Yogini / யோகினி

Siddham is the mind. The Siddhas are those who subdue the  wandering mind and focus on God. Among them are 18  Siddhars like Thirumoolar, Agathiyar, Ramadeva Siddhar, Idaikadar, Dhanvantari, Valmiki, Kamalamuni, Pokar, Machchamuni, Konkanar, Patanjali, Nandi Thevar, Bodhakuru, Pambatti Siddhar, Chattaimuni, Sundaranandar, Kudambaichidhar, Korakkar. Apart from these, more than a hundred men are on the list of other Siddhas. Are there any women Siddhas? The question arose in me as to whether women  made any effort to reach the Lord's feet. Very few people like Ovvai, Andal and Karaikal Ammaiyar come to our minds as women with unwavering devotion to the Lord. In an attempt to get to know those who lived at recent times or  a few hundred years ago, I have compiled here what I have read, heard and learned. Glad to share with you what  I had learnt in my spiritual quest. Sarvam Sivarpanam!
