PILLAIYAR CHUZHI It is a practice among Tamils to write 'Pillaiyar Chuzhi' before writing anything.  it is written with immense faith that writing this will help one complete the task without any obstacles and if at all any obstacle arises, it will be smoothly evened out by the grace of the Lord Ganesha. When ‘Jiva’ gets Godhood as Shiva it is called ‘involution’. Shiva is nothing but ‘Sath’ - existence or ‘Paramathma’. When he evolves into ‘Jiva’ with body, senses and ‘antahkaranam’ the process of evolution takes place. That thought is the starting point of 'Pillaiyar Chuzhi' in Tamil - of Shiva into a ‘Jiva’ Spiritually ‘Pillaiyar Chuzhi’ is the truncated form of the ‘pranava mantra’ ‘Aum’ which includes the three alphabets - akaram, ukaram , makaram in Sanskrit 'a','u','m '. ‘Aum’ is the ‘nada brahmam’, thefirst manifestation of ‘Brahman’ as sound.

AUM 'ॐ', 'Aum' or 'Om' is the most sacred syllable of Hinduism. It stands for 'Brahman' both as impersonal and personal God. The goal of life, which all the Vedas declare, which all austerities aim at and which men desire when they lead the life of continence, if told in brief: it is Om. This syllable Om is indeed Brahman. This syllable is the 'Highest'. Whosoever knows this syllable obtains all that he desires. The syllable consists of three phonemes ‘a’ Vaishvanara, ‘u’ Hiranyagarbha and ‘m’, Iswara, which symbolize the beginning, duration, and dissolution of the universe and the associated gods Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva, respectively.
