Siddha poetry

Siddha poetry is a classical Tamil literary form rooted in the spiritual and philosophical traditions of South India. It encompasses verses composed by Siddhars—mystic healers and spiritual scholars—focused on themes like divine knowledge, health, and enlightenment. These poems often use metaphor, symbolism, and rhythmic language to explore concepts of the universe, consciousness, and morality. Siddha poetry aims to inspire spiritual growth and understanding, blending scientific insights with spiritual wisdom. Its importance lies in its contribution to Tamil literature, medicine, and spiritual discourse, reflecting a sophisticated tradition that has influenced cultural and religious practices for centuries.
