About
SOUTH INDIA DIVYADESAM YATRA
In our Sanatana Dharma, Sri Mahavishnu is the Supreme lord and much-worshipped Lord. As India is surrounded by oceans, in the same way, the devotion to the Lord is also spread throughout our country.
Emperumaan Sriman Narayanan who is the Paramathma, is found from Himalayas to Kanyakumari in various divine form (posture or position) in various sthalams (places).
Out of these Sthalams, Alwars, who are said to be the amsam/amsha of Sriman Narayana, have sung Mangalasasanam (sung in praise of The Lord God) on the Perumal and there are totally 108 Sthalams where Alwars have done Mangalasasanam on the Perumal by seeing his personal divine form. These 108 Vishnu Sthalams are called as “Divyadesams“, literally meaning Holy Shrine spots. These Divya desams are filled with many past times or lilas of the lord with his devotees.
