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.
