| Journal Description : | Tamil culture is very ancient. This is evidenced by the fact that over the years its
impact has spread around the world. Temples play an important role in Tamil culture. Its
antiquity, statues, architectural techniques, yoga and spiritual philosophies are not only
surprising but also portraying the intelligence of the ancients and supernatural powers. The
Tamil Siddhars have created, evinced and clarified the doctrine of temples. The temples are
built as the signifier, the signified, and the outward appearance of body, mind and soul. The
Cheras, Cholas and Pandyas (triumvirs), the Tamil kings, built thousands of temples and
made great penances to the Gods for goodwill. There are millions of Shaiva and Vaishnava
temples in Tamil Nadu and uncountable temples all over India. Hinduism is one of the oldest
religions in the world. There are countless subsections in it. All the temples, from the great
temples to the small temples, have a different central theme of spiritual doctrine and
philosophy that is merged with life. Temples are considered as energy centers, chakras, and
the replica of the human body itself. The purpose of this peer-reviewed journal is to explore
the origins, design, worship, spiritual philosophy, doctrines of the temples, architecture,
temple work of the Tamils, charity, music and musical instruments, folk music, temple folk,
the spiritual hymns of the sect, Tamil Bhakthi literature, Bhakthi literature in general to
Hindu religion from any language of India and Abroad and universal temple art. It gives more
chances and acts as a pioneer to the academicians, research scholars and freelancers who
focus on the Bhakthi heritage, tradition and literature from Literatures of various Indian
languages. |
