Dear all,
  I personally know at least one great Bhagavata, by name Smt.Sarojini Devi, 
belonging to this Trivarnika Ramaanuja kootam ( Stree Samajam ) from 
Visakhapatnam, coming from a very famous Jewellar's family, who  did yomen 
service for the propogation of Divya-Prabandha PaaraayaNam on a regular basis.
  They invited Tamil speaking Vaishnavas to their kootam and almost all of them 
learnt the 4000 pasurams in 6 years.
  I do not know why it is called Traivarnika, and was limited only to people 
with Yajnopaveeta samskaram, as Divya-Prabandham is open for chatur-varnas.
  It is usual practise at Simhachalam in the 1960s and 1970s, when Sri 
Varadaachaari swami was there, to have prabandha paaraayaNam on a regular basis.
  Nellore Sri Ranganatha Swamy Devasthaanam also has regular Prabandha 
paaraayaNam.
  Many Sri Vaishnava Temples in Andhra Pradesh are doing Regular Prabandha 
paaraayaNam.
   
  Sri Nammazhwar Tiruvadigale SaraNam.
  adiyen,
  Venkat Kanumalla.

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.
