However, Periyalwar introduces a novel perspective where the devotee sees himself as a caring mother and the Lord as his beloved child. This unique portrayal of Krishna-Consciousness, discussed in the chapter \"Krishna-Consciousness\" of this text, presents a fresh approach to the traditional Bhakti movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"778\" data-end=\"1044\"\u003eThe other six chapters of the book explore Periyalwar's works from religious, literary, and philosophical perspectives, emphasizing his contributions to Tamil literature. This text highlights how Periyalwar's immortal poems have enriched Tamil literary traditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1046\" data-end=\"1389\"\u003eM. P.
