Peria Puranam is a Tamil classic and this is a translated version; chronicling the story of 63 Great Saints of Shiva tradition called Saivaites. Hard bound book; and for any lover of peace/reading into Hinduism and meditative practices; this is an awesome book. It has secured a place in my library for reading in casual times as well as serious contemplative times. I have several books from the same publisher and I am not disappointed ever.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.
