Book excerpt: "நமது பாரத தேசத்தில் எம்பெருமான் ஸ்ரீமன் நாராயணன் அர்ச்சாவதாரமாக எழுந்தருளி தரிசனம் தரும் கோயில்கள் ஏராளமாக இருக்கின்றன. அவைகளுள் பன்னிரு ஆழ்வார்கள் பாடிய நாலாயிரத் திவ்ய பிரபந்தத்தில் இடம்பெற்ற சிறப்புமிக்க வைணவத் திருத்தலங்கள் ‘திவ்ய தேசங்கள்’ எனவும், திவ்ய தேசங்களைப்பற்றிய பாடல்கள் ‘மங்களாசாசனம்’ எனவும் அழைக்கப்படுகின்றன. ஆழ்வார்களால் மங்களாசாசனம் பெற்ற திருத்தலங்கள் 108. இவற்றில் 106 இந்தப் பூவுலகில் உள்ளன. இவற்றில் 82 திவ்யதேசங்கள் தமிழ்நாட்டிலேயே இருக்கின்றன என்பது நமக்கெல்லாம் பெருமை தரும் தகவல். இந்தத் திவ்ய தேசங்கள் எல்லாமே தெய்வீகச் சிறப்பு வாய்ந்தவை; சரித்திரப் புகழ் பெற்றவை. சில கோயில்களின் வரலாற்று மதிப்பை அந்தக் கால சரித்திர நூல்கள் மட்டும் இல்லாமல் சமகாலத்திய இலக்கியங்களும் போற்றுவதைப் பார்க்கலாம். இந்த ஒவ்வொரு திருத்தலத்திலும் பகவான் மகாவிஷ்ணு நிகழ்த்திய லீலைகளும் திருவிளையாடல்களும் கேட்கக் கேட்கத் திகட்டாதவை. மெய்சிலிர்க்க வைப்பவை. இந்த நூலில் 108 திவ்ய தேசங்களின் தெய்வீகச் சிறப்பும் வரலாற்றுச் சிறப்பும் சொல்லப்படுவதுடன், ஒவ்வொரு திவ்யதேசம் அமைந்துள்ள பகுதி, செல்லும் வழிகள், தங்கும் வசதிகள் ஆகியவையும் கொடுக்கப்பட்டுள்ளன. மேலும் புராணத் தகவல்கள், சிறப்புச் செய்திகள் ஆகியவற்றோடு, அந்தத் தலத்துப் பெருமாளைத் தரிசித்தால் பக்தர்கள் பெறும் பயனும் கொடுக்கப்பட்டுள்ளது."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: About the Book : Temples have always played an important role in the lives of Hindus in the country from times immemorial. Apart from providing spiritual solace, temples have also been repositories of art and architecture and been instrumental in community bonding. For the sake of identification and ease of worship, the formless God has been given many iconic forms, in fact thousands of them. A pilgrimage to these temples to worship these icons is a way of life for most Hindus. These iconic forms have been classified into various categories like Shiva, Vishnu, Shakti etc which are spread across the length and breadth of the country. While we have many shrines with history and antiquity behind them, there are many temples which are of recent origin. Temples have always been patronized by the kings and rulers of various regions and also by the general public. Among the more popular iconic forms of God is Lord Vishnu or Narayana who is worshipped at innumerable Srivaishnava temples all over the country. These Srivaishnava temples include the 108 Divya Desams which are shrines worshipped and glorified by the great saints like Azhwars whose hymns have been compiled into the Divyaprabandham. While some of these temples are well known and located in large towns, there are many which are located in remote places and not easily accessible. Interestingly, a vast majority of these shrines are located in South India with a few scattered across North and Western India. Many of these temples are small and do not have enough resources for their upkeep and maintenance. A few philanthropists and others have contributed for the renovation of many of these temples but much more is required to be done. The reason for initiating this series is to give a first-hand account of the author's visits to these shrines in a travelogue format with plenty of pictures so that our youngsters are drawn towards these temples. Once more pilgrims visit these places, the infrastructure there is bound to improve and with increased awareness, the contributions to these temples will also increase to take care of their maintenance. These 108 temples are located in several clusters and accordingly, it is proposed to cover all these temples in this series in 7 volumes. Volume One which was released earlier covered the Divya Desam shrine of Thiru Singavel Kundram at Ahobilam. Volume Two which is being released now covers 21 out of the 40 Divya Desam shrines in Chozha Naadu. It is hoped that this pictorial journey will create an interest amongst travellers to plan to visit the 108 Divya Desam. Chozha Naadu is a region in Tamil Nadu comprising several districts in the Kaveri river delta. It is bounded in the north by Thondai Naadu and in the south by Pandya Naadu. There are 40 Divyadesams in Chozha Naadu which can be accessed from the towns of Trichy, Kumbakonam, Thanjavur, Nagapattinam, Mayiladuthurai, Sirkazhi and Chidambaram. This volume covers 21 out of the 40 Divya Desams in Chozha Naadu while the remaining shrines will be covered in the next volume. We start with the Divya Desam shrines in Trichy and then move on to the temples in Thanjavur, Kumbakonam and Nagapattinam. All these shrines are easily approachable by road. As we travel from one temple to the next, the pictures taken at each temple along with the accompanying text will leave you with memories that can only be equalled by taking time out to go and visit each one of them. About the Author : The author, Jagadeesan Krishnan, an intrepid traveller and heritage enthusiast has visited many temples over the years. His desire to visit and worship the Lord at the Srivaishnava 108 Divya Desams took shape about three years back and since then, he has been fortunate to visit over 80 of these shrines and hopefully visit the remaining shrines very soon.

Conclusion and Suggestions. - PREFACE: “Tourism in Tamil Nadu - Growth and Development” is a captivating theme. Man has been fascinated by travel and tourism from the earliest historical period. He always has had the urge to discover the unknown, to explore new and strange places, to seek changes of environment and to undergo new experiences. Travelling to achieve these ends is not new, but tourism is of a relatively modern origin. Tourism is distinguishable by its mass character from the travel undertaken in the past. This is largely a post-second world war phenomenon. Until recently only affluent people participated in tourism. Increased leisure, higher incomes and greatly enhanced mobility have combined to enable more people to participate in Tourism. Revolution in transport, technological progress and the emergence of a middle class with time and money to spare for recreation, has led to the growth of tourism—”the modern holiday industry”. Thus tourism is no longer the prerogative of a few but is an accepted part of life of a large number of people. India is one of the oldest civilizations with a kaleidoscopic variety and rich cultural heritage. For centuries India has been a centre of attraction for different people for different reasons. The ancient invaders viewed it as a goldmine with unlimited wealth to plunder; the learned were fascinated by its mystic spiritualism and profound philosophy; the uninitiated saw it as a land of naked fakirs and snake charmers; while the others were simply charmed by the sheer beauty of its natural attractions and amazing variety of its flora and fauna.

Download or read book Viraha Bhakti written by Friedhelm Hardy and published by Motilal Banarsidass. This book was released on 2015-01-01 with total page 716 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Lord Krsna abandoned his earthly mistresses who then spent their days of separation pining for his return. This powerful theme found expression not only in myth but also in the devotion and poetry of a religious culture that evolved in South India. From the fifth century A.D., the Tamils absorbed many elements from the classical traditions of the North, such as yoga, the temple worship and Krsna myths, and the results were unique blends of the two civilizations. Viraha-bhakti, as the author styles this type of Krsna religion, imbued the theme of separation with erotic and ecstatic features and evolved as one of the highlights of Indian religion and culture. The present work is a detailed study of the multifarious origins of Viraha-bhakti in South India and its developments up to the point at which it entered the pan-Indian scene. The study suggests a revision of the monolithic image of Indian religion implied in much scholarly literature. It differentiates a great variety of interacting traditions and milieux and demonstrates the dynamism of Indian culture. By identifying a specific type of religion and reflecting on its significance, the author attempts, at the same time, to go beyond purely textual and historical considerations. Thus the book will be of interest to any student of Indian religion and culture.
