Among
the Alwars, a few are deservedly famous as wandering minstrels. They deem
igniting the dormant spiritual instincts as the divine calling, and by roaming
about like nomads, they spill bhakti sudha at every one of their steps. They
are believed to be the potent aspects-amsas of Lord Mahavishnu descended to
propagate Bhakti cult through community singing, and offering several kinds of
prayer services to the Almighty God. They are noted for their mellifluous
tones, where from sprout sweep cadences that flow down in silver cascades to
dip devotees in God's nectarine bliss. Wherever they stay, they convert it in
to God's abode and they they go on singing. Timeless, restless and endless.
Hark! all but about God and his sports. Moreover, they are humanitarians first
and last, they sacrifice their own to make the miserable less miserable, than
making the happy, happier. See how they put in practice their ideals, and
decide who among the four deserves first prize.
