“ Kanti akhilanda kartha nadhikuni kanti, kanti naghamulu veedukonti nijamUti Kanti” (I found the creator of this universe I am cleaned off all my sins and I saw the real god) is another composition that is believed to have come out when he saw the idol at Tirumala. Throughout his works AnnamachArya like a historian documented the fauna, flora, temples, architecture and rituals of the world famous temple town Tirumala. Similarly, another kriti, “ Brahma kadigina pAdamu Brahmamu tAnenI pAdamu” (in rAGA Mukhari these feet are worshipped by Brahma (creator) and, these themselves are Brahman (superior lord)”, was composed when he first visited the idol. One of his famous compositions “ adivO alladivO shri harivAsamu, PadivElA sEshula padagala mayamu” (In rAga MadhyamAvati, There it is! The abode of ShrI Hari with the 10000 heads to Adisesha) is said to have come out spontaneously when he first saw the mountain range of Tirumla hills. His mind was so focused on Lord VEnkatEshwara, that one day when asked by his father to bring some fodder from the family farm, he completely forgot about his chores and followed a group pilgrims traveling to Tirumala. He began composing kritis at a young age of 16yrs. He is regarded as “ Pada kavitA pitAmaha” (Grand sire of simple poetry). The TALLapAka clan included many eminent scholars of Telugu and Sanskrit languages, poets, and music composers among who AnnamachAya was the most accomplished. On (VaishAkha shukla pournami), it will be the 598 th birth anniversary of this outstanding poet scholar. More importantly, during his lifetime he composed 32,000 kritis which far exceed those of Purandara and the trinity combined. Whether one believes these descriptions or not, it is clear that SrI tALLaAka Annamaacharya certainly created a new niche and style in the Telugu poetry and the Bhakti literature, provided guidelines for his followers such as Purandara DAsa, the highly revered Carnatic trinity, TyagarAja, Muthuswamy dIkshita and ShyAma Sastry. Like a dagger cuts off the deadwood, AnnamAchArya’s compositions (samkIrtanas) and other works have worked as essential tools in eliminating ignorance and imparting Bhakti in the hearts of people. In this case vishNu’s dagger Nandaka is said to have incarnated as SrI Annamacharya. In kaliyuga to set a course of salvation and to set righteous path for humans, vishNu’s associates are thought to have taken forms of human beings.

During Kaliyuga (current age), vishNu is believed to have taken the form of srI vEnkatEshwara (srInivAsa/bAlAji) and resides on the hills of Tirumala, near the town of Tirupati, in Andhra Pradesh, India.
