1. Three Aspects of the Absolute                                                             

According to the Naths, an order of yogis associated with the practice of hatha yoga, creation begins with the limitless and eternal Absolute, a transcendent essence that permeates the universe. This painting, read from left to right, represents the origins of existence as a shimmering field of gold. Its successive emanations into consciousness (center) and form (right) are represented as perfected Nath yogis, covered in ash and saffron. Through yogic practice, Naths sought to transform their physical bodies into subtle matter and merge with the luminous Absolute.

Many yoga traditions define enlightenment as the recognition that the self and the limitless Absolute are one and the same, although they appear different. This essential sameness allows a yoga practitioner to progressively transform his or her physical body, known as the “gross” body, into subtle matter.

2. Transmission of Teachings from the Gods

These images of perfected practitioners (siddhas) from Stories of the Naths represent a transcendent lineage of yoga. The practitioners are depicted as teachers in a chain of authoritative revelation; several touch forefingers to thumbs in a gesture of imparting knowledge. Hovering in a subtle realm on a silvery universal sea, they are, from left to right, progressively more material emanations of the Absolute. The Absolute is represented on the manuscript’s first page as an empty space, also on view in this gallery.

Stoicism and Buddhism: A Comparative Analysis

Attraction to those close to you catches you in its currents; Aversion to those who oppose you burns inside; Indifference that ignores what needs to be done is a black hole. Leave your homeland — this is the practice of a Bodhisattva.

Cato hated excess. He hated finery. He hated luxury. He thought to indulge such things was weakness and stupidity. And so what did Cato think of his brother who was far less strict about these things? He loved him. In fact, he worshiped him.

It’s important to remember: The Stoic has strict standards. We have strong opinions on what’s right and what isn’t. But…and this is a big but…we have to be understanding and forgiving of those who have been, as Marcus Aurelius writes, cut off from truth.

Stoicism and Buddhism are two ancient philosophical nd spiritual traditions that have captivated the minds of countless individuals over centuries. While they have distinct cultural origins and historical backgrounds, a closer examination reveals intriguing similarities and differences in their core principles and approaches to life. In this essay, we will explore these two philosophies and shed light on their fundamental ideas, ultimately highlighting the common ground and disparities that define them.

**Stoicism:**

Stoicism, originating in ancient Greece, is a philosophy founded by Zeno of Citium around 300 BCE. It places a significant emphasis on rationality and virtue as the means to attain a tranquil and content life. Several fundamental tenets characterize Stoicism:

1. **Virtue as the Highest Good:** Stoics believe that the highest good is living in accordance with virtue. The four cardinal virtues of wisdom, courage, justice, and temperance are essential in guiding human actions.

2. **Acceptance of What Is Beyond Control:** A core Stoic teaching is the acceptance of things that are beyond one's control. Stoics argue that inner peace is achieved by recognizing and accepting that external events are beyond one's power, while one can control their own thoughts and actions.

3. **Emotional Resilience:** Stoics advocate for emotional resilience through reason and self-discipline. They view destructive emotions, such as anger and fear, as hindrances to a tranquil life and emphasize the importance of maintaining emotional equilibrium.

4. **Detachment from Material Possessions:** Stoicism encourages individuals to detach themselves from material possessions and not be attached to external outcomes or circumstances.

5. **Compassion and Justice:** While Stoics maintain strict standards and opinions about what is right, they also promote the development of a rational and compassionate attitude towards others, placing a strong emphasis on justice and fairness.

**Buddhism:**

Buddhism, founded by Siddhartha Gautama, the Buddha, in ancient India, is both a spiritual and moral philosophy that aims to address the problem of suffering and guide individuals toward enlightenment and liberation from suffering. Buddhism's key principles include:

1. **The Four Noble Truths:** Central to Buddhism is the recognition of suffering as an inherent aspect of human existence. The Four Noble Truths acknowledge the existence of suffering, identify its cause as attachment and desire, propose the possibility of cessation, and outline the Eightfold Path as the means to achieve liberation from suffering.

2. **Detachment from Desires:** Buddhism places a strong emphasis on detachment from desires and attachments as the primary source of suffering. By letting go of attachment to material possessions and craving, individuals can attain a state of equanimity.

3. **Mindfulness and Meditation:** Buddhism teaches the practice of mindfulness and meditation as essential tools for gaining insight into one's own mind and emotions. These practices help individuals transcend attachment to emotions and desires.

4. **Compassion and Loving-Kindness:** Buddhism promotes compassion (karuna) and loving-kindness (metta) as crucial virtues, encouraging the alleviation of suffering not only in oneself but also in all sentient beings.

5. **Karma and Rebirth:** Buddhism emphasizes the concept of karma, which suggests that one's actions have consequences. While Stoicism focuses on the present moment, Buddhism is concerned with the accumulation of good or bad karma, leading to different states of existence in the cycle of birth and death (samsara).

**Comparative Analysis:**

Both Stoicism and Buddhism share some fundamental principles despite their differing cultural origins. Notable points of comparison include:

1. **Emotional Control:** Both philosophies advocate for control over one's emotions. Stoics aim for emotional resilience through reason and self-discipline, while Buddhism teaches mindfulness and meditation to gain insight into and transcend emotions.

2. **Detachment:** Both philosophies emphasize detachment, whether from material possessions (Stoicism) or desires and attachments (Buddhism) as a means to find inner peace.

3. **Compassion:** While Stoics emphasize rational and compassionate attitudes toward others, Buddhism places significant importance on compassion and loving-kindness as virtues to alleviate suffering.

4. **Acceptance:** Stoicism teaches the acceptance of things beyond one's control, whereas Buddhism extends this idea to include the acceptance of the impermanence of all things.

However, they also differ in key ways:

1. **Virtue vs. Enlightenment:** Stoicism centers on the pursuit of virtue and living in accordance with it, while Buddhism is primarily concerned with attaining enlightenment and liberation from the cycle of suffering.

2. **Karma and Rebirth:** Buddhism incorporates the concepts of karma and rebirth, which Stoicism does not address.

3. **The Role of Desire:** Stoicism acknowledges the importance of controlling desires, while Buddhism posits that desires are the root cause of suffering.

**Conclusion:**

In conclusion, Stoicism and Buddhism are two profound philosophical and spiritual traditions that offer valuable insights into human existence, the pursuit of inner peace, and the cultivation of virtues. While they have distinct philosophical and cultural backgrounds, their shared emphasis on emotional control, detachment, and compassion reveals common threads in their teachings. By understanding and appreciating the principles of both Stoicism and Buddhism, individuals can draw upon a broader range of wisdom to navigate the complexities of life, seeking personal growth, self-awareness, and a path toward a more fulfilling and meaningful existence. These philosophies continue to inspire and guide individuals in their quest for a balanced and harmonious life.

The Siddha Way To Change Your Life

jumping into the topic. Why you should learn or practice Siddha way. Because following Siddha way gives you an opportunity to fulfill your purpose in life. All your questions & confusion are answered in a Siddha way. Meaning, you can find your purpose to be alive within yourself.

Author Note: I'm not selling anything & this article is purely for knowledge purposes.

The Siddha are not bound to any religion, language, or race. So, everyone reading in the world can relate to them. Sithar can be anywhere in the world & they don't have boundaries. Siddha or Sithargal gives you the way to live a happy & satisfying life. Before going deep let us get to know about who Siddhas are.

Who Is Siddha?

Siddhas are a person who achieves enlightenment to the fullest level. In other words, you can relate to them as a person reached God's status. They are in pure bliss in every moment of their life. Sithargal finds God within themself. Meaning, God is inside you & you have to leave your lust and other earthly desire to reach it. You have to do Yoga & meditation to find God within yourself. 

Names of Siddha's?

Millions of people have attained Sitthi but very few are known to the world. Here are the names of 18 sithargal who are the base of Siddha way.

Nandi 

Agastyar 

Thirumular

Punakkisar

Pulathiar

 Poonaikannar 

Idaikkadarர்

Bogar

Pulikkaisar 

Karuvoorar 

Konganavar

Kalangi

Azhukanni

Agappaiyar

Pampatti siddhar

Theraiyar

Kuthambai

Sattaimuni

Note: These saints have written a lot of wonderful literature on various topics which includes horoscopes, chemistry, physics, lifestyle and so on. You can read books written by them to enlighten yourself.

How Can You Meet A Real Sithargal?

Most of the people claiming saints or siddha are fake & try to fool you. You can meet people who are trying to be Siddhar or somewhat knowledgeable. But not real Siddhars. They are at a higher level of life that we can't understand. Once we reached a certain level of spirituality. We may get a chance to meet them. You can also pray to them to guide you to improve your spiritual life.

What are the powers they Posses?

Generally, Astam Siddhi or 8 powers are attained by siddhars to help not only humans but all nature.

Anima: Minimizing one's body size to the size of an atom or even smaller.

Mahima: Expanding one's body to an infinitely large size. 

Garima: Increasing the body weight so that they become immovable.

Laghima: Decreasing the body weight to an extended limit (help them to fly)

Prapti: Ability to realize what they desire like bringing an apple in the hand in a moment.

Prakamyam: Ability to adapt to their circumstances like living underwater, moving from one place to another in a blink & increasing life span.

Ishitvam: Ability to influence all natural forces like earth, water, fire sky & air.

Vashitvam: Ability to control any living things. This power is mostly used for medical purposes.

How To Identify a Sithar?

"செய்யதெங்கி லேயிளநீர் சேர்ந்தகார ணங்கள்போல்

ஐயன்வந்து என்னுளம் புகுந்துகோயில் கொண்டனன்

ஐயன்வந்து என்னுளம் புகுந்துகோயில் கொண்டபின்

வையகத்தில் மாந்தர்முன்னம் வாய்திறப்ப தில்லையே."

Famous sitthar Sivavakiayar explained in Tamil that "After god comes inside me & I don't interact with humans".

Sitthars are the ones who mostly don't interact with humans until they reached a certain level of spirituality.

There is nothing in the world that we can offer like money, food or other earthly matter to Siddhars. So, they don't ask anything from us.

They don't preach you anything, because they know you have to dig within you to find your answers. They left us scripts to guide us to reach enlightenment.

How To Change Life Towards Siddha Way?

Life is full of mystery, whatever you think is right is wrong one day. Because you are changing every moment of your life. As Siddha said, 'God is inside you & you can find him through meditation.' Some best practices are. 

Meditating daily.

Yoga.

Breathing exercises.

Open to helping others (all living things).

Donations (like food, clothes, water & other things).

Try to be kind.

Treat everyone equally.

love yourself & nature.

Try to spend some of your time alone.

Conclusion:

I believe this article might help you to at least know about Siddhargal. I have given you a tiny bit of information about enlightened people. Stay connected to find more information related to this topic.

I hope this article is useful to you. Please give your feedback in the comment section.

Thank You.

Gli insegnamenti tibetani sulla meditazione – Daniel Goleman

I buddhisti tibetani non meditano solo per se stessi, bensì a beneficio di tutti gli esseri senzienti. Le motivazioni sono, dunque, fondamentali. L’iter meditativo presuppone, innanzitutto, una retta condotta di vita; in secondo luogo è indispensabile esercitarsi in una giusta e regolare concentrazione (ad esempio sul proprio respiro) … aspetto a cui si dedica molta cura e suscettibile di…
