              Srimate Ramanujaya namaha
              Swamy Mudali andaan thiruvadigale
                       saranam.
              Periya jeeyar thiruvadigale saranam.

Dear srivaishnavas,
Please accept Adiyel's humble namaskarams.
I would like to share with you all a small information
that i read from one of our sampradaya books about the
classification of our divine places in
India.Accordingly these places can be classified as
follows.

1. The places(sthalam)that were created by rishis are
called "Arsham".

2. The places that were described  or mentioned 
in puranas  are called "pouraanikam".

3. The places where emperuman stationed according to
his own will,with out anybody's effort are called
"swayam vakta sthalangal"or "syttham".

4.The places that were created by Brahma or any devaas
as a result of their penance are called "Daivam".

5. Those that were createsd by kings and adiyaars are
called "Maanavam".

6. Those places that were favoured by Aacharya
purushas are called "Abimaana sthalam"

The places that were either included or
not included in these catagories,if they were sung by
our alwars then it becomes a "Divya desam".
 
Adiyel will post some more interesting informations
about  our diya desams in my next mail.

Adiyel Ramanuja daasyai.
Srilatha Gunaseelan.
