Welcome to Adiyen Sri Ramanuja Dasan !
" Srimathe Ramanujaya Namaha !"
6) He sang only for the pleasure of the Almighty and to convey the message for the upliftment of mankind, unmindful of materialistic gains.
7) Through the purity of His "SANKEERTANAMANTRAS" (SANKEERTANA = Devotional songs, MANTRAS = Coined group of divine words which yield various results when uttered for a prescribed period)
8) Knowing the greatness and spiritual power of Annamacharya,King SALUVANARASINGARAYA offers a respectable position of a GURU (teacher) to Annamacharya in his royal court.
9) One day saint sings a song in the tradition of "MADHURA BHAKTI" (madhurabhakti is a kind of devotion in which the devotee becomes a Heroine and worships the Lord as his own beloved Hero)on the request of the king.
10) Allured by the apparent romantic meaning of the song,king asks the saint to sing similar composition on himself.The saint says that he can only sing the glory of the Lord and not the human.
11) The Ego of the King gets hurt and he chains the saint with shakles and imprisons Him.The saint sings a song thinking of Lord VENKATESHWARA with agony. As a result of the spiritual power in his song the chains get broken.
12) The king asks for the pardon and requests Him to stay on in his court .The Saint advises the king that he should not insult the devotees as the god himself gets hurt.
13) Annamacharya leaves the royal court for Thirumala,the court of VENKATESHWARA.Annamacharya introduces many "SEVAS"(services)" to the"Lord VENKATESHWARA" at"Tirumala Temple" and propagated His philosophy & glory through his"SANKEERTANAS".
14) Annamacharya reached the holy abode of lord in sreevaikuntam in 1503AD. According to telugu calender the month is "PHALGUNAM",theTithi(A day in a month according to the position of the Moon) is "BAHULA DWADASI".
Srimad adhivaan sathagopa jeeyar was the spititual master (guru) for the famous vaggEyakaara sri tallapaaka annamaacharya, who composed 32,000 kirthanas on the lord.
There are mainly 3 reasons, why the saint composer sri anamaacharya composed 32,000 kirthanas. firstly the mantram , which he received from his guru, srivan adhivaan sathagopa jeeyar swami, had 32 beejaaksharams. and secondly, in the nrusimha kavacham rendered by bakta pralada (found in brahmaanda purana), there is a verse, which says that,
" sarva mangala mangalyam bakti muktimcha vindathi;
dwa trishanthi sahasraani patEth suddatmaanam nrunam"
meaning that a person will get liberated, if he chants this nrusimha kavacham, 32,000 times.
and thirdly, there are 32 self manifested temples for lord sri narasimha swamy in thi sbaratha varsham. this may be also one of the reason for saint composer annamaacharya to compose 32,000 kritis on lord.
Hence, we can come to an opinion that these kinds of things whould have made saint annamacharya to compose 32,000 kritis on lord sreeventakeshwara, most of them are composed to glorify lord narasimhadeva of ahobilam and other divyadesams.
Jai Srimannaryana !
