Kulashekhara
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kulashekhara was one of the Alvars, a prominent group of Vaishnava saints. From historical estimates it is believed he lived in or around the 8th century. According to legend he was an incarnation of Vishnu’s jewel named Kaustubha.
Much of the details of Kulashekhara's personal life have been lost. He was an exceptional poet of devotional hymns and songs (including the Mandala-mala-stotra). He wrote a set of ten exquisite poems in Tamil, and the work is called Tirumal Perumoli. His poems are devotional in nature, being dedicated to Vishnu or Krishna.
