Shri Tyagaraja
Shri Tyagaraja was born in South India on 4. May 1767, in Tiruvarur, Tamil Nadu. He was an ardent devotee of Shri Rama on whom he composed countless Krti’s (highly creative vocal compositions). Shri Tyagaraja is highly cherished as one of the three great master composers of Carnatic Music. He explored the world of Ragas and composed music with intricate rhythmic structure.
Shri Tyagarajas contribution to mankind:
The fabric of spiritual unity is reinforced from time to time by the presence and influence of poets, philosophers and saintly singers whose contributions have sustained this undivided trust. Shri Tyagaraja was one such saint whose music and spirituality provided a welcome alternative at a time when people were losing faith and connection to their tradition in a chaotic political and social situation. The music of Shri Tyagaraja was an important link that ensured the continuity of culture and tradition as well as the revival of faith. It is said that he composed more than 20,000 songs, of which about 700 have survived the time. Hundreds of his compositions are still sung and played today. They are not only musical masterpieces, but also full of spiritual depth and content. His compositions are mainly devotional and philosophical in nature.
