SrI:

Dear Sri Dixit :

Your Message is most welcome and appropriate .
As the beloved SishyA of HH Sri Aadhi VaNN SaThakOpa
Jeeyar , Sri AnnamAchArya's NaadhOpAsanai about
the Lord Of Thirumalai and HIs divine Consort , Sri AlarmEl mangai
and AchArya Bhakthi reached heights of glory .

You are so right in pointing out the need to include
an avathAra Purushar , Sri Annamayyaa, whose music
reverberates across the seven hills even today and beyond
wherever bhakthAs of Lord SrinivAsa assemble .

NamO VenkatEsAya ,
V.Sadagopan

P.S : Please write about the krithis of Saint Annamayyaa
in Oppiliappan and Raama Bhakthi Lists . You probaly
are familiar with the excellent monograph by Professor
M.NarasimhAchAry , Editor of Sri Nrusimha PriyA about
Saint AnnamAchAryA's contributions to VisishtAdhAvaitham
released by TTD . Here Prof. M.N Swamy maps the thoughts of
Saint Annamyyaa to selected  Paasurams of AzhwArs .

Please cover the rare krithis , where Saint AnnamayyA salutes
His AchAryan , Sri Adhi VaNN SaThakOpa Jeeyar . Thanks .

> Not much is known about Annamacharya and his

> PrathivAdhi Bhayankaram Annan, etc that
> SreeVaishnavism flourished once again in the 15th
> century. His sankirtanas were hidden in a rock cell in

>
> Out of his 32,000 kirtanas,14000 are available, and
> not one is on any other deity than Sriman Narayana.
> The only kirtanas which are not on Narayana are a few
> on Ramanuja, who was Annamacharyas 'Speaking God' (as
> he calls him) and one was on SRi SRi Adivan Satakopa
> Jeer.

> Every sankirtana is faithfully adherent to the
> commandments of Ramanuja. You will be surprised to

> M.S Subbulakshmi has rendered some excellent
> sankirtanas of Annamacharya in the balaji
> pancharatnamala series. The notable ones are:
> 1) Tolliyunu Marraku- kirtana on Srirangam Ranganatha
> 2) Vande Vasudevam- kirtana sung in praise of kanchi
> Varadaraja
> 3)Sriman Narayana- a kirtana based on the Dvayam
> 4)Bhavamu Lona- a kirtana summarizing the supremacy of
> Sriman Narayana
> 5) Entamatramuna- a kirtana declaring that the deity
> at Tirumala is none other than Lord Narayana
>
> Please listen to these songs carefully and analyze the

> sadly, his name is always left out. I feel that it is
