Boganathar is the direct disciple of Kalangi Nath. Kalangi Nath  is associated with South India and later migrated and lived in China  and spread the knowledge of yoga to the Chinese people.

 Boganathar installed a Thandayutha pani idle made of nine herbs (nava-pasanam) at the famous place “Palani” in South India. Thousands of pilgrims visit Palani andavar (Murugan) every year to receive Blessings. Milk abisekam is done to the idle here, so the milk will desolve a minute amount of these nine-herbs and when people took this as prasadam it had healing effect. (like homeopathy-medicine). There is also a shrine dedicated to Bogar next to this Palani andavar temple, where thousands of people pay homage.

A Yantra associated with Bogar, installed in Palani, south India, Siddha Boganathar is credited with inscribing a mystical Yantra geometric design (see picture), etched into a metallic plate and installed it at the sanctum sanatorium of Palani.

A similar Yantra also installed by Bogar at Kathir-kamam Pertaining to the present cycle of the four yuga, namely Satya, Treta, Dwapara and Kali, confirms Bhogar’s association with Kathirkamam in Srilanka. Kathir Kamam is referred to as the 7^th most important shrine of lord Murugan as Kumaraswamy. (Kumaraswamy means eternally youthful Lord Muruga). Other six shrines dedicated to lord Murugan are in South India. Thiruththani, Swamimalai, Alagarmalai, Thirupparamkuntram, Palani, and Thiruchchndur. Famously known as “Aarupadai-veedugal”. Six houses of Lord Muruga.

Boganathar belongs to the group of Nath sadus or holy sages. Sivanath, Kalangi Nath, Macchindra Nath, Kalangi-Nath, etc..etc.. Their names end with Nath. Boganathar also one of the Tamil 18-siddas. Boganathar is the direct disciples of Kalangi Nath. Kalangi Nath (a direct disciple of Siddhar Thirumoolar) is associated with  Kanja 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.

 Kalangi Nathar decided to go into Samadhi for a very long time (about 5000-years), and  called Bogar to come to China to continue with his mission.  Bogar visited China about 500 BC and continued his guru kalangi nath’s mission in China. People in China didn’t follow him as much as he had liked, because of his skin colour and limitations of the Language.

 To overcome these limitations, Bhogar transmigrated his vital body into the physical body of a dead Chinese man and  known thereafter by the name of “Bo-Yang”. After entering into this Chinese body Bogar had to cure all illness of this body. Bogar used herbal medicine (Siddha-medicine) and used many herbs to heal this Chinese body of many diseases  and made it a perfect one. Bhogar used Kaya-Kalpa. Kayam means physical body, and kalpam means to make it strong.

 Later Bogar was known by the name of “Bo-Yang  Lao-Tzu”, and became the founder of the great world- renowned philosophy of  Taoism (“Than-“Om”) and preaching it in China for about 200 years.

 

 

 His favourite disciple was Pulippani, a china man. Once there was no rain in Palani (South-India) and the famous Thamara-Parani (means rich in copper) river dried up. A bad drought in Palani. People of Palani started to create many Yagam (fire ceremony) to bring back Bogar to Palani. these yagams were dedicated to Bogar……………..As told by yogi Ramaiah, my guru and direct disciple of Babaji.
