He was, what Ramakrishna Paramahamsa calls, an Isvarakoti - a realized soul, a soul which had gained integration with the Godhead. His return to the world was not as a result of past karma. Of his own choice, filled with great compassion for erring humanity, he came down from the presence of God where he had been enjoying bliss of union with the Godhead. In the south, on his way to the Pothiya-malai (pothigai mountain), he reached one day, at dusk, the outskirts of a village called Sathanoor.

There he found a herd of cows lowing miserably round the dead body of their cowherd. Ascetic as he was, whose chief characteristic is, according to Thiruvalluvar, compassion to each and every creature on earth, he abandoned his body by virtue of Yogic powers and entered the body of the dead cowherd, and forthwith that corpse became alive to the delight of the miserable cows.

The ascetic in cowherd's skin took them back to the villagers who were beginning to get worried about their cattle. He returned to the spot where he had left his own body and found that it had disappeared. This was an act of grace of Lord Civan(Siva). So, he continued to remain in the cowherd's body, and was soon immersed in Tapas (contemplation of God) under a sacred Peepal tree in Thiruvaavaduthurai, a neighbouring Caivaite center(in Tamil Nadu State). K.R.Srinivasa Iyengar, the famous Aurobindonian-Poet beautifully sings: Leaving his Himalayan retreat Some fifteen hundred years ago He went in quest of the Southern Sage. Many and many a year he covered The spaces of the continent And saw spread out a motley world. Portable traktor dj studio 32. Beneath that manifold variety He saw a common humanity The Mother's children all.

Eighteen languages they spoke. Yet he read in all of them The same thought, feelings, images. At last one evening he found himself Where crowding cattle made deep moan For the beloved cowherd stricken dead.

Steeled against the shocks of time, But this rude impact of pain Released the submerged springs within. Coerced by force of pity He left his holy tenement To inhabit the prostate form.

As the cowherd leapt into life anew, The cattle wildly danced for joy And led him briskly home. But the waiting anxious cowherdess Was seized with nameless terror When he turned his eyes away. The rejected wife bewailed her lot, Went round, and asked the elders To intercede on her behalf. At length they made report to her: 'A great effulgence sits on Moolan. He will be a man apart, a star'.

Anon returning to the woods He searched for his habitual shell But couldn't find it anywhere. He had perforce to continue In cowherd Moolan's cast-off frame; And did it matter, after all? In the deep of the forest Moolan sat in meditation And saw the Sunrise of Self.

Soon disciples flocked to him And now and then he spoke a verse And these became three thousand. Defying the march of Time And the breaking and making of nations His Thirumandiram abides with us still'. According to the traditional lore, which Sekkizhaar (the author of Tamil Saivite classical work Periya Puranam )unquestioningly repeats in his chronicle, Thirumoolar is said to have lived for over three thousand years, being engaged all the time in Yogic contemplation, and coming out of the trance once a year to compose one verse of his magnum opus, the Thirumandiram of 3000 and odd stanzas. Scholars, however, now place him in the fifth century A.D.

They also believe that several of the verses in his work are interpolations, but as it is difficult to separate the chaff from the grain, the world of Tamil scholars has accepted all the 3000 odd stanzas as Thirumoolar's own work.
