In the SriVaishNava sampradAyam, a divya dEsam is a temple whose perumAL has been sung about by atleast one AzhvAr. This is called ``maNgaLAsAsanam". Emperumaan, Lord Sriman Narayanan is found in various Thirukkolam. The Thirukkolam (Appearance of His revered Idols) in 108 Divyakshetrams. Kidantha Thirukkolam (Sleeping Posture) - 27 Divyadesams, Veetrirundha Thirukkolam (Sitting Position) - 21 Divyadesams, Nindra Thirukkolam (Standing Position) - 60 Divyadesams. Out of these 108 Divyadesams, as we have seen that The Lord ( Perumal) is appearing in various Thirukkolam (Postures), he is also facing his Thirumugham (Face) on various directions and giving his seva darshan. The Lord appears facing Towards East direction at 79 temples, facing towards West direction - 19, facing towards North direction - 3 and facing towards South direction in 7 temples. Each divya dEsam has the paasuram number as found in the NAlAyira Divya Prabandham known as DrAvida Veda Sagaram. Among the twelve aazhvaars, only 11 composed hymns on the 108 Divya dEsams. Poykaiaazhvaar composed hymns on 6 Divya dEsam, boothathaazhvaar on 13, peyaazhvaar on 15, thirumazhisai aazhvaar on 17, nammaazhvaar on 37, kulasekaraazhvaar on 9, periyaazhvaar on 18, Sri Andaal on 11 and thondaradip podiyaazhvaar on 1, respectively. Madhurakavi Azhvaar glorified Nammazhvaar in his hymns. Thirumangai Azhvar has visited as much as 87 divya desams on foot and sung poem in His glory, (Mangalasasanam to Lord - PerumaL.) Emperumaan Sriman Narayanan who is the Paramathma is manifest in all souls the Jeevathmas, is found from Himalayas to Kanyakumari in various thirukkolamgal (posture or position) in various sthalams (places). Out of these Sthalams, 12 Alwars, who are said to be the amsam of Sriman Narayanan, have sung Mangalasasanam (sung in praise of The Lord God) on the Perumal and there are totally 108 Sthalams where Alwars have done Mangalasasanam on the Perumal. These 108 Vishnu Sthalams are called as "Divyadesams", literally meaning Holy Shrine spots. The 108 Divya Desams or Tirupatis (Sriyah Pathihi) are sacred places were sung upon by Azhwars, the ultimate devotees of Narayana. There are 106 on the Indian Subcontinent (105 in India and 1 in Nepal). The remaining two, Tirupparkadal and Srivaikuntam, can be accessed only when one leaves this world. The Tirupparkadal is the "ocean of milk" and the Srivaikuntam is the domain where LORD NARAYANA presides. Our Salutations to the present pontiff of Madhuramangalam, His Holiness Sri Yatiraja Narayana Ramanuja Jeeyar Swamy who had decided to have darshan of 108 Divya Desam Perumals now and re-bring the World into the Clan of Sri Vaishnavism so that entire World wouldSrikaryam : Sriman Ravindra Ramanuja Dasan (RRD) : +91 96004 22903 (TN) , +91 96766 71579 (AP) .

12 Azhwars / Alwars :

Poigai Alwar, Bhoodath Alwar and Pei Alwar are collectively called as "Mudhal Alwars" and they are contempararies. Thirumazhisai Alwar thought the Perumal as his friend and has sung Mangalasasanam on Perumal. Thirumangai Alwar, who was a great king in the beginning of his life but later, renounced all material attachments to serve the Perumal and his bhaktaas. Thondaradippodi Alwar, who is also named as Vipra Narayanar led his life as a servant of the Perumal by offering Him with flower Garlands. Thiruppaan Alwar, who belonged to the Paanar family, praised the Perumal through his beautiful songs and Paasurams. Periyalwar, is considered as the Mother, Father for Sri Andal and Father-in-Law to Perumal, and has sung Mangalasasanam on Perumal. Srimati Andal, who is also called as "Soodikkodutha Sudar Kodi" is said to be the daughter (brought up) of Periyalwar, the author of most fervarantly devotional flavoured "Thiruppavai", in which she



considers Sriman Naryanan as her lover. She is the only lady alwar. Nammalwar, who sat in trance in love of Sriman Narayana, below the Tamarind tree without taking any food and sleep for 16 continuous years, and has sung Mangalasasanam on Perumal and he has worked hard to spread Sri Vaishnavam. Madhurakavi Alwar, who is said to be the Sishyan (Student) of Nammalwar is also one among 12 Alwars. Kulasekara Alwar, is a great devotee of Sri Ramar, has also done Mangalasasanam on the Perumal, particularly in his Malayala Naatu thriuppathigal. Details of 12 Azhwars
