Spiritual History of Tiruvannamalai

Paramasiva’s promise to humanity in Tiruvannamalai

The Paramaśiva lineage represents the tradition of Gurus (enlightened masters) in Tiruvannamalai (also called Arunachala) starting from Paramaśiva Himself. The lineage of Paramaśiva prevails to fulfill Paramaśiva’s promise to humanity to be an eternal guiding force through an unbroken lineage of living Gurus hailing from Tiruvannamalai to sustain the enlightenment ecosystem.

Hindu History reveals the appearance of Śrī Paramaśiva as an infinite effulgence of light (called ‘lingodbhava’ depicted as a deity in the picture) in Tiruvannamalai to bless humanity with the promise to be available in the three-fold form: 1) form of the sacred Hill Arunachala that continuously radiates the energy of Enlightenment 2) form of the worshipful Śiva Liṅga deity in the Arunachaleshwara temple in Tiruvannamalai and 3) As a living incarnation to continuously guide the people in the path of Enlightenment.

Paramasiva’s promise to humanity to manifest as 1) Mountain, 2) Shiva linga and 3) Living incarnation in Tiruvannamalai…

Shastra Pramana - Scriptural reference - for Paramasiva’s promise to humanity to be in the worshippable form of Shiva linga.

In the ancient Hindu text “Arunachala Purāṇa” in Tamil, reveals the words of Paramaśiva, "as responding to prayers, Arunachala took form of liṅga"

Translation: To fulfill His own promise, Paramaśiva also took the deity form of a Śiva liṅga for people to worship (seen in picture on right)

The lineage of Paramasiva in Tiruvannamalai

From Arunagiri Yogisvara, in the lineage of Paramasiva in Tiruvannamalai, the following great enlightened beings are recorded in the history of Tiruvannamalai. These great ‘Siddhars’ (mystical beings) are reported to be still wandering in this “Hill of Light”. Siddhars are enlightened masters indulging in continuous practice. They have developed, among other branches of a vast enlightened-based knowledge-system, what is now known as the Siddha medicine system of healing through herbs. Rare herbs grow in this hill known only to the Siddhars. They also developed the ancient healing system of Pulse reading-Ayurveda and the system of self defence called Verma art. The Siddhars are said to be continuously wandering inside the hill performing penance and other fire rituals for world peace.
