'Tiruppavai' Summary
In the Tiruppavai, Andal, a young devotee of Vishnu, expresses her profound love for him. She awakens her companions, urging them to join her in celebrating the festival of Mārgali by bathing in sacred waters, adorning themselves with flowers, and singing devotional hymns. The Tiruppavai encapsulates Andal's passionate yearning for divine union, conveying her devotion and desire to surrender to Vishnu's grace. The hymns emphasize the importance of rituals and ceremonies as avenues for spiritual connection and offer a glimpse into the rich devotional traditions of Tamil Hinduism.Book Details
