About the Book

My Sapphire-Hued Lord, My Beloved! is a profound and evocative rendering of Perumal Tirumoli, the celebrated devotional work of Kulacekara Alvar, one of the eminent Alvars of the Vaishnava bhakti tradition. This volume presents a carefully curated bilingual treatment in Tamil and English, allowing readers to experience both the poetic beauty of the original verses and their nuanced interpretations. Rich in emotional depth, spiritual longing, and theological insight, the text reflects the Alvar’s intense devotion to Lord Vishnu, expressed through imagery, surrender, and personal intimacy with the divine. Meticulously researched and elegantly presented, this work is invaluable for scholars of Tamil bhakti literature, students of South Indian religious traditions, and readers seeking a deeper understanding of devotional poetry and Vaishnava philosophy.
