		The name of the Church is from the Sanskrit language and could be roughly rendered in English as "The Church of God Śiva's Revealed Truth."

		Looking back and gleaning forward from this 25th year, the Church's foremost mission could be capsulated as perpetuating the science of temple worship and its fruits of culture and knowledge, preserving and bringing forward into contemporary understanding Saivism's most treasured scriptures, and disseminating the enlightened teachings of the inimitable Sat Gurus.
		Saiva Siddhanta Church is doing today what it did in its founding years, only more of it, and more profoundly Saivite.
		Temple worship is fundamental to the Saivite religion, and a keynote in the history of the Church.

	Shaiva Siddhanta - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Tirumular’s Suddha Shaiva Siddhanta shares common distant roots with Mahasiddhayogi Gorakshanatha’s Siddha Siddhanta in that both are Natha teaching lineages.
		The Tirumantiram unfolds the way of Siddhanta as a progressive, four-fold path of charya, virtuous and moral living; kriya, temple worship; and yoga—internalized worship and union with Parā Shiva through the grace of the living satguru—which leads to the state of jñana and liberation.
		Shaiva Siddhanta was readily accepted wherever it spread in India and continued to blossom until the Islamic invasions, which virtually annihilated all traces of Siddhanta from North and Central India, limiting its open practice to the southern areas of the subcontinent.

	The Hindu : Exposition of Saiva Siddhanta
		Thus, Siva is Sat-cit-ananda; Saiva Siddhanta rejects Sankara's differentiation between a lower Brahman with attributes and a higher Brahman without attributes holding that the transcendent and immanent are two necessary sides of one Godhead.
		This is the assertion of Siddhanta by claiming Advaita relation as opposed to the identity theory of Vedanta.
		Saiva Siddhanta, he concludes, is a natural philosophy transposing all religious categories into metaphysical relationships.
