Madurai Adheenam is the oldest Saivite mutt or ''aadheenam'' (mutt) in South India established more than 1,500 years, and is believed to have existed even before the time of Thirugnana Sambandar. It is located near the famous Meenakshi Amman Temple in Madurai, which is one of the most famous Siva-Shakthi shrines in the world. It is an active centre of ''Saiva Siddhanta'' philosophy. It is currently headed by Srila Sri Arunagirinatha Gnanasambantha Desika Paramacharya - who is the 292nd Guru Maha Sannidhanam or Pontiff of the Aadheenm.〔''How to become a Hindu: a guide for seekers and born Hindus ''>P.387.Satguru Sivaya Subramuniyaswami.Next Madurai Adheenam is nithyananda〕 ==Temples== The adheenam is the hereditary trustee of four temples in Thanjavur District * Agniswarar Temple, Kanjanur * Sakshinatheswarar Temple, Thiruppurambiyam * Kachaneswara Swami Temple, Kachanam * Pannagaparameswara Swami Temple 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Madurai Adheenam」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
