Tamil Heritage Trust
Dear Friend,
The Saiva and Vaishnava bhakti literature in Tamil form a rich repository of religious, spiritual, cultural and historic knowledge. Written around the fifth to the ninth century CE, these were composed by the Saiva Nayanmars and Vaishnava Azhwars, poet-saints who traveled widely to sacred towns on pilgrimage, singing about their temples. The entire Indian sacred topography is measured by these verses that describe the city, the flora and fauna and the people of the lands the poets visited. These verses were a milestone in the development of Tamil literature and played a significant role in popularizing the language.
Prolific speaker and heritage enthusiast, Madhusudhanan Kalaichelvan introduces these important works and delves into what makes them special, in his Talk on “Tamil Bhakti Literature: An Introduction”.
The online Talk in English is at 5.30 pm IST on Saturday, September 7, 2024.
