Kurumba Nayanar

PERUMIZHALAI KURUMBA NAYANAR : The yogi Kurumbar found soul-satisfaction in serving Shivayogis. He would feed them and give them gifts in all humility. By engaging his mind with total faith in meditating upon Sundarar, another great devotee of Shiva, Kurumbar became an adept in the eight Siddhis. However, he did not get lost in the regions of the occult but reached the crests of yoga by holding on to the Panchakshara. One day he understood from his yogic vision that Sundarar had been granted eternal life by Shiva. As he did not wish to continue on earth life after Sundarar's leaving the physical, Kurumbar too reached the feet of Shiva by withdrawing from life through the power of yoga.
