| description | A society is a group of people living together as a social unit. The culture followed by the people in this society for a long time becomes its tradition. Culture refers to the overall lifestyle of a particular society. All age-old cultural practices that are universally accepted can be considered common to the whole world. These practices are based on customs, beliefs, and traditions. Whether an individual likes it or not, everything passed down from generation to generation becomes the heritage of that society. While every ethnic group in the world has its traditions, the Tamils have a unique cultural heritage. The ancient Tamils primarily followed the Saiva religion. Hence, the contribution of the Nayanmars to the history of Tamil epic literature is invaluable. These saint-poets not only attained divine realization themselves but also imparted their spiritual insights to fellow devotees and Tamil society. As a result, Tamil people developed a profound devotion to God and began to worship with great reverence. The emergence of the Nayanmars in Tamil Nadu significantly contributed to the growth of Bhakti literature. Periyapuranam is a Bhakti masterpiece that illustrates how the Nayanmars adhered to and preserved cultural traditions throughout different phases of their lives. The devotional hymns they composed provide a clear understanding of their spiritual practices. Thus, this study elucidates how the Nayanmars worshipped Lord Shiva and the miracles done by HIM. |
