Alvars and their celestial songs – Some Glimpses by Sri N.Rajagopalan_ 24_06_2015

Dear Devotees and Friends:

It is with great pleasure, adiyen wish to upload the book written by Sri N. Rajagopalan (adiyen’s older brother), published in 2015, to our web site under the category of “Life Stories”. This book has thoughtful and succinct account of each of the azhwar’s works and their philosophic import. It provides many interesting details about the life stories of the Azhwars. In addition, the details of the divya desa anubhavam (experience of the Lord enshrined in Sri Vaishnava holy shrines) of the Azhwars reflected in their divine verses are refreshing and enjoyable.

The link is given below:
