Classification of Bhakthi

TEMPLE WORSHIP IS FOREVER BLISS

temple-general-planWe are all aware the very word AANMEEKAM connotes subjects like Temple, Bhakthi Agamas and other related issues. But many do not know under which classification each subject is dealt with in our holy scriptures. Generally the term refers to temple structures, which Agama branch is adhered to in that temple-whether Paancharathraa or Vaikaanasaa-, what are the agama rules prescribed, what are the periodical festivals in that temple etc .

Even though the term AANMEEKAM covers further subjects like Archana, Stotras, Aaraathanai etc these are all dealt under separate category as TEMPLE WORSHIP.

Hence there are two classifications under which these subjects will be dealt with, Under AAGAMAS temple structures, practice of Paancharaathram or Vaikaanasa etc and under TEMPLE WORSHIP temple worship ,festivals etc.This approach will be better to have a clear understanding of what AANMEEKAM means to us and to make a deep inroad into the spirit of the term.

Apart from temple worship we follow another method of worship and that is the prayer we conduct daily in our homes. This is dealt with separately as this is the routine of an individual which he is supposed to practice everyday. This comes under ANUSHTAANAM .Similarly STOTRAMS and ARCHANAI are given independent treatments.
