The human being is a multi-sheathed interwoven organism with its origin in the sky (Ether element) and its roots within the Earth (Earth element). The remaining three primary elements (air, fire and water) are what compose the intermediate form – the human body. We are more than just the frame of our physical body. The origin, the Siddhas name in their manuscripts as, Thiru Vasi. (Each ancient tradition has its own name for the origin). Thiru Vasi remains as our source of livingness throughout our lifespan. Once it withdraws we die. The Siddhas revere Thiru Vasi as the, flawless cosmic blueprint of creation, sustenance and dissolution. As the rhythmically breathing Thiru Vasi enfolds space, it gives birth to form. This process of enfoldment is easily identifiable in the formative stages of the human embryo. To put it very simply, it is the breath (inhalation and exhalation) of the Primary source that gives forth all forms, cradles it and dissolves it as well. No form exists independent of Thiruvasi. In Palpandian’s book, Siddhas masters of the basics , he writes, …. “as the macro so the micro…..” implying that Thiru Vasi exists even on an individual level. The Siddhas name it Vasi. Vasi is the guarding intelligence / energy fuelling core livingness by its inherent rhythmic breath, and connectivity with its grander counterpart, Thiru Vasi. In the Siddha tradition, Vasi is of core spiritual importance. Vasi, from its pulsating core spurts a fountain of fuel, bringing us to life and provides for involuntary functions such as breathing, digestion, blood circulation, assimilation, even blinking and a host of other survival gestures. These are existential essentials. But to walk, run, see, feel, think, have urges and desires etc., demands a lot more energy, which we contribute to this primal fuel through our breath, food and water. The combined fuel supply allows for an organised and meaningful life.
