<strong>Hinduism</strong>: What Really Happened in India – M. M. Ninan 185 To quote a few examples from the first book of Saiva Sittanta Thiruvunthiar: (i) Sin “Avan aval athu yenum avai moovinaimaimayin Thotria thithiye odungi malaththulathaam anthan aathi yenmanaar pulavar” In the beginning god created man (avan), woman (aval) and the world (athu) in three different actions and they were holy. . But later they fell into sin (malam) which end the life of holiness and was the beginning of sin say the scholars. ( Sivagnanapothan –1) “Muththi mutharkodikkae mogk kodi padarnthu aththi paluththathu yenru vunthee para appalhan vunnaathaw vunthee para” Among the creatures which were holy, on the first creeper, the creeper of sin crept over it and bore the fruit of evil. Speak this forth. Do not partake of that fruit. Speak this forth. (ii) Avatar 'The hitherto unknown God came down as one of us and gave up Himself to save us from evil'. (iii) Salvation through His sufferings 'He who has accomplished the works of salvation through His sufferings will not come again in His body, He has no birth or death again'. (iv) Eternal life 'If you join Him who shared His home with the thieves you will attain the heavenly abode which is light'. Songs from other literature are also quoted. In defining the Trinity as three persons in one God head: (v) Trinity and Avatar " The eternal God( Siva) and the Ornamented one (Vitnu).
<strong>Hinduism</strong>: What Really Happened in India – M. M. Ninan 186 And the eternal one on the Lotus (Brahma). If examined are one and the same But the ignored are confused". In Saivism God is visualized in three forms as 'Aruvam' (God without form), 'Uruvam' (God with a form) and `Aruvuruvam' (God with semiform). 'The Triune Prime God' sings Thirugnana sampanthar in Tevaram. The author of Potripahrotai sings "Iravaa Inpathu Yemai iruththa vendi piravaa muthalvan piranthaan." (To give us eternal pleasure, the unborn prime God was born). He delivers us from our original sin (Sahasa malaa). (vi) Sacrifice The Godhead had lost all his glories and offered himself as a 'Sacrifice', so that mankind could be restored to a new life leaving the inherent qualities of leading a sinful life. In short, he gave himself as 'Sacrifice' for the remission of sins of the mankind. This is sung by Thirunavukkarasar in Tevaram as follows 'Aviyumaahi' (He offered himself as sacrifice) "Aviyaai aviyumaahi arukkamaai Perukkamaahi Paaviyar paavam theerkum paramanaai brahmanaahi" (He being the sacrifice he offered himself as Sacrifice, decreased yet multiplied, he is the Transcending Brahman who washes away the sins of the sinners.)” This similarity is not restricted to Saivite theology but extends to Vaishnavite theology as well. Dr. Devakala summarises this also:
