Narration

The Supreme Pontiff of Hinduism, Jagatguru Mahasannidhanam, His Divine Holiness, Bhagavan Nithyananda Paramashivam, during the live public talk - Nithyananda Satsang, continued a Series on the Siddha Tradition. In this talk entitled Siddha Tradition 3-Siddhas and their Siddhis, The Supreme Pontiff of Hinduism explained how the Siddha Sampradaya evolved and spread all over the Cauvery civilization. He shared that it was Sage Agasthya who settled in Kodaga Desam, who started the Sidha tradition with Bogar, his disciple who lived in Palani Hill, Arunagiri Yogeshwara from Arunachala, and Deci Meenakshi, who was also a great siddha. He shared how these different areas specialized in different herbs and medicines for different purposes and how Bidadi ashram itself had all the different trees, used by the Siddhas, naturally growing there, even the mud from snake holes had a special purpose. He explained that everything perfectly made for the Siddha tradition to grow, is found at the ashram and He called upon the Siddhas to bless us all to achieve and radiate Enlightenment.
