  • The beginning point

    The Siddha Science is he Traditional knowledge generated from Devidian culture. In Tamil verse (written in palm leaf manuscripts) unequivocally proclaims that siddha wisdom had originated from Lord Shiva himself. Agasthya along with 18 siddhar shared this knowledge to benefit the human race. There are many branches under siddha like siddhavaidyam, varmam, yoga vidya, kayakalpa astrology etc.

    • Siddhar recorded their knowledge in palm leaf manuscripts, fragments of which were found in different part of South India.
    • There is a huge collection of Siddha manuscripts kept by Traditional Siddha Families.
    • Few interested parties decided to reveal the traditional knowledge in front of the global audience.
    • By the eminent leadership of Sri Prem Nath, they organised a general body meeting at Deva Vidya Gurukulam

Core Values of Siddha

"Siddha Medicine" means medicine that is perfect. Siddha Medicine revitalizes and rejuvenates the organs, the dysfunction of which is causing the disease. This brings back normal functioning of the organs.

SIDDHA & HUMAN HEALTH CARE

Traditional Siddha medicine upholds balancing, uprighting and eliminating the pathogens as the main principles of treating diseases and maintaining health. It plays a good role in the fight against viral diseases, chronic inflammation, functional disorders, endocrine disorders and other diseases.

NOT ONLY FOR PREVENTION BUT ALSO FOR EASY CURE

Traditional medicine stresses prevention before diseases rather than treating diseases But Siddha Medicine give equel importance in prevention and curing. According to the siddha medical system, diet and lifestyle play a major role, not only in health but also in curing diseases.

Siddhi behind the Siddha Science

The word Siddha comes from the word Siddhi which means an object to be attained perfection or heavenly bliss. Siddha focused to "Ashtamahasiddhi" that is the eight supernatural power. Those who attained or achieved the above said powers are known as Siddhars.

Most of the authentic manuscripts are still held by many families and are not available to the general public.

By the help of traditional siddha experts we aim to foster Siddha Science by bringing together the useful things behind all secret siddha manuscripts.

The Council for Applied Siddha is the non-profit organization founded to develop creative and workable solutions to Siddha healthcare system.

One of the biggest stresses facing families today is the cost of medical care, particularly for progressive illness. So we establish :

  • Hospital & Wellness Centres
  • Traditional Gurukulams
  • Kalari Training Centres
  • Yoga Training Centres
  • Nature care Centres
  • Siddha Wellness Club
