1947 - Varai Indhiyavil Anniyar Aatchi: Nootru Kanakkana Jathigal Mattrum Theendamaiyinal

The Nayanars lived about 1500 years ago in the Tamil-majority area of south India. Their Saiva religious writings come under Tamil Tirumurai. They immensely contributed to Bhakthi literature and Saiva Religion. They conducted debates with Buddhists and Jains and defeated them. In this manner, they brought back Buddhists and Jains back to the Saiva Religion.
