A Siddha Master once revealed to his disciple a mūlamantra and yantra for each hymn of Kandar Anubhūti, teaching them as practical mantra–prayogas. That disciple was Tiyāgarāja Mudaliyār, who, some 60–70 years ago, published these teachings for the benefit of all seekers.
Many years ago, one of our own students brought us a copy of this work and requested that we learn and share it. Since then, the thought has long remained within us—that these teachings should be reorganized and rewritten in a systematic way, adapted to the needs of the present age.
Without any prior planning, during the recent Ṣaṣṭi festival, this inspiration suddenly flowed forth in abundance.
And so, we begin to write…
We do so with the firm faith that it will bring great benefit to many.
