Nallur Kanthan's uniqueness
In this millennium, unfolding of a new
world view which highlights the connection that exists between living
beings exisiting on the planet are emerging at many levels. Scientists
also explain the new paradigm emerging as a holistic world view, seeing
it as an integrated whole rather than small segments.
Even as this concept spreads slowly ,spiritual seekers are attempting
to seek spirituality in temlpes,family, community,education, employment
,management,politics and the world.This inter connectedness that exists
between all beings when realised, rewards inner peace and fulfilment.
This celeberation of diversity and interconnectedness ,is observed in
Nallur Kanthaswamy temple through intricate balancing of the old
traditions and new customs,Jnana yoga and Bakthi yoga, Brahmin Agamic
festivals and Dravidian folk rituals and worship of Skantha -Kumara -Murugan.This
holistic approach captures the imagination of spiritual seekers and
offers opportunities to realise inner peace and fulfilment.
