இலங்கையில் கீர்த்தனை மரபும் கிறிஸ்தவமும் (Kirtanai Tradition and Christianity in Sri Lanka)

Abstract

The theological theory of music, which says that music is connected with God, is a concept accepted by people of all religions. Its ideology and expectations are absorbed into religious practices as a result of the acceptance of the religious person concerned. Every ritual consists primarily of singing and praising its Lord through music. Saivism sees God as the creator of music. Islam, Buddhism, Christianity and all other religions accept singing of praise to God as their important form of worship and maintain the tradition with the corresponding structure through their actions. Tamil plays an important role in the Sri Lankan population and has a musical tradition of its own. Based on this, this review examines the place of this Tamil Islam in the course of Christianity, which once had the most prominent place in history, and tries to record the contribution of Christianity to the development of Tamil Islam in Sri Lanka.
