To all the loves of dharma who wish to do parayana and svadhaya of Sri Siddhnatha sikhamani: Incessant auspicious blessings of Sri Jagadguru pancacaryas.

Sri Sivayogi Sivacarya who was a scholar in Veda and agamas and was a sovereign among the yogins, has presented to the world the Sivadvaita Siddhanta, which was in the form of a dialogue between Sri Jagadguru Renukacarya and Sage Agastya.

The twenty eight sivagamas from Kamika to vatula are called siddhanthagramas. In the letter parts of these Agamas, Virasaiva-Sidddhanta has been propounded. Keeping that as the basis, Sri Sivayogi Sivacarya composed this work and named it as Sri Siddhanta Sikhamani.

Since the sivadvaita-siddhanta which ws taught by lord siva to sivaganas has been propounded in this work, this has been in the form of Prasada of Lord Siva. Accordingly this has been a prasadika text. Hence those who worship with devotion and do parayana of this test would attain both Bhoga and Moksa. This is told in Phalasruti by Sri Sivayogi Sivacarya at the end of the Text. HenceEvery body should do parayana and become blessed by attaining it Phalasruti.

All though Sri Siddhanta sikhamani is a Great Dharma-grantha of the virasaivas, yet it is a text on Manava-dharma because the salutary path of Dharma is laid by it to the entire humanity. Hence, Great mission of propagating the teaching about the practice of dharma, moral code, Sivayoga and tatavjnana contained in it to the entire humanity. In the same way, saivabharati sodha pratisthana got its translations don into many languages of India and other countries of the world by the respective language scholars who are also wel-versed in the samskrta also; these translations along with original text are meant to be placed in the hands of the persons of different languages. For this purpose, a modern touch has been give to this ancient Dharma-text.
