one question

Was the panchakshari mantram "Na ma Si va ya" introduced by gnanasampandhar or was this mantra existing before that?

No! Manickavasagar's Thiruvasagam starts "namasivaya vazhga.."

There are many occurances of these letters - the 'ainthezhuththu mantiram' in Thirumoolar's Thirumanthiram, especially in the Fourth and the Nineth Thanthirams...... eg:

¦¾ûÇÓÐ °Èî º¢Å¡Â¿Á ±ýÚ

¦ÅûÇÓÐ °Èø Å¢ÕõÀ¢¯ñ ½¡¾Å÷

Thirumoolar and Manicakavasagar lived before Sambandar!
