These Tamil devotional poems are classified into twelve volumes and are called Panniru Thirumurais. They include hymns of Thevaram, Thiruvasagam, Thiruvisaippah, Thiruppallandu and Periyapuranam, which are often recited as Panchapuranam. Other poems are Thirumanthiram, verses of Karaikkaal Ammaiyaar and other saints.
The saints, by their outpourings of these devotional poems restored the linguistic, religious and cultural heritage of the Tamils. They instilled courage and self respect in the Tamil minds.
This Vizha is organised with a view of imparting knowledge of our religious and cultural heritage to all, particularly the younger generation.
Parents are kindly requested to inform us early, before 17th Feb., the names of their children who wish to be involved in the student participation.
All are kindly invited to attend this important function.
