ABOUT THE BOOK
The philosophy of the Tamil Siddhas, by virtue of its mystical and enigmatic nature, has not attracted the attention of many scholars in the field of philosophy. As such, there is a marked paucity of reliable works on the Tamil Siddhas. The present work of Professor Ganapathy fulfills the need for a comprehensive and faithful presentation of the philosophy of the Siddhas. Drawing upon a wide range of sources, the author has sought to give a philosophical foundation for the conception of the human body, the method mysticism and the twilight language of the Siddhas. Unlike other works on the Siddhas, the present work has highlighted the social concern of the Siddhas too.
