A Tamil classic on the great Saiva saints of South India (Nayanmars), it is the tale of the sixty-three servants of Lord Siva. The trials they cheerfully undergo are breathtaking and to read their stories is to feel the touch of blessedness.
Nature grinds all of us. Keep count of the ounce of pleasure you get. In the long run, nature did her work through you, and when you die your body will make other plants grow. Yet we think all the time that we are getting pleasure ourselves. Thus the wheel goes round.
-Swami Vivekananda
