Chidambaram Nataraja Temple and Dikshitars
From rare Michael Wood's documentary "Darshan - An Indian journey"(1989). This is fragment about a Chidambaram temple (Thillai Natarajar) and its priests - the Dikshitars.
It was Michael Wood's first trip into India.

Wow.. in this video while they speak, mentioning 20 yrs from 1968..which is year 1988... See the surroundings of temple that time.. full of trees... But right now full of buildings...
The first migration of brahmins included Dikshitar, Nambudiri, and original Soliyar Brahmins who wore front kudumi / purvasikha. This is attested in Sangam literature (early centuries BC - early centuries AD) , which describes brahmins wearing front kudumi. Some of the early Alvar were Soliyar Brahmins. Nambudiri brahmins still practice srauta rituals. Very cool
Wow ..... My home town temple 😍😍😍😍

He didn't say it was a Christian symbol or that it was from Christianity, he said it was like the Christian symbol. He was making a comparison for people so they could understand the similarities.
Super ❤️ devotion peace spirituality.

The commenter wrongly pronounced about the symbol.he mentioned about christian symbol actually is not an orginally christian symbol,origin it's from hinduism.

I cannot believe that it was our ancestors that built such grand temple complexes and lead such refined life which of course had its extremes. India today is an anarchy. It's sheer chaos and mess. Architecture is in shambles, the order in society is broken. There is harshness in speech, there is frustration in behavior, there is no sense of beauty! Cannot believe the grand visionaries of this land who built this temple ever imagined that society would forget the Principles of Beauty and Divinity that seers saw in Orderliness of society. Just looking at our cities, it's uninspiring, soul crushing madness

Michael Wood's documentaries are known to be biased.
The very word deekshat never belonged to tamils...our temple priest are our own people...one day will come untill the last Tamil will make you pay what you are looting..

@@somaskhan deekshitar is a Sanskrit equivalent of andhanar. Andhanar literally means brahmin. So if you're agreeing that andhanar has been mentioned in tamizh literature, you are indeed agreeing that Brahmins have been a part of the ancient thamizh society and we're very much revered. Appreciate the acknowledgement
