Annamacharya
Sri Tallapaka Annamacharya (శ్రీ తాళ్ళపాక అన్నమాచార్య) or Annamayya (May 9, 1408-February 23, 1503) was a a Telugu song-writer and Carnatic composer. He is said to have composed as many as 32,000 sankeertanas on Lord Venkateswara, of which only about 13000 are obtainable today. His sankeertanas (songs) are of two kinds - spiritual and erotic, the majority being erotic in nature. He dwells on the subjects of morality, Dharma, righteousness, etc. in his spiritual songs. His erotic songs worship Lord Venkateswara by describing his amorous and romantic adventures, a tradition now known as Madhura Bhakti. Most of these songs describe the adventures of Venkateswara and Alamel Manga, while others describe the Bhakti of Krishna's devotees. Annamacharya considered his compositions as floral offerings to God. In the poems, he praises Venkateswara, describes his love for him, argues and quarrels with the Lord, confesses the devotee's failures and apprehensions, and surrenders himself to Venkateshwara. His choice of words gives a mellifluous tone to his songs, charming the listener.Free Downloads (100s of songs)
