SrI:
SrImathE Gopaladesika Mahadesikaya Namah:

Dearest all,

Jan 6th (Maargazhi maasam, Kettai star) is
ThoNdaradippodi AzhwAr Thirunakshathram. He is the
AzhwAr who considered himself as the dust at the 
feet of Bhagawathas, and called himself so.

AzhwArs are those who have immersed themselves in
Bhagavath anubhavam and bhakti towards Sriya: Pathi
Sriman Narayanan, the unsurpassed and Supreme Lord.
There is also a reference in srimad Bhagawatham about
AzhwArs? births:

kalau khalu bhavishyanthi nArAaNa parAyaNah:
kvachin kvachin mahAbhAgA drAmidEshu cha bhUrisa:
thAmaraparaNi nadhI yatra kruthamAlA payasvinI
kAvErI cha mahAbhAgA pratIcI cha mahAnadhI

(meaning: In the beginning of Kaliyuga persons
"exclusively" devoted to Sriman Narayanan and endowed
with spiritual knowledge will be born here and there
in the land of dravidas where flow the rivers
ThamaraparaNi, Kruthamala (Vaigai), Payasvini
(PaalaaRu) Cauveri, and Mahanadhi (PeriyaaRu).

NammAzhwAr, MadhurakaviAzhwAr were born in the banks
of ThamaraparaNi; PeriyAzhwAr and AndAL close to
Vaigai; Poygai, PuthathAzhwAr and PeyAzhwAr and
ThirumazhisaiPiraan near PaalaaRu;
ThoNdaradippodiAzhwAr, ThirumangaiAzhwAr on the banks
of Cauveri.

Let us pay our obeisance to ThoNdaradippodi AzhwAr
(also called BhakthAngrirENu)

ThoNdaradippodi AzhwAr, composed two works:

1. ThiruppaLLiyezhucchi (10 verses) and 2. Thirummalai
(45 verses)

Thiruppalliyezhucchi is almost a great multimedia
presentation of waking up the Lord of Srirangam, who
is having His YoganithrA; The rising Sun, the gentle
breeze, the fragrance of the flowers, the movement of
birds, the bees humming, etc are greatly described by
AzhwAr.

In Thirumaalai, the necessity to recite the Divya
naamams (divine names) of The Lord Ranaganathan to
remove the sins, and the greatest importance of
kaimkaryam to Bhagawaan and more importantly His
devotees, irrespective of their caste.
