SIDDHA HEALTH CARE

Siddha Medical Science is one of the most ancient forms of medical therapy existing in this modern world. As per siddha history the founder of this therapy was THE LORD SHIVA. It was then conveyed to the great siddhars AGASTHIYAR & THIRUMULAR by NANDHITHEVAR the first disciple of Lord Shiva .It was then followed and carried on by the great 18 SIDDHARS. They determined diseases and treated them on the basis of VATHA, PITHA & KAPHA. They read vatha, pitha & kapha through the pulse beat felt near the wrist joint. According to them, this system of medicine not only treats the diseases in the human body but also purifies the mind and soul. Their vision towards the treatment was different from that of our modern type of treatment. They used only natural medicine to treat diseases because they believed in one principle i.e. "NOTHING EXISTS AS IT IS, CHANGE HAPPENS EVERY MOMENT. "So they knew that "nothing can be invented, every thing is discovered.”So they tried to treat diseases using what belongs to this world, that is our natural resource.                         So brothers and sisters lets turn on our way towards the most ancient natural healing system of medicine SIDDHA MEDICINE. In the vision of siddhars the earth was formed thousands and thousands of years ago, from the burst out sediment of the Sun. Because of its self-revolution and its revolution around the sun, it cooled down and the panchapoothas (soil, water, air, fire and space) evolved in earth. Due to panchapoothas natural affinity towards each other and its balancing effects, several types of single celled organisms were formed. They further got mutated and several stages of life evolved, i.e., grass (monocotyledons), trees (dicotlyedons), anthropoids, etc, etc, were formed. At last the mammals evolved. Human beings evolved about 50 crores of years ago. Siddhars believed human form of life as the last stage of life .So the quest for the reason of birth arose. As siddhars believed in the theory of "nothing exists as it is, changes happen at every moment”, they want to know the next stage of human life, the reason of birth or the "SECRET of LIFE".

Each and everybody has a curiosity to know what happens to man after death. Siddhars had a perfect vision about it. According to thirumular life exists in the atom. He explains this atomic principle simply using pathi pasu and pasam. He compares these three with neutron, proton and electron and simply explains the secret of life. (Neutron - pathi, proton - pasu, electron - pasam.). As per modern science neutron and proton are situated in the nucleus and the electron revolves around the nucleus. Thirumular demonstrates it as pathi (the supreme power present everywhere in the universe) lies along with pasu (the soul) and pasam (maya) envelopes around both and prevents pasu to realise the truth about pathi. So according to thirumular life exists in each and every atom. Because of the effort of pasam, pasu is blindfolded and it slowly starts to get distracted from pathi and gets to expand or shrinks as per its will and starts to join hands with similar particles and increases its density. This is the first step for evolution and it continues until the sixth sensed human race is formed. That’s why I say human race is sacred. Only the humans can realize the Almighty. This is the secret of human life.

The distraction of pasu from pathi transforms atom to humans. This called evolution .The human mind desires all the happiness in this world and stops thinking about the eternal truth. Pasam maintains it perfectly. It will always blind the pasu from realizing pathi. At one stage the human mind gets tired and tries to think on its own. Now it starts to get detached from pasam (maya) and tries to understand this world. Now the question arises. WHO AM I? WHERE I AM? WHY I AM HERE?

Man is the masterpiece of nature made by the panchapoothas. He is designed by the five elements (water, air, soil, space, fire) according to their affinity between them. Because of this affinity 96 themes were formed which developed into a human form. If these themes get decreased the birth is reduced as animals, birds, worms, plants, bushes, stones, etc. Among this 96 themes AGANGAR (super ego) is one of them which makes the human mind to think away from the Almighty and gives us a name, place, home, etc, etc, which actually we does not own. It is the root cause of all things going on around us in this universe.
