He is one among the seven disciples whom thirumoolar transcended his knowledge. The other six being -Indran, Soman, Rudhran, Kanduru,Brahman and kanjamalaiyan. <http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-TZpLukb5Afo/TvrlKNz9tVI/AAAAAAAAAKM/dBaVLvzvjvE/s1600/Kalangi%2BNadhar.bmp> Kalangi Nathar was from Benaras. Kalangi Nathar was an Indian ascetic who had gone to China. Kalangi Nathar belongs to both Nath tradition of Northern India and also the Siddha tradition of Southern India. Kalangi Nathar is associated with Kaanja Malai in South India and later migrated and lived in China and spread the knowledge of yoga and Varma-Kalai (acupuncture) to the Chinese people. *He was also referred to the great confucious of china who was the back bone of the Chinese Civilisation.* In China he is called Confucius. Kalangi Nathar decided to go into Samadhi for a very long time (for about 5000-years), and called Bogar to come to China to continue his mission. According to Chinese tradition, Laozi lived in the 6th century BC, however many historians contend that Laozi actually lived in the 4th century BC, which was the period of Hundred Schools of Thought and Warring States Period, whereas Confucius was born in 551 BCE in Lu, a small state in China and died in 479 BCE (as per Chinese sources). This shows that Confucius was elder to Laozi. Bhoganathar who is called Laozi/Lao Tzu in China, was the successor of Kalangi Nathar (Confucius). *His Identity:* He is often referred to us kanjamalai siddhar. The word "kanjam" stands for the following meaning - gold, copper and Iron and malai means hill. It is said that paranthaka chozha who built sri nataraja temple with golden roof, took the gold from this hill. Also the water falls seen in this hill is called "ponni nadhi". *His Greatness:* Bogar used to call him as his father in all his poetic scriptions. Siddhas normally strive very hard for many years to get an indestructible body by taking herbs and special potions. Whereas Kalangi Nathar, proved, that with the 'JYOTI VRUKSHA' one can attain such a body in one single day. He could control wild animals with mantras. A calm person who never exposed himself unnecessarily. His talks had the Vasikara Sakti (Power of enslaving). With his blessing one can become a great orator. *As a Guru to Bogar:* Kalangi Nathar and bogar were considered to possess an ideal master and student relationship. It is said that they had a mutual care among both of them in their own spiritual progresses. Kalangi nathar, especially took more care and strain towards the spiritual advancement of his disciple bogar. Kalangi nathar was behind bogar's every development and his innovations for the world. *Birth Details:* Kamalamuni was born on the Tamil month of Vaikasi (May - June), his birth star being 2nd part of Poosam. The siddhar named Kamalamuni belongs to Kuravar caste. He lived for six-eight generations. Sri Kalangi Nadhar belongs to Kannar caste. Many people believe that Sri Kalangi Nathar is siddhar Kamalamuni. In the 63 rd song of " Kamalamuni Suthiram 76 ", a line says that " Kamalamuni alias Kalangi ". Hence it can me true that Sri Kalangi Nathar is siddhar Kamalamuni himself. *Final Yatra:* The shrine of Kalangi Nathar is found in a small village in Salem, Tamil Nadu. This village is 12 km away from salem city. This place is in via route to Ilampillai. He is supposed to have been attained jeeva samadhi in this place several hundred years ago *Serene Depth- Wholeness* Wholeness We could be in a room filled with all our loved ones and feel lonely or away in the forest or dessert by ourselves and feel whole, complete and blissful- not needing anything from outside to fill us. This is what enlightenment is all about and to even taste it in a small measure enables us to seek this 'wholeness' that is within us. This painting is about the joy and happiness of being One and enjoying each breath, the nature around us and the sustaining powers that enable us to enjoy the wholeness of ourselves even further. All enlightened beings have this massive aura of peace, harmony and profound stillness and when with nature, all the living, from humans to bees calm down and become serene to absorb these overflowing waves of divine essence. The sages prefer to be away from the glare of fame, attachment, ego and negative vibrations. This Sage basks in His Oneness with nature and each word of His is the bell of wisdom breaking the loud silence of his void blissful thought. To find the destined Master, the search must begin and to find Him, we climb into our depth and within this solitude must seek. Finding Him, He is always there within us in fullness within our meditative depth! Siddhar Kalanginathar, whom the painting depicts, is in samadhi as Sri Kalahasthi. his name means- The One who wears time as his clothes.

He lived for six-eight generations. Song 5841: Kamalamuni is 4000 years and some 300 odd (days) old. He lived in China for a long time. However, siddhar Karuvoorar in his book " *Vadha Kaviyam *" (Song 584) says "Maamuni" belongs to " *Kannar *" caste. He does not explicitly say "Kamalamuni", but mentions "Maamuni". The author of this article does not understand whether Karuvoorar refers to Kamalamuni or not. Sri Kalangi Nadhar belongs to Kannar caste. Many people believe that Sri Kalangi Nathar is siddhar Kamalamuni. In the 63 rd song of " *Kamalamuni Suthiram 76 *", a line says that " *Kamalamuni alias Kalangi *".

I t is belived that siddhar Kamalamuni attained samadhi at Thiruvavur. *Name* *Place of Samathi* *Life Duration* *Guru* *Disciples**Contributions*KamalamuniAarur (Tiruvarum)4000 Years, 48 daysBhogar KaruvoorarKudambai AlukkaniTwo known works in Medicine & Philosophy Kamalamuni is one of the 18 yoga siddhas.
