M.A. in Divyaprabhandam is a 2-year postgraduate program that focuses on the study of the Divya Prabandham, a revered collection of Tamil hymns composed by the Alvars, the saint-poets of Sri Vaishnavism. The course provides an in-depth understanding of the philosophical, theological, and poetic aspects of these hymns, their historical significance, and their impact on Vaishnavite tradition. Students explore classical Tamil literature, Sanskrit scriptures, commentaries by Acharyas, and the influence of Divya Prabandham on temple rituals, bhakti movements, and devotional music. The program is ideal for scholars interested in Vaishnavism, Tamil literary heritage, and comparative religious studies, offering opportunities in research, teaching, and cultural preservation.
