    2.To  propagate  the tenets of Saivca Siddhanta  though Temple an ethical way of life  inherent in a resident Ashrama life  of total  dedication through religious  service and   self-discipline.

    3.To emphasize and widen the scope of social relevance and humanitarian service, enshrined in Saiva doctrine, to gain a new momentum in the hitherto neglcted areas of community  and national  welfare.

    The Philosophy......

    Philosophy of Theistic Pluralism holds that:

     God, Soul and the world are real and eternal(Pati, Pasu,Pasam)

     The aim of religion is to get rid of Pasam (Bondage desires) and for the soul to attain Moksha (liberation)

     Bhakti (Devotion to God) and Gods Grace (Arul) are Central to Saivite Hinduism.
