Dedicated to the Holy feet of my Beloved GuruDevas
This union with the guru, O Kabir, Sets me free; like salt mingled With flour, I am no more I! Now I have no caste, no creed, I am no more what I am! O dear brother! By what name would you call me? - Kabir

Sri La Sri Olakkur Siddhar

         Sri La Sri 'Olakkur Veera Naraayana Perumaal' Siddhar
In the summer of 2005, when returning from Chennai one of my Siddha Gurus, "Sri RajaSwamy Siddhar" saw a divine person with long matted hair standing in the scorching sun. From that day, it become a habit of feeding the Siddhar whenever my Guru traveled along that way.

Sometimes the Siddha will be seen standing near a lake whose sight was so much powerful to handle. when food is given, HE will either eat or throw as per HIS wish.Then he changed the place of his dwelling.

After few days my guru got an information that HE is staying in a place called Olakkur. He started searching him praying within himself and by HIS grace he found the Siddha under a Tamrind tree.By paying some bucks to a Hotel owner near by, my Guru asked to feed the Siddha everyday. Then again the Siddha changed the place near a furniture shop under a Tamrind tree again. This time my guru asked the furniture owner Mr.Venkatesh to feed him to which he agreed wholeheartedly. He then presented Mr.Venkatesh a mobile phone to stay informed about the siddhar always.

Mr.Bala who was running a weighbridge nearby helped in feeding the Siddha for 3 continuous years, after which the Siddha asked him to go to Chidambaram in a dream to which he agreed. 

Once my GuruJi had a dream where he saw a guy hitting the siddha in his motorcycle. Within few days a drunkard on his way hit the Siddha in his motor cycle. With the help of Olakkur Ravikumar GuruJi admitted HIM in Vizhuppuram hospital and he paved a small hut for him to stay near the Highways road, where he stayed till his last days.


After receiving HIS blessings my Guru once traveled to Singapore where in his dream the Siddha warned him that the agricultural work in Kolli Hills ashram was not going well. At that time our Kolli hills ashram had agricultural work going on. GuruJi immediately returned to ashram and found that what HE said in the dream was True.
The siddha was not easily approachable as he does not encouraged crowd around him. He will not speak or reply to anyone's queries too. Only who are true in their heart will be able to approach him and HE too bless them  in a way which they only knew.

Since the Siddha is always in a trance he avoided crowd and gatherings around him. After Mr.Venkatesh left to Chidambaram, GuruJi found a person called Ezhumalai, a owner of small road side hotel to take care of the Siddha. Ezhumalai and his wife took care of the Siddha very well and fed HIM thrice a day. 
With the growing number of devotees and strangers on the way, more people started visiting the siddha which become a hindrance in HIS meditation.HE was always found in a deep trance state of meditation with no knowledge of his body. Sometimes the only loin cloth which he was wearing will be found lying under HIS feet as if it too wished to receive HIS Blessings. So he generally avoided people nearing him including Mr.Ezhumalai and he beat him too with an umbrella once.

Myself and GuruJi have seen so many times that the ants around the hut eating HIS wounded foot (the wound HE got by the accident) , but he showed no resistance to them. When we tried to clear off the ants He did not even allowed it as it may hurt or kill those little beings. Such is HIS universal Grace.

My GuruJi "Siddhar Rajakumar" conducts Chitra pournami (Full moon) pooja and AnnaDhaanam in the ThiruKurungudi Thirumalai Nambi hills for the past 30 years. In 2010 too he was there in the Nambi hills  at that time, when he got a news from a small boy who went to feed the Siddha. The boy informed  that the Siddha was not responding and HE was lying on the ground.Getting this information GuruJi immediately ordered the boy to re-visit the Siddha's hut with few elderly people only to found that he attained Maha  Samadhi (The act of consciously and intentionally leaving one's body at the time of enlightenment.)

Hearing this news, the members who were taking care of the Siddha, MR.Ravikumar, Mr.Ezhumalai, Mr.Palanivel and our Singapore devotee Mr.Rathinavel, (Director Tech-media Singapore) who was on his way to Nambi hills came to Olakkur to have alast darshan of  the Siddha Purusha. The Holy Yagna powder and herbals were brought from GuruJi's ashram ( Situated at the foothills of Holy Brahamarishi Hills)
and the Siddha was kept in Samaadhi (by building a Small Shrine with a Linga on top) on Chitra Pornami day evening exactly the same time when GuruJi was doing the 210 Maha Siddhargal Yagna at Nambi Hills. Approximately a thousand people gathered there to receive the divine blessings of the Siddha.

Few days before this event, Srilankan Siddhar Sri PunniyaRathinam visited our Ashram which is situated in the foothills of Holy BrahmaRishi hills.There Sri PunniyaRathinam Siddhars' wife saw a bright green light glowing from behind the hilltop and passed in to the galaxy. It is on this day the Siddha left his body. (It feels to me personally that as if he exited from his bodily shrine and become ONE with the universe or the CREATOR)

Few months before HIS Samadhi,  in my GuruJi's dream he showed two trees in a place called "Nallaathur" by adding that He wants to go there and Stay. My Guru wanted to take the siddha to the place as per HIS wish but no one knew where the place is. It is on the day of  HIS MahaSamadhi where he was put in a Samadhi state (Just few hundred meters away from HIS hut where he stayed) we came to knew that place is also called as "Nallathur". My GuruJi was so touched and Surprised by the Siddha's prophecy and his
Love and Grace)
In one of the earlier visits My Guruji asked his name because no one knew what it was.The Siddha who was eating that time handed over the paper (which had the eatables) where it was written as "Veera Naaraya Perumal".
By God's grace if anyone of us is blessed to have a darshan of the Siddhas or the holy men, try to feed them and take care of them without disturbing them). Because feeding them with utmost devotion will bring you all prosperity, well-being and divine blessings as it is considered to be the greatest dharma
Chant "AUM JAI GURUVAE THUNAI" by thinking of the holy Siddhars and your place of dwelling will become as resplendent as the Lord of Seven hills.
