Siddhar Valmiki's Thought

He is indeed fit to be called SIVA.

By Purifying the mind and attaining perfection one becomes a siddhar.
Siddhar Thirumoolar's Thought

Those who live in yoga and see the divine light and power through yoga are called Siddhars.

One of the best known Siddhar Agasthiyar was the Father of Siddha culture

There are some features which are typical for all siddhars.
  • In sharp opposition to the bhakthi tradition, they refuse to allow themselves be carried away by idol worship in particular temples.
  • In contrast to bhakthi which emphasizes passionate devotion to God, the siddhar emphasize knowledge, yoga practise, and character, moral behaviour, right conduct. Anger, lust and egoism are the worst sins.
  • Almost all Siddhars raise a protest against caste and casteism.
According to the above review our Swamiji Vethathiri Maharishi is also considered to be one among the siddhars of the New era.
