Yes Balaji anNe, Me too awaiting eagerly for more info on Thiru Gnana Sambhandar, at what he attained Mukthi? Lifting the earlier posting of Viggop ( hope he doesnt charge me for copyrights !!) He was a friend of appar and he participated in many debates against the jain monks and defeated them.Hence , people came back to Hindu religion.He passed away when he was 16 years old during his marriage ceremony. The mandapam caught fire and it is said the entire people attending the marruage got moksham. within the short span of 16 years he is supposed to have composed a lot of songs.A musical prodigy and a good scholar in debate.many miracles are attributed to him. |

Dear Hari Krishnan sir, I am in my late 20's, I have migrated to UK about 17 years ago,so I have lost touch with vedic scriptures, it is just out of my eagerness to understand I have opened various religious threads to gain knowledge from intellectuals like you sir, pls pardon my ignorance!

Interesting discussion so far on Thrugnanasambhandaperuman!
More than just the life stories, I think we should focus on that extraordinary devotion that the Nayanmars showed to the Supreme! If we have a fraction of that devotion, we would be so blessed, wouldn't we? Can we take up a selection of hymns from the Thevaram of Gnanasambhandar, and discuss the devotional aspects of the same? Mr Hari Krishnan has already provided us with some links. If along with an appropriate story, he and Viggop, as well as Balaji were to take up these hymns and explain the meanings to us, we would be immensely benefited! |

This site below gives some idea about Seegazhi and the great temple..
http://www.templenet.com/Tamilnadu/s088.html Having mentioned about Sambandhar and also Thonipuram … Seergazi… I thought it will be relevant to mention about the temple also… The temple is somewhat peculiar… On top of the temple.. there is a sannadhi for SATTANATHAR…. Worth visiting… the township of Seegazi itself is very very ancient… The temple of Thiruthoniappar / Sattanathar / Bramapureeshwar….. its being called in several names… But most devotees throng to this temple mainly to have a dharshan of Lord Sattanathar… |

THirugnanaSampandhar was born in Sirkhazhi(then known as brahmapuri).
His father had left the baby near a tank and had gone to do pujas.Then, the baby cried for milk.Parvathi devi herself breastfed the baby(gave gnana pal). when father returned, he saw milk on the baby's lips and asked him whi gave the milk.gnanasampandhar pointed to Shiva and parvathi but the father could not see them.Gnana sampandhar sang the song "Tholudaya Seviyan" to describe what he is seeing.It is the first song in Thirumarai. He was a friend of appar and he participated in many debates against the jain monks and defeated them.Hence , people came back to Hindu religion.He passed away when he was 16 years old during his marriage ceremony. The mandapam caught fire and it is said the entire people attending the marruage got moksham. within the short span of 16 years he is supposed to have composed a lot of songs.A musical prodigy and a good scholar in debate.many miracles are attributed to him. |

Badri,
The very frist Tevaram I was taught in elementary school was 'thodudaiya seviyan vidai yeri.......' . This is the first verse in the first thirumurai by sambandhar on the deity in Seerkaazhi, also known as Bhramapuram. I think it is appropriate to start with the first verse. thodu udaiya seviyan vidai yeri or thoo veN madhi soodi kaadu udaiya sudalai podi poosi en uLLam kavar kaLvan yedu udaiya malaraan munai naaL paNindhu yetha aruL seidha peedu udaiya bhramaapuram meviya pemmaan ivan andre This is sung to the ragam naattai. meaning for some of the words: vidai = bull (nandhi) sudalai = sudukaadu = crematorium, area for cremation yedu = petal yedu udaiya malar = lotus yedu udaiya malaraan = bhramma munai naaL = munnaaL peedu= pugazh= fame |

Balaji
Seikizhar's sivapuranam mentioned 63.But, it did not mention Manicavasagar name at all.SO, some scholars argue that manicavasagar was born after 10th century etc. while some scholars put his date at 7th century AD. Gnanasampandhar went to a lot of places and composed padhikams.He even composed songs on Lord Shiva's temple at thiriconamalai(anglicised as Trincomalee) in Sri Lanka standing in Rameshwaram. So, it means there were Tamils in Sri Lanka atleast by 6th century AD and they had knowledge to build temples of Lord Shiva. So, Tamil people might have moved to Sri Lanka long before 6th century AD. |
