Q. The symbol of Ayya vazhi religion
Solution:
- The symbol of the Ayyavazhi is a lotus carrying a flame-shaped white ‘Namam’.
- The lotus represents the 1,008-petalled Sahasrara and the Namam represents the Aanma Jyothi or atman, sometimes translated as “soul” or “self”. * There are references for Thirunamam in both primary and secondary scriptures, Akilattirattu Ammanai and Arul Nool.
- Though the overall consideration of the whole contents of Akilam focuses on the concept derived from the symbol ‘Lotus carrying Namam’, it seems that there is no direct reference for it in the scriptures.
- But according to some legends, this symbol was in use in Ayyavazhi from the early forties of the twentieth century.
