Rendered in an ancient musical style that precedes most Indian classical music systems, these songs give us an insight into the wave of bhakti that swept across southern India during the 7th Century. In this album, children of Isha Samskriti have rendered a select few Thevaram, as an offering to today’s world. The Nayanmars travelled the length and breadth of South India, predominantly in current day Tamil Nadu, and the temples in this region find a place in their songs. The 275 temples mentioned in Thevaram are referred to as “Paadal Petra Thalam,” which literally means “the temples that were sung in the verses”. The singing of Thevaram is still an active process in many Shiva temples in Tamil Nadu. Vibhuti or sacred ash has always been revered in the Indian culture. More so, since it's seen as a reminder of our mortality. Ideally made of the ashes from the cremation ground, vibhuti has the ability to move one toward his or her higher nature. Sambandar, it is said, cured the mysterious illness of a king, simply by applying vibhuti on him, whilst chanting "Manthiram Avadhu Neeru" that extolls the many qualities of vibhuti. “The man connected with Divine wisdom” or Thiru Gnana Sambandar was a young bala yogi from around the 7th century CE, Tamil Nadu. He couldn’t teach since he was a child, so he sang wonderfully to express his enlightenment. He challenged the existing belief systems through his poetry and discourses. The first three of the Thirumurai are compilations of his poems.
