The Siddha Yoga Vision:

The Siddha Yoga Mission:

Three aphorisms express three essential teachings of Siddha Yoga:

In May 1982, Swami Muktananda installed Ms. Shetty ( now known as Gurumayi Chidvilasananda or Gurumayi ) and her brother Subhash Shetty ( now known as Mahamandaleshwar Nityananda ) as co-Gurus and spiritual leaders of Siddha Yoga.

Swami Chidvilasananda continued in her appointed role and has been the sole spiritual leader of Siddha Yoga since then.

In 1996 former devotees started a website entitled ' Leaving Siddha Yoga ' to express their grievances against Siddha Yoga.

Practices known as traditional medicines include Ayurveda, Siddha medicine, Unani, ancient Iranian medicine, Irani, Islamic medicine, traditional Vietnamese medicine, traditional Chinese medicine, traditional Korean medicine, acupuncture, Muti, Ifá, traditional African medicine, and many other forms of healing practices.

Other Siddha Yoga practices include japa ( mantra repetition ), contemplation, and dakshina, the traditional practice of making a voluntary monetary offering to a saint as an expression of gratitude for what has been received.

All of the Siddha Yoga teachings and practices are intended to be compatible with everyday worldly life and with the teachings and practices of all religions.

Ethnomedicine is a sub-field of ethnobotany or medical anthropology that deals with the study of traditional medicines: not only those that have relevant written sources ( e. g. Traditional Chinese Medicine, Siddha, Ayurveda ), but especially those, whose knowledge and practices have been orally transmitted over the centuries.

Some Siddha and Nathpanthi poetical works belonging to this period are also found, but their genuineness is again, doubted.

Ayurveda is in Sanskrit, but Sanskrit was not generally used as a mother tongue and hence its medines are mostly taken from Siddha and other local traditions.

According to Jain belief Siddha are liberated souls who have destroyed all the karma bondings.

Siddha do not have any kind of body, they are soul at its purest form.

Whenever siddha is mentioned the 84 siddhas and 9 nathas are remembered and it is this tradition of siddha which is known as the Siddha Sampradaya.

The two main ashrams are: Gurudev Siddha Peeth in Ganeshpuri, India, and Shree Muktananda Ashram in upstate New York.

" There are two main types of Siddha Yoga chants: Nama Sankirtana ( lyrical chanting of Sanskrit mantras, typically the names of God ), and Swadhyaya ( the chanting of longer Sanskrit scriptural texts ).

The Siddha Yoga Meditation Intensive is a one or two day retreat in which devotees are said to receive shaktipat ( the awakening of the shakti, or spiritual energy, that resides within the devotee ).

Intensives are typically held once or twice a year and are significant in Siddha Yoga because the " bestowal of shaktipat " is a core element in Siddha Yoga philosophy.

Two statues are at the headquarters of the Central Council for Research in Ayurveda and Siddha at New Delhi.

These species are used in Siddha medicine, which is practiced by the Tamil people.

The Nandinatha Sampradaya is a Siddha Yoga Tradition (" Siddha " means literally attainment ), and its Gurus have often demonstrated great mystical abilities and wisdom.

Ayurveda ( the ancient Indian medicine system ) and Siddha ( the medicine system from Tamil-Nadu, a southern state in the country of India ) have more uses for this plant root and it has been used for centuries as a medicine.

It is also used in these areas in Ayurveda and Siddha medicine streams since time immemorial.
