Theological Foundation of Hindu Religion
1) Saivism and Saiva Sittantha
The devotional literature of the Bhakthi movement is known as 'Panniru Thirumurai' and the fourteen Sastras of the theological exposition are known as 'Saiva Sittanta Sastras'. Sivagnanapotham by Meykanta Tevar is regarded as the basic text of the Saiva Sittanta Sastras. The Saiva Sittanta Sastras are also known as the Meykanta Sastras.
Sivagnanapotham, the basic text of Saiva Sitthanta explains from the creation of man to salvation.
Myths in Hindu Religion
After Christianity started developing in India, the doctrine of trinity was envisioned in different angles in myths. When the trinity was explained as Father, Holy Spirit and Son, some envisioned the Holy Spirit in a female form. According to this group, in a family, if there is a father and a son, naturally there would be a mother in between them. So, they envisioned the Holy Spirit as mother or Sakthi or Power and they explained the trinity as Appan (father), Ammai (mother-Sakthi) and Makan (Son). They also explained Siva (which means love), Sakthi and Kumarakkadavul (son of God) as Somaskanda. Somaskanda is a Sanskrit word (Sa+Uma+Skanda) which means God who is with Uma (Mother) and Skanda (Son). This is known as Saivism.

<-------Which one is Myth 'Dravidian' or 'Aryan'?------->
Dravidians - by race
The term 'Dravidar' is the mutilated form of the term 'Tamilar' (Tamilar-Thramilar-Thravidar-Draavidar).
The foreigners mutilated the term Tamilar as Dravidar, and the term 'Dravida' is utilized based on
1) language
2) region and
3) race

In terms such as Dravida Basha, Dravida Sangam, Dravida Vetham, Dravida Upanishad, Dravida Mapadiam, etc., the term 'Dravida' refers to Tamil.
Soul And Spirit
Kingdom of Animals
A living being cannot exist without consuming the body of another life. Even the single sensed lives are living by consuming the decayed body of another life. Living beings are classified as one to six senses, but they are not equal. There are variations amongst them. These variations are identified through their physic. The variations amongst the living beings from the first to sixth sense reveal their inequality (discrimination). The single sensed tree and the five sensed animal and the six sensed man are not equal.
The mighty ones consume the weaker ones for their survival. Aryans devised Varnashrama Dharma which say that all human beings are not equal, on the basis of 'Law of fishes' (bigger fish eats smaller ones) and on the basis of the saying that 'Cowards are the prey of the brave'. 1
Son of God in Christianity, Buddhism and Hindu Religion
In the post-Christian era Buddhism split into two major sects as Hinayana and Mahayana. The term Hinayana was coined by the Mahayanists to denote Theravada Buddhism or Old Buddhism.
As per Theravada or Hinayana there is no concept of God. A man can only help another on the way by example and advice. 1 Each being must be a lamp unto himself, and workout his own salvation.2
But the doctrines of Mahayana Buddhism are contradictory to Hinayana Buddhism and according to Mahayana Buddhism there is a God who created the world and Buddha was deified.
RELIGIOUS FANATICISM
Religion imparts spirituality but religious fanaticism destroys spirituality. Religion and spirituality are distinctive. Spirituality is common to all religions. Research on Soul and spiritual happiness are the aims of spirituality.
The persons responsible for the formation of world religions such as Buddha, Mahaveer, Jesus Christ, Prophet Mohammed were all expounders of Spirituality and were against religions. Therefore they were persecuted by religionists and religious fanatics. Jesus christ was the most persecuted among them. He was murdered. Not an ordinary murder but He was tortured and killed. The instrument used for that purpose was the cross.
The words which proceeded from His mouth when He was tortured on the cross declare Him as an epitome of spirituality and as a Spiritual leader and the revealer of spirituality to the world. Therefore his spiritual teachings are widely followed in all countries of the world.
Racism through Advaita Philosophy
According to scholars racism developed in the world society only from the 19th c.A.D. Even though the development of racism in the world is a recent phenomena, the root cause for this racism is Advaita philosophy which was developed in India in 9th c.A.D. Another face of racism is casteism that can be seen in India for a long period of time. Casteism is also known as Varnashrama Dharma.
Origin of Hindu Religion - (Six - fold Religion)
Amongst the Dravidian religions, the Six-fold religion, which is hidden under the name 'Hindu religion' is briefly analyzed here. The religious sects that are in the Six-fold religion are Saivism, Vaishnavaism, Saktham, Gowmaram, Kanapathyam and Sowram. Since these are the denominations of one religion, altogether these are known as 'Six-fold religion'. This Six-fold religion is the development of two major sects viz. Saivism and Vaishnavism.
Though some form of worship existed during the pre-Christian era, Saivism and Vaishnavism developed into religions only in the post-Christian era. Doctrine of Trinity, Doctrine of Avatar and the Doctrine of Fulfillment of Sacrifice are the basic doctrinal aspects of Saivism and Vaishnavism. A fundamental question is, how did these doctrines become the foundation for the religions that developed in the post-Christian era? Also, can these doctrines be seen in the worship and religions of the pre-Christian era? The answers to these questions can be obtained by analyzing the worships and religions in the pre- and post-Christian eras in India.

To quote a few examples from the first book of Saiva Sittanta Thiruvunthiar:
Myths in Hindu Religion
After Christianity started developing in India, the doctrine of trinity was envisioned in different angles in myths. When the trinity was explained as Father, Holy Spirit and Son, some envisioned the Holy Spirit in a female form. According to this group, in a family, if there is a father and a son, naturally there would be a mother in between them. So, they envisioned the Holy Spirit as mother or Sakthi or Power and they explained the trinity as Appan (father), Ammai (mother-Sakthi) and Makan (Son). They also explained Siva (which means love), Sakthi and Kumarakkadavul (son of God) as Somaskanda. Somaskanda is a Sanskrit word (Sa+Uma+Skanda) which means God who is with Uma (Mother) and Skanda (Son). This is known as Saivism.
When the Holy Spirit was envisioned in female form by a school of thought, naturally there would be opposition and another school of thought emerged. According to it, since a virgin gave birth to a Son by the Holy Spirit, the Holy Spirit must be a male form, and it was envisioned in a male form. They explained all the three in the trinity in male forms. (Father in male form, Holy spirit in male form and Son in male form). This is developed as Mummoorthy in Vaishnavism.
While Saivism denoted Holy Spirit as Sakthi (female form); Vaishnavism denoted Holy Spirit as Vishnu (male form). The root word for Vishnu is Vinn. Vinn and Vaan to the sky or firmament. The word 'Vishnu' is the Sanskritised form of Vinn. Trinity is explained in Vaishnavism as Siva, Vishnu and Brahma that is Mummoorthy. This is known as Vaishnavism. Both the Saivite and Vaishnavite mythical explanations refer to God the father as one and the same person, Siva. God the Holy Spirit is in two forms, one is in female form that is Sakthi (Saivism) and the other is in male form that is Vishnu (Vaishnavism).
If the left half of Siva's body is portrayed in female form (Sakthi), it is known as 'Arthanarieswara' and if the same left half of Siva's body is portrayed in male form (Vishnu), it is known as 'Harihara'.
Since the left half of Siva's body is portrayed in male form as well as in female form, it clearly shows that the left half of Siva's (God the father) body is the metaphorism of Holy Spirit in two different angles.
The envisioning of the Holy Spirit in a female form has developed into Saivism and the envisioning of the Holy Spirit in a male form has developed into Vaishnavism.
The Son of God is envisioned in four angles in Saivism and Vaishnavism.
The victory over Satan is explained in Kumarakkadavul (Son of God) concept; means SDeath and resurrection is explained in Ganapathi or Pillaiyar concept. (Pillaion of God, 'ar' is a respectable suffix); His power of creation is explained in Brahman (creator) concept. Seeing Son of God as the light of the world is explained in 'Aiyappa concept'. People visit Sabarimalai to see light (Mahara Jyothi) in the Aiyappa worship.
Though four names are mentioned, actually they all refer to one, that is Son of God in four views as explained above.
Father | Holy Spirit | Son |
Siva | Sakthi | Kumarakkadavul |
Pillaiyar | ||
Vishnu | Brahman | |
Aiyappan |
Seven names are mentioned in the above chart. Siva is the father of four different names that refer to the Son of God. In the place of Holy Spirit, Sakthi and Vishnu are seen.
The four names mentioned above to explain the son of God refer to one and the same person in four different views and except Brahman, others developed as separate sects. Since, the Brahman concept was corrupted by the Aryans (Brahminism) there is no separate sect for Brahma. Out of the seven names mentioned above, six have developed as Six-Fold Religion and they are the denominations of Early Indian Christianity. The trinity concept in Saivism and Vaishnavism are explained in the following charts.

Hindu Religion Under Threat
Our Hindu religion is facing a dangerous situation. How?
It is said that the word Hinduism does not refer to religion. Also it has been said that it neither refers to a Hindu God, or worship, or Hindu philosophy, or literature, or Hindu temple. A question immediately rises in our minds, who has made statements like these?
These statements were judgements passed by the Supreme Court of India on Hinduism or Hindutva. It also passed a judgement that Hinduism does not refer to a religion but rather it refers to the Hindu way of life.
Hinduism is different from the Aryan political law
Why was this judgement passed? The court passed this judgement on the basis of Hindu law. In India, the Aryan political law is considered as the law for all Hindus. Under the guise of Hindu Law, the Law of Manu or Manudharmasasthra, the Aryan political law is maintained.
In Manudharmasasthra or the Laws of Manu, it is expounded that the Aryans who came to India for their sustenance are highcaste by birth and the Dravidians, the original inhabitants of India who gave the Aryans a livelihood became a low caste by birth. Thus Hinduism or Hindutva implies the way of life of caste discrimination established in society by the Aryans.
The Dravidians are thus degraded and Hinduism is threatened by the explanation given in the Aryan political law that Hinduism is not a religion but a way of life. This way of life results in the original inhabitants living as slaves and untouchables, Sudras and Panchamas, to the Aryans who came to India for their pabulum.
It is commonly stated that Hinduism is the political way of life devised by the Aryan Brahmins who came to India in many groups without any religion in various periods and cunningly and treacherously enslaved the Dravidians, the original inhabitants, their religion and their country.
Captured religion of the Brahmins
Many have a wrong ideology that Hinduism is of the Aryans. This kind of wrong thinking is there since Hinduism is in the control of the Brahmins, who are a part of the Aryans. Many have a wrong supposition that the term ‘Brahmins’ is the name of a community. This is also a wrong conjecture. Why?
Those who worship Siva as their God are Saivites.
Those who worship Vishnu are Vaishnavites and
Those who worship Brahman as their God are Brahmins.
The term ‘Brahmin’ refers to the followers of a religion (worshippers of Brahman) and not a community. The Aryan Purohits who performed the religious rituals of the Aryans, who worshipped fire, treacherously captured the name Brahmins, a name given to the followers of Brahman.
As a first step they vermiculated the name ‘Brahman’ as ‘Brahmam’ and also contorted the meaning of the term ‘Brahmins’ as those who possess Brahmam, instead of those who have ‘Brahman’ as their God. Then they claimed that they alone have possessed ‘Brahmam’, hence they alone can be called as ‘Brahmins’. Thus they have distorted the worship of Brahman, one of the Trinity in the Godhead (Mummoorthies) and they have deceived others and snared the name ‘Brahmins’ for themselves. Hence others have described that Brahman is a prevaricator and deceiver. Another stage was developed that there is no religion for Brahman. Amongst Saivism, Vaishnavism and the Brahman religion which were formed on the basis of the Trinitarian Gods, the Brahman religion was deceptively apprehended by the Aryan Purohits. These things were done by Adisankara.
Enslavement of Saivism and Vaishnavism :
After apprehending the Brahman religion, the Aryan Purohits who worship fire till date have enslaved Saivism and Vaishnavism which have the doctrine of Supreme God and brought them under their control and formed a state that Saivism and Vaishnavism are a part of the Brahmin religion.
Since Saivism and Vaishnavism were enslaved by the Aryan Purohits and only those two are known as ‘Hinduism’, it is misconceived that Hinduism is of the religion of the Aryan Brahmins.
Saivism and Vaishnavism alone constitute Hindu religion
A question may arise whether Hindu religion refers to Saivism and Vaishnavism alone.
Eventhough the term Hindu religion refers to all the religions that originated in India, the captions such as,
‘Hindus converted to Buddhists’
‘Split between Hindus and Sikhs in Punjab’
‘Conflict between Hindus and Jains in Gujarat’
that occur in the newspapers and magazines convey that amongst the Indian religions, apart from the three religions mentioned above, Hinduism refers to Saivism and Vaishnavism alone which are in the fold of the Aryan Brahmins.
Hinduism is of the Dravidians
Saivism and Vaishnavism are Dravidian religions and not Aryan religions. The Aryans are worshippers of fire and they do not have any developed religion. Even though they control the temples of the developed religions of Saivism and Vaishnavism, and are their priests, they give importance to fire alone in their special family occasions. Hence a question arises here, what are the worshippers of fire doing in the temples of Saivism and Vaishnavism which worship the Supreme God as priests?
The Aryans have nothing to do with spiritualism. They have correlation with the politics alone.
By keeping the rulers in their hands they incarcerated the Dravidians, their religion and their temples.
We have seen that the term Hinduism refers to Saivism and Vaishnavism apart from Buddhism, Sikhism and Jainism, though the term is apt when it refers to all the religions that originated in India.
Religion of the Tamils is Hinduism
All the 63 Saivite Nayanmars and the 12 Alwars belong to Tamil Nadu. The 12 Thirumurais of Saivism and Nalayira Divya Prabandham of Vaishnavism are all in Tamil. In India, out of 270 Saivite temples (approximately) more than 230 temples are all in Tamil Nadu. Likewise out of 108 Vaishnavite shrines more than 96 are in Tamil Nadu.Hindu philosophies such as Advaita, Visishtadvaita and Saiva Siddhantha have originated from Tamil Nadu and have spread to North India. Six significant temples (arupadai veedu) of Karthikeyan (Kumarakkadavul) are all in Tamil Nadu. Most of the Sakthi (amman) temples are all in Tamil Nadu. Similarly most of the Ganapathy (Pillaiyar) temples are also in Tamil Nadu. The Panchalinka temples that is for the basic five elements such as earth, water, fire, air and space are all in Tamil Nadu.
Amongst the spoken languages of the common people of India (which has a long history and is ancient) Tamil alone is the spoken language of the common people till date.
Hence, Hinduism such as Saivism and Vaishnavism are the religions of the Tamil. The word Tamil had been mutilated and twisted as Dravidar (Tamilar - Thramilar - Thramidar - Thravidar - Draavidar). Dravidian India is the nation of the Dravidians . Hence, the name the religion of the Tamilars or the religion of the Dravidar or Hindu religion refers to one religion that is our religion.
Sanskrit the language of the Dravidians
The religion of the Tamilians or the Dravidians which emerged because of the bhakthi movement had spread to India and became Hinduism.
The Tamilians or the Dravidians written the books on the religion of the Tamilians or the Dravidians in Sanskrit in order to proclaim the said religion to the other people who do not know Tamil. Sanskrit is the language of the Tamilians or the Dravidians.
Veda Vyasa, who gave written form to the worship songs in Sanskrit which were in various languages and divided them as four parts such as Rig, Yajur, Sama and Atharvana and formed Vedas was a Dravidian. Valmiki, who primarily wrote Ramayana in Sanskrit was also a Dravidian. Kalidasa who wrote many literature in Sanskrit was a Dravidian. Mahabharatha was also written by Veda Vyasa, a Dravidian in Sanskrit.
Adi Sankara, Ramanuja and Madhva were the interpretors who wrote interpretation to the Upanishads, compiled by Veda Vyasa in Sanskrit, to the Brahma Sutra and to the Bhagavad Gita, a part of Mahabharatha written by Veda Vyasa in Sanskrit. (Adi Sankara wrote interpretation inorder to incarcerate the Dravidians).
Hence, the religion of the Tamilians or the Dravidians or Hindu religion, whatever we say it is of the Dravidians and it is the historical fact.
Responsibilities of the Dravidians
Let us understand the conspiracies of the Aryan Brahmins who machinated again to capture the Indian political power forever through the name Hindutva by degrading our Hinduism and by enslaving the Hindu religion of the Dravidians to the political law of the Aryan Brahmins. It is the responsibility of each Tamilian or the Dravidian to liberate the religion of the Tamils or the Dravidians or Hinduism from these Aryan politicians. We like to remind that the population of the Dravidians (so called Sudras and Panchamas) in the Indian population is 88% .
Politics in the guise of religion
Sankara Mutts are the head quarters of the political conspiracy of the Aryans. And they are enslaving the Indians through the ages by establishing casteism according to the Aryan Manudharma in the guise of religion.. The historical facts mentioned above were sent to these five Sankara Mutts of India on 14.10.’96 in the form of questions under the title ‘108 quetions to Sankara Mutt’ and asking them to give answers historically. Since they are historical facts Sankara Mutts could not refute and are keeping quiet. Those who are interested to know the historical facts can contact the Sankara Mutts and us.
Liberation struggle
Our agitation with the Sankara Mutts is on going inorder to bring love, harmony and brotherhood in the society by liberating the Hinduism or the Dravidian religion and the Indians or the Dravidians from the clutches of the Aryan political power.
If more details are needed to know about Hinduism they can attend the classes on Dravidian religion and can read the magazine ‘Dravidian Religion’ and can read the research books regarding this research. Those who have interest can help in spreading these ideologies and those who are interested in the liberation of Hinduism and Indians can join with us to involve in the struggles that are in the spiritual method.
Iconography of Hindu Religion
God taking the form of a man has led to the development of idol worship without question in Christian Churches without any shred of doubt till the arrival of Martin Luther. Similarly in the Six-Fold Religion, worshipping God in anthropomorphic form (sculptures) was developed in the post-Christian era.
Drastic changes in the Post-Christian era
The doctrine of God taking the form of man, his coming into this world and sacrificing himself formed the basis for the development of the Bhakthi Movement and the sprouting of a large number of sculptures of God in the anthropomorphic form. The worshipping of images had started developing rapidly.
"A somewhat elaborate discussion about the origin and growth of the idea of Bhakti has been found necessary because the solution of the whole problem of the origin of image-worship itself principally depends on it".1
In Jainism the figures of Tirthankara with Yaksha and Yakshi are found in large numbers. The figures of Mahavir and other Tirthankaras were installed and worshipped. This sect is known as Svetambara. The icons of Svetambara are seen clothed with open eyes, whereas the icons of Digambara are seen without clothing and closed eyes. In Buddhism the figures of the Buddha are seen in large numbers and are worshipped. The icons of Bodhisattvas convey the concept of the Son of God.
"By the beginning of the Christian era Buddha came to be represented in the form of images. The ideas behind this great step brought about a revolution in image making. The Mahayana doctrine brought about a new concept of the Buddha. He was seen as the absolute world principle, a personification of the highest truth, wisdom and goodness. As such he was developed as a desire to beheld and revered as a sacred person. He was considered to be the merciful redeemer of the world".2
The figures of the Tirthankaras and the Buddhas in the Jain and Buddhist Stupas were engraved. Thus stupas with figures came into existence only in the post-Christian era.
The following statements of various historians explain that Saivite and Vaishnavite sculptures emerged in large numbers in the post-Christian era."Images of gods and goddesses such as Siva in linga, human and arthanariesvara form, Siva-Parvati standing together, Kartikeya, Ganapathi etc., began to be made in considerable number in the beginning of the Kusana period at Mathura and Gandhara. The pantheon gradually got increased and became rather complex in the Gupta period. The Kartikeya cult seems to have been quite popular at Mathura during the Kusana period".3
The Saivite and Vaishnavite sculptures which reveal the doctrine of trinity, doctrine of avatar etc. are not seen in the pre-Christian era and they are all seen in the post-Christian era only. The analysis of the development of Iconography in India would throw light on the development of Saivite and Vaishnavite religions. Since the Indus Valley civilization is ancient, it is briefly outlined.
(i) Indus Valley Sculptures
In the Indus Valley civilization, memorial stones known as Sivalinkas and figures of goddesses, demigods, female and male figures, animals, mythical figures, trees and symbols like Swastika... depicted on the seals are found in large number.4 Apart from these, a torso of a male statue in a Yogic posture has been discovered in Mohenjadaro Female figures in terra-cotta are also found.5 After the Indus Valley civilization, sculptures are not found for a long period of time, and later on Jain and Buddhist sculptures are seen.
(ii) Jain and Buddhist figures
In Jainism and Buddhism stupas are found and symbols like wheel, umbrella, conch, footprint, tri-ratna, fishes, mythical figures, Swastika... are seen on the ayagapathas. Many icons of the Yaksha, Yakshi and female statues like Lakshmi, Saraswathi can be seen in considerable numbers.6 In Buddhism the icon of the Buddha was not seen in the pre-Christian era. In Jainism, though a mutilated figure resembling Tirthankara is found in Lohanipur probably belonging to the pre-Christian era, a large number of sculptures of Jain Tirthankaras and the Buddhas are found only in the post-Christian era.
(iii) Six-fold Religious Sculptures
Saivite and Vaishnavite figures which reveal the doctrine of Trinity, Avatar... are not at all seen in the pre-Christian era in India. None of the Siva, Muruka, Pillaiyar, Krishna... sculptures are seen in the pre-Christian era. All these sculptures belong only to the post-Christian era.
"The idea of I'svara himself coming down amidst the mortals as an avatar to guide them to become perfect in their own nature, to become what they potentially are and living among them as a mortal, was in itself enough encouragement to the development of the images. They could evolve a definite iconography for the avataras".7
Though Saivism and Vaishnavism have nothing to do with the Vedas the Saivite and Vaishnavite figures came to be considered as Brahminical gods and goddesses. There is a vast difference between the Hinduism of the Vedic period and that of the later period . The pantheon of the Hindu gods were given anthropomorphic form only in the later period. Saivism and Vaishnavism are the offshoots of Early Indian Christianity and the sculptures of Saivism and Vaishnavism are actually the visual aids for the doctrine of Trinity, and the doctrine of incarnation or Avatar.
Since these figures are seen in the post-Christian era, it is misconsidered that they are of the Brahminical contribution. Doctrine of Trinity in both Saivism and Vaishnavism is expressed through the icons as follows.
The concept of trinity of Godhead as expounded in Christianity has its own center point in Saivism in the expression of "Somaskanda". This expression when expanded would become Sa+Uma+Skanda which means God is along with Uma and Skanda. The same concept of trinity of Christianity is depicted differently (Mummoorthy) in Vaishnavism. Hence also the chief God is Siva. But instead of the female goddess Uma, we find another male god viz. Vishnu representing the Holy Spirit. In the place of Skanda we find Brahma, the son of God and the three persons in the Godhead are all male. This led to the concept of "Mummoorthygal".
The figures of Siva, Vishnu and Brahma are seen in Ellora, Kailasanatha, Mahabalipuram. Though there are three names for each of the three personalities of God, the entity is one and only one. This triune God is depicted as "three faced Siva" with one body.
In Ellora and Elephanta the icons of Siva with three faces in one body are seen in large numbers. This shows that though God is represented in three different personalities as Siva, Sakthi and Kumarakkadavul, or, Siva, Vishnu and Brahma, he is not three but one God in three personalities.
Sivalinkas engraved with Saivite and Vaishnavite figures are seen only in the post-Christian era. The figures of "Arthanarieswara" and "Harihara" convey that Sakthi and Vishnu are the metaphorism of Holy Spirit in female and male form. In the word Arthanarieswara, Artha means half, nari means female and eswara means God. Thus Arthanarieswara means God whose left part is female.
Harihara means Hari+Hara. Hara means Siva or God. Hari means Vishnu. In the Harihara concept, Hari is supposed to be the left part of Hara as per Vaishnavism, whereas in Saivism, Sakthi was supposed to occupy that part. However, both Hari and Sakthi are the names given to the Holy spirit. The figures of Avatar are seen in the post-Christian era.
"By the time of the Gupta age the concept of avatara had become more popular".8
The icons of Rama, Lakshmana etc. are seen in the later period, as representations for the concept of Avatar or Incarnations.9
Thus the icons of Saivism and Vaishnavism express the doctrines of Early Indian Christianity in different ways.
The sculptures of the pre-Christian era paved the way for the development of sculptures of the post-Christian era in shaping the Vaishnavite, Jain, and Buddhist images. For example the Yaksha and Yakshi of the pre Christian era provided much inspiration for the making of sculptures in the post Christian era.
Is Six-fold religion the religion of idol worship?
Supreme God is known in various religions as Jehovah (Judaism), Father (Christianity), Siva (Saivism) and Allah (Islam). There is no idol for Supreme God in these religions. But for the Son of God there are idols in Christianity since God took the form of a man. And till the coming of Martin Luther, Christianity was filled with idols.
Similarly, in the Six-fold religion there are idols for Son of God emerged in the post-Christian era only. In the sanctum sanctorum of the Saivite temples of Siva, Sivalinka alone can be seen and none other idols. God the father is represented in Sivalinka in Saivism. Sivalinka is not an idol and it doesn't have a figure like human beings or birds or animals etc., and it is a memorial stone only.
Memorial stone is not an idol according to Bible. 10
The Six-fold religion is the development of Sivalinka worship and all the idols are emerged in the Six-Fold Religion in the post-Christian era only and these idols are not seen in the sanctum sanctorum of the temples of Siva, the Supreme God. Since the Six-fold religion is the development of Sivalinka which is very ancient and which is a memorial stone and not an idol it can be said that Six-fold religion is the religion of non-idol worship just like Christianity.

God & Satan
God and Satan are not scientifically proven facts, however, they are connected with faith. Also, it cannot be accepted that this faith is scientifically proven as wrong. Hence, the religions and the philosophies try to explain it in different angles and they talk about the stages before birth and after death.
Amongst the four divisions such as God, man, animal and devil, even though there is doubt in the heart of man about God and the Devil, a common view about these four divisions are in the thoughts of the human society. It is generally explained that,
Doing good for good is human nature;
Doing evil for evil is animal nature;
Doing evil for good is satanic nature;
and Doing good for evil is divine nature.
Though these four stages are divided as four divisions as man, animal, God and devil, these four kinds of nature is seen in the human beings. Even though every man has some individual qualities, these four kinds of nature can be seen alternately in a man himself and it depends upon his spiritual growth and maturity, and his environment.
A man with a satanic nature can acquire animal and human nature step by step and can even acquire the divine nature. One's actions determine one's nature. Doing good for good and evil for evil are natural instincts (qualities), and this nature can be seen amongst the human beings and animals.
But doing evil for good and good for evil are not natural qualities. It can be obtained by systematic training with inspiration, apart from the natural qualities. Those who obtained these qualities by a systematic training of their senses would be either appreciated or degraded by 'noble men'. Why do we mention the term 'Noble men' here. Since, people of a satanic nature would accept those with a similar nature and thinking and are skilled in their ways, as their leader and try to follow their acts and activities, and would also degrade noble persons who have divine nature. This fact is revealed by history.
The people who have noble qualities are always interested in doing good, whether they are appreciated or degraded.
Satanic nature
If the question is asked, 'Who is a cruel man in the world?', the answer would be like this, 'A man who has a satanic nature'. Satanic nature means rendering evil for good. The different stages involved in the satanic nature are illustrated below.
- A person who is seriously entangled in a problem has no other option but to face death, and he is pushed to the extreme situation of restoring to doing evil to the persons who did good to him in order to get himself relieved of that problem, we can say that this is the beginning or the first stage of the satanic nature.
- In another situation, a person is suffering from hunger. Hunger is a smaller problem when compared to the problem of danger of death. if he deceives and those who have done good to him, and eats the food from their house, we can consider it as the second stage of the satanic nature.
- A person's demonic act to fulfil his basic needs, is the third stage.
- A person's demonic act towards another family to fulfil the basic needs of his family, we can consider it as the fourth stage.
- A race, rendering evil to another race which has done good to it, because of not getting an opportunity to fulfil the basic needs of its own race is the fifth stage.
- Without ceasing in rendering evil, but also enslaving and torturing others who rendered good to them, can be considered as the sixth stage. One may indulge in the satanic activities mentioned above and knowingly render evil to others or to others family or to others race. Since the satanic activities are rendered to others kwowingly by him, because of the human nature in him, he may repent and have a chance to get liberated from this satanic nature. It may happen in an individual's life or family or race. However Satan's task is to prevent this change and make others to be eternally enslaved to the satanic nature, which is totally opposite to divinity. One can abandon his satanic activities only when he realizes that his activities are wrong.
- If a man or his family or his race is made to believe that his activities are correct, this would lead him to have a satanic nature for ever. Though they physically appear to be normal human beings, they would be devilish in their thoughts, speeches and actions. A question may be raised whether it would be possible to make others accept this belief. It is impossible for ordinary people, but it is possible for those who have become possessed with a satanic nature, and it is the satanic concept which is utilized to fulfil this aim. Devising this satanic concept is the seventh stage.
- Not only devising it as a concept but also describing it as a divine concept is the eighth stage.
When this concept is explained in the seventh stage, people who have a conscience may refuse to accept this, or they would at first accept it and later on abandon it. But, when it is perfidiously shown as a divine concept and gives the status of a religion a garb of spirituality, people are changed to such a stage that they believe and think that what they are doing is right and good. Thus they are totally changed as a machine which renders evil to others.
Those who are entangled in this concept are totally changed as devils and the voice of their conscience is totally crushed and destroyed. Their body alone is that of a human being, but their soul is that of Satan. Can anyone rectify them? Thinking of this we have no other alternative except to shed tears.
What is that concept which induces one to do evil to them who have done good? How is this concept being practised and how is this concept given a garb of spirituality?
The following beliefs that are mentioned here can be considered as the seventh stage.
Those who are doing good are not doing it on their own desire, and they cannot keep quiet without doing good. Because those who received good were already in debt of receiving those good things and it was fulfilled when they received good from others, and the reception of good things were not because of the bestowers. The bestowers or one who are doing good to others are mere instruments, and the receivers are not in debt of gratitude to the instruments and do not need to appreciate the instruments. But utilizing the instruments perfidiously is the task of the impostors.
It is very important to keep the instruments in an ignorant stage forever so that they would not be aware of their act of doing good to others. And they should be made to believe that it is their duty to do good to others and they should not violate their duty and violation of their duty would cause harm to them. Hence they are doing good to others in order to be relieved from harm, and since they are benefited by doing good to others, they are to be grateful to the receivers and not vice-versa. It is the duty of the instruments or the bestowers to do good to others and it is the duty of the receivers to receive it. So, both of them should not fail to do their duty and if the bestowers failed to do their duty, they would be punished. In order to protect the bestowers from the punishment, it is the duty of the receiver to receive. Thus, both of them are perfidiously made to believe this concept and it is the seventh stage of the satanic nature.
Would all accept this concept ? Normally, those who have the nature of doing good to others would not accept this concept. Likewise amongst the receivers, those who have a conscience would not accept this. If it is so, then how can it be put into practice? Political influence is utilized to make it practical. If the political power is in the hands of the deceivers, those who do good to others would be enslaved and those who oppose it would be destroyed and crushed, and there would be no opposition in a short span of period.
But the noble minded people feel in their heart that this is not justice, and likewise, the crushed ones and the ones crushing are also getting the same feeling.
In this stage, the satanic concept needs the garb of spirituality, and the minds of the people are imposed on by the following deceptive concept. Looking at the oppressors the following explanation is given.
'You are superior by birth, you are born in a high caste since you have done good deeds in your previous birth. Those who are crushed and suppressed, have been born in a lower caste since they have done evil deeds in their previous birth. If he suffers in this birth, at least he would reach the high status in his next birth. So, you should not spoil him by showing pity on him since he is going to get the high status in his next birth. Everyone should experience the fruit of his birth and no one can overcome it or violate it. If they violate the law of their birth, they would become a victim to the wrath of God, since, this cycle was devised by God.
Who are the ones who violate the plan of God? No one can violate God's plan. Do you think that you can see God through your own eyes? It is a wrong conception. So God reveals him as Brahmins. God is not different from the Brahmins. God is the Brahmins and Brahmins are God. Hence the Brahmins alone are worthy to claim that 'I am God'. Doing service to the Brahmins is doing service to God, and doing service to the Brahmins is spiritual service and doing this spiritual service is the religious life.
If any one of the Brahmins refuses to accept this, he is an enemy who renders evil to the Brahmin caste, to the nation and to the world. So, the true Brahmin would not refute this. Since he is God, he gives power to all which are worshipped as God, and he alone is God.
By devising the concepts in the seventh and eighth stages of the satanic nature, and putting it into practice as per to the Manu Dharma, and christening it as Advaita concept, and showing it as a religion by wearing a spiritual garb and deceiving the Indians, is the task of the Brahmins who totally have a satanic nature. This is revealed by the historical evidences.
Amongst the two stages such as divine and satanic or God and devil, we have seen the demonic nature. Let us now look at the divine nature. We have already pointed out that the divine nature is rendering good to those who did evil to them.
Also, we have seen that the divine and satanic nature is obtained by practice.
We have also seen that rendering evil to those who did good is due to various reasons such as fear of death and one's interest in leading a comfortable life in this world and one's interest in the welfare of himself, his family, or his race. Hence he is rendering evil to others and to other's family and to other's race to crush and enslave those who have rendered good to them, and making this evil as a religion is the satanic stage.
We can consider the following activities as human nature.
The satanic nature emerges if one gets worldly pleasures and benefits through this satanic nature, and desires to take training to practice this concept in his personal life in order to acquire worldly benefits for ever. To acquire these benefits forever, one born with the satanic nature and living as a devil, since their soul is totally possessed with the satanic nature and continues to do so, this can be considered to be one of the natures.
Divine nature
But, how can one acquire the nature of doing good to others who have done evil to them? How can they accept and yield themselves for their own destruction and that too traditionally? This is totally controversial to nature and against the practical life. It may be nice to speak, write and read about it, but is it possible to put into practice by those who had read it? There is no doubt that it is hard to practically live thus, but we cannot say that it is not at all in practice or practised.
We can give examples for this from noble persons, past or present. We can see these role models in history.
Their only motive is to see the welfare of human society. Desiring to bear suffering for the sake of the welfare of others is the first stage. We can see the noble persons in history who bore suffering for the welfare of others and found pleasure in seeing the happiness of others. They continuously did good for the welfare of others and even went to such an extent that they were ready to give their life for the welfare of the society, and they are appreciated as noble, and eminent and as martyrs.
In memory of such great persons, poems and epics have been written, and memorials have being erected. We see in history that festivals are celebrated in memory of such persons so that the people would be reminded of their sacrifice and would similarly come forward to sacrifice their life for the welfare of the human society.
The noble persons who gave their life for human society have told us the secret of acquiring the divine nature that is rendering good to those who have done evil to them. A mother comes forward to bear all sufferings in order to bring up her children to a good status. It is the symbol of her deep love for her children. If a question is asked, 'Who has the deepest love for the children, the father or the mother?', though both of them are bringing up the children, the answer would be the mother. Why does the mother have more affection for her children than the father? Since she has more opportunity to suffer and sacrifice a lot for her children from her conception than her husband.
Sacrificing is the revelation of love. Even though at times the children are without gratitude for her, the deep love for her children is not lost and it is like a lamp that gives light for ever.
Some people, like a mother who bears sufferings for her children, do good for evil and bear their sufferings with the intention of liberating the human society from evil, and are greatly appreciated as the leaders of human society.
Christ seems to be in the first place amongst such religious leaders, who are appreciated. We see in the Bible that Christ is interceding to God for the people who crucified him on the cross and for those who instigated them to crucify him and he prays to God saying,
'Father, forgive them for they know not what they do'.
While he was living in this world, he did good to all who came to him and he taught them to do good to those who did evil to them. Also he taught them to show the other cheek if one smites them on the right cheek. He had a great concern for the welfare of the world society and was longing for the liberation of the world from evil. Not only did he preach, but he also practiced in his life what he preached and it can be seen while he was dying on the cross. What was the power / force that motivated him to act like this?
If we analyze the nature which was in him and which had motivated him to act like this is divine love. The concept that is revealed through this is that he is the brother to all and God is the good Father to the whole human society. The power to do good to the ones who did evil is, in God in the form of love.
Every man who born in this world is the child of God and is created by God in his image. The fact that was revealed by Jesus Christ is that, the people who come closer to God would acquire the love of God that has the power to do good to those who have done evil to them, and hence they could do good for evil.
Whoever come to God, are receiving the love of God. Whoever acquired the love of God, acquired the power to do good for evil, and because of these noble persons, society is elevated to a supreme status and it is pleasing to God.
Most atheists say that they are atheists because of the tyranny over society in the name of God and religion. History reveals that those who labored in order to eradicate this tyranny from the society were christened as 'atheists', and they also suffered a lot because of their noble principles. For instance Thanthai Periyar is labeled as an atheist since he made the statement, 'There is no God'.
Before we can conclude anything from this statement, we must first understand the context, from which this statement was made. While Periyar was the secretary of the Congress Party, he visited a place called Sermadevi where a school was run by the party as a model school for the nation after its independence. At the school he observed that untouchability and caste discrimination were practiced. For instance, separate water pots were kept for the children of the Brahmins and separate ones for the Dravidians. Similarly the dining facilities were separate. If any Dravidian child touched a Brahmin, the Brahmin child was immediately given a bath.
Hence caste discrimination and untouchability were being taught in the school. When he questioned this practice, he was told that this was according to Hindu Dharma, which couldnot be violated! He then replied that, if this Dharma was degrading them then they did not need that Dharma. They then responded that they could not reject it since it was fundamental in the Sastras. Periyar then replied that if the Sastras themselves degraded them to such an extent, then, they must be torn and destroyed. At this, their response was how one could destroy the Sastras, since it was God who gave them these Sastras. It was then that Periyar burst out saying that if God gave such Sastras that degraded us, then they did not need such a God, and such a God did not exist. His statements were made to bring about racial liberation, He underwent untold sufferings for his untiring efforts.
Thus, if we analyze why they suffered and what power made them to act in this manner, we would get the answer from historical evidences. It is the noble inspiration for the common welfare of the world society within them that is the motivating power to act like this.
If we closely observe the commonality of the concept of common welfare of the world society and nature of God, we understand historically that they are not different from each other. Hence, the concept of common welfare of the world society and divine nature of God cannot be separated but are united together.
According to the Bible, when one does for the common welfare of the society, he has done it unto God.
"And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.…Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me."1
While deceivers emerge and are deceiving the society in the name of God and religion, God raises up atheists. Hence, both the atheists who have a real concern for the society and the believers of God, make it their experience to do good for evil, for the sake of the common welfare of the world society.
Amongst the Indian religions, Jainism and old Buddhism are the religions which are not aware of God and we can say that these are atheistic and agnostic religions. However, they are not satanic religions which render evil to the society. The satanic concept is one which says that 'I am God' and induces one to render evil to others for the sake of a worldly comfortable life for him, his family, and his race.
The Satanic nature and the Divine nature, can be summarized as follows:
- Destroying the common welfare for self is satanic nature and
- Destroying self for the common welfare is divine nature.
Amongst these two, one is instigated by Satan and the other is by God. It is not an issue here whether there are God and Satan. But, no one can refute that there is a satanic and a divine nature in society.
