Sri Tyagaraja, the eighteenth-century saint musician of south India, has a permanent place in Indian history and culture. He was not only a musical genius but a saint who had the vision of God and who sang His praise in sweet melody. His songs were composed in Telugu, his mother tongue. This book, written and compiled by the late C. Ramanujachari, gives a valuable description of the saint?s life and contains translations of all of his known songs.
If a piece of burning charcoal be placed on a man's head, see how he struggles to throw it off. Similar will be the struggle for freedom of those who really understand that they are slaves of nature.
