◆━━━━━━◆❃◆━━━━━━◆

❧Alvars :-

Alvars were devoted to Lord Vishnu and his avatars .

✒ Although modern scholars consider the Alvars to be active between the 5th and 10th Century AD, they are believed to have lived between 4200 BCE – 2700 BCE.

✒ The hymns of the Alvars were made into a consolidated volume known as Divya Prabandha.

✒ The Bhakti literature that sprang from Alvars had contributed to the establishment and sustenance of a culture that broke away from the ritual-oriented Vedic religion and rooted itself in devotion as the only path for salvation.

  • Sri Andal
  • Thirumazhisai Alvar
  • Thiruppaan Alvar
  • Nammalwar
  • Kulasekara Alwar.

❧ Nayanars :-

Nayanars were devoted to Lord Shiva and his avatars.

Nayanars were active around the 6th-8th Century AD.

✒ The high priest of Raja Raja Chola I, Nambiyandar Nambi, compiled the hymns into a series of volumes called the Tirumurai.

✒ The Nayanars were from various backgrounds, including Brahmins, Harijan, and nobles. Along with the twelve Vaishnava Alvars, they are regarded as the important Hindu saints from South India.
