Translations of
Krithitis of Annamayya-The Prapithamaha
of Carnatic Music
By
P.R.Ramachander
Tallpaka Annamacharya
lived between 1408 to 1503 and
is supposed to have composed 32000 krithis mostly in Telugu
and few in Sanskrit and out of them 12000 are
now available to us .When we
know that Purandara dasa , the pithamaha of Carnatic music lived between 1484 to 1564, without any hesitation we should call Annamacharya as
the Prapitha Maha (Great grand father ) of Carnatic music. Most of his
songs are in praise of Lord Venkidachalapathy of Thirupathi
. It was always my dream to get
at least a few of his great krithis translated in to english ,Some how I was not
able to do it and was feeling
very bad about it.
God decided to help me
. IN the middle of may one
Ms Shaila Chandra contacted
me and said that one of her
great talents was translation
.She told me she was from Hyderabad and I
requested her to help me to translate
Annammayya Songs .She agreed and translations are daily
pouring from her .Within these 25
days she has translated 26 songs and they are available to you for reading(Some of them you can hear being
sung also)
May we all bless her
for the commendable job of
translating the works of our
Prapithamaha
