Alwars have proved it. Their songs are so simple to understand [if tamil language is known] and are equivalent to Vedas and Upanishads. Prema and Bakthi together leads to salvation.

Each soul is a vaishnava. Another surprising aspect to be noted in Madhurakavi Azhvar's approach is, all other Azhvars had their focus on the Ultimate Lord. But, Madhurakavi's focus was to treat Nammalvar greater than the Ultimate. The interaction between Namalvar and Madhurakavi Alvar was amazing, and known. Sri Madhurakavi Azhvar had written only 11 pasurams. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Prepare yourself before entering the temple. Prostrate paying obeisance to all devotees of the Lord.

Each soul is a vaishnava. Prepare yourself before entering the temple. It is essential to take bath, wear neat clothes, wear tilak based on the sampradaya/path you follow.

Azhvars: More on Azhvars...
http://alwargal.blogspot.com/2009/03/more-on-alwars.html

Sri Andal got married to the Lord himself and Vishnuchita was then called as Perialwar for being 'Father-in-law' to the Lord himself. Is the incarnation of the divine conch. Of the Lord called Panchajanyam. Poigai meaning pond. This Alwar was said to be born from a pond. Hence the name poigai Alwar. Of the Lord called Nandaki.
