liselina Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 I am curious to know what does the name Siddhara mean? Is it traditionally name for males and/or females? I believe there was a prince with such a name and there is a place so named. Is there also a definition, is it a word? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avinash Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 I think you mean Siddhartha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liselina Posted June 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 No thank you, I do mean Siddhara. Tha place Siddhara Betta, (also known as Nijagalu Betta), or Siddhara Basadi/Basti, is named such because siddha's were believed to have meditated on it's slopes. I have heard of Siddhara Gavi, Saint's cave. The Prince Siddhartha Gautama, refers to the Buddha prior to enlightenment. Why can I find both Siddhartha and Siddhara Gautama referring to the same master. Is it simply a different spelling in translation? Tha name Siddhara seems to be equally used for boys and girls. It appears to be associated with Siddha's and the Buddha. However I still wonder about a definition if there is one. Still curious, liselina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
