About Kamalamuni Siddhar
Siddha Kamalamuni’s birth star is Poosam in the Tamil month of Vaikasi (mid May to mid June). And as we publish this article, it is the special occasion of Poosam or Pushya nakshatra in the Tamil month Thai (mid January to mid February). Thai Poosam is a highly venerated day in the Siddha tradition. As we write this article sitting some 15 kilo meters from Palani (established by Siddha Bogar), we witness thousands of devout seekers undertaking kavadi (a heavy offering carried on the shoulders for Lord Muruga) and padayatra. Every year women, men and children from various regions of Tamil Nadu, offer this padayatra where they walk hundreds of miles, barefoot, energetically chanting the name of Lord Skanda. It is a sight that extols the beauty of our tradition and brings deep devotion even to the bystander. Thai Poosam is considered an auspicious day in the Siddha tradition chosen by advance Siddhas to leave the bhuloka (realm of Mother Earth) for a divine gathi (beyond life on Earth).
There is not much known about the history of Siddhar Kamalamuni. Siddhar Kamalamuni and Siddhar Kalanginathar are considered as one and the same. Siddhar Kalanginathar is the venerated guru of Siddha Boganathar. Siddha Kalanginathar is also referred to as the Kanja Malai Siddhar. Kanja Malai is a series of hillocks near the city of Salem in Tamil Nadu. We had the good fortune of having darshan at the ancient temple of Lord Shiva and Parvati at the foothills of Kanjamalai. There Lord Shiva is in the form of Siddheshwarar (Lord of Siddhas). Kanjamalai Subramanya temple is on an adjacent hill nearby. Siddha Kalanginathar is referred by Siddha Bogar in his works as “Maamuni” (the Great Sage) and “Kamalamuni”(the Lotus Sage). Kamalamuni Siddhar is said to have attained samadhi in the Tiruvarur temple. His peetam is found near the Amman shrine.
