His insight, based on Tirumangai Alvar's poetry and a close study of the Bhagavata Purana, illuminates layers of meaning embodied in the architecture and sculpture of his temple. This volume is a 'summary interpretation' for the general reader, of a larger academic work entitled The Body of God, published in the US. It is the inspired response of a scholar who has been passionately involved with his subject for several decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mapin Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47051389272304,"sku":"9781935677208","price":16.57,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781935677208_p0.jpg?v=1763657052","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781935677208","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
