1,092,661 words
Summary: This is the English translation of the Tirumantiram by Thirumular—a Tamil work belonging to the Shaiva Siddhanta tradition which was likely composed between the 2nd and 4th centuries CE. It forms the tenth volume of the Tirumurai and explores the spiritual philosophy of the Shaiva Agamas in over three thousand verses. The work also stands as a profound exposition on the integration of Vedanta and Siddhanta, contributing greatly to the mysticism and theology of Saivism.
The Thirumanthiram explores a wide array of topics including spirituality, ethics, yoga, mantra, and tantra. It presents the spiritual path through four stages: Carya, Kriya, Yoga, and Jnana, emphasizing unity with the divine, love as God, and ethical living. It also touches upon Siddha medicine, advocating immortality through bodily preservation.
The Tirumantiram is commonly spelled as: Thirumanthiram by Thirumoolar.
