Siddhas

Hidden in the forests and mountain caves of ancient Southern India lived a clan of mystic sages, performing intense sadhana. Through these practices, they experienced heightened states of natural consciousness through total inner transformation.

This was the beginning of the tradition of the 18 Siddhas, which was formed in pre-vedic times - long before the currently known paths of Ayurveda, Buddhism, Yoga, Vedanta, Hermetics, Native American Indians, etc…. The Siddha tradition is considered to be more than 14.000 years old and it emerged and evolved naturally.

From the 18 Siddhas, Sage Agasthiyar, Siddha Bogar, and Siddha Thirumoolar are among the most well-known ones.

The term Siddha is often confused with 'Siddhis' - which is incorrect. The word Siddha originates from the Tamil root Chittar, meaning consciousness. It is a state where one is fully established in Self, one with the Universe, one with Existence - allowing humans to live and express their highest potential.

Most spiritual paths seek the Supreme to dissolve and disappear in IT. The Siddhas declare that the halfway mark. For them, true communion was attaining the supreme state without abandoning the body-mind complex.

The Siddha path is not an intellectual one. It’s the path of an organic, natural flow.

At some point in our lives, there might arise the existential question: Why am I here? What is the meaning of my life? This occurs mostly in situations of crisis, and thus a spiritual quest begins and we start on our journey to find according answers.

The Siddhas have traveled this journey in its entirety, gaining a vast knowledge of the secrets of Mother Nature, reaching the Supreme state, and showing how we each can attain the ability to live our lives meaningfully in the highest potential expression. All of their vast profound knowledge, ranging from medicine and healing, yoga, tantra, martial arts, and alchemy, to name just a few, is shared for the well-being of humanity. This supports us all to live more authentically in a wholesome way.

Originally this ancient Siddha Tradition was passed on strictly orally from the master to the trusted student/disciple. Later, different Siddhas wrote manuscripts in cryptic verses and songs using metaphoric language. If one is interested to learn about the secrets of existence it will be only under the guidance and teachings of a true master himself, thereby protecting the purity of the teachings.
