Abstract

Thirumoolar is one of the sixty-three Nayanmars and one of the eighteen Siddas of Tamil Nadu. He gave the Secret truth of Mantra, Tantra, Medicine, Yoga, Life and Philosophical Satras in his treatise “Thirumandiram”. He is revered for providing life truths through the Tamil language to make good for the generation. Through his knowledge, he has done a great service to society and given noble ideas to protect nature. Thirumoolar is the pioneer of the Siddhar who has used natural herbs and pranayama from the universe and brought them to the earth to prevent oldness and wrinkles and to win old age. Thirumoolar realized that if natural resources are destroyed, the universe will also deteriorate. So, he recommends that individuals should practice keen health through austerity, cleanliness, exercise and brahmacharya in a prompt manner. This article examines the relationship between man and nature found in “Thirumandram”. It explains the natural degradation caused by the creation of the body after death and the methods of preventing the spread of epidemics between humans through the life-saving air Prana.
