Study of Marma SthanamVarma Kalai

China and Japan

Of the various countries which learnt the art of warfare

from India, China and Japan were the foremost.

Bodhidharma (A.D.520) went to China from

Kandhipuram (Kanchi) to spread Buddhism. He stayed

at the Shaolin monastery and preached Buddhist

ideologies. At that time he trained the local people in

the art of Varmakkalai. This is recorded in their book.

This art underwent many changes and came to be

known as Shaolin boxing (Shorinji Kempo) or Wu-Shu.

The Chinese and Japanese schools of this art agree

with 108 Varmam points. At present this art is

spreading among our people.

Classification of MarmaSthanam

UDARKALAI: It divides the Varmas in to physical and

sensory locations. The 5 sensory organs and the IdaPingalai,ValaPingalai,and Sushumnai.

UYIRKALAI: The passages for the excretion of motion,

urine, semen and cornea are said to belong to

uyirkalai. Any injury or affliction caused to the areas ofudarkalai, also affects uyirkalai.

Birth of Marma/Varmam

Linga Sariram: The Astral body is known in India as

Linga Sariram. It is in this Astral body that varmams

are born. They form the blue print/matrix for the gross

physical body.

Sira naadis: The Sira naadis or finemeridians that

enliven the astral body is born of light. This luminous

body is known as Causalbody. 3 out of the prominent

10 sira naadis, actually gives birth to varmams. Theyare 1. Sushumnai 2. Ida pingalai 3. Vala pingalai.


5/31


3 Sira Nadis & 12 Seats

Sira naadis: Each of the 3 Sira naadis (Sushumnai, Ida

pingalai, Vala pingalai), contain 4 varmams. Therefore

3 nadis x 4 varmams= 12 varmams.

12 Seats: These twelve varmams form the twelve seats

of uyirkalai and udarkalai. Hence they are called 12

PaduVarmam. The word Padumeans lethal.

which together form the 96 Thodu Varmam.
