The Hindu : 'Aham' tradition in Azhwars' poems (481 words) |
 | AZHWARS, PATRON-SAINTS of Vaishnavism, were great mystics of a very high order and composed verses numbering 4000 as they were intoxicated by their love towards the Supreme Being. |
| Of the 12 Azhwars, the Mudalazhwars or the first three — Poigai, Bhoodam and Peyazhwar — who are the authors of the first, second and third Thiruvandadis, found the Lord residing not only in their hearts but in every being including nature. |
| The author's fine analytical work on the "Aham" tradition in Azhwars' poems is a veritable feast to lovers of Tamil literature, more so to those who are greatly interested in the study of Azhwars' outpourings. |

Azhwars (754 words) |
| The AzhwArs are reported to be incarnations of NithasUris of Sri Vaikuntam, namely, the weapons, the Vanamaali, the GarudA, et al. |
| These works of AzhwArs are non-paralleled in every sense- be it in sentiment, style or syntax.They take even a casual reader on a guided tour into the esoteric exegesis of the Vedas without offending the provisions of exclusions and prohibitions enjoined in the study of the Vedas in original. |
| AzhwAr's paasurams (poems) called naalaayira dhivyap prabhandam composed by twelve AzhwArs.The paasurams were collected and brought out by one of the much revered Sri vaishnava AchAryAs called Sriman Naathamuni. |
