About Us
This website has come as the combined effort of 20 plus of Pal Pandian's foreign students coming from 9 different countries.
As per the tradition of the Aga Guru Lineage, we have come together with the objective to share and to create a well-defined awareness of these teachings to anyone sincerely looking; and allow seekers of Truth wherever they may be to benefit from the profound and enriching multifaceted path this lineage has to offer.
The breadth and magnitude of this path are so profound that seekers can truly benefit from it notwithstanding from which aspect of it they may choose to get Inspiration.
Many of the thousands of inspiring poems were left to us in written form. Written on palm leaves and preserved for thousands of years. Because of that now it is possible to allow our generation to enjoy the same treasures. The interpretation of this poem is not easy as it is written in their twilight language and verses. It requires a genuine teacher himself well versed in a twilight language and with the intuition to decipher such poems.
In our Siddha tradition, our meditations are primarily body based because the inner dimensions of the body are in direct experience with the primal organizing force that has incarnated it. The thinking mind as a sole controller mostly overlooks the organizing undercurrent and it tends to undermine its full holistic perception. As students of the Lineage what is required is our ability to allow our senses to be tuned in and at the same time bring forth our intuitive self that it can play a leading role and harness the true meaning of life. And once this sense comes to the forefront we must align ourselves to manifest the spirit hidden within our bodies.
Very few of us are able to feel the actual sanctity of our own body-space because cerebral living has taken us away from our bodies. To behold our own body is to feel the presence of our creation within it.
Relearning to inhabit our body with full awareness, we decide to embark on a spiritual journey using our body as a main vehicle for enabling us to meet our daily life experiences directly.
As students of this path, we seek to develop our unique sensitivity to our bodies by following the practices handed down to us from the very beginning of the lineage and allow these seemingly simple practices to awaken within us what is required to make the proposed progress and to continue forward on this wonderful journey
In our teacher Pal Pandian's own words:
"Disciple is one who trusts himself. Out of his trust, he comes to learn from somebody who has gone a little further than himself.
He is not a follower, he is not an imitator and he is not seeking security — he is seeking understanding. Even if that understanding brings more insecurity, he is ready for it.
A disciple is seeking a master, not a father figure. He wants to learn what life is. Even if life is insecurity, he is ready to learn. The follower just wants a map.
The disciple wants to go on an adventure. He is not worried about the map, he simply wants a challenge. 'Challenge me!' says the disciple. 'Pull me out of my stupor,' says the disciple. 'Send me on a venture,' says the disciple".
In our Siddha tradition, our meditations are primarily body based because the inner dimensions of the body are in direct experience with the primal organizing force that has incarnated it.
