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.
The animal has its happiness in the senses, the human beings in their intellect, and the gods in spiritual contemplation. It is only to the soul that has attained to this contemplative state that the world really becomes beautiful.
-Swami Vivekananda
