Thiru arutpa	arul jyothi deivam	The ArutperunJothi Ramalinga Adigalar, popularly known as VALLALAR, the Great Munificient, may be regarded as the foremost of the saints and ages of the nineteenth century, considering the heights, widths, depths and intimacies of his integral realisation of the Divine in all the "inmost, inner, outer, and the outermost parts of his being". The VALLALAR was the one who affirmed openly and clearly in an unmistakable language the deathlessness of his body which he attained by the power of what he called "Arut Perum Joti", the Vast Grace-Light of the Divine which he identified as the Truth-Light of Knowledge, Satya Jnana Joti.	petraval kanda peruvazhvu	Bro.Lakshmanan

Thevaaram	Munnam avarudaiya naamam	The dhEvAram given to this world by chundhara mUrthi nAyanAr form part of the 7th thirumuRai. These hymns blessed by chundharar are also called as thiruppATTU. chundharar hold a very special relationship in the devotion to Lord shiva and so are the hymns sung by them which are the testimony of this strange but sincere devotion. As could be seen from the life of sundharar(1), he lived the material life but the focus of which was just and only just Lord shiva. Whether he wanted liberation or Grace of Lord to help the suffering people or as minor things as sandal paste and materials or even the girls he wanted to marry - his only hold was Lord shiva to get anything fulfilled. The worship of Him and His devotees were the only things his tongue sings. Very naturally these characters of this great devotee are well depicted through his wonderful padhikams.	agathiyar	kunnakkudi

Thiruvasagam	nama sivaya vaazhga	Manickavachagar (10th Century): Another great composer of the 10th century was Manickavasagar. He is the composer of two of the greatest poetical treatise of his period, ThiruvAchakam and TiruvempAvai. Although I have mentioned the period as tenth century, it is not absolutely certain whether he was from this period. A few historians date Manickavasagar as pre-Thevaram period (before the 7th century) while others place him as a poet from the post-Thevaram (10th century or later) period. Regardless of the period, the contributions to Indian music and poetry that Manickavasagar made through ThiruvAchakam and TiruvempAvai is unquestionable.	Thiruvilayadal	K.V.Mahadevan

Thirugnana sambandar	Thodudaiya seviyan	Thirugnana Sambandar: (7th Century) Like his predecessor, Appar, Sambandar, was born in the Thanjavoor district. He is supposed to have been blessed by Goddess Parvathi and from then on began to compose songs and other devotional lyrics. His songs are classified as virutham. The story is that Sambandar composed his first song, tOdudaiya Seviyan, at the age of three, making him the youngest composer ever in the world. Sambandar wrote a variety of compositions, some about nature; others, as a combination of romance and bhakthi or devotion, visioning Shiva as the Nayakan and the poet as the Nayaki. Thus, Sambandar contributed to the development of not only Saivism but also to the development of music.	Gnanakuzandhai	K.V.Mahadevan
