Swami Siva Nandhi AdikalarThe parent organisation for the London Meikandhar Aadheenam was the British Saiva Siddhantha center based in Londen E17.6JE which functioned from 1970 upholding the following broad aims.
1.To uphold our moto: "Compossionate service for the welfare of all and a devout life of discipline and publications.
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.
4.Future Plans: In due course, it is proposed to widen the scope of Hindu Saiva religious and charitable work as an international-saiva sevice.

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.
