The great Siddhars of the Tamil tradition — their lives, teachings and journeys, alongside Sage Bogar. This section will grow to hold the stories and videos of the 18 Siddhars.
The Siddhars are remembered across the Tamil Siddha tradition as masters associated with spiritual discipline, poetry, medicine, yoga, alchemical knowledge and the pursuit of realization. This section is being developed as a knowledge directory rather than a list of names alone.
Because the traditions surrounding individual Siddhars contain different layers of history, literature, lineage and later interpretation, each future profile will distinguish the source material from interpretation and from claims that cannot be independently established.
Begin with Bogar, whose teachings, journeys and Bogar 7000 form the central focus of this website.
Agastiyar appears among the source traditions discussed in The Source Texts Behind Bogar 7000. A dedicated knowledge section will be developed from reliable material.
Dhanvantari is also named among the traditional sources discussed in the site's source-text notes.
Thirumoolar is included among the Siddha sources identified in the site's discussion of the textual background to Bogar 7000.
Roma Rishi is another Siddhar named in the source-text discussion and will be treated as part of the wider knowledge network.
Kalangi Nathar is presented in the site's Bogar material as an important Guru figure in Bogar's traditional narrative.
The Siddhar tradition should not be separated from the texts, teachings and lineages through which its knowledge is remembered. Our Articles & Insights section will gradually examine individual sources and themes, while the Bogar 7000 page provides the central roadmap to the seven Kaandams.
Read about Bogar, explore the source texts, and then move into the wider Siddha tradition at your own pace.
