A philosophical folksong called "Tandana padam" preachs equality among all the individuals.
Background :
St. Annamacharya condemned the differences of caste and creed. He adopted a folk-form; "Tandana Padam" which is sung with a folk instrument called "Dappu" to propagate the Truth of equality of all human beings and to prove that lord does not really show any diffences among his devotees with respect to caste, creed, age, sex, social status, etc... and blesses them according to their devotion.
The most imortant vakyam in this kirtana is "andariki sreeharE antaraatma", meaning that lord sreehari resides in everybody's heart, as antaryami paramatma, including animals and beasts. this coincides with the upanishad vakyam " sarvam vishnumayam jagat". here, annamarcharya indirectly says that knowing that lord sri hari resides in all of us as antaryami and attaining him is the sole purpose of human life (atma saakshatkaaram).
Jai Srimannaryana !
