Among the twelve Alvars, the only female Alvar is the famed Andal. The hymns of the Andal were not accepted by Vaishnavism in the early days because all the hymns of Andal were internal. All the ...songs are located in the lustful mode towards the Lord Vishnu, which is one of the modes to express the deep love of interior feelings in Bhakti. The hymns sung by Andal are ‘Thirupavai’ and ‘Nachiyar Thirumozhi’. There are 171 hymns in the Nachiyar hymn and 30 hymns in the ‘Thirupavai’. The main concept is about fasting, the fasting method, and the benefits of fasting. ‘Nachiyar Thirumozhi’ is projected in the form of the Madhurabhava position, a way that expresses love for Kannan. The hymns are in the style being used in the form of Manmadhan, the conch, the vase flower, the chakra weapon, Kannan's Pitambaram, and the cloud as messengers to Kannan to deliver the love of Andal. When Andal sends her aphrodisiac message, the internal components of the spiritual union are featured clearly. The main purpose of this article is to examine the amorous spiritual longings of Andfal in the select works. The poems of Andal are taken as the primary source for this article and the articles related to them as the supporting source to decode the taken concept.
Here she demonstrates a shift in the understanding of play in childhood by reading children's literature alongside parenting advice manuals showing the professionalization of parenting and the ...emergence of gendered roles for parents, with the supervision of play a task assigned to mothers. Simpson's final two chapters consider the spread of German ideas about childhood through Fröbel's reception in the US and Great Britain and demonstrate the ascendency of toys as "agents of historically transmitted national identity" (208) through readings of transatlantic networks of toy production and consumption in the decades before World War I. Simpson's study is sophisticated in its methodology, analysis, and careful selection of material. Simpson's study of the transatlantic play world from the seventeenth century through World War I contributes to our understanding of just how play came to be naturalized as an inherent part of childhood and the unique role of the German-speaking world in its development.
During the 20
Century, the Taizé Community created a unique liturgical tradition, combining Byzantine and Latin liturgical elements with Protestant background worship. The combination of these ...liturgical elements concurred with the rediscovery of the old Tradition of the Church and with the entrance of a considerable number of Catholic brothers into the Taizé community. The high point of this reconsidered Tradition is the introduction of the weekly Sunday Eucharist using the Taizé liturgical order. Nonetheless, the Community maintains a Eucharistic discipline and tries to avoid intercommunion. The combination of different traditional liturgical elements on a traditional Protestant base under the supervision of the community’s founder, Br. Roger, aroused great interest among both theologians and simple believers during the time.

A new reading strategy for the Thanksgiving Hymns
Hasselbalch asserts that current theories about the social background of Thanksgiving Hymns are unable to explain its heterogeneous character. ...Instead the author suggests a reading strategy that leaves presumptions about the underlying social contexts aside to instead consider the collection's hybridity as a clue to understanding the collection as a whole.
