108 Divya Desams
Among the various temples dedicated
to Lord Vishnu, there are 108 temples which are designated to be DIVYA
DESAMS. These are actually the places worshipped and sung by Alwars,
the saintly poets who immersed themselves in the divine ocean of Lord Vishnu.
Their whole life was devoted to the the 12 Alwars had
Thus, 106 temples have been addressed
by the Tamil Alwars, who were pillars of the Sri Vaishnava tradition that
wasto evolve in Tamilnadu. The contrast in the nature of these temples
is stunning, given the diversity in the Indiansubcontinent. Even a virtual
visit to these 106 shrines across the nation, is quite an experience,
and is illustrative of this contrast, given the difference in the nature
of temples in the various regions such as the Kaveri basin, Andhra
Pradesh, Kerala, the Tirunelveli region, the Gangetic plains and the Himalayas.
