Fundamental Principles of Siddha The universe consists of two
essential entities, matter and energy. The Siddhas call them
Siva (male) and Shakti (female, creation). Matter cannot exist
without energy inherent in it and vice versa. The two co-exist
and are inseparable. They are the primordial elements Bhutas,
not to be confused with modern chemistry. Their names are Earth,
water , fire , air and ether. These five elements are present in
every substance, but in different proportions. Earth, water ,
fire , air and ether are manifestations of these 5 elements .
The human being is made up of these five elements, in different
combinations. The physiological function in the body is mediated
by three substances (dravayas), which are made up of the five
elements. They are Vatham, Pitham, and Kapam.In each and every
cell of the body these three doshas co-exist and function
harmoniously. The tissues are called dhatus. Vatham is formed by
Akasa and Vayu.Vatham controls the nervous actions such as
movement, sensation ,et
