HI
I've noticed that in some temples, especially the Murugan ones, there's a shrine for the four saivite saints Appar, Sundarar, Sambandar and Manickavasagar. Can anyone enlighten me on how we worship or say our prayers to them?... i mean are there any mantras or do we just say our thanks with palms folded?
I understand that they've contributed alot to the Tamil Saivites in terms of thevarams and sacred hymns, which i understand is the reason why they have a shrine in temples... or are there any other reasons?
Thank you...
