Alvar SaintsA land is known by its saints and seer-poets. There is a galaxy of them in the annals of the Tamil land and its literature. Lack of adequate translation in popular languages keeps them shimmering in obscurity.Dr. Shuddhananda Bharati, the author of this book, has written many works upon the saints, seers, poets and heroes and critical interpretations upon their messages. In the words of the great savant, Dewan Bahadur K. S. Ramaswami Sastriar, Shuddhananda Bharati (Swamiji) is a yogi, a mystic, and a poet who has much kinship with Kalidasa and Keats as well as Valmiki and Wordsworth. Our sincere gratitude is due to Dewan Bahadur K. S. Ramaswami Sastriar for his critical and luminous foreword. Sri Sastriar was a profound scholar, a prolific writer in whom the oriental and occidental cultures find their rational synthesis. Our thanks are also due to Sri Bhaktavatsala Aiyangar, Headmaster, who has written an appreciation to this work, after carefully going through the message and the proofs.Let the Divine Will and the public sympathy lead us to the realisation of our sincere aspirations!It is a real pleasure for me to present this treatise on Alvar Saints to you. Thank you, Dr. Shuddhananda Bharati for having transmitted Alvar Saints to us. The first edition of this book is dated on January 1, 1942.Editions ASSA, Christian Piaget
