Description
Sudhamahi Regunathan's beautifully researched, accessibly written account of the legendary Tamil king Murugan—tracing the mythology, the devotional traditions, and the living cultural significance of one of Tamil civilization's most beloved sacred figures—provides English readers with the most complete and the most thoughtfully produced introduction to this important dimension of Tamil religious culture. Written with the scholarly depth and the genuine devotional warmth that make religious scholarship at its best so valuable, this is essential reading for every person drawn to the rich spiritual traditions of South India. An important work.
