Nirragam

Nirragam is a term originating from the Tamil language, meaning "disintegration" or "dissolution." It is often used in philosophical and spiritual contexts, particularly within some schools of Indian thought. The concept of nirragam refers to the gradual breakdown or cessation of something, whether it be a physical substance, a mental state, or a more abstract concept.

In a physical sense, nirragam can describe the process of decay or decomposition. In a psychological context, it might refer to the fading of emotions or the dissolution of ego. Spiritually, nirragam can be linked to the idea of detachment from worldly desires or the ultimate dissolution of the individual self into a universal consciousness, as seen in certain ascetic practices or meditative states. It is not necessarily a negative process but can be viewed as a natural stage of transformation or liberation. The understanding and application of nirragam can vary significantly depending on the specific philosophical or religious tradition.
