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.
Anything that is secret and mysterious in these systems of yoga should be at once rejected. The best guide in life is strength. In religion, as in all other matters, discard everything that weakens you, have nothing to do with it.
-Swami Vivekananda
