Thirumangai Azhwar, also known as Thirumangai Mannan is the last of the 12 Azhwar saints of south India, who are known for their affiliation to Vaishnava tradition of Hinduism. He is considered one of the most learned Alvar and the most superior Alvar in the context of composition of verses.
Thirumangai was born in Thirukuraiyalur, a small village in Tamil Nadu. Thirumangai's real name was Kaliyan
He holds the title Narkavi Perumal, the mark of an excellent poet, and Parakala (Beyond Time).
Though he is respected as a Vaishnava saint-poet, he, initially, worked as a military commander, a chieftain and then a robber ...
According to the traditional account, he fell in love with Kumudavalli, a Vaishnava doctor's adopted daughter at a place Thiruvellakkulam (also known as Annan Kovil). She gave a set of conditions that he must become a Vaishnative and that he must feed a thousand for over a year, everyday. During that process, he was so much attracted to Vaishanvism, that he started constructing temple walls for Srirangam. Unable to bear the heavy expense of feeding a thousand people, Kaliyan resorted to highway robbery. One day, he saw a group of people returning from a marriage, with the bride and groom. He and his assistants were able to get all the loot, but the toe ring from the groom was left. He tried to remove them but could not do so. Then he realised the bridegroom was none other than the Supreme god Vishnu himself. Narayana revealed himself to Kaliyan and transformed him by teaching the Narayana mantra or Ashtaksara (the eight syllabled) - "namo narayanaya", turning the robber into a saint and starts singing the first verse of Peria Thirumozhi/ Peria Thirumoli (Vaadinen Vaadi).The temple-god of Thirunaraiyur (Naraiyur Nindra Nambi) - a form of Vishnu - is believed to have initiated Thirumangai into Vaishnavism, by teaching him the pancha samskara.
