The texts which are explanatory/commentory texts of shiava sidhdhantha, that were written in this period of 12th to 14th century are called Santhana Noolkal or Meykanda NoolkaL. While the rest of the thirumuRais are singing the glory of Lord shiva, the Tenth Thirumurai Thirumanthiram(2) is the one that deals in detail about the philosophy and yoga. These santhAna texts are absolutely dedicated for philosophical discussions. These texts analyse the various factors, logics and experiances, refute and support the various philosophies on the ground of raising and answering questions. These are excellent food for thought and are Shaiva sidhdhanthic philosophical tutorials. May the Nameless, Formless Supreme pashupati, Which transcedes everything bless us, the seekers !!
