Umapathi Shivachariyaar
Umapathi Shivachariyaar
This great shaivite philosopher came in the tradition of the priests of thillai in chithambaram in thamiz land. He was a well learnt scholar in both samskritam as well as thamiz. The choza king realising his scholarhood gave him pearl palanquin, a drum band to go around him and a day torch light. In one of the days of the month vaikachi he was returning after worshiping the Dancing lord. That time the great shaiva sidhdhanthic philosopher meygandar(1) was teaching his students the splendid philosophy. one of his students informed him about the passing of umapati chivachchariyar by the street. Then the teacher of sidhdhanthic wisdom remarked patta kattaiyil pagarkurudan pogiran parungal (on the dead wood goes there the day-blind, see!). These words kindled the thoughts of Umapathi Shivachariyaar who was eagerly looking for a philosophical guide. He fell on the feet of meykandar. The later to accepted him as his disciple considering his maturity.
There happened one day an event that exhibited the marvelous devotion he had for his guru meykandar. They were walking across the weavers' street. The master meykandar took from one of them the cellulose (kanychi) kept for the cloths and drank it. While he was drinking it, some of it dripped through his elbow. The ardant disciple Umapathi Shivachariyaar drank that, which was dripping through the master's elbow. everybody was surprised to see this devotion on guru. The priests of thillai excommunicated him from the priestly community since he drank the remains of what meykandar drank, as it is considered against the discipline of priestly people. From then on he started living outside thillai in a place called korravan kudi.
like the deed of the Supreme Grace, Which gave a letter addressed to the king cheraman perumal(2) for the benefit of the devotee pana baththiar, the Dancing lord gave a letter addressed to this devotee for perran chamban asking him to initiate perran samban and liberate him. The devotee taking the order of the lord on his head, gave perran samban mukthi. later in the presence of perran chamban's wife and the king, he also gave mukthi to a mulli plant. once in the temple flag hoisting festival, when the flag was not rising, he sang kodikkavi and made it rise on the pole.
This scholarly philosopher has written many sidhdhanthic scriptures. he has written eight of the fourteen reverand sidhdhanthic texts. They are
1. chivappirakacham
2. thiruvarutpayan
3. vina venpa
4. porrip paqrodai
5. kodikkavi
6. nenychu vidu thUdhu
7. unmai neri vilakkam (There is an opinion that this is not this authors work.)
8. chankarpa nirakaranam
apart from these he has written thamiz books (These indicate the high reverance this devotee had on thirumurais)
* koyil puranam
* thirumurai kanda puranam
* thiruththondar purana varalaru
* thiruththondar purana charam
* chekkizar puranam
* thiruppadhik kovai
* thiruppadhikak kovai
* thevara arulmuraith thiraTTu
* nyana achara saththira panychakam
He has also written commentary in samskritam for the paushkaragamam. Hailing the enchanting dance fo the Supreme lord at thiruththillai he has composed two works in sanskrit namely naTaraja dvani mantra sthava and kuJnchitaghri sthavam.
From the verses of the chankarpa nirakaranam, he has written it is found that his period was 14th century.

Marainyana sambandhar
Marainyana sambandhar
marainyana sambandhar is the third santhanak kuravar.(1) He was the disciple of arulnandhi shivachariyar.(2) He was born in thiruppenakadamin the tradition of vedic chanters in parachara gotram. At the age of seven, upanayana ritual (initiation to vedas) was done to him. Subsequently he learnt the vedas and shivagamas. In pursuit of a guru he went to arulnandhi shivachariyar. He gave shiva diksha to marainyana sambandhar and guided him in the path of wisdom of Lord shiva.
He went to thillai (chidhambaram) and lived the life of worshipping the Glorious Dancing Lord. umapathi shivacharyar was well renowned but was seeking a real guru who could open up sources of Supreme wisdom. maRai nyAna sambandhar became the guide who opened out those eyes of springs of wisdom for umapathi shivam(3). On a Avani uththiram day he got the liberation at thirukkalanycheri west of chidhambaram.

Arulnandhi Shivachariyaar
Arulnandhi shivachariyar
This shaivite philosopher came in the tradition of Adhi shaivar in a town called thiruththuRaiyUr in thamiz land.As he had well learnt the scriptures vedhas & AgamAs in the childhood itself he was called sakalAgama paNditar. His was the family that had been the traditional gurus to the family of meykaNdAr(1), a great shaiva sidhdhanthic philosopher. But eventually meykandar became aruL n^an^dhi shivAchAriyAr's guru. In fact the name arulnandhi shivam was given by meykaNdAr only. His original name is not known, to that extent the name blessed by the guru stood amongst the devotees. He is also being referred to as chanbaiyar thalaivar, which could mean that he spent some of his life time in sirkazi.
His period could be derived as 13th century, as that was the period of meykandAr. arulnandhi shivachariyar wrote two philosophical texts. They are:
1. shivanyana siddiyaar
2. irupa irupaqthu
He reached the Transcedental Feet of Lord shiva in the pusam day of purattasi month

Meikanda Shivam
meykandar
meykandar is the composer of the very renowned text of shaiva sidhdhantha - shiva nyAna bOdham.(1) He was born at thirup pennagadam in thirumunaippadi state in the tradition of shaiva peasant. His parents achchuthak kalappalar and his wife did not have a child for a long time. So he appealed to his guru sakalAgama paNDidhar(2). He worshipped the Lord shiva, brought the holy thirumuRais and put a thread inside the thirumurai palm leaf book (kayiRu chArththal). The song that came was peyadaiya piriveydhum.. in thiruvenkattuth thiruppadhikam(3). As per that he asked achchudhak kalappalar to go to thiruvenkadu and having bath in the mukkuLam there worship the Lord at that abode. So did the kaLappalar many times singing that glorious song of thirunyana sambandhar. One day the Lord appeared in his dreams and said that appreciating his determined devotion on the Lord and sambandhar devaram, he would be blessed with a splendid son like sambandhar. Very soon his wife delivered a son. They named him as svethavanap perumal, in the name of God at thiruvenkadu.
As the young child was growing once, his maternal uncle took him to his house at thiruvenainallur. The boy was playing in the streets. That time the fourth agachchandhanak kuravar - paranchodhi munivar(4) was going in the sky-way towards podhikai hills. When he was flying on the thiruvenai nallur airspace he got stopped. Wondering what happened he realized the presence of the blessed kid playing in that street. The gracious saint came down, gave the child shiva diksha and the name meykanda shivam, taught him the cryptic essence of sacred shivanyana bodham.
Enlightened prodigy meykanda shivam composed the essence of that sacred knowledge in the form of sutras (aphorisms) in thamiz. This is the shiva nyana bodham available to us(1). This is a base text for many of the later compositions on shaiva sidhdhantha done by other santhAna kuravargaL. He also did a vArthikam (elaboration) for the same. His fame started spreading and many became his disciples. Hearing this the guru of their family sagalagama pandidhar came to thiruvenai nallur to see the child. While the whole town went to salute him, meikandar was sitting with his students explaining the nature of Anava impurity. So sagalagama pandidhar came himself to the place of meikandar. Standing with pride he questioned meikandar, "What is the form of Anava impurity ?" meikandar without speaking a word pointed his finger towards sagalagama pandidhar. That great scholar petrified for a moment realized at that moment the superior knowledge ! He saluted the prodigy and asked him to accept him as a disciple. The kulaguru was becoming the disciple of the child ! meikandar gave him diksha name as arulnandhi shivam and accepted him as one of the prime students.
Apart from arnandhi shivam, some of the other renowned disciples of meykaNDAr were thiruvadhikai manavasakam kadandhar (5) and chitrambalanadigaL. Totally there were forty-nine students for meikandAr. He period was 1232 ACE. He reached the Divine Feet of God in aippasi swathi.

Samaya & Santhana kuravar
Samayakuravar (The four Great Saint of Saiva Religion - before in 10th century)
Saiva siddhantham speaks of four steps in spiritual progress. They are Sarya(work to others) Kriya,Yoga,and Gnana. These four saiva Acharyas, Thirunavukkarasar (Appar), Thirugnanasambandhar, Sundharar, Manickavasagar, are supposed to represent these four methods.The Thevaram and Thiruvasagam which comprise the first eight books of the Thirumurai constitue the bedrock of saivism. The lives of the four great Acharys form part of their songs and consititute a unified lesson and inspiration for the saivites and their philosphy.
1. Thirunavukkarasar (Appar)
His songs are mellow, didactic and delicately emotional. He is humble and his attitude to god is that of a servant to his master. He also gives a new orientation to hinduism by laying emphasis on service to god and fellowmen. My duty is to serve is his motto. Thirunavukkarasar and his divotees renovates the many sivan temples, that team is called "uzhavara padai". Thirunavukkarasar (Appar) was the great example for Sarya bakthi.
2. Thirugnanasambandhar
He is a boysaint, He takes some liberties with his father(siva). He takes delight in music. He sees god in nature and fine arts. Thirugnanasambandhar was the great example for Kriya bakthi.
3. Sundhararmoorthy Nayanar
He was very much of this world,having two wives and having luxurious life.But he never forgotten the lord,whom he considered as his friend and on whom he depend for every kind of help. Sundhararmoorthy Nayanar was the great example for yoga bakthi.
4. Manickavasagar
He was unique in many respects. His highly emotional love for god and the urgency shown by him for union with him is comparable to the love between the lovers. Manickavasagar was the great example for Gnana bakthi.
santhAnak kuravar
santhAnak kuravar are the gurus who gave to this world the philosophy of shaiva sidhdhantha. They are in two classifications.
agach chandhAnak kuravar
They are four in number. They are not the normal human beings but the ones who live in the Holy Mount kailash (deva paramparai). The Prime Guru of this tradition is the Supreme guru dakshiNAmUrthi. These four gurus are:
1. thirunandhi dhevar
2. sanath kumarar
3. sathya nyana dharshinigaL
4. paranychOdhi munivar
Adhi guru shri dakshinamurthi is the guru for thirunandhi dhevar. thirunandhi dhevar is the guru of sanath kumarar and so on.
puRach candAnak kuravargaL
They are also four in number. This tradition starts with the last in the agachchandhAnak kuravar - paranychOdhi munivar as the root. The four generations of disciples in this tradition are:
1. Meikandar or meikanda shivam or meikanda devar
2. Arulnandhi shivam
3. Marainyana sambandhar
4. Umapathi shivachariyar
paranychOdhi munivar was the guru of meykaNDAr. The four mentioned above lived in this earth (bUdha paramparai) in thamiz land and gave answers to much difficult philosophical questions in the form of shaiva sidhdhanthic explanations. Further disciples of this tradition established the mutts at thiruvAvaDuthuRai and dharumapuram (namachchivaya murthikaL and gurunyAna sambandhar respectively). Since this tradition starts from Lord dakshiNAmUrthi at Holy mount kailash, the two mutts get the title kayilAya paramparai. The philosophic texts composed by the san^thAna kuravar are called santhAna noolgaL(1). (A few of them are composed by others who are not part of this four). These fourteen are regarded as the saththiram (basis, scriptures) texts.
