चिऱप्पुलि नायऩ्मार् (३५) गुरुपूजै

Observed on Pūrvāṣāḍhā nakshatra of Vr̥ścikaḥ (sidereal solar) month (Prātaḥ/paraviddha).

Between the 6th and 9th centuries, in South India, there existed 63 ardent devotees of Lord Shiva, collectively known as the Nayanmars. These devout individuals, hailing from various walks of life including potters, fishermen, farmers, merchants, priests, hunters, and washermen, created devotional songs still sung by followers around the globe. Among these Nayanmars, Appar, Sambandar, and Sundarar, known for their Thevaram hymns, along with Manikkavasagar, are distinguished as the Samayacharyas or the ‘The Four’ (ta:nālvar) revered teachers of the faith. They were instrumental in promoting the Shaiva Siddhanta philosophy and culture, effectively challenging the spread of Jainism and Buddhism. Their teachings centered around the concept that Shiva embodies love, and that embracing love for all beings and existence is essential in connecting with Shiva, the Supreme Being.

Sirappuli Nayanmar, a devout Brahmana from Tiruvakur in the Chola kingdom, was deeply devoted to Lord Shiva and His devotees. He also conducted Vedic sacrifices to propitiate Lord Shiva. He demonstrated his devotion through sincere worship and service. A significant aspect of his spiritual practice was the constant repetition of the Panchakshara Mantra, day and night. All these earned him the supreme grace of Lord Shiva.

मूर्क्ख नायऩ्मार् (३२) गुरुपूजै

Observed on Mūlā nakshatra of Vr̥ścikaḥ (sidereal solar) month (Prātaḥ/paraviddha).

Between the 6th and 9th centuries, in South India, there existed 63 ardent devotees of Lord Shiva, collectively known as the Nayanmars.

Their teachings centered around the concept that Shiva embodies love, and that embracing love for all beings and existence is essential in connecting with Shiva, the Supreme Being.

Murkha Nayanmar, a Vellala from Tiruverkat in Thondai Nadu, was a fervent devotee of Lord Shiva. He devoted himself to Maahesvara Puja,in the form of generously feeding the devotees of Shiva. In his dedication, he expended all his wealth on this practice.

Faced with financial depletion, he adopted an unconventional method. He engaged in gambling, solely to finance the feeding of Shiva’s devotees. Driven by his devotion, he ventured beyond his village, seeking gambling opportunities. His determination was fierce; he would not hesitate to use force if someone declined to gamble with him. This earned him the moniker ‘Murkha Nayanmar,’ implying a somewhat misguided or reckless devotee. However, he never used his gambling gains for personal gain, dedicating everything to the service of the Lord’s devotees. This reflects his profound devotion, a state where the devotee is wholly absorbed in God, almost oblivious to worldly norms.
