To Plunge Within: Selections from Nammaazhwaar’s Thiruvaimozhi by Vasantha Surya (Translator) [Hardcover]

Thiruvaimozhi is a monumental Tamil Vaishnava work composed in the eighth century by the saint Nammaazhwaar, recognized as one of the twelve Aazhwaar saints. This extensive collection of 1,100 verses is presented as divine utterance rather than the poet's own creation. The work explores the fundamental human desire for reverence and posits Vishnu as the 'original god' encompassing all deities. Translated by Vasantha Surya, this selection includes 110 verses that showcase the poetic richness and profound insights of Thiruvaimozhi, reflecting the complexities of the human experience. The book employs an interlinear format, offering the Tamil original alongside its English translation and transliteration.
