The healing symbols were said to have originated by Guru King Advaiyyan, but other Aaiyyanists say that the symbols originated from other Gurus/Saints. You may read other Aaiyyanist texts that say that these healing symbols originated from the 3rd Guru. Whatever the history - these symbols have been used for several thousand years and have been proved effective over the ages. The symbols can be prefixed by the word 'Ud' to denote that they are to be performed on the client. The mirror image are the symbols that one performs on oneself.
The inscriptions written here and in the standard Aaiyyanist form which is in fact a historical amalgam of the Aatmaani and Kaaryakartaa scripts. There are many different forms of the individual scripts depending on your school, but we have decided to put the standard forms in this training manual - so apologies to any Aaiyyanists from other schools if they feel that their forms should be presented. To non-Aaiyyanist or beginners, the scripts are slightly different in form but convey the same meaning. The most varied scripts are between the SainikaH School and Parishaantaa School, but most of the schools agree to the general form (e.g. to an English writer it could be like the difference between 'and' and '&' - though this is an over simplification).
