Hinduism - What Are Vidyadhara Or Vidyadharas In The Hindu Pantheon?

 

Vidyadhara is a Sanskrit word that means "wisdom-bearer." 

These are semidivine creatures who are Earthly rather than celestial.

The Vidyadharas are said to reside in the Himalayas, and are so often connected with the deity Shiva, whose residence is also considered to be there.

Vidyadharas are typically kind to people and are commonly linked with providing knowledge to those they care about (as their name says).

Have a belief that is based upon Eternity

The Robert Cochrane Letters: An Insight into Modern Traditional Witchcraft 

“A driving thirst for knowledge is the forerunner of wisdom. Knowledge is a state that all organic life possesses, wisdom is the reward of the spirit, gained in the search for knowledge. Truth is variable – what is true now, will not be true tomorrow, since the temporal truths are dependent upon ethics and social mores – therefore wisdom is possibly eternal Truth, untouched by man’s condition. So we must come to the heart of the People, a belief that is based upon Eternity, and not upon social needs or pressures – the ‘witch’ belief then is concerned with wisdom, our true name, then is the wise people and wisdom is our aim.”
