Neuroanatomical speculation on ThirumaN

[Guest guest]

THis is fairly fanciful, but please view it a light hearted manner after the

heavy traditional intrepretation fro "co(s)mic relief:.

Our Central nervous system and its "gray" matter is packed in 3 coverings (dura,

Pia etc). for protection against accidents of Life.Theree are a dense arterial

and veinous circulation of the fluid of life thru them in a intricate fashion

reaching out to all nooks and corners of the brain and its centres , which

control every motor , thought processes as long as we live.

 

The brain has two hemispheres connected by the collosoal fibre bundle known as

corpus collosum, which cross connects the left and the right brain, each odf

which have special functions revealed from the Caltech Scientist et al. The

cutitng of the Corpus Collosum and its consequences in terms of the calamities

in the coordinated functioning of the Brain has also been detailed by the

Caltech pioneer.

We can view the two lines of the Thiruman connected by the U shaped line as the

two lobes of the brain connected by the Corpus collosum.

 

The frontal lobes and the feeling states and the emotional aspects they

symbolize come closest at the forehead in the area of the Ajna Chakram.That

region is covered by the U shaped or the Y shaped portion of the ThirumaN. The

Central nervous System (CNS) really extends as we know down to the tip of the

spinal chord and the Dura matter covers it as a Sac all the way down to

Mooladharqa Chakram. The Vada kalai version might be an abstracted version of

the all powerful version of the CNS to remember and retain Bhagavan and the

Tenkalai Version the full representation of the CNS . The Cranial Nerves control

thru the Sensory and Motor branches the functioning of the limbs in our daily

activities. The presence of ThirumaN on the upper limbs can in this model be

associated with the Control thru the Cranial Nerves.

 

This allegory is mostly for semi-serious Consumption.
