12 Alwargal List


Narayana, the ultimate and He pervades in all. The ardent devotees who are immersed in God Narayana are called Azhvars. The period of Azhvars is said to be between 6th and 9th Century. There are 12 Azhvars including 'Sri Andal'. The collection of their hyms is called 'Divya Prabandham' They are 4000 in number.
The reason for Azhvars to appear on this Earth is to spread the bakthi of Sriman Narayana. It is to be noticed that the weapons like disc, sword, conch, etc have incarnated as Azhvars, mainly to sing in praise of the Lord and to serve Him in his abode. They're part and parcel of the Lord, Sriman Narayana. Their hymns are said to be equivalent to Vedas, Upanishads, and Bagavat Gita. As the very ancient language, Sankskrit is difficult to understand and have in depth meanings, Azhvars have sung 'Paasurams' which are easily understandable and have meanings that are said to be as equal to Vedas.
Though Azhvars hail from Tamil Nadu [hence also known as Dravida saints], they belong to the whole human community and this blog on them might be having tamil tint in it. For people who do not know 'tamil', relevant english translation for some of the words can be seen.
Nithiya Sooriyargal or Nithya Soorigal [meaning Nithiya-ever, Sooriyargal-Sun]. They've the effulgence like a Sun and this is forever. It does not vanish on time. Azhvars are said to be 'Nithya Sooryas'.
Nithya Soorigals  like Adhi Sesha, Vishwaksena, Garuda, etc would be ever in Vaikunta to serve the Lord.

Each Azhvar would be in a form of any one of the Nithya Sooryas.
