Kaliyan
Encyclopedia
Kali was the sixth fragment of the primordial manifestation of Kroni
(evil) according to Akilam
, the source of Ayyavazhi mythology
and the holy book of Ayyavazhi
religion. Unlike other previous manifestations, Kali spread in this yugam
(yukam in Tamizh) as maya
(illusion). Details of Kali were restated in Ayyavazhi Religion and he is the same kali mentioned in [Kalki Puranam]]. Kali's vehicle is Golden ("Vitthakalai" in Tamizh . This is from Sanskrit Vitta means wealth, Kala means quality).
, "Your greatness, the Kroni
was created and fragmented into six and from that, five of them were made to take birth and since none obey you, all were destroyed by Vishnu
(Mayon/Thirumal in Tamizh), and his spirit (the spirit Vishnu took only in the Avatar
s) was kept in Parvatha Ucchi Malai
(In Sanksrit 'Uccha' means high, In Tamizh 'Malai' means Mountain. And by the sixth fragment, Kroni still has a birth in Kali Yugam." He also requested that in this yugam his sixth fragment should be created with a body with eight chans (spans - distance from the end of the thumb to the end of the little finger extended).
Accepting his request, Shiva replied, "Good, Won’t Vishnu
had to come?" For that Deva Muni replied, "Vishnu was in his ‘Sleep of Wisdom’ (sleeping) in the world." Hearing this, Shiva assembled, Vasishta Guru of Govuha(? Needs Sanskrit equivalent), Devas
of Deiva Lokam, the members of Vaikunta Lokam Kinneras(Kina nathar in Tamizh), Kimpurusha(Kimburudar in Tamizh),and memebers from all other worlds. He also assembled all the Deiva Ganas. Then he asked the gathering, Is Vishnu in Vaikuntam? If he is not there, then where is he? Also they repeated that, Vishnu was dead lying (without any activities) in the lower world (Earth
).
Hearing this Shiva replied, "All the previous five fragments were destroyed since they did not respect us. Now it’s his sixth birth and even in this he doesn’t realize it no other chances will be provided and he will be sentenced to death. And so in this birth he will be created as a human being with abilities of aesthetics
, wisdom
, beauty
, and sharp intelligence. Also all in the previous Yuga
s, Vishnu take the body of four spans and head one span. And in this yuga, Kali will be given the body of the same size of that of Vishnu in all previous yugas, so that he will have no chances for saying reason for his defeat as the previous ones. Does any one have any opinions about it?" All the Devas, chiranjeevin sage
s, and the brahmin
s, those who read scriptures all accepted this and so Shiva decided to create Kali.
and control every thing. But now all the practices were disintegrated. As you stood up from your seat the whole world will suffer and the dharmam gets disintegrated. Strategem will rule the world. The land will be in lack rainfall. The true scripture which tells about the Brahmam will be found lost there substances. By saying this Nandhi along with Siva return to Kailaasham.(Kayilai in Tamizh)
. His body was made by assembling earth
, sky
and fire
. The water will be the strength of him. The vayu (air) will be the prana for him. And he will be the most cruel one, of all the six fragments. He also said that, Mayon
, in the previous yugas, as Narasimha
, Rama
, and Krishna
take a body with 4 spans and so Kali in this yuga born with the body of same size and pushed himself out of earth.
By hearing this Shiva asked Chitra gupta to tell about his lifespan, qualities, and his power. And for that Chitra gupta, starts narrating, "As he was born without the instrumentality of normal human parentage, all the 96 Tatvas
in his physique as rude and unrefined and, would have his intelligence and five senses rooted in falsehood. His eye
s, leg
s and head
will leads towards sin. His nature is not knowing the true nature of the things here. He has a life span of about hundred years. He will attain maturity at his age of fourteen. He will have about ten hundred thousand drop of semen
in his body (Some claim this as 10 lakh drops of blood). He will attain full bodily maturity in the age of 31. The body of him which was built up with, blood, bone, veins and muscle are made up of water and earth, and this is used for nothing (useless). His body will have 9 openings outside. This toy ( here body) will be controlled by a bird (here soul
) , and when it’s time for the bird to go, it fly away, leaving the toy here, and thereby the bird will have no relation with the toy. This bird and the body is free for him in this yuga. And till the bird is with him, his savageness couldn’t be tolerated. As his nature is like this, and as he is built up of savageness he will not be thankful.

s to bring him to kailasham. All of them went in front of him (kali) and told him that, "You are asked by Shiva to come to Kailasham". Kali rolled over, and still his head is inside the earth
and the earth is sticky. He was not able to come out. The sky
was in ignorance. Kailasham trembled because of this. Those who witness this were shivered. So some of them came to Kailasham and told Shiva that, "Kali was not able to come out and the earth was suffering because of that." Shiva made a plan. He made a single fork using a kammalan (iron Smith) and asked Nandhi to carry him out using that fork. Nandhi took the fork and walked towards him. Then using it he took him out. And as soon as he did it the opening in the earth shut immediately. Then all of them unitedly pulled him to Kailasham and produced him in front of Shiva.
on his neck, and ash on forehead and seated on a skin of elephant, ready to give me what I need?" - Kali disgraced Shiva
. By hearing this the devas asked him, "Don’t disgrace him. He was the one who created the world and offer food for every life in the world. He was the light which was not even visible to Mayon
and Vethan. (This is an allusion to when Shiva appeared in a form of endless lingam
of light when there was a dispute between Mayon and Nathan as to who is the greatest and in order to subdue their pride.) He will be able to give what you claim." Then Kali asked, "If he was the one who creates the world ask him to create a beautiful girl for me."
As per his claim a lady named Durukthi was created from his left rib-bone. And then Kali understood the power of Sivan.
asked Kali to thank Shiva and asked him to claim the boons. Kali accepted this, saying, "Your highness, the one who creats me a lady, now gives me what I need." Shiva told, "Ask me what you want?" As Shiva agreed to offer him boons, he started asking boons which controls the whole Universe
. All logas shivered on hearing the boons of Kali.
On hearing this Shiva
asked Parvathi what to do. She replied, "All his claims must be fulfilled but it should be performed under technique." So Shiva created a man named Agastya
(Agatheesar in tamizh, Agasthyar in Grantha Tamizh) with his mind in order to offer the boons. He was created with great knowledge of every subject. Then Shiva ordered him to give him all the boons Kali claimed. Obeying this Agastya Rushi offered all the boons and taught all subjects to him. After this Agyasthya met Sivan and told that, "Your greatness, all the techniques including the ‘technique of living forever’. Also the Chakram
and Crown
of Vishnu were bought by him as boons. If all these were with him it was impossible to destroy him."
or any weapons. If I quarrel with you, even the lady on my side will degrade me. So move aside and run away anywhere". Then Vishnu replied, "Then promise me that." Kali asked, "To promise on what" For that Vishnu said, "Promise on your boons, kingdom, your lady, your military and your dynasty." Kali promised, "Hereby I promised that, If I create any troubles to beggars earth, I, my lady, my boons, my kingdoms
, military
, all these will fail. I and my dynasty die and will go to hell." As kali promised so , Vishnu got the Chakram from him and cursed it as Money and gave it to him. As soon as it was cursed, the chakram asked Vishnu that, when this curse will finish. Vishnu replied, "When Kali was defeated it will be away from you." By carrying this money Kali told Durukthi that, we have now with us what ever we need. Then Kali went to Shiva and asked him to allow him to go to the world. By then Vishnu told to Devas
to write all the happenings perfectly, and walked towards Vaikuntam.
s, birds, reptiles, and all ethics/Neethi in Samskrtham quit the world. Animal kindgdom started to experience immense torture. White Elephants, White Lions, White tigers, Five-headed Snakes, White Swans, White Cuckoos, White Doves, White Peacocks, White Cobras, White Wolfs, White Garudas, Hanuman, White Crows, White Deers, Good Rhinoceros, all moved towards Vaikuntam as Kali enters the world. The good Pearls, good Gems, the old Vedas, good Shastras, went away from the world. The Trishanku (Trichangu in Tamizh), went deep into the sea. All which originates in the sea went deep into the waters. Gold went into the earth. All the idols of Gods, temples and the sutras (formulas) think to go into the water and earth. The rain which, till then fall thrice in a month quits the world. Beautiful flowers left the world.
As the wicked Kali came to the world, the waves of sea became angry and washed away many parts of land. All the ethical people went into the forest from the country. There the eldest one among Pancha pandavas, Yudhisthira
asked the Dharma Neethi that, If all of you went away, how can we attain Vaikuntam. It replied that, as Kali came to the world we cannot be there so we were going towards Vishnu
. As they replied so, also the Panchapandavas followed them.

All of them who witnessed it came to Sivan and reported it to him. At once Shiva rise from his seat and started walking to see this wonder. Then Nandhi/Nandheesha(Nantheesurar in Tamizh) came across him and said, "Your greatness, you are the one who can’t wholly known even by devas. Why Though was found here? Can I know it?" Sivan replied, "I heard that now there is a being, born inverted, against dhanam (money ) whose legs were towards sky and head towards flower (flower here - earth). So I am going there to witness the scene". Hearing this Nandhi replied, "Dhanam was overtaken not there, but here. At any situation you will be on your seat in KayilaiMount Kailash
