A BRIEF LIFE HISTORY OF TYAGARAJA
Tyagaraja

Sitamma on 04th May 1767 CE. During his childhood, he had the traing
of singing from his grandfather Veena Kalahastayya and his mother. Tyagaraja
learned music from Guru Ramakrishnananda, an eminent scholar during that time.
After learning to sing devotional songs, started composing the songs at his
teenage years. He spent most of his time in worshipping Rama idol by composing
Kirthis and singing. The Idol of Rama was given to him by his mother.

He left home and renounced this materialistic
life. He undertook many pilgrimages and his disciples also followed him. It is
believed that he had composed nearly 24000 songs of which only 700 are
survived, which are written by his disciples in palm leaves. Most
of his songs are composed in Telugu on Rama and rarely on Shiva also ( Kovur
