However, by knowing about these Azhvars, their appearance details (starand month) an interest will be kindled in our mind about the prabandams (Mudal, Irandam and Moonram Thiruvandathi)of these Azhvars and the message contained in them. This will their get us emancipated.> > eppuviyum pEsu pugazh: The first three Azhvars are attributed with suchfame, they ate talked about everywhere; but why? Firstly, the unnatural way oftheir birth evoked interest in the minds of people. Their birth is not in theusual human way but entirely by the grace of Lord. They were born out of flowers.Then, the knowledge they possessed is also unheard of. They were able to seethe Lord (sakshatkaram). Vedas saythe Lord cannot be seen. But these Azhvars have seen. To crown all these facts,the Lord along with his consort, Mahalakshmi, craved for the physical contactwith these Azhvars. This is a special status granted by Lord to these Azhvars.The Bhagwan and Lakshmi came in physical form amidst these Azhvars, when theywere lodged in a very narrow space at Thirukkovilur. The Lord pressed Himselfagainst these Azhvars and created an unprecedented pressure for them to realizehis presence. Bhagwan liked their company and wished to show Himself to them.The> Mudal Azhvars in turn sang the praise of Lord and gave Him hapiness.Bhagwan and Azhvars saw each other, touched each other and enjoyed the company,which was a rarity found only with these Azhvars.> > oppilavA nALgaL: The Mudal Azhvars are humble in nature. They came down to this earthas prasadam from the Lord. The month and days associated with them areincomparable with any other day.> > The star Sravanam belongs to Lord Vishnu,. It is alsothe birth star of illustrious Acharyan, Pillai Lokachariar. So the triple foldimportance of the day to Srivaishnavas. “muppiri> ootina nal’’. Ayppasi is considered as Srivaishnava month.
