Devalay vs Divya Prabhandham

For centuries, Bharat has suffered the onslaught of Islamic invaders, who have left a wake of loot, pillage and destruction. The scars exist even today, the motherland broken into pieces. The kingdom of Gandhāra, mentioned in the Mahābhārata, has an almost non existent Hindu population today. But one need not travel to a foreign country to see carnage. In 1990, Shri Sitaram Goel published a book. titled Hindu Temples – What Happened to Them, listing thousands of Hindu, Jain and Buddhist temples, which were destroyed to build Islamic monuments and places of worship, stressing this list was just the tip of the iceberg! This app attempts to convey that same list in an interactive map form. (Clicking on any marker displays further information about it.) You can also search for a specific desecrated Devalay, either by it's name, place or state.

Divya Prabhandham is a devotional reading companion for the Naalayira Divya Prabhandham — the 4,000 sacred Tamil verses of the Azhwars — together with the Desika Prabhandham, presented as a set of beautifully rendered sacred texts you can read, listen to, and return to daily. THE COMPLETE TEXT, TRADITIONALLY ORGANISED All four Aayirams — Mudhalayiram, Irandaam Aayiram, Moondraam Aayiram (Iyarpa), and Naangaam Aayiram (Thiruvaimozhi) — alongside the Desika Prabhandham, organised exactly as tradition holds them: by Aayiram, by work, and by decad (pathigam), with the Azhwar or Acharya credited for every section. READ, LISTEN, OR BOTH Every pasuram is set in a clean, legible reading view built for daily use, with recitation audio so you can listen while you follow along, and a Continue Reading shortcut that always picks up exactly where you left off. KEEP WHAT MATTERS TO YOU - Favourites — bookmark any pasuram for quick return - Collections — build your own playlists of verses, for a specific prayer, a daily recitation set, or anything personal to your practice - Search across the entire corpus in Tamil or English UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE READING Concise essences accompany each decad, giving context and meaning alongside the verses themselves — without getting in the way of the text.
