Dear Sriman Dhivakar,

visakhapatnam city very close to Simhachalam divya kshEtram, close to 
the heart of Acharya Ramanuja.

I heard that divya prabandham was first printed in Telugu script.
In previous centuries (18th or 19th - dont know), there was an 
Acharya called Karpuram Pattappa swami who popularized Bhagavad 
Vishayam cutting across caste lines.

Recting divya prabandham is a daily ritual in the Srivaishnava 
temples of Andhra and Karnataka. Like in Tamil Nadu, in these places 
also qualified and interested people are not available to take up 
this kainkaryam.

traders. But their elders are well versed in vedaas & agamas. Along 
with this, they are trained to learn Tamil Dhivyaprabhandams. Their 
women- folk, especially, are well trained in Dhivya prabandha 
paasuram to sing in traditional rhythm. But their mother tongue is 
TELUGU. Except pasurams of Alwars, they do not speak Tamil and even 
pasurams also written in Telugu words.
