Shaivam Shanmata Sthapanam is a remarkable Tamil spiritual book that explores the profound philosophy of Shaivam, the worship of Lord Shiva as the Supreme Being, and its integral place within the Shanmata tradition. The Shanmata system, established by the great sage Adi Shankaracharya, harmonizes six major paths of worship in Hinduism—Shaivam, Vaishnavam, Shaktam, Ganapatyam, Kaumaram, and Sauram. This book sheds light on how Shaivam emphasizes devotion, meditation, and surrender to Lord Shiva as the ultimate path to spiritual liberation.

The text delves into the various aspects of Shaivam, including the significance of Lord Shiva’s forms, such as Nataraja, Lingodbhava, and Dakshinamurthy, as well as the importance of sacred rituals, temples, and hymns like the Thevaram and Tiruvachakam. The book provides detailed explanations of Shaiva philosophy, including the concepts of Pati (the Lord), Pasu (the soul), and Pasa (the bondages), offering a comprehensive understanding of how Shaivam guides devotees toward self-realization and unity with the divine.

Through its integration into the Shanmata tradition, Shaivam Shanmata Sthapanam illustrates the unity underlying diverse worship practices, highlighting the inclusiveness of Hindu spirituality. The book serves as both a spiritual manual and an intellectual exploration, making it invaluable for practitioners, scholars, and seekers alike. With its profound insights and accessible explanations, this book invites readers to immerse themselves in the boundless grace of Lord Shiva and appreciate Shaivam as a timeless spiritual path.
