2. Significance of Siddhar Literature

• Spiritual Path: Focuses on Kayakalpa (body immortality), Yoga (especially Kundalini), Mantra, and Tantra.
• Medical Knowledge: Root of Siddha medicine (one of India’s oldest traditional medicine systems).
• Alchemy: Transmutation of metals (e.g., mercury into gold) and preparation of herbal-mineral remedies.
• Social Reform: Many Siddhar poems (e.g., by Thiruvalluvar related to morality, though not a Siddhar in strict alchemical sense; real Siddhars like Pattinathar) criticize caste, ritualism, and ignorance.
