Description

Composed by three poet-saints between the sixth and eigth centuries A.D., the Tevaram hymns are the primary scripture of Tamil Saivism, one of the first popular large-scale devotional movements within Hinduism. Indira Peterson eloquently renders into English which provide vivid and moving portraits of the images, myths, rites, and adoration of Siva. It is a rich source book for the study of the South Indian popular religion.
