars", the author has written on
pages 364-366 about Pambatti siddhar and clearly mentioned that he attained
samadhi at Sankarankoil.
2)
In the hoary palm leaves of Pulithevar entitled " Nerkattum Seval "
in the form of a song there are references to the places where the 18 siddhar's
had attained samadhi and in it is mentioned that Sri Pambatti siddhar's place
of samadhi is at Sankarankoil.
3)
Dr. Yogi S. A. A. Ramiah in his book " A Collection of the Verses of the
Eighteen Siddhars for Daily Recitatio n" (in Tamil) too makes a similar
mention when he records that Sri. Pambatti siddhar in order to attain Svarupa
samadhi in Sankarankoil kindled his cobra power of Kundalini.
4)
The Gayatri Mantra of Sri Pambatti siddhar is :
"
Om Sankaranaalaya Pathivaazh Sittharaaya
Vechitra
Rupaaya Pambatti Sittharaaya Namaha" .
This
also makes an identical proclamation.
Thus,
beyond doubt, it is established that Sri Pambatti Siddhar's Jeeva Samadhi is
only at Sankarankoil and not anywhere else.
The
sole disciple of Sri Pambatti Siddhar was Brahmananda Sri Sivaprabhakara
Siddhayogi Paramahamsar and that of the latter is Brahmasri Siddharaja Swamiji,
who has, at the behest of his Guru, had undertaken the great task of
constructing a sacred samadhi Temple for his Guru's Guru. Brahmasri Siddharaja Swamiji had taken up
some other truly useful missions to the society. His plan was to construct separate buildings
for siddha research centre and for mass feeding, to be housed within the
proposed building complex of the siddhar samadhi.
Just
in front of the siddhar samadhi lies a big water tank called "Govinda
Peri", meant for the annual float festival of the temple. It was in ruins and Brahmasri Siddharaja
Swamiji had desilted the tank and renovated its southern and western walls at a
cost of about Rs.80,000 and let the people of the area of the town to bathe
comfortably in it. Also he had renovated
the "Govinda Peri Mutt" and established a "Bhakthi
Peeth". He had finished
construction of two temples - one dedicated to Lord Ganesh and the other to
Lord Balamurugan - and they are meant for public worship.
Brahmasri
Siddharaja Swamigal had some more generous plans : to build a charity marriage
hall, a serene hall for meditation and a school for the chanting of hymns of
the Vedas. The present small sanctum santorium of Sri Pambatti siddhar
(presently a thatched shed structure only) is to be built extensively. A proverb says "only one Caste and one
Lord". True to that statement,
Brahmasri Siddharaja Swamiji did everything without any discrimination of
caste, creed and religion. So far many lakhs of rupees have been spent. The
aforesaid construction work was estimated to have costed nearly 40 lakh Indian
Rupees (INR). Of course, the public voluntarily came forward and donated
liberally for this inimitable spiritual cause.
Every
sincere devotee is called upon to pay his / her mite by sending an amount equal
to at least a day's salary to the Samadhi Peedam and become a part of this unique social
service.
Note:
The names of those who donate Rs.2,000 or more shall be engraved on the walls
of the temple.
The
Eminence of Sri Pambatti Siddhar's Samadhi
Some
special features of Sri Pambati Siddhar's Samadhi are presented here:
1)
It is a historically recorded evidence that in order to cure Pulithevar, a
daring patriot, of his excruciating stomach pain the then pontiff of
Thiruvaduthurai used the ant-hill soil on the Samadhi of Sri Pambatti Siddhar.
It readily reveals the curative efficacy of the Samadhi soil. Daily devotes who
throng the shrine take the soil to their homes as 'Prasadam'. The Tulsi tank
water in the temple cures many diseases and protects devotees from many
diseases.
2)
There is a grill-structure with 18 lamps, just behind the Siddhar's shrine. The
Pranava Mantra "OM" is at its centre. There is a "Trident"
at the top of the lamps to refer to the Three Lords, born out of the Pranava
Mantra. Each lamp encompassing "OM" stands for a Siddhar.
The
prayers of those devotees who keep a small cloth packet containing Sesame seeds
in each of these cup like lamps, fill with gingelly oil, light them and pray
sincerely are heard and fulfilled at once. This is what devotees who gather at
the shrine in multitudes often assert. Brahmasri Siddharaja Swamiji himself
once directed some of his devotees to observe this rite in order to rid them of
the adverse effects of Mars in the 7th house of their horoscope (Commonly
referred as "Sevvai Dhosha" in Tamil Astronomy) or the hostile
influence of Raghu, Kethu and Saturn. Those who follow these directions
fervently get the following favours:
Those
who suffer from
Sevvai
Dhosha get a good life partner,
Saturn's
retardation get peace of mind,
Issues
beget children,
unemployed
get suitable jobs, etc.
3)
There is a big lamp which is kept burning all the 24 hours of a day at the
Sanctum Sanctorium of Sri Pambatti Siddhar. It consumes one litre of gingelly
oil per day. Sri Pambatti Siddhar protects the interests of those who keep it
burning and workship him earnestly. Daily devotees bring garlands, flowers,
camphor, incense sticks, coconuts, bananas and other fruits for the daily
adoration of the Parabrahamam Statue established on the Samadhi of Sri Pambatti
Siddhar. No doubt they get His blessings in full measure.
4)
This is an exquisitely carved four-sided idol. At the top it is a 14-headed
cobra spreading its hoods, with figures of Lord Vishnu on the east, Lord Siva
and splendid Goddess Gomathi on the south, Lord Muruga on the west and Lord
Ganesh on the north. This signifies that the 14-headed Cobra, Sri Pambatti
Siddhar, contains the Three Lords in Himself. This also implies that HE is
Parabrahman Himself.
5)
This Siddhar temple is popularly known by the epithet 'Samadhi of the
Munificent Philanthropist' for the obvious reason that large scale mass feeding
was frequently conducted here by Sri Siddharaja Swamiji. Currently the mass
feedings are organized by the S.P.S.S.P. trust. True to the epithet, on the
days of Adi Thapas in the month of July-August, a very extensive mass feeding
is performed every year. So far 16 such feedings have been accomplished and
over 20,000 people are fed on each occasion.
Further,
all devotes who visit the shrine are fed daily and hence without an iota of
exaggeration it is called 'Annadana Samadhi'. Everyone is invited to go in
large numbers to this famous shrine of Sri Pambatti Siddhar at Sankarankoil,
get His blessings and have a foretaste of the celestial bliss.
