A collection of songs by the Siddhar Karuvurar, focusing on devotion and the path to the divine.
The 18 Siddhars (Pathinen Siddhargal) authored thousands of works, but these are considered the most foundational for modern readers:
The Siddhars (or Chittars) were mystical saints in South India who achieved "Siddhi" or perfection. Unlike mainstream religious figures, Siddhars focused on the physical body as a temple, developing , Varmam (pressure points), and Kayakalpa (rejuvenation science).
The Siddhar books, also known as Siddhar treatises, are a collection of ancient Tamil texts that contain knowledge on various aspects of life, spirituality, and medicine. These books are attributed to the Siddhars, a group of enlightened beings who lived in ancient Tamil Nadu, India. The Siddhars were known for their wisdom, spiritual power, and expertise in various fields, including medicine, alchemy, and yoga.
The Siddhar tradition of Tamil Nadu is more than just a collection of ancient texts; it is a profound system of science, spirituality, and medicine developed by "perfected" beings known as Siddhars. These sages were mystics, alchemists, and healers who documented their findings in symbolic Tamil poetry, often preserved on palm leaf manuscripts.
Run by the government, this portal houses a massive digital library. They have digitized thousands of rare palm leaf manuscripts and old printed books. You can search for "Siddhar" or specific author names in their catalog.
