Tirumala Tirupathi Devasthanam (TTD) has decided to bring out all Annamaiah songs in 29 volumes in the next two years. Majority of the Sankeertanas of Annamacharya were dedicated to Venkateswara, Sri Rama Chandra and Anjaneya, TTD Executive Officer AV Dharma Reddy said while addressing at the valedictory function of the week long 614th Annamacharya Jayanti fete held at Annamacharya kalamandiram here on Sunday evening.
Though we have designed music for 4000 to 4500 sankeertanas we don’t know their meaning. So we started this great work which started in 1922 and became a reality in 2022 almost after 100 years with the blessings of Lord Venkateswara, he asserted. He also thanked all the stalwarts who strived to bring out Artha Tatparyam for 512 Sankeertanas in the first volume.
“Though the TTD has been doing a lot of activities as a tribute to the saint-poet including organizing his Jayanti and Vardhanti fete in a big manner, rendering Annamacharya Sankeertans everyday at Nada Neerajanam and Sahasra Deepalankara Seva, naming a meeting hall after Padakavita Pitamaha and many more, some vested interests were trying to malign the image of the TTD by spreading false news that we have ignored saint poet Annamacharya.”
TTD has being doing a lot of activities as a tribute to the great saint poet including organizing his Jayanthi and vardhanti fetes in a big manner rendering Annamacharya meeting hall named after Padakavita Pitamaha, he said that many more some vested interests ignored Annamacharya which is absolutely baseless.
Later, the EO complimented Grandhi Ramesh, a donor from Visakhapatnam, who came forward to print the book. Annamacharya Project director Dr A Vibhishana Sharma, scholars Dr Samudrala Lakshmanaiah, Dr Syamalananda Prasad, Sri Sarvottama Rao, Sri Varaprasad, and Dr G Balakrishna Prasad were also present.
