About Tiruppavai
The Tiruppavai is a poem of 30 songs, composed by
Andal, the only lady 
Alvar of the twelve Alvars whose compositions of
devotion and mystic 
experiences, put together is termed as Nalayira Divya
Prabandam 
(4000 divine hymns). Tiruppavai consists of two words
namely Tiru meaning 
Sacred, Holy, Auspicious and Pavai meaning vow and
also a girl. Thus 
Tiruppavai is a poetic description of a sacred vow
taken by a girl. The 
theme of Tiruppavai is spiritual awakening of an
individual soul, which 
then yearns for the Divine Union. This great poem of
30 songs is sung in 
the month of Maargazi (mid December ? mid January),
auspicious to Lord 
Krishna. Also, in Srivaishnava tradition of
Bhagavadaaraadhanaa 
(Lord?s worship) done at homes and temples, the last
two songs of 
Tiruppavai are sung at the end.

About Tiruvempavai
The Tiruvempavai is a poem of 20 songs (hymns),
composed by Manikavachagar, 
one of sixty-three Saiva saints known as Nayanmars,
while at 
Tiruvannamalai in South India. Like the Tiruppavai,
the Tiruvempavai
hymns occupy a special place in the Maargazhi worship
services. 
The theme of Tiruvempavai is about the spiritual
awakening of the 
individual soul (jeevatman) to seek union with the
Paramatman and is 
directed at Lord Siva as an intense prayer for the
fulfillment of this 
heart-felt desire of the yearning Jeevatman.
