The Tevaram hymns were composed by three saint poets in the sixth and eighth centuries A.D. They are the primary scripture for Tamil Saivism, which was one of the first large-scale devotional movements within Hinduism. Indira Peterson eloquently translated a large portion of these hymns into English. These hymns provide vivid and emotional portraits of the images and myths surrounding Siva. They are still loved and sung today by millions of Saivas. The anthology’s literary, religious, and cultural contexts are illuminated by her introduction and annotations. This makes it a valuable resource book for studying South Indian popular religion. Indira Peterson identifies the Tevaram in Tamil cultural history as a pivotal text. It is a synthesis between Tamil and pan-Indian civilizations, and a distinctive expression of Tamil love of song and sacred landscape. She draws upon her pioneering research into how hymns are performed and their relationship to South Indian temple art and ritual.
