Dear Bhagavadhas, Adiyen has heard about a lot of sam-keertanais from various poets in the Telugu/Andrha region, like Annamacharyar, Thyagarajar and also like Purandaradasar from Kannade etc. These poets were not just sangeetha vidwans composing a song based on their music knowledge. These poets were pretty much similar to the Azhwars and composed 1000s of sam-keertanais only because of the blessings of the lord. Why are these people not included in our sampradayam(I know they lived in the post-Ramanuja period)? Any specific reasons, like, they differed in the philosophy or probably they did not stick to Lord Shriman Narayana etc? Also, why the Shashtriya Sangeetham was never practised in our sampradayam(kindly exclude the modern day vaishnavites). What adiyen mean is that, may be it was practised, but was not prominent. Does any one have any idea about this? Also, do we still have the various ragas and talas that Shriman Nathamunigal composed for all the Divya Prabandhams? Is it practised or taught anywhere? Sarva Aparaadhaan Kshamasva. Adiyen, Ramanuja Dasan.
