Saint Thiruvalluvar with his wife Vasuki

Thiruvalluvar is very popular ancient poet in Tamil (one of the Indian languages) and his poems of ‘Thirukural’ are well known at India and outside India.

He is called as 'Siddar'. Its real meaning is 'the knower of real knowledge or everything of universe'. In the language Tamil, another important word is 'siddhi'. It means that the man who has the capacity to understand the real thing of universe, life and everything.

This same thing is mentioned in western part of the world as 'Gnostic writings'.
Gnosticism is really not against the god or other religious activities. But it is another version of explanation of understanding the Super Power and its role in universe.

Religious activities are one of the paths to attain the real knowledge of Super power and it is very safe to the followers.

But the Gnosticism is a very tough path to attain the same. This method will affect our worldly life. Because the real detail of Super Power is not as now we think. It is completely against our worldly life. In bible, we can read the word, ' you can never serve the God and mammon'.

So the same scholar, who has written the 'Scriptures', has written the 'Gnostic writings' also.

It is the readers or followers' choice to follow any one of them or both the writings. Anyhow, we must have to understand the true knowledge of our life, God and everything in our universe.

This true knowledge is called 'wisdom' in ancient writings.
I will give more details about Gnosticism and Gnostic writings in my future articles.

Thank you.
