Abstract

Saiva metaphysics, guru worship, Linga worship, confluence worship, and the goal of the soul is to attain godliness. Thirumanthiram, the eighth sutra of Sivagnanabodha refers to the Saarala (Single Point) system. The perfection of the soul, the word Guru is also referred to as the remover of darkness. God will appear as a Guru. Arrogance, karma, and illusion lead to birth. It is God who prevents them. The word Shiva means purity. It is God who purifies the three unclean things. According to perfection in the souls, he will manifest himself as form, incorporeity, and corporeal. Devoted service, godly deeds, meditation, and knowledge are the paths to reaching God. The highest point of spirituality is knowledge. Gurulinga Sangama worship is the simplest way to attain enlightenment. The clergy regarded God as their guru. Gurulinga Sangama worship is a simple means for the soul to be liberated. The Lord himself has come as the Guru of Manickavasagar. He gave knowledge to the Apparadi through his sister. Guru worship is the first way for the soul to reach the end. Guru worship removes the misery of births. Linga worship is the worship of the embodied form of Linga (Here, Linga that is visible to the eyes is invisible to the mind). Confluence worship is the practice of performing worship together with the devotees. Confluence worship is the simplest way to receive god's grace. The confluence worship is explained in the 12 sutras of Thirugnanabodhar. Gurulinga Sangama worship is a state of interconnection with the Lord. When arrogance reduces, the strength of Karma and illusion also diminish. This is the basis of Gurulinga Sangama worship.
