Ours is a Punya Bhoomi wherein holy rivers and sacred plaes of worship congregate. The 15 th century was indeed a blessed one since it was in this period SRI ANNAMAACHARYA the great sanctified the cuddapah village in Andhra Pradesh with his incarnation. History has no parallel wherein as much as 32,000 kirtanas have been composed by an individual ANNAMAYYA, the great only one can do it. The MUSIC TRINITY SAINT Thyagaraja., Muthuswami Dikshithar and SHYAMA SASTRY who came after Annamayya and sanctified the Carnatic Music world followed Annamayya in composing their songs expanding Pallavi,Anupallavi and charanam. Subramania Bharathi described Telugu as Sundara Telugu with a nectar of serenity attained peakless heights in the compositions of Annamayya.

Annamayya at the tender age of 7 dedicated Himself to lord Sri Venkateswara and the Divine Mother Alamelu Mangai and his pristine compositions opoured with beauty and Divinity at the feet of the lord

And His Consort. In the Pragarams of Srirangam temple at the main entrance at Kancheepuram Sri Varadarajar temple the imprints of Annamayya add charming beauty. To ensure the different Sevas to the lord were done unterruptedly,keeping the holy tradition, Annamayya ensured fomation of the Trust and

Entrusted the proper conduct of same to his descendants. To thisd date the Sevas like Naamasankirthanam, Kalyaana Uthsavam, Ekantha Seva are properly conducted by the Annamayya*s descendants. Despite monetary constraints, there has been no let up in the proper observance of these offerings. The glory of Lord Sri Venkateswara the unparallelled works of Annamayya, the Great will continue to bless the mankind as long as the Sun and the MOON SHINED. G\GOVINDA GOVINDA
