Dear Pradeep,

My knowledge about Siddhars is almost exclusively from books. As far as I am aware Siddharsa are mystics of Tamil Saivism, just like Sufis are mystics in Islam, Kabbalists in Judaism and Gnostics in Christianiy.

Siddhars do not talk about philosophy, although Moolar is an exception. Like all mystics, Siddhars insist on having a Guru and thus mystical paths are always guided paths by an intermediary.
