Archetypes

The archetypes are not culturally driven but rather the very elements that constitute what a culture is.

In Saivism all the personal, the socio-political and the natural processes are seen as the Dance of Siva-Sakti, a way of looking at the world and existence itself that results from extensive practices in interpreting and understanding metaphysical dreams.

You can see that this is how the great Nayanmars like Punitavati, Appar, Sambantar, Sundarar and so forth understood existence, a form of understanding that constitutes a very high stage of spiritual development.

The most remarkable clause here in Punita’s “aruLee ulakellaam aaLvippatu” : it is the Divine Grace that rules all the worlds.
