About us
The Perur Aadheenam has the legacy of being part of the Kailaya Meikandar Guru Parambarai with a rich history of more than 500 years. The Shanthalingar Peruman Thiru Kovil in Perur is the place where Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvathi manifested as "Ammai & Appar" on the Nandi and blessed Shanthalinga Adigalar. The Aadheenam was started by the great guru & saint, Shanthalinga Adigalar, in the early 17th century as a source for learning Tamil and Saivism from renowned gurus. St. Ramaswamy Adigalar transformed the Aadheenam into educational institutions in the early 1900 to provide today’s quality education along Tamil Saivite teachings to help people lead a peaceful life.
