[Sudalaimuthu Palaniappan]

Dear Indologists,

 

Apologies for cross-posting!

 

I am pleased to announce the publication of my short monograph titled, ‘Tamil Śiva Temples, Āgamas, Śivabrāhmaṇas/Ādiśaivas’. This monograph addresses the issue of whether members of all castes can become priests in Tamil Śiva temples. The history of the Śivabrāhmaṇas or Ādiśaivas as priests in Tamil Śiva temples is described using the Tamil epigraphic corpus as well as other Śaiva texts in Tamil along with information from the Śaiva studies of the likes of Richard Davis, Alexis Sanderson, Dominic Goodall, and Michael Gollner. The foreword is by Richard Davis. The publisher, YSSR Foundation, was established to honor Dr. Y. Subbarayalu, and Dr. S. Rajagopal. The cover of the monograph is attached.

 

The monograph can be downloaded from https://tinyurl.com/33a9tt4s.

 

Regards,

Palaniappan
