Ancient Scientific Wonder by Tamilan

Wisdom of Siddhas (Siththars)

These 5 temples represent the five elements of nature. The physical body of the throbbing life is also composed of these five elements.

All these temples are located in South India with four of these temples in Tamil Nadu and one in Andra Pradesh. Shiva in these temples have five different names based on the elements they represent

Earth – (Land)- Kancheepuram – Prithvi Lingam
Water- Jambukeswaram – Appu Lingam
Fire – Arunachalam – Tiruvannamalai – Agni Lingam
Air – Srikalahasthi – Vayu Lingam
Sky – Chidambaram – Akasa Lingam

These five temples were built by people of highest spiritual accomplishment.

Not only is Kalahasti, Kanchipuram & Chidambram in a straight line and longitude but Kalahasti, Tiruvanaikoil and Tiruvannamalai are also on a straight line.

All five temples joined together form an isosceles triangle with the distance from Kalahasti to Tiruvanamalai equal to distance from Kalahasti to Chidambaram.

Tiruvanamalai dissects the distance between Kalahasti to Tiruvanaikoil. ie, it is in the exact middle of Kalahasti to Tiruvanaikoil. Note that Kanchi Ekambareshwar temple is also one thirds distance between Kalahasti and Chidambaram. Tradition says Seekers should visit these in natural order, ie Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Space – namely Kanchi, Tiruvanaikoil, Tiruvanamalai, Kalahasti and Chidambaram.

Interestingly, the most significant point of this triangle is the where most holy shrine of them all, Chidambaram, is constructed. Drawing a line from this point connects temples in Kanchi & Kalahasti.

Drawing a line from here to Tiruvannamalai bisects the line between Kalahasti and Tiruvanaikoil!!!!!
