Divya Prabandham

Divya Prabandham is a sacred collection of 4,000 Tamil hymns composed by twelve poet-saints called Alvars. These hymns are dedicated to Lord Vishnu and are considered a key spiritual text in Sri Vaishnavism. They praise the divine qualities of Vishnu and his incarnations, emphasizing devotion, humility, and surrender. The Divya Prabandham is analogous to the Psalms of the Bible, serving both as devotional poetry and theological scripture. It holds a central place in Tamil religious tradition, inspiring devotional practices and guiding followers in their spiritual journey.
