शठारिहस्तमुद्रिका हठात्करोतु मे मनः ||
पराङ्कुशाष्टकम् - 8

Nammazhwar - Painting

ஆழ்வார்கள் வாழி அருளிச்செயல் வாழி 

Commissioned work Nammazhwar A3 size painting


NammAzhwAr was born in ThirukkurugUr (AzhwAr thirunagari) as the child of KAri and udayanangai. He was born days after the advent of kaliyugam. In bhagavad gIthA, krishnan declares that “After many many birth one comes to the conclusion that everything belongs to vAsudevan (himself). And it is very rare to find such jnAnis”. NammAzhwAr from his life and works proves that he was one such jnAni who is very dear to emperumAn. Throughout his life (which only lasted 32 years in this samsAram), he stayed under the tamarind tree (thirupuLiyAzhwAr) and was always in yOgam (meditation) thinking about emperumAn.
