BOOKS ON THANUOLOGY
(VARMAM)
(by Prof. Dr. S.
Chidambarathanu Pillai)
The origin of
Thanuology (Varmam): Siva, charged with the task of
destruction, offered the martial arts to the illustrious Tamil Kings,
Chera, Chozha and Pandiya. Sakthi wanted to relieve the distress of the
people caused by the martial arts. To this end, Marachchan and Ayyan did
penance and got this wonderful medical science Varmam (Thanuology)
from Lord Siva (Thanu). Today it is practised by a few families in Nanjil
Nadu (in South India).
(Price
Rs.100/$6/5)
Philosophy of
Thanuology (Varma Kuravanji): Thanuology is a unique
Medical Science, dealing with the impact ailments and their treatments. It
is a blind area to be exploited and explored for the health-care of
man-kind. The Presence of Prana Vayu (oxygen) in the 72,000 nerves
in the human physique is called Life force. Due to various impacts the
nerve centres are affected. Initially the flow of Prana is
obstructed and in course of time, ailments arise in accordance with the
nature of the nerve-centre and the magnitude of the impact. This treatise
provides the readers with the techniques of Varmams, its
classifications, its gender, diseases arising from the impacts and also
its philosophical aspects as narrated by Shiva to Sakthi. Illustrated with
graphic charts and diagrams, the contents of the book are found to be
educative and a joy to travel through.
(Price
Rs.100/$6/5)
Concept of Thanuology
: This work is based on, "Varma Saari" which deals with the
evolution of the universe, embryology, important
life-centres/nerve-centres (Varmams), its signs and symptoms,
ordinary and extra-ordinary type of life-centres, retrieval methods,
methods of treatment, the code of conduct of Practitioners (Thanuologists)
and the learning student. It has a mini pharmacopoeia, covering variety of
medical preparations for the health-care of mankind.

Rs.150/$9/8)
Vital Life Centres in
Thanuology : Out of the seventy two thousand life-centres
associated with the nervous system of the human physique, 108 life-centres
are important. Except the 12 Vital life centres that this book deals with,
the other 96 life centres have close relationship with 96 Thathuvams which
help smooth functioning of human body. Twelve Vital life centres are
located on the main nerve centres, passing through six plexus
(Aatharams). It narrates its locations, signs and symptoms if
affected, its retrieval methods, treatments, series of suitable medicines
etc. This book also examines critically the names of vital life centres
and also their numbers with reference to its relevant treatises on
"Nithanam" and "Sasthiram".
(Price
Rs.100/$6/5)
Medium
Life-Centres in Thanuology : Thanuology is the science of
life-force in the human physique and the treatment when it is affected
with impacts. Medium life-centres (Thodu Varmam), are ninety six in
number. Their existence is based on the ninety six thathuwams of the human
physique. These ninety six medium life centres (Thodu Varmam), are
the peculiar life-centres that are difficult to name and locate them
properly under normal circumstances. Efforts have been made in this book
to name the ninety-six medium centres, the time limit to retrieve the
victims, the signs and symptoms when affected, the diseases that are
caused when defection occur to these life centres, the possible retrieval
methods, treatments and the different medicinal preparations.
(Price

at striking life-centres caused by accidents and the appropriate therapy
and treatment. These striking life centres are eight in number. They are
vulnerable points and should be understood
These
striking life centres are eight in number. They are vulnerable points and
should be understood by the practitioners of Thanuology (Varmam).
These life-centres come under the category of inner (cell)
life-centres.
The techniques of Thanuology
are apt materials for sports medicine also. Some of the articles of the
book are interesting. It is a useful treatise to both general medical
pracititioners and sports medical practitioners.
(Price
Rs.150/$9/8)
Measures of
impacts in Thanuology : Different types of impacts cause
disorders to nerve centres in the physique. These impacts are either
minor, medium, major or fatal in nature. When impact occurs to
nerve-centres, it is the cause for the ailments in due time. The measure
of impact to nerves centres indicates not only duration of the survival of
the victim, but also the severity and types of his diseases. This book is
a guide to Thanuologist to measure the life span of accident victims.
Without the knowledge of measure of impact, if one enters into treatment
of accident victims, it will land him in difficulties and
despair.
(Price
Rs.100/$6/5)
Signet of Thanuology
: Thanuology (Varmam) is a medical science meant for cure
of impact ailments, caused by accidents. In fact, afflictions are caused
to the physique, mind and life. This book is divided into two parts. The
first part deals with twenty three important life-centres, and is written
in simple style to help the students and general public understand the
various aspects of these life-centres clearly. The second part deals with
five key retrival devices. A word of caution is, that wrong usage of this
art will bring misery to the practitioners. For want of knowledge of this
unique medical science, millions of people all over the world suffer from
impact ailments. It is high time that the people should understand the
gravity of this health problem, and act promptly to institutionalise this
science by opening colleges, hospitals, pharmaceuticals and research
centres so that the health care of mankind can be adequately safe guarded
without further loss of time.
(Price
Rs.500/$30/25)
Diseases in Thanuology
- (Vol. I) : This volume deals with a fraction of the total
diseases that arise on account of impact to various nerve-centres in the
human physique. The causative factors for vaious diseases, as assigned by
Thanuology is quite new to the modern medical system. It is a meaningful
sphere which the world of medical sciences has to ponder over. There is
origin for every disease. This treatise deals with eye diseases, caused by
impacts to Varmam (nerve-centres). It is because the nerves in the human
phy caused by impacts to Varmam (nerve-centres). It is because the nerves
in the human physique are very sensitive, and if the nerve centres are
inflicted due to accidents, it gives room for many diseases. Of the
ailments, eye diseases command vital importance as that of eyes to man.
Types of eye-diseases, caused by impacts to important region of the
physique, the treatments and the various forms of medicine prescribed are
covered in this treatise. It is equally important to general practitioners
and also the eye specialists who treat the eye diseases without being
concerned with its origin. This treatise is sastric and its contents are
really an eye-opener to the medical world.
Genital organ of female is
vulnerable to many diseases owing to its delicate nature and its
functioning. The majority of the gynecological diseases arises owing to
promiscuous sexual behaviour. So also inflictions to nerve centres of the
genital organ occur on account of improper techniques, employed during
delivery by the midwives and doctors. During pregnancy, the woman receives
nervous impact due to choosing irregular posture and other abnormalities.
Impact at inbaveli (a typical nerve centre) affects the baby and
the mother in a peculiar manner.
Impacts to the life-centres become chronic
illness if they are either serious in nature or are not treated due to
negligence. If the impacts occur to vital life-centres, it will be fatal;
medium-life centres, it renders the victim unconscious and also suffer
from ailments. Impacts to joints, top of the head, outer and inner ears,
nose, arm, elbow, uterus, depression on the neck, chest, breast, sternum,
epigatrium, liver, spleen, lungs, intestine, abdomen, ribs, pelvis, hip
joint, anus, testicles, kidney, ankle etc., will give rise to chronic
ailments. Appropriate medicines are laid down for use in patient for
relief, besides the diet restrictions that help speed up cure of the
ailments. Treatments for impacts, sustained by children, disorder of
spinal cord, umbilicus and the infliction of top (of the head) are some
other items of this book.

the medical science of Thanuology to diagnose the impact ailments. Though
the subject of Pulse Reading is related to the Three humours in the human
physique, as has been employed in other Indian Medical Sciences, the

For instance, the various positions of the eye balls of the victim will
indicate as to which part of the body has been affected, and the
seriousness or otherwise of the impact, besides helping to denote the
limitations of victims life, and the age of the impact. The contents of
this book are the essence of the extracts of various treatises on

Crescent of Thanuology
: As that of different Asaras in yoga are recommended for people
to eleminate the accumulated poisons, created in our body due to
unsuitable food, irregular life style, variation in climatic conditions,
poisonous bites etc., the poison created due to impact to life centres of
the body, is removed by therapies resorted to in Thanuology (Varmam).
Thanuology (Varmam) is another Tamilian medical science second to Siddha
Medicine. The Human body is a net work of 72,000 nerves. The junctions of
each nerve form the life - centre (Varmam). Of which, 828 life centres are
important. It is dealt with in "Varma Vimanam". These life -
centres are grouped as vital life centres, Medium life centres, Striking
life centres. Inner life centres etc,. Depending on the measure of impact
at life centres, different ailments arise. If no proper treatment is given
in time, the victims life span is shortened, besides exposing them in
series of diseases.
By the defection to
life-centres, caused by accidents about 20 % of the people all over the
world suffer. The treatment under Thanuology (Varmam) covers different
medicines/Theraphis as laid down in hundreds of ancient treatises in the
form of poems in Tamil Language.
Thanuology (Varmam) is the
master art of all martial arts. All martial arts are used for offence and
defence purposes. Where as Varmam is used to cure the impact ailments
caused to human beings. It is a medical science, similar to other Indian
systems of medicine.
Thanuology (Varmam) is an
independent medical System in India. It has the features of a typical

medical system was handled in many centuries by a few families in
Kanyakumari District which was under the earst while Travancore
state.
By 1956, the Indian states were
reorganised on linguistic basis. As a result some Tamil speaking districts
of then Travancore were merged with Tamilnadu. Thereafter Varmam came to
Tamilnadu. This medical system deals with different aspects such as
origin, philosophy, fundamentals, measure of impacts, name of
life-centres, signs and system of life centres if affected, treatment to
life centres, pharmocology, pulse reading etc.,

BOOKS ON SPORTS
MEDICINE
(By Prof. Dr. S.
Chidambarathanu Pillai)
WORLD SPORTS
REVOLUTION
The sports activities have, in recent
years, gained momentum in all nations of the world. Still, a lot of areas
require reformation, and technological improvement. The book on World
Sports Revolution covers up source development, Sports engineering and
technology, stadium development, standardisation of sports goods and
services, social security schemes, International sports development fund,
sports medicine etc. These will certainly enhance the standard of world
games :
Paradoxically the present sports
medicine in vogue is a new concept and requires adequate development.
Thanuology (Varmam) is an ancient medical science, associated with
Tamilian culture. The Hindu dt. 23.6.84 reported that it would be good
if Govt. comes forward to develop Thanuology through institutions and
hospitals so that its benefits will not only reach the sports world but
also elevate this indigenous system of medicine to the international
forum". It is high time to develop a world university to popularise sports
medical education and medical services in a fitting manner. The
International Olympic Committee should constitute a special committee to
draw a master plan on the lines stated above to develop sports activities
with representations of the nations of the world. The schemes will help
opening of new departments in each nation to discharge multifarious
functions. Hundreds of educational and research Institutes are to come up
to produce qualitative and quantitative improvements on sports and their
matters. Thousands of works units are to come up generating employment
opportunities for millions of employees in all the member nations as well
as the IOC level.
To sum up the IOC has a meaningful
future, much more brighter than the activites of UNO in the aim, schemes,
execution, and achievements.

INDIAN SPORTS MEDICAL
SCIENCE
Thanuology (Varmam) is the apt
medical science that can be employed to cure the ailments of sports
persons. Presently Allopathic medical science is manipulated and used as
Sports medicine. It does not help to improve physical powers to win
laurels in the international games.
Every one knows that Dravidian land is
the bed rock of the 64 arts which no other country in the world can boast
of. One such art is of Varmam. At the outset, I would like to make
it clear that there is no relationship between Varma system of medicine
and Acupuncture and acupressure. These arts are of recent origin. I stress
this point with my experience of 45 years in the field and hailing from a
family of 46 generations dedicated to Siddha medicine. It will be better
if people are made aware of it.
Varma system of medicine has a
special character and grammar of its own. Varmam assumes the role
of a mother of the martial arts. It is an art based on scientific
facts.
Life is propelled by Prana Vayu
(Oxygen) in the human physique. It gives lifeLife is propelled by Prana
Vayu (Oxygen) in the human physique. It gives life energy to the
72,000 nerves found in the human body. When the flow of Prana Vayu
(Oxygen) is obstructed, life is at stake. In the human body, there are
secret nerve centres in the bones, internal organs, tissues, nerves,
joints and the like, hidden from naked eye. These secret locations are
known as Marmam and later came to be called Varmam.
Nerve centres are impaired due to
impacts on account of thrashing, attack, kick, beating, knock, cuts etc.
In consequence, normally health condition titillates. The patients suffer
from swelling, swooning, loss of blood, inability, contusion,
bone-fracture, dislodging of joints and even death. These are some of the
external signs and symptoms. Loss of consciousness, inability to work,
tissues going astray, shattering of internal organs, uneasiness and the
like are noticeable internal symptoms, in respect of those affected in
this way. Varmam impacts pervade all the 32 organs in the human
body and give rise to T.B., Asthma, Blood pressure, Heart attack etc. One
of the main causes for AIDS is the impact ailments.
Before treatment is given to patients,
it is imperative to diagnose the origin of the disease, the movement of
the organs, the nature of affectation in the nerves, signs and symptoms,
health-condition, classification, whether the case falls under ordinary or
extraordinary nature.
Application and administration of the
prescribed oil, powders, ghee, decoction and Lehyam will work wonders and
yield satisfactory results.
Apart from the above general aspects,
this books contains the special aspects viz., Yoga & well being,
Nervous function, Pulse reading, Retrieval methods, Medical preparations
for injury as well as health and strength and Diet (both internal and
external) for health and extra stamina.

BOOKS ON INVENTORY
MANAGEMENT
(By Dr. S. Chidambarathanu
Pillai.)
1. Introduction
to Inventory Management : In his preface, the Author points out
that, the people belonging to particularly underdeveloped and developing
nations have realised that, in the multifarious inventories of the various
stores set-ups, stores valuing billions of Dollars are held up due to
various reasons. The reasons for holding stock, exceeding its rational
level need detailed study. Unless personnel employed in such problematic
areas are adequately exposed to techniques of efficient Inventory
Management, the state of affairs cannot be corrected. So long as the
Management also realises the bare ncessary to employ trained hands with

: In the book, "Management Practice", the author has analysed the
practical aspects of Management techniques, generally used in various
Organisations. When we think of Management, an Organisation comes into the
picture. Apart from shareholders, that there are many other stakeholders
such as Customers, Suppliers, Dealers and ancillary manufacturers, lenders
and the State and Central Governments who are entitled to have their own
industrial aspirations and expectations to be fulfilled by the
Organisation. Quality is extremely important in the competitive
environment. While quality costs, poor quality costs more. There is an
urgent need to sharpen the employees skills because quality cannot be
compromised, as it will reflect on the survival of the industry itself. We
must be open to new ideas, to new perspectives and to new technology.
Again the predominant part of the company assets comprises of materials.
It is clear that the Materials Manager who has a financial sense can be a
great blessing to the company and if one thinks of it for a moment, it
will be a great service to the nation. Entrepreneurs are born. Executives

13. Clearance,
Forwarding & Claims : The three subjects viz., clearance,
forwarding and claims are interconnected and performed at a Single Unit
either in a small stores or a big Materials Management department. As
Transport aspects of purchasing is important to purchase wing, clearance,
forwarding and claims are important for the Inventory Management.
The cost of transportation
accounts for nearly 20 percent of the cost of Stores procured. The
Officers in charge of the functions of clearance, booking and claims
should therefore have a sound knowledge of the various aspects of the
transport, its principal methods of transport (Road, Rail, Canal,
coastwise-overseas shipping, Air, Post etc.), type of packing, its
regulations and specifications, rates, both standard and exceptional;
rebates and allowance; the principle of agreed charges, the preferring of
claims and the responsibility of the different carriers, their tariffs
etc., and the responsibility of the different carriers, their tariffs
etc.,
As an organisation grows in size and
activities, the transportation becomes very
As an organisation grows in
size and activities, the transportation becomes very crucial and the
effectiveness depends upon the knowledge of alternatives, their rates,
schedules as well as advantages and disadvantages.
The ownership of goods while in
transit, stoppage of goods, carriers lien, legal aspects of delay ,
deviations of transit, carriers, claims etc., are important aspects that
the Transport Manager in charge must be
aware of.
A good packing of stores should
be taken care of and must ensure two basic aspects. It must protect goods
from its own inherent weaknesses and from the rigours of the distribution
systems. Another is that it must enclose the product in such a way as to
optimise the total cost of distribution to an acceptable level of damage.

14. Legal Aspects of
Inventory Management : Ignorance of law is of no excuse. It is
therefore necessary to understand the salient features of various
legislations to manage the business effectively and efficiently.
Generally, the functions of the Materials Management can be divided into
two main wings, viz. Purchase Management and Inventory Management. Both
the functions are complimentary. The legal aspects of Purchase Management
is inter-connected with the Inventory Management. In other words, we
cannot demorcate the legal aspects of Purchase Wing from that of Inventory
Management.
Some areas of Inventory
Management which attract legal complications are Goods transit, Damage and
loss of stores, wharfages, quality of stores, Rejections of Stores,
Delivery period, Disposal of Stores found excess, rejected and damaged,
variations arising from Rate of Sales-tax octroi Duty, carriers, Tariff,
Excise Duty, Customs Duty, Port dues, carriers charges etc. Failure of
supply during the tenure of Guarantee/Warantee period and governed by Test
Certificate, Rebate/Discount on Supply and Disposals of Sales of Scraps,
etc.
We store goods of dangerous
nature including Petroleum products, carboides, all regulations of the
Government and the local governments are to be strictly adhered to. Again
comes the environmental, pollution and public nuisance Acts which need
strict observance. Industrial/Factory Act, Vehicle Act, various
Transportation Act, are to be closely followed so that the interest of the
organisation may not be affected and loss incurred.
The Inventory activities have
assumed major importance owing to the size and complexities of trade and
commerce. Further, one will find that while a store-personnel is promoted
on higher posts, he is supposed to know more and more of the legal aspects
of his functions to become a successful Manager. If his decision lacks in
the reasoning power, his action will be questioned in the Court of
Law.
On Many occasions, the
rejection of stores, due to belated deliveries and technical grounds
attract objections from Suppliers. It may finally be referred to Court of
Law for settlement, if there is no smooth agreement arrived at by the
consignor and consignee.
Excise-duty and customs duty
are charged as applicable being governed by Statutory Law. Still it will
lead to difference of opinion when is an increase in such
duties.
Low of claims, Insurance Act,
Customs Act are also some other parameters that the Inventory personnel
should be acquainted with so that the interest of the organisation can be
safe-guarded.

15. Inventory
Matrix: Most of the present practising professionals of Materials
Management all over the world feel that, present day, management of
materials is affected by Inventory Cost, Government regulations, credit
squeeze, change in the technological growth and other factors. Most of
these cannot be avoidable. Hence an organised approach is required for
improving the efficiency of Material function.
The essence of monitoring the
efficiency of Materials Management lies in identification of key result
areas, setting standards and constantly reviewing of the performance
against standards. Again the standards set in are not static. A dynamic
review of the standards is essential for constant improvement. The
periodical returns from different levels will help constant touch with the
upto date progress of works. There are tangible and intangible factors
which will improve the overall efficiency of Materials function.
In this book viz., "INVENTORY
MATRIX", the subjects such as stores manuals of Instructions, stock
records, operations of forms and registers, periodical returns, key result
areas and indices, corporative objectives of various divisions of
Inventory wing, importance of stock files, procedure for the disposal of
Old records and records management, duties and responsibilities of
Inventory Manager are dealt with. Though these subjects are important,
they are neglected in many stores set-ups. Inventory Matrix is the
fountain head of Inventory Management and guides its functions to work
safely, sensibly, effectively and meaningfully.

BOOKS ON
YOGA
(By Yogi Dr. S.
Chidambarathanu Pillai)
Yoga For Health
Next to God, saints in India
have explained to us the secrets of the living-body. The co-ordination of
matter and energy (Shiva and Sakthi) is the root cause of the formation of
Pancha boothas in our body. Prana is the life-force in our body. The 96
thathuvams are functioned by different kinds of air in our body. The
Nervous system is the route of Kundalini Sakthi. The relation between man
and nature has been considered as crucification. Body can be kept clear
and healthy by allowing the pranavayu to go into our system by yogasanas.
(Price Rs.
60/$3/2)
Kayakalpa System of
Life
This book consists of 13
chapters namely, Prevention is better than cure, Theory of Tridosa,
Kayakalpa System of Medicine, Effect of Food on Mind, Sense organs and
Motor organs, the blood, the theory of biochemistry, Psychosomatic illness
- Depression, Mental disorders, Medical philosophy, Vital force, Kayakalpa
discipline, Food and health. Each chapter deals with subjects related to
kayakalpa system of life. The book is very important and can be easily
followed to lead a healthy and therefore long life. Though the main aim of
man is self-realisation, its practice contains all techniques necessary
for the betterment of health and spiritual life.
(Price Rs.
60/$3/2)
Know Your
Internal Environment
Among us, many do not know the functions of our physique. Once you
know the basic aspects of our system, we may not fail from the norms to be
followed in the up-keep of our health. The persons who get engaged in the
yogasana should know how the internal organs work and its inter
connections and how do Asanas help cure the mal-functioning of the organs
and cure many diseases.
(Price
Rs. 60/$3/2)
Prana
Healing
Man has forgotten his own
nature and behaves differently. Man gets a lot of Physical, Mental and
Emotional tension in the society. Practitioners of asanas will get more
strength and energy. As a result he feels part of the universal
brotherhood of all mankind. Karma is the creation of ignorance. When
ignorance is banished by Meditation, there is no question of karma. Power
behind sun and moon is the same power that is within you and in all
beings. Prana is the life-force. Man is prana plus mind. Body seasoned by
the practice of yoga will not easily perish. Prana travels through the
nerves. The five main systems of the body - the digestive, the
Respiratory, the circulatory, the excretory and the Nervous - controlled
and regulated by the Pancha pranas should function properly. Any defect in
the proper working of any of the these systems leads to diseases. It is
therefore important, that sufficient exercises are given to the internal
muscles that protect and preserve health and prolong the life-span.
