Dear gokul, Your article on Pallippadai was revealing. In our own times on Acharyas on the holy bodies, structures are raised as for instance on Mahaswami near Kalavai or the various brindaavans for various Vaishnavaite/maadhva saints in srirangam and other places and also for holy persons as in Thirvannamalai for Ramanar and seshadriswamigal and political leaders in Tamil nadu. To worship the body that has retained the soul is a human trait not easily overcome.It is also true that we raise monuments over ashes of dead persons as in the case of Gandhiji.
