Rishis Siddhas A Comparison

Some Rishis have been advisers to Kings, like Vasishta, no Siddha is associated as an adviser to King.

All Siddhas have been Rishis while not all Rishis were Siddhas.

The Yoga system by the Siddhas is slightly different from the one By Patanjali in Sanskrit, though Patanjali is from South and a Siddha.

Siddhas have developed alternate system of medicine based on hers found in the South, the Rishis , based on the herbs found in the North.

Why No Shiva Gotra Among Brahmins

In comparison between Rama and Krishna. while Rama was aware of Himself as Brahman occasionally, Krishna was all the time aware of it and He, like Shiva did not need to Realize Himself.

And Krishna's Children were killed and He was left with no progeny, consequent to Gandhari's Curse.

However Shiva Gotra is found among communities other than Brahmins for it had been a practice to denote Shiva as the Father when one is unable to trace the ancestry.
