600th Birthday Celebration of Sri Annamacharya
Sunday May 18, 2008, 11:00 AM
Sri Tallapaka Annamacharya (1408-1503) the saint composer of the 15th century is the earliest known musician of South India to compose songs called “sankIrtanas” in praise of Lord Venkateswara, the deity of Seven Hills in Tirumala, India where unbroken worship is being offered for over 12 centuries. Annamcharya is believed to be the incarnation of Lord Venkateswara' s. nandaka (Sword).
During his long life, Annamacharya composed and sang 32,000 Sankirtanas, 12 Satakas (sets of hundred verses), Ramayana in the form of Dwipada,SsankIrtana Lakshanam (Characteristics of sankIrtanas), Sringaara Manjari, and Venkatachala Mahatmamyam. All his songs and works were in Telugu, Sanskrit and a few other languages of India.
Sri Annamacharya' s compositions are known for linguistic simplicity and rhythmic couplets called Dwipadis. He brought the Supreme truth of Vedas to the common man and enlightened the masses.
Please join us and pay your tributes to revered composer and saint.
We request those who want to sing on this occasion to sing songs exclusively by Annamacharya.
