Useful Tamil/Dravida Spiritual Words-LEXICON
Namaste,
In discussions related to Sri Vaishnava tradition and Shaiva Siddhanta,often certain Tamil terms appear.I think it would be nice to have a post for Tamil lexicon.I am starting with a few words,I request members to contribute.
-EmperumAn-Em(Our)+Peruman(Lord/God)=Our Lord
-NamperumAl-Nam(Our)+Perumal(Lord/God)=Our Lord
-Amman/thAyAr/AmbAl=Mother Goddess
-Koil/Kovil=Temple
-Thirumanjanam=Thiru(Holy/Beautiful)+Snanam/Abhishekam Seva=Celestial bathing offering
-Thiruvadi-Thiru+Adi(Feet)=Lotus Feet of the Lord
-aDiyAr-Daasa=Sincere devotees of the Lord's lotus feet
-aDiyen-(I'm)your servant = Servants of the Lord's sincere Devotees
Note: used instead of 'I','me' and 'mine' but not in a self-deprecatory manner but with humility to get rid to ego= Us
-Kainkaryam=Seva to the Lord(act of offering some Upachara)
I request members to forgive if there are any translation errors.
