	Avaiyar's Vinayagar Agaval
		Her namesake of the ancient Sangam age was the prototypical Mother Goose of South India who authored the canon of moral guidelines that still form a mainstay to children's education in contemporary Tamil Nadu.
		The character of the Sangam Avaiyar sharply contrasts the Avaiyar of the 14
		Avaiyar's experience of Ganesha manifesting as "a mother" is a sure sign on her crossing the line of Brahminically sanctioned tradition.

		We present the poetry of a later Avaiyar, the 14th century author of the Vinayagar Agaval, a classic Tamil work that is recited in temples and homes.
		Avaiyar's poetry seems to follow a tradition similar to that of the Tamil Siddhas, filled with occult references to the elaborate psycho-spiritual energetic systems of Kundalini Yoga, as well as the more heterodox goddess imagery of Tantrism.
		Given the arcane and sometimes technical nature of Avaiyar's Vinayagar Agaval, it is surprising that it is particularly associated with worship of the elephant-headed god Ganesha, the jovial, fat-bellied god of bounty and overcoming obstacles -- not a god usually associated with the more elaborately technical approaches to yoga and spirituality.

	Vinayaga Chathurthi Sunday September 15, 2007. - Sulekha philosophy Forums
		The 14th century Avaiyar was perhaps the third female poet to assume this name, but the distinctive character of her work, the Vinayagar Agaval, has forever immortalized this obscure figure as a poetical giant in Tamil literary history.
		The Vinayagar Agaval is recited in temples and homes at the shrines of the jovial elephant-headed god Ganesha (the mystical Janus of the Hindu pantheon) At first glance the work seems conservative enough; as it begins with the traditional contemplation of the god from foot to crown.
		Turiya, or "the Sleepless Sleep" is a state of deep yogic trance, where the aspirant sleeps to the illusionary and transient realm of gross sense phenomena and wakes to the infinitude of the inner realm.
