  1. Saiva, Vaishnava and Christian Teachings

  2. “A Creed of Saivite Hindus 1.We BELIEVE Lord Siva is God, whose Absolute Being, Parasiva, transcends time, form and space. 2.We BELIEVE Lord Siva is God, whose immanent nature of love, Parasakti, is the substratum, primal substance or pure consciousness flowing through all form as energy, existence, knowledge and bliss. 3.We BELIEVE Lord Siva is God, whose immanent nature is the Primal Soul, Supreme Mahadeva, Paramesvara, author of Vedas and Agamas, the creator, preserver and destroyer of all that exists. 4.We BELIEVE in the Mahadeva Lord Ganesa, son of Siva-Sakti, to whom we must first supplicate before beginning any worship or task

  3. We BELIEVE in the Mahadeva Karttikeya, son of Siva-Sakti, whose vel of grace dissolves the bondages of ignorance 6.We BELIEVE that each individual soul is created by Lord Siva and is identical to Him, and that this identity will be fully realized by all souls when the bondage of anava, karma and maya is removed by His grace. 7.We BELIEVE in three worlds of existence: the Bhuloka, where souls take on physical bodies; the Antarloka, where souls take on astral bodies; and the Sivaloka, where souls exist in their own self-effulgent form 8.We BELIEVE in the law of Karma — that one must reap the effects of all actions he has caused — and that each soul continues to reincarnate until all karmas are resolved and moksha, liberation, is attained.

  4. We BELIEVE that the performance of charya, virtuous living, kriya, temple worship, and yoga, leading to Parasiva through grace of the living satguru, is absolutely necessary to bring forth jnana, wisdom We BELIEVE that there is no intrinsic evil. We BELIEVE that religion is the harmonious working together of the three worlds and that this harmony can be created through temple worship, wherein the beings of all three worlds can communicate. 12.We BELIEVE in the Panchakshara Mantra, the five sacred syllables “Namah Sivaya,” as Saivism's foremost and essential mantra.” http://www.siddha.com.my/saivism.html

  5. The Nicean Creed “ We believe in one God, the Father All-sovereign, maker of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible. We believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, and the only-begotten Son of God, Begotten of the Father before all the ages, Light of Light, true God of true God, begotten not made, of one substance with the Father, through whom all things were made; who for us men and for our salvation came down from the heavens, and was made flesh of the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary, and became man, and was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate, and suffered and was buried, and rose again on the third day according to the Scriptures, and ascended into the heavens, and sits on the right hand of the Father, and comes again with glory to judge living and dead, of whose kingdom there shall be no end.

  6. We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord and the Life-giver, that proceeds from the Father, who with the Father and Son is worshipped together and glorified together, who spoke through the prophets. We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic church. We acknowledge one baptism unto remission of sins. We look for a resurrection of the dead, and the life of the age to come. “

  7. “Taproot of the Hindu religion: • Doctrine of Avatar - God becoming a man in order to redeem human beings. (Unborn Prime God was born in order to give us eternal pleasure) • Trinity or Triune doctrine - God in triune stage - Appan, Ammai, Makan (Saivism); Siva, Vishnu, Brahma (Vaishnavism) • Doctrine of fulfillment of sacrifice - The offering of sacrifice has ceased even though there is sacrificial altar in the temple. People do not offer sacrifice while they worship God. • Doctrine of forgiveness of sin - There is forgiveness for the sins of human beings by the grace of God and this doctrine is totally controversial to the saying that ‘the actions of one person would definitely yield its fruits’. • Doctrine of bhakthi - Appreciating the bhakthi which is in ones heart irrespective of one’s appearance, color, culture etc. (Kannappa Nayanar) “ • The Revival Movement of Dravidian Religion • Dr. M. Deivanayagam, Dr. D. Devakala

  8. Pillayar Concept Appan, Amma and Makan

  9. This is an image of the rock cut Karpaka Vinayakar Shrine at Pillayarpatti near Karaikkudi at one of the oldest Cave Temples (Rock Cut) temples of Tamilnadu. Pillayarpatti is situated between Pudukkottai and Karaikkudi.

  10. Over 15 inscriptions are found within the temple, that help establish the age of the temple. The Stalapuranam published by the temple classifies the growth of this temple into three distinct stages. The first stage - 400 AD. During this period, the innermost rock cut shrines housing Karpaka Vinayakar and Tiruveesar came into being. The pillars within the shrine are of pre-Pallava origin.

  11. Karpaga Vinayakar is one of the oldest Vinayakar images in the world for it has only two arms. The significance of the two arms is that the first god evolved by ancient man was in the shape of man. This male god created out of stone was called Yaksha and the female god was called Yakshi.

  12. Later on to show the superiority of god to man the head of the man was removed and in its place a head in the shape of OM was fixed. The OM head was similar to that of an elephant. There are only two images of Vinayakars with two arms in the world.

  13. Valampuri Vinayagar

  14. Vaishnavism

  15. Trinity 'Moovaraahiya Moorthiyai' (Triune God) 'Moovaraahiya Oruvanai' (Triune person)

  16. Sacrifice 'Thaanae thanakkumavan than uruve evvuruvum thaanae Thava Vuruvum'(He himself is his comparison,all images are his images, He himself is the image of sacrifice) 'Vanakkudai thava neri vali ninru' (By following the adorable path of the one who sacrificed himself )Thavam means 'Thannuyir thaanara peruthal’ (offering once own self as sacrifice) says Thiruvalluvar which means sacrificing ones ownself.

  17. DelivererThere are references about Original Sin (Janma bhandham) and individual sin (Karma bhandham) in Bhagavad-Gita. And God delivers us from these "I will deliver thee from all sins".

  18. Krishna is not Vishnu He has not sacrificed himself He cannot release you from Janma bandam Nor Karma bandham Krishna is not the author of Bhagawat Geeta

  19. All documentary evidence thus suggest that both Saivism and Vaishnavism are the offshoots of Early Indian Christianity

  20. Six-fold religions based on Siva worship Siva, Sakthi, Kumarakkatavul, Pillaiyar, Vishnu, Brahma and Ayyappa. Brahma is a cheat and a lier Discarded as god

  21. Siva's roots are from Isa Maheswara Parameswara Isa

  22. 8th c A.D, Adi Sankara amalgamated the Six-fold religions Saivism, Vaishnavism, Saktham, Gaumaram, Ganapathyam and Sauram, by using monismand the caste system
