Abstract

It can be known from literature that monumental stone has been worshipped in the name of soldiers who died in war since the Sangam period. Tomb shrine worship is worshipping the body of a siddha in the tomb. In Tamil Nadu, the Siddhas studied the body and mind and learned the art of suppressing life with the body and attained immortality. The Siddhas indirectly said that the separation of life from the body is death, and the bio-condensation of life with the body is eternal. To achieve this, if one receives the Kundalini spiritual enlightenment properly from the spiritual educator and performs the proper exercises, the mind becomes compressed and the magnetic energy of the soul expands, and eventually one attains the supreme state of spiritual enlightenment. This state is known as spiritual enlightenment. The Siddhas, who have attained spirituality and have attained mmortality, should bury the bodies of the sages and worship them according to the rules of sacred writings (Agamas). It is called a tomb shrine. The sacred writings tell us how the place of burial, the environment, and the structure of the burial should be. Doing so will benefit the country. If their bodies are burned or neglected, evil will occur. The sacred writings say that if the body of a sage is left unburied and rots and is eaten by foxes, then the land will be destroyed by enmity in the country where it is eaten by foxes. The conclusion of the sacred writings is that the funeral rites and other activities performed for the dead should not be performed for the bodies of sages who have attained spiritual attainment and are considered to be the shrine where the Lord resides and is worshiped. A magnetic energy field is felt in the shrines where spiritual attainers are enshrined. Practitioners of kundalini enlightenment can easily feel that energy and experience ecstasy. Analysts believe that such energy fields cross borders, time zones, and languages and are parallel to one another.
