Book Description
"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."

Book Description
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.

Book Description
This book is the crowning achievement of the remarkable scholar D. Dennis Hudson, bringing together the results of a lifetime of interdisciplinary study of south Indian Hinduism. The book is a finely detailed examination of a virtually unstudied Tamil Hindu temple, the Vaikuntha Perumal (ca. 770 C.E.). Hudson offers a sustained reading of the temple as a coherent, organized, minutely conceptualized mandala. Its iconography and structure can be understood in the light of a ten-stanza poem by the Alvar poet Tirumangai, and of the Bhagavata Purana and other major religious texts, even as it in turn illuminates the meanings of those texts. Hudson takes the reader step by step on a tour of the temple, telling the stories suggested by each of the 56 sculpted panels and showing how their relationship to one another brings out layers of meaning. He correlates the stories with stages in the spiritual growth of the king through the complex rituals that formed a crucial dimension of the religion. The result is a tapestry of interpretation that brings to life the richness of spiritual understanding embodied in the temple. Hudson's underlying assumption is that the temple itself constitutes a summa theologica for the Pancharatra doctrines in the Bhagavata tradition centered on Krishna as it had developed through the eighth century. This tradition was already ancient and had spread widely across South Asia and into Southeast Asia. By interweaving history with artistic, liturgical, and textual interpretation, Hudson makes a remarkable contribution to our understanding of an Indian religious and cultural tradition.

Book Description
Most overviews of Hindu belief and practice follow a history from the ancient Vedas to today. Such approaches privilege Brahmanical traditions and create a sense of Hinduism as a homogenous system and culture, and one which is largely unchanging and based solely on sacred texts. In reality, modern Hindu faith and culture present an extraordinary range of dynamic beliefs and practices. 'Contemporary Hinduism' aims to capture the full breadth of the Hindu worldview as practised today, both in the sub-continent and the diaspora. Global and regional faith, ritualised and everyday practice, Brahmanical and non-Brahmanical belief, and ascetic and devotional traditions are all discussed. Throughout, the discussion is illustrated with detailed case material and images, whilst key terms are highlighted and explained in a glossary. 'Contemporary Hinduism' presents students with a lively and engaging survey of Hinduism, offering an introduction to the oldest and one of the most complex of world religions.
