SrI:
SrImathE Gopaladesika mahadesikaya nama:

Dearest all,

Kulasekara PerumAn declares that the bhAgwathas who
cry with bhagavad anubhavam with ecstasy are not to be
considered mad people; In fact Others (the worldly
people ? the materialists) are the mad people.. 

Now let us enjoy the verse: 

moyththukkaNpani sOrameykaLsi
lirppaEngi yiLaiththun^inRu
eyththukkumpidu nattamittezhun^
thaadippaadiyi Rainci,en
aththanassa Nnaranganukkadi
yaar_kaLaaki avanukkE
pittharaamavar piththarallar_kaL
maRRaiyaarmuRRum piththarE              2.9

Constantly thinking of Bhagavaan Sriman Narayanan,
with full of Bhagavad anubhavam; tears rolling down
the cheeks contemplating His leelAs; cherishing His
kalyANa guNAs; the hairs standing on its head (goose
pimples all over the body); the body gets exterted in
the process dancing and singing with joy in praise of
the Lord Sriman Narayanan; prostaring at the Lotus
feet of My Swami Sri Ranganathan of Srirangam- These
devoted God intoxicated bhAgwathas are enslaved and
enchanted by my Swami and are the servants of only
Him; They are mad in love with Him and they are not to
be addressed as mad; in fact it is the other people
(those who run amuck after carnal desires and
materialistic pleasures) are to be called mad- says
Kulasekara AzhwAr. 

One of the first Three AzhwArs (the 3rd AzhwAr-
PeyAzhwAr) is Mahadhaahvayar (peyazhwAr) 

He was called pEy for his parama bhakti for the Lord
and he was
concentrating on Him so much (The intensity is
described as pEy). The intensity of our pEyAzhwAr's
love and bhakti was such that without this bhagavad
anubhavam, he would die like a fish out of water. 
The stages of bhakti are described thus: Parabhakti,
ParajnAna and Paramabhakti. 

Azhagiya Mnavalaperumal nayanar brings out the 3
stages of bhakti in Nammalwar's Thiruvaimozhi. In fact
the concluding part of Acharya Hrudhyam defines these
three terms. [Smt Jayshee Saranathan wrote]
According to AH 4th prakaran -  (230-12 to 234-16)

para bhakti is GYANA -AVASTHAI.(the knowledge)
paragyanam is DHARSHANA-AVASTHAI.(seeing Him)
parama bhakti is PRAAPTHI AVASTHAI. (Reaching Him -
the accomplishment)

Nammalwar can be extensively quoted for his parahakti,
paragyana, parama bhakti. Parabhakti is of course the
cause of his renditions.

Paramabhakthi can be enjoyed in the 'Evaiyum avayum'
series (Thiruvaimozhi 1-9)How the alwar extols the
lord who has come to be in his tongue, eyes, brow,
uchchi etc. -to  top it all - suvaiyan thiruvin
manalan ennudai choozhal ullane)

AH describes the 'kanden' pasurams as containing para
gyanam encompassing parabhakthi. Paramabhakti is
revealed in the series ending with 'andamil'.

Sri Ramanujacharya pleads for these three stages of
bhakti while performing Saranagati at the lotus feet
of Sri Ranganathan. 

Sri Ramanujacharya requests the Lord for Para Bhakti,
Para JnAna and Parama Bhakti and glorifies the Dvaya
Mantram as he formally surrenders to the Lord's Lotus
feet. The Lord grants His Holiness thus: 

dvayamArthAnusandhanEna saha sadaivam vaktA 
yavatsharira  pAthamAthraIva srirangE suKhamAsva" 
(Remain in Srirangam engaged in constant recitation of
the Dvaya Mantram until thy body falls to the earth).
