Lord Siva whom these Saiva-Siddhantins worshipped is not a sectarian deity but the Supreme Creator, preserver and destroyer of the universe, who comes in human form from time to time and 'plays' with these servitors when their devotion gets incandescent..\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese Nayanmars are of both the sexes and of all ages, and range from tribal hunters to emperors of vast domains.  Caste and community, wealth and status do not count with them, even as they do not with the Lord.  The trials and tribulations they cheerfully undergo and the incredible sacrifices they make for the Lord's sake take our breath away.  To peruse their stories is to inhale the air of sanctity and blessedness..\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTHE TRANSLATOR:.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eG Vanmikanthan, who has rendered the highlights of the original epic from Tamil into English with a racy running commentary, is an experienced litterateur who has a number of devotional works to his credit.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The India Club","offers":[{"title":"Sekkizhaar \/ Sri Ramakrishna Math \/ Hardcover","offer_id":68153769329008,"sku":"2873","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1041\/5203\/9792\/files\/2784.jpg?v=1793913850","url":"https:\/\/marketcalvexa.shop\/products\/periya-puranam-a-tamil-devotional-classic","provider":"Alderstone House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
