SrI:
 
Dear BhakthAs :
 
Sri Narayana Theertha was orn in 1675 at Guntur , AP
and attained the Lord's sacred feet at Thrippoonthurutthi ,
 a village tat is 13 KM away from Tanjore .
 
Sri Narayana Theertha is considered as the South Indian JayadEva .
He is known for his  Maadhurya Bhakthi for KrishNa , which found its
outlet as waves of KrishNaanubhavam as enshrined in the Tenth Canto
of Srimath Bhaagavatham .
 
Sri Narayana Theertha's samarpaNam is known as Sri KrishNa Leelaa
TarangiNi with 12 TarangAs with 147 KeerthanAs , 267 slOkaas , 30 Gadhyaas ,
and 30 derus . The composer used 36 RaagAs including Aahiri , Manjari , DhvijAvanthi ,
Karnataka SaarangA , Gowri , MaaLavi et al .
 
All of his compositions are in Sanskrit . These keerthanAs were composed in front
of Lord Venkatesa Sannidhi . HanumAr is said to have the time beat to Sri Narayana
Theertthar's compositions . When the TaaLam stopped , it was an indication of 
the Lord not accepting that particular Keerthanam . That song was not included 
in the list of Keerthanams . There was a curtain in front of  Lord VenakatEsA's
sannidhi . Sri NaarAyaNa Theertha sat in front of that curtain and offered 
His SamarpaNam for the Lord to give the message of acceptance .
 
In February of each year , there is a three day musical event 
to reenact Sri KrishNa LeelA TarangiNi in the Bhaagavatha MeLa 
Style . Many muscians take part and keep the Memory of 
Sri KrishNa Tarangini alive for future generations ,
 
The image of the powerful VenkatEsa at Varahur can be accessed at :

One interesting incident that led to the arrival of Sri NarayaNa Yathi to
Varahur is connected with the stomach ache that he experienced on his trip
to Tanjore . He suffered and slept at a temple near Varahur . In his dream ,
the Lord appeared and asked him to follow  the first moving thing , which he
meets next morning . It happened that Sri Narayana Theerthar met a white 
boar , which ran in front of him to follow .As the Boar arrived at the Temple
of Lord Venkatesa at VarahUr , it disappeared . The Yathi recognized the play
of the divine hand and settled down at the village of VarahUr and entered into
Jeeva SamAdhi under a Mango tree at Thirupponthurtthi village . 
 
You can access the individual songs of Sri KrishNa LeelA TarangiNi
as sung by great Carnatic Musicians . A Google search will connect you
to these Keetthanams .
 
NamO SrI VenkatEsAya ,
