Siddha n Siddhi
Siddhas are those who have mastered 8 types of siddhi.They can take any form or produce anything by will,travel anywhere by sheer will.Lord Ganesh is known as Siddhivinayak. Any genuine siddhas or perfected ones know the original form of Lord Shiv.Thiruerumbur is the best place to witness it. There Lord Shiv takes the form as Shivling & other siddhas take the form of ants to crawl at his feet. So it is the custom to keep jaggery as naivedya(food).Circumbulation is done not by walking on two feet, but crawling on knees.The practice helps in melting the ego within the seeker.
