KumaraSwamiyam
An Ancient Tamil Classic

Translated
By
Viswalingam Padmanabhan,
India
Copy Editor: R. Ramanathan, India
amil is one of the most ancient

Indian languages & there are many
classical Jyotisha secrets in Tamil
literature. One such is Kumaraswamiyam
& many scholars have given it the highest
pedestal attributing their phenomenal
predictions to this classic. In Tamil
language, Kumaraswami means Lord
Muruga son of Lord Shiva. Initially Lord
Shiva is telling astrology to Lord Muruga
here & he in return passes it on to Rishi
Agasthiyar that our current deeds are
based on past karma.
In the translation assignment, this author
has striven very hard to give below the
best possible translation from his
knowledge & trust many will agree. If
they have some corrections/suggestions on
the same, they can contact us. One will
appreciate & understand how difficult it is
to translate from a traditional epic given in
poetic Tamil of good olden days, into
modern Tamil and then into English. It is
a very painstaking job that deserves
accolades.
We continue this series from our 1st annual
issue.
Shri V Padmanabhan is a great scholar

& has contributed a lot to Tamil literature.
He has published English translations of the
much sought after Tirukkural, Naaliadiyar,
Thiruvalluvar as a Living Legend & many
others. Post graduate in Commerce from
University of Madras, retired from the
services of an international bank and now a
senior citizen.

The reason here clockwise direction is mentioned is since in South India the chart is drawn clockwise direction where in
the north Indian chart popularly referred to as the Diamond Chart, the house direction flows in anti clockwise.

Head Diseases
If in previous births one opposes the instructions of brothers in
gurus lineage, or of Guru or Mother or Father then in next life
he will get diseases of the head. In this situation he should
resort to medicines given in Vaidic Shastra. If a Brahmachari
(not married man) in his previous life does the Karma of
Praayop Veshan and Naishikaadi Vrato Ka Tyag he does
then in next life he gets diseases of the head. For this he needs
to feed 50 brahmins and do Uddanndheti Mantra recitation.
He should also do Havan of Kushmand.
