Preface: Tirth Yatras or pilgrimages have been an integral part of Hinduism. Pilgrimages are considered quite important by the ritualistic followers of Sanathana dharma. There are a few centers of sacredness, which are held at high esteem by the ardent devotees who dream to travel and worship God in these holy places. All these holy sites have some mythological significance attached to them. When people go to a temple, they say they go for Darsan – of the image of the presiding deity. The pinnacle act of Hindu worship is to stand in the presence of the deity and to look upon the image so as to see and be seen by the deity and to gain the blessings. There are thousands of Siva sthalams- pilgrimage sites - renowned for their divine images. And it is for the Darsan of these divine images as well the pilgrimage places themselves - which are believed to be the natural places where Gods have dwelled - the pilgrimage is made.

INTRODUCTION One of the Greatest Movements of the World, the Saiva Bhakti Movement, Took Place in Tamil Nadu Between the 7Th and the 10Th Century
Language in India 18:11 November 2018 2 Singing with Saivite Saints INTRODUCTION One of the greatest movements of the world, the Saiva Bhakti movement, took place in Tamil Nadu between the 7th and the 10th century. It was at that time that saints composed hymns, set to music, which form the canonical literature of Saivism and were collectively named Tirumurai. The corpus of the devotional literature is called, Panniru Tirumurai which is a twelve-book compendium of writings of Saivite saints. It consists as the name reveals twelve major works, which are as the Stotra, Hymns in praise of Lord Siva. The word Tirumurai is composed of two words namely, Tiru and Murai. The word Tiru means sacred and auspicious and Murai means scripture. The etymological meaning of the term Tirumurai refers to the scripture which disciplines the soul and paves the way through proper conduct for the ultimate union of the individual soul with Siva. thThe spiritual outpouring of Tiru Gnana Sambandar is divided into three Tirumurais. Appar’s hymns form the next three Tirumurais. Sundarar’s songs are the seventh Tirumurai. These seven books are also called Atankan Murai. The eighth Tirumurai of Manikkavasagar consists of two different works namely, the Tiruvasagam and the Tirukkovaiyar. The ninth book is a collection of poems called the Tiruvisaippa and Tiruppallandu written by nine saints. Tirumantiram a unique book written by Saint Tirumular, some two thousand years ago, is acknowledged as the tenth Tirumurai. The eleventh Tirumurai is an anthology of devotional poems by twelve saints. The Periya Puranam of Sekkizhar, 11 century narrating the life story of the 63 Saiva Nayanmar saints, is the twelfth Tirumurai.

DR.RUPNATHJI( DR.RUPAK NATH ) Lord Shiva Is the God of Destruction and Is Highly Revered Among the Gods of India
Gods of India form a superhuman and mysterious race of mighty humanoid beings that were prayed to by the ancient Aryan and Vedic tribes of the Mid-East from around 3000 BC till modern times. They were recognized mainly in Hinduism. Hinduism is among the oldest and largest surviving religions in the world. The concept of God in India lies in the fact that God resides in the soul of every individual. The soul can not be separated from the divine God, the soul is immortal and so is God. God is the master of all creation and the destruction as well. He is the only one and many as well. God pervades in everything and everywhere, He is the colossal being and stays in the gigantic things as well as in the smallest particle of the world. Hinduism defines God as the being who is visible and at the same time invisible, He has a form and He is formless as well. Hinduism is the connotation of impersonal origin, and as a Hindu religion is termed as `apauruseya`. The Hindu gods are the eternal deities appearing to be sovereign and different, but in reality are aspects of the same Brahman, the supreme God. Indian Gods are the Hindu deities in a number of incarnations. Hindu religion has several Gods and Goddesses that are worshipped by the inhabitants of India. As per the Hindu belief, the God and Goddesses are living beings of a separate macrocosm. There exists a broader cosmos different from the visible one and the Hindus believe that the Gods are guiding each and every pace of human beings from their own world.

Dance Imagery in South Indian Temples : Study of the 108-Karana Sculptures
DANCE IMAGERY IN SOUTH INDIAN TEMPLES : STUDY OF THE 108-KARANA SCULPTURES DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Bindu S. Shankar, M.A., M. Phil. ***** The Ohio State University 2004 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Susan L. Huntington, Adviser Professor John C. Huntington Professor Howard Crane ----------------------------------------- Adviser History of Art Graduate Program Copyright by Bindu S. Shankar 2004 ABSTRACT This dissertation explores the theme of dance imagery in south Indian temples by focusing on one aspect of dance expression, namely, the 108-karana sculptures. The immense popularity of dance to the south Indian temple is attested by the profusion of dance sculptures, erection of dance pavilions (nrtta mandapas), and employment of dancers (devaradiyar). However, dance sculptures are considered merely decorative addtitions to a temple. This work investigates and interprets the function and meaning of dance imagery to the Tamil temple. Five temples display prominently the collective 108-karana program from the eleventh to around the 17th century. The Rajaraja Temple at Thanjavur (985- 1015 C.E.) displays the 108-karana reliefs in the central shrine. From their central location in the Rajaraja Temple, the 108 karana move to the external precincts, namely the outermost gopura. In the Sarangapani Temple (12-13th century) at Kumbakonam, the 108 karana are located in the external façade of the outer east gopura. The subsequent instances of the 108 karana, the Nataraja Temple at Cidambaram (12th-16th C.E.), the Arunachalesvara Temple at Tiruvannamalai (16th C.E.), and the Vriddhagirisvara Temple at Vriddhachalam (16th-17th C.E.), ii also use this relocation.

Padams on Shiva Padams Are Compositions That Are Performed After the Varnam, and Are in Slower Speeds of Execution
PAPER 5 DANCE, POETS AND POETRY, RELIGIOUS PHILOSOPHY AND INDIAN CLASSICAL DANCE MODULE 9 SHAIVA PHILOSOPHY THROUGH DANCE When someone says the words “Dancing Shiva” a dancer can immediately conjure up a mental image of a yogi with a loincloth made of tiger skin, matted hair dancing feverishly. Thanks to the plethora of literature and poems on Shiva, a dancer can put her hand in a basket of ideas and pick any story to describe the dance of Lord Shiva. Within India, from the Pahari / ऩहारी and Guler / गुऱेर miniature paintings, to the bronze images of the Chola Empire; from the sculpted pillars of Somnath / सोमनाथ to the friezes of Orissa, Shiva has been portrayed in numerous ways dancing. In fact, geography was never a restraint as we find dancing Shiva in the Far East, like Indonesia, Cambodia and Vietnam. Origins of Shiva Dancing Hinduism is probably the only religion where Gods like to dance. However, Shiva and Vishnu (and their various avatars) are more predominant in displaying their prowess in dance and their mastery over it, and rightly so. This is mainly attributed to the Natyasastra and the mythology of how dance came into being. As per legends, Shiva was the progenitor for dance. Being a dancer par excellence, he taught his dance to Tandu, who taught the art form to Bharata and Parvati and she in turn taught this to Usha, daughter of Asura Bana and an ardent devotee of Shiva. She was wedded to the prince 1 of Dwaraka, Aniruddha and thus the art form was transferred to the mortals.
