Author by: Swami Sekkizhaar Languange: en Publisher by: Lulu Press, Inc Format Available: PDF, ePub, Mobi Total Read: 65 Total Download: 886 File Size: 42,5 Mb Description: The Tamil Devotional Classic Periya Puranam or “The Great Epic” by Sekkizhaar is the saga of the sixty three Nayanmars or servitors of the Lord who not only lived for Him but adored Him in delightfully distinct ways. Lord Shiva whom these Saiva-Siddhantins worshipped is not a sectarian deity but the supreme creator preserver and destroyer of the Universe who comes in human form from time to time and ‘plays’ with these servitors when their devotion gets incandescent. These Nayanmars are of both the sexes and of all ages and range from tribal hunters to emperors of vast domains.
Caste and community wealth and status do not count with them even as they do not with the Lord. The trials and tribulations they cheerfully undergo and the incredible sacrifices they make for the Lord’s sake take our breadth away. To pursue their stories is to inhale the air of sanctity and blessedness.

Two millennia later, during the second Gulf War, Iraqis 'insulted' a toppled bronze statue of Saddam Hussein by beating it with their shoes. Do these chronologically distant but apparently related examples of the defamation of images imply that the persons represented were regarded by their detractors as in some way 'present' in the images? Presence: The Inherence of the Prototype within Images and Other Objects reconsiders the notion of 'presence' in objects. The first book to address the issue directly, it contains a series of case studies covering a broad geographical and chronological range from ancient Greece and the Incas to industrial America and contemporary India, as well as examples from the canon of western European art. The studies reveal the widespread evidence for this striking form of response and allow readers to see how 'presence' is evoked and either embraced or repressed in differing historical and cultural contexts. Featuring a variety of disciplines and approaches, the book will be of interest to students of art history, art theory, visual culture, anthropology, psychology and philosophy. Author by: P.
