Bogar or Bhogar or Boganathar was a legendary South Indian siddhar (herbal healer) or alchemist.[1] He was said[who?] to have been born into a Vannar family, and to have had miraculous powers. He is also associated with Mahavatar Babaji in some New Age circles. He was considered to be the foremost disciple of Kalanginathar, a siddha who was a disciple to Tirumular.
It is believed that Kalanginathar was the backbone to Bogar's success in his spiritual journey. They both were considered as an epitome for a master disciple relationship. On his master's order he traveled extensively in China to spread his philosophy. He is said to have traveled widely and to have lived for centuries.[2] Bhogar is said to have made the statue of Lord Murugan at Palani by himself using Navabhasanam, made of a combination of rare & extensively medicinal herbs. His jeeva samadhi is also found in the South West corridor at the Palani Murugan temple.
