Sacred Hymns
Divya Prabandham
The Nālāyira Divya Prabandham is the collection of four thousand Tamil hymns sung by the twelve Azhwars — the poet-saints of the Sri Vaishnava tradition.
Why it matters
Importance
The Prabandham is chanted daily in Sri Vaishnava temples and forms the devotional heart of temple worship. Learning to recite the Prabandham deepens devotion and connects the devotee to the Azhwars' vision.
