VOICES
From Those Who Have Heard the Calling
When I climbed the model of the 27 steps, I felt my birth star call to me. I have never wept so quietly in a sacred place.
Lakshmi Subramaniam
Bengaluru, India
To sponsor a brick in a temple that will stand for a thousand years is to plant a seed whose shade I will never sit in. That is the whole point.
Dr. Karthik Venkatesh
Singapore
My grandfather walked Girivalam every full moon. That his great-grandchildren will pray in a temple built by Agathiyar's vision — there are no words.
Priya Mahadevan

Arunachala is fire. To build a temple of bliss at the foot of fire is to complete a circuit that has been waiting for centuries.
