Description

This scholarly work by Routledge examines the religious ideology and legacy of Ramalinga Swamigal, a 19th-century Tamil reformer and saint (1823-1874), and his profound influence on the transformation of Tamil religion. The book traces how Ramalinga Swamigal evolved from being viewed as an exemplary poet-saint within the Tamil aivite bhakti tradition to becoming recognised as a Dravidian nationalist social reformer. Drawing on Ramalinga's own writings as a foundation, this volume provides crucial insight into his religious thought and the hagiographical and biographical processes that shaped his posthumous reception in Tamil country. Part of the Routledge South Asian Religion Series, this book offers scholars, historians, and students of South Asian religion, Dravidian studies and Tamil literature a comprehensive analysis of how a single figure's work and interpretation catalysed significant religious and cultural change across the Tamil-speaking regions.
