In Hinduism
Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)
Pattirakiri (Bhadragiri) is one of the Tamil Siddhas, who was converted to Siddhism by Paṭṭiṇattār. He was a contemporary of Paṭṭiṇattār, but his real name is unknown. The word bhadra means beauty, grace, goodness, caution, safety and also an elephant. Giri means mountain. Hence the whole name connotes the sense of a determined and strong person with all spiritual values. According to the legend, he was a king of Ujjain (Ujjaini Māhakālam).
Shaiva (शैव, śaiva) or Shaivism (śaivism) represents a tradition of Hinduism worshiping Shiva as the supreme being. Closely related to Shaktism, Shaiva literature includes a range of scriptures, including Tantras, while the root of this tradition may be traced back to the ancient Vedas.
India history and geography
Pattirakiri (பத்திரகிரி) is another name for Badragiriyar—one of the Siddhars (Siddhas) and Rishis mentioned by Rangarasa Desiga Swamigal in his Siddhargal Potri Thoguppu. Each name in the list starts with prefix ‘Om’ followed by the Siddhar’s names and ends with refrain ‘Thiruvadigal Potri’. For example for Pattirakiri: ஓம் பத்ரகிரியார் திருவடிகள் போற்றி [ōm patrakiriyār tiruvaṭikaḷ pōṟṟi].—These Siddhas experienced union with the ultimate reality and witnessed a spiritual transformation of their intellectual, mental, vital and ultimately, physical bodies.
The history of India traces the identification of countries, villages, towns and other regions of India, as well as mythology, zoology, royal dynasties, rulers, tribes, local festivities and traditions and regional languages. Ancient India enjoyed religious freedom and encourages the path of Dharma, a concept common to Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism.
