மலேசியாவில் சைவநெறி இலக்கிய ஆய்வுகளில் புதிய பார்வை (A New Perspective on Saivism Literary Studies in Malaysia)

Abstract

Religion is the virtue of purifying souls. Religion can be said to be rooted wherever the sense of holiness appears. The way of worshipping Lord Shiva is called Saivism. Saivism is associated with Lord Shiva; God, who is the primary substance of the world, is given as the name of the ritual of worshiping clearly as 'Sivam'. Saivism is a religion based on knowledge. Many studies on this principle have been carried out in Malaysia. Almost all the studies touch upon elements of Saiva Siddhanta principles, trinity and salvation. In Malaysia the monotheistic doctrine of Saivism has long been held in high esteem by Hindus; It is being accepted. Therefore, the principle of monotheistic theory calls for extensive study of Saiva philosophical texts. University students have been carrying out considerable research in this field, and thus a collection of studies on Saivism carried out by Malaysian researchers to this day to date is provided as an appendix.  In particular, the articles in the monthly journal 'Sivanarul' of the ‘Malaysia Saiva Samaya Peravai’ are pioneers in the study of monotheistic doctrine. The contents of these articles are presented through this paper, and therefore, this article addresses a new perspective on monotheistic doctrine among Malaysian researchers.
