Alwars have been the torch bearers of Vaishnavism with their distinguished works. Andal or Goda Devi, the only female alwar, is famous for her works Thiruppavai and Nachiyar Thirumozhi. Both these works deal with the paramount love that the women folk, meaning gopikas have for Sri Krishna. In Nachiyar Thirumozhi, Andal describes so succulently, her love and passion for Sriman Narayana in the fourteen thirumozhis. The parsurams in each thirumozhi illustrate in various degrees, the love, suffering and the pangs of separation that she undergoes in her search for ultimate happiness - being united with Sriman Narayana in holy matrimony. Each pastrami is distinct in expressing her feelings. They also articulate the culture and the customs of vaishnavism eloquently. Some of the rituals portrayed in this work are still practiced. In the sixth thirumozhi, Vaaranamayiram' , the wedding rituals are portrayed beautifully in a chronological order in each pastrami. These rituals are followed even in present day Vedic weddings, such are their unique significance. She envisioned Sriman Narayana not as God but as her consort, with whom she yearned to be with. From the first thirumozhi to the last, her love to be near him keeps intensifying and so does the pain she suffers due to her separation from him. These are depicted distinctly and each thirumozhi is unique with its own theme, such as the eight is about Sri Venkateswara of Tirumala, the fourteenth thirumozhi is about envisioning Sri Krishna in Brindavanam, etc. Smt. Sripada Divya has accomplished an excellent work of literature. She has written this book in unpretentious words, which can be easily understood by the layman. I am sure this poignant work would have a profound impact on the readers and help them have a deeper understanding and appreciation of Vaishnava philosophy and cultural values. I am confident that readers would find this book interesting and invigorating.
