Re: 3-Alwars by Sri Bhuvarahacharya

Dear Kalale,

Thank you for the posting by Bhuvarahachar on the Mudal Alwars. 

I do not know how he says that the Alwars were just suffering humans like any
of us  but but maybe were endowed with superior vision. 

Swami Desika clearly says that the Alwars were HIS own incarnations (Abhinava
Dasaavataaram Panni - Vide Rahasya Traya Saram)  

All the Alwars have been uniformly described by Poorva Acharyas as the Amsam
of one or the other of Sriman Narayana's Parivaaras, Bhooshanas and Ayudhas. 

I do not know how he has drawn his conclusions despite clear interpretations
to the contrary by our Poorva Acharyas. Maybe, some of the erudite members
will be able to throw light on this based on APPROPRIATE AUTHORITY
(not a mere personal opinion)
