The Metaphysics of The Saiva Siddhanta System

The Metaphysics of The Saiva Siddhanta System by K. Subramania Pillai first published in 1929. It is not so much the author as the subject that needs an introduction. The Saiva Siddhanta System, which is the finished product of Tamil culture, excels all other systems of philosophical thought in two respects; (a) there is complete harmony effected between the Innovent and the Transcendental theories of God which it is not possible to fine elsewhere (b) great prominence is attached to the Anavamala inherent in the Soul and various methods of Soul culture are prescribed either to eradicate the mala or to keep it strictly within bounds. The practical effect of these two cardinal features of the system on life is something marvelous. There is complete concordance between theory and practice on vital matters like the path of devotion, the value of service to fellow-beings, idol worship, symbol worship and the like.
