Music and dance are integral aspects of the unified experience of Bhakti. Sri Nathamuni, 9^th Century AD, developed a unique one-man theatre based on the compilation of Alvars called “Araiyar Sevai”, for performance before the Lord, and for spiritual education. Nathamuni was a yogi, and Araiyar sevai held the secret of his Yoga, transmitted to his grandson Alavandar, and through him to Sri Ramanuja. 

The Temple of Sri Muddu Tirunarayanaswami has been built specially to preserve and propagate this spiritual art. Twice every year, during, January and June, the entire Divya Prabhandam is performed as Araiyar sevai, in Tirunakshatram celebrations lasting ten days. On invitation, these performances are staged as well.

We are currently working on creative options to explore the traditions and absorb the spirituality of these traditions. Please check on our web sites for updates.
