Sambandhar explained the philosophical aspect through knowledge, which was showered on him as Shivajnanam by the Lord and His consort when he was barely three years old. Expression of Tamil culture The philosophical content of the hymns is unique being an expression of Tamil spiritual culture. They are either melodious outbursts in moments of supreme rapture or they are a quiet prayer of love. All the Thevarams are treasures of wisdom and knowledge and are the culminating experiences in the expression of the poet-saint’s devotion, love and thankfulness to God. The first Thevara hymn in the compilation of the hymns of Appar, Sambandhar and Sundarar is “Thodudaiya Seviyan.” of Sambandhar. Nambiandar Nambi compiled them as the Tirumurais, the Shaiva Anthology of Hymns. A Shaiva anthology The palm leaf manuscripts were thus retrieved.
It was opened and a heap of palm leaf manuscripts were found in a mound attacked by white ants. The king organised a festival where the bronze figures of the poet saints were brought and requested that the door be opened. On reaching there, they found that the room was locked and that it could be opened only in the presence of the authors of the hymns. Pillaiyar revealed that the manuscripts were locked in a room in the Chidambaram temple. When Chola emperor Rajarajan realised that most of the Thevara pathikams were lost, he approached Nambiandar Nambi, a young boy who had the blessings of Pollaappillaiyar of Tirunaaraiyoor to help find these manuscripts. These are acknowledged as one of the more sacrosanct and sacred scriptures of the Shaivaites. I will start with my the same post I did on my fb wall.Devotional hymns of Shaiva saints Appar, Sambandhar and Sundarar of the medieval age, are the Thevarams sung in a combined stream of song and music. So, my plan is to continue writing about my favourite songs in my blog rather than in my FB wall.
I really enjoyed writing them and also enjoyed the comments and likes I received :-)
I started posting small write-ups about my favourite songs. Lyrics is very important factor for me to like a song and fall in love with it. and all other musicians.I just love all good songs.also I appreciate the lyrical value of these songs. Most of my family and my close friends may already know.I love music.esp Tamil cine songs.esp the ones that are of Ilayaraja's music.I Love ARR.
It is often because I will find something to write about.but them immediately i will start wondering if that topic is sensitive.will it instigate any debates.(not that i don't like debates).then after sitting on that topic for couple of weeks with so much doubt.i will eventually give up.īut recently, i found something.about myself.
