Traditions of Worship in N.Sriram's Works

Abstract

The practice of worship has been inevitable in all societies, from primitive society, which was so caught up in the clutches of nature, to present-day society, which lives in a largely artificial world. When the human race was unable to understand the outbursts in the actions of nature, worship sprang up because it acted with a sense of fear and gratitude for thinking of the energies that were helping it. The worship of the deity is a traditional practice passed down from the ancestors. All the processes performed in the name of the deity are methods of worship. This benefits not only the worshippers but also their dependents. Thus, the purpose of this article is to highlight the worship-related traditions contained in the works of N. Sriram.
