This Tamil poem of Prayer glorifies the Tamil 18 Yoga Siddhas to whom we owe the
ancient language of Tamil and the efficient, ancient scientific art of Yoga. The most
ancient language in the world is Tainil and such a dynamic dialect was brought into
existence by the 18 Yoga Siddhas (referred to, in the above prayer) viz; Thirumoolar,
Rama Devar, Kumbamuni Agasthiyar, Konkanavar, Kamalamuni, Sattamuni,
Karuvoorar, Sundaranandar, Valmiki, Nandi Devar, Paambatti. Bogar,
Macchamuni, Pataujali, Dhan- wanthari, Korakkar, Kudambai Siddhar and
Idaikaadar.

I unconditionally surrender to Kriya Babaji Nagaraj, the greatest Pranayam disciple of

the father of the Tamil language, Sage Agathiyar. May Kriya Babaji lead us all to the
harbour of soruba samadhi through the five-fold Siva Yoga of Tamil Siddhantham.
Let us go by the Greyhound bus of Kriya Yogam and leave the driving to Babaji!!
Om Kriya Babaji Nama Aum!
