[Big A]

Hello, to the peoples and also to you Sukuna...

First of all there are some basic concepts about Siddargal(Siddhar).
Anyone can become a Siddhar Men or Women, Chilren or old peoples no restriction.
First of all i want to tell that Yoga is really more different from Siddhar concepts...!
But there is a striking similarity between the approach in practising the art to achieve their Aim. Because of this everybody is thinking that both are same.

Siddham is meant for intelligentness.
Siddham is also meant for Success.

Siddhars are really inteligent peoples.

There are two Classes(types) of Siddhars.
1.Who Does meditation and practice SiddaKalai(siddhar's Arts) inside jungles or in caverns.
2.Who wrote poems for peoples and more linked with peoples.
(Anybody can buy books written by them in book shops)]
Mainly 18 Siddhars including
1.Paampaatti Siddhar
2.Idaikaattu Siddhar
3.Thirumoolar(very well known)
4.Puli Paani
these are south indian Siddhar...
Apart from them Kabilar and many lived in North india.
Books are available about their life history and their poems.

Among them i like Tirumoolar and Kabilar.

Talking about the first class of Siddhars,
There is no guru for a Siddhar.They are themselves Guru for them.They are all living inside forests and Caves. They don't like to interact with peoples.

I have seen somebody in some villages(nearly a forest)
while i entered a place one Siddhar is doing something (practise)He is upside down. his head is inside the soil and his body is outside vertically upwards.And no movement in his body. I asked about him in the nearby village.They explained me throughout daytime he will be like this.

And in another one place a Siddhar is standing in one leg, folding his another leg. He has a position of worshiping the god. His eyes are looking at the sky.

I am only interested in this type of Siddhars.

Near this place in one cave one Swamiji is living... i just went to him and asked about this Siddhar. He told me that this Siddhar Wants to defeat death...! He also said that the Siddhars age may be more than 100 now...

Actually Siddhars will do some practises in lonelyness. not in a group.
Aim of Every Siddhar may differ.
They normally will not depend anything.They will tend to become independent of food water and even air. They are also practising for these .

In my life i am dedicating the month february for practising some SiddaKalai(Siddhar's Arts)

In this february 2005 i have planned to practise to become independent of sleep. So i am going to sleep only in the alternative days of february.

Anybody really that much interested in Siddhar's Arts can also practise something upto their wish...and become one of the Siddhar.

Siddham Saagasam...!
