The History of Sadaiya Nayanar

Sadaiya Nayanar was the father of the renowned devotee who composed the great Tiruthonda Tokai and called himself the servitors of the servitors of Lord Shiva. Many of the admirable qualities of Sundarar like his peerless love for the Lord was inherited from his father Sadaiya Nayanar. Tirukural says that the duty of the father is to raise his son such that he becomes the foremost in an assembly of the wise. This father made his son celebrated not in any small assembly of people, but in assemblies of great devotees across centuries. That father who had enshrined the glorious feet of God in his heart along with his divine son will be remembered with reverence by true devotees. Let the love of Sadaiya Nayanar for the Lord stay in the mind.
