Siddha system
is the most ancient of all medical systems. The origination of this
civilization dates back to 12000 years before christ. Tamil language is
said to be the most ancient language as per the research work done in
manuscripts. The other south-indian languages like Malayalam, Telugu,
Kannada are derived from Tamil language only. The Tamil Nadu which
existed several millions of years ago was a vast continent called
Lemuria or Kumari kandam.
The History reveals that this vast land was eroded and submerged into
the sea 15000 years ago. As a result the Tamil Nadu which exist today is
only a part of that huge continent. According to the books like “History of creation” and “Pre degree of man”
written by Hackal, the submerged Tamil Land was the the first place
occupied by mankind who were well civilized. Tamil Nadu is considered as
the home of Siddhars from where this premordial civilization and
medical system evolved. This system was pre-vedic and pre-aryan. It is
only between 1200B.C and 700B.C. when Aryan invaded India and
origination of Sanskrit and other north indian languages occured.
The excavations done in Harappa and Mohenjo-daro
also reveals the existence of a civilization and medical system. The
excavatory findings consisted of some siddha medicines and idols of Lord Natarajan
which was worshipped as per Saiva Siddhantam which is a part of this
ancient civilization. Also some vessels which were found from these
places are said to be the ancient apparatus used to prepare Siddha
drugs.
Hence, Siddha system or “Siddham” is the way of life which is the most ancient of all medical systems.
Years passed and this system got
confined in the present Tamil Nadu, in hands of small groups of
Traditional vaidhyars or practitioners. They treated the Royal kings and
even provided kayakarpa treatment. Some traditional practitioners are
teaching this science to their children but they have kept it confined
within their families only. The secrets of preparing medicines, mode of
treatment and the precious books as well as the Siddha literatures have
been kept hidden by them. Even today these missing links or hidden
secrets are said to be preserved in such families where this traditional
system is practiced. They can’t be blamed completely for supressing
these secrets. This is because of their fear of disclosing these secrets
that may get misused or it may reach in the wrong hands. Hence, this
medical system never flourished.
But this science was converted into a new form in Sanskrit by the Aryans and named Ayurveda. With independence, the other medical systems extended to each nuke and corner of the country.
At the same time government of Tamil Nadu started Siddha colleges. But the demerit was that all these were in Tamil medium. Recently government of kerala took initiative to establish an English medium Siddha college. Four batches have already successfully passed out.
