History of Konganar Siddhar | Mystic Secrets with Dr S. Mahesh

Siddha Konganar was said to be born in Kongu Nadu (currently comprising the western part of the Tamil Nadu). Hence his name Konganar, which means ‘from the land of Kongu’. His place of birth is believed to be a small village called Oothiyur, presently in Erode district of Tamil Nadu. His parents were from a poor economic background with their livelihood dependant on forging and selling vessels in front of temples in the village. Amazingly this place is still famous for forging of metals into idols or any instruments. Their economic struggle did not stop them from serving Yogis and Saints who crossed their humble household. Siddha Agastyar, in his Biography on Konganar, describes Siddhar Konganar’s parents as pious and virtuous.

Konganar was one of the disciples of Siddhar Bogar. There was no mention when he met his Guru. But he fondly and proudly calls Siddha Bogar as his own parent: என்னை ஈன்ற போகர். Siddhar Bogar also describes Konganar as the first and best disciple among his students. He learned Siddha Medicine System under Siddhar Bogar and became a powerhouse of knowledge. His contributions include 25 known works in medicine, yoga, philosophy, religion etc. He also learned the gospels of Siddha from Agathiyar.

During his study period, Konganar Siddhar excelled in alchemy, Siddha Yoga, Siddha Gnana philosophies, Siddha meditation and also as a physician. He compiled numerous treatises on alchemy and medicine, which is way ahead of the modern discoveries and innovations in the field of chemistry and medicine. Though from a humble background, just by his austerities, strong mind and willpower he raised himself to the level of a great Siddha. He was conferred the title “Father of Medicinal Chemistry” in the realm of Tamil Siddha Medicine System. Later he became a Guru himself and had 557 disciples. He is so compassionate and reaches out to fulfill the material needs of his disciples and also those who seek his blessings. His compassion is explained in a story which also exemplified the Dharmic nature of the life of Siddhas.
