She makes a request in this regard to the Chola King Mavan Killi:. The king released the prisoners and there, as Manimekalai desired, to enable them of great penance for higher achievements, he built an enclave for charities with the royal levy. Buddhism is more of an ethical system enjoining practical rules of morality than a system of religion. The Buddha did not profess to expound the relation of God to man nor did he discuss questions concerning the nature of God or soul.
He wanted his disciples to aim at purity in thought, word, and deed. He laid special stress on the virtues of truthfulness, reverence, and respect for animal life. Sathanar, through the mouth of Aravana Adigal, espouses the esoteric logic in Canto 29 and ethics of life in Canto 30 when he initiates Manimekalai in the ways of Buddhism, and she starts ascetic life.
It is only proper that we should remember their services to the Indian psychiatry in particular and World psychiatry at large. Guruswamy G, Srinivasan S Manimekalai — Retold in English.

Abstract This article refers to materials of psychiatric interest found in the Manimekalai written by the 2 nd Century CE Buddhist poet Sathanar.
Keywords: Buddhism, history, psychiatry, schizophrenia. I prostrate before thy flowery feet! Our savior hear my appeals! Your life entering your dirty body, Will grieve like those shut up in unventilated dungeon! Our leader has shown this that gives by itself Bliss during this birth!
And deliverance in the coming birth! In the course of his travels he meets and studies with leaders of different sects, and the epic describes the true nature of Shakti worship, Buddhism, Jainism, Christianity, Islam, Sikhism, Zoroastrianism, the Vedas, Yoga, the Siddhas, Ramana, Sri Aurobindo and various other rishis and teachers. Shuddha sees the truth of all religions, and establishes Sama Yoga, teaching this yoga to others.
This form of yoga is one which brings equality, oneness and peace. Evil, allegorically depicted as the Asuras, is defeated, and one of the Asura kingdoms too joins Shuddha. His yogis then spread through the world, propagating psychic and spiritual love, dharma, and right conduct, and after some initial difficulties, create a perfect world. Among his numerous other works is Veda Sadhanam, a bible of universal Hinduism, which has essential extracts from ancient texts, and focuses on the One behind the many.
He said that a true understanding of Hinduism would lead to universal harmony. Another book, The Gospel of Perfect life, provides the graded twelve stage sadhana of Sama Yoga, or spiritual socialism. He explains how through following this path, everyone in the world would be equal and would have whatever they need. This is attained by developing inner spiritual qualities, and helping others to attain this by right guidance and education.
He refers to fake gurus and states that the true ones seek no publicity. Truth is One, exists everywhere and lives in the heart of all. On the other hand, a true guru is to be valued. Like Jiddu Krishnamurti, he believed that the world could be transformed only through the transformation of each individual.
But unlike Krishnamurti, and despite his vision of a universal life of peace, the methods offered, including his educational methods, are steeped in Indian traditions and ideals. After travelling to several different places and spreading his ideas, in his last years he settled at Sholapuram near Shivaganga, where he had founded a school, and also a Sama Yoga centre. Though he died on 7 March , Sama Yoga centres still exist in India and other parts of the world, seeking a way for the whole world to live in unity and peace.
