5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent historical religious treatise, August 4, 2002
By A Customer
This is the story of the 63 Caivite Nazhanmars of Tamil Nadu, translated from Tamil to English. This dwells extensively on their different natures and different relationships to Lord Shiva, though their underlying characteristic was love of God. I would recommend this book for all Tamil religious people, who can understand English, who are devotees of Lord Shiva.
