◆━━━━━━◆❃◆━━━━━━◆
❧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.
