Traditions of Worship in Thiruvasagam

Abstract

Thiruvasagam, the eighth of the twelve Thirumarais, divinely describes the methods of worship. Saivism is the oldest religion. Tirugnanasambandar, Thirunavukkarasar, Sundarar, and Manickavasagar are the four Saiva religion preceptors (Kuravars). It was because of these four that Saivism flourished. Manickavasagar was the one who worshipped the Lord in the Sanmarga system among these four Saiva saints. The methods of worshipping God, such as Right Conduct, Disciplined Acts, Ethics for the wellbeing of body and soul, and Enlightenment towards Lord Shiva, have also been explained. Through Bhakti Norma, the nature of many stages in the state of compassion, the warmth of love, humanity, compassion, and truthfulness are also explained. Through the path of devotion, the nature of the various stages of compassion, the warmth of love, humanity, kindness, and truthfulness are also explained. Manickavasagar was the root cause of the birth of the Sanmarga system. Next to that, it can be said that it was Vallalar and Bharathiar who took it to the people. It is the highest and most noble religion among the liturgical systems of worship. No one before or after Manickavasagar had the privilege of mingling with the Lord. His interconnection with God is also explained in this article.
