Alvars (6th - 9th century):
Alvars (literally meaning those immersed in God) were poet-saints of Tamil Nadu whose lives embodied ecstatic devotion towards Lord Vishnu. They sang divine hymns praising the 108 sacred shrines of Lord Vishnu which are called the
Divya Desams. The collection of their divine hymns are known as the
Divya Prabandha. The 12 Alvars are:
[1. Poigai Alvar] - [2. Bhoothath Alvar] - [3. Peyalvar] - [4. Thirumalisai Alvar] - [5. Thondaradippodi Alvar] - [6. Thirumangai Alvar] - [7. Thiruppan Alvar] - [8. Periyalvar] - [9. Andal] - [10. Nammalvar] - [11. Madhurakavi Alvar] - [12. Kulashekhara Alvar]
