Tyaagaraaja -
Among the most famous of Carnatic composers and considered the greatest of the Carnatic music trinity, he was the third son born to RAmabrahmam and SItamma in 1767. His grandfather was GirirAja Kavi, a great Sanskrit poet. He began his musical training in 1782 under Sonti VenkaTarAmanayya and learned a number of songs from his mother. He lost his first wife but married Kamalamba in 1790. In 1802, he was invited to perform at his teacher's house before a select group of musicians - he sang bilahari and then the kriti "Dorukuna ituvanTi." At anotehr time, he sang at the request of his guru, beginning at 8 p.m. and finishing only at 4 a.m. Serfoji Maharaja heared of his performance and invited him to visit the temple to be rewarded, but TyAgarAja rejected the offer, singing "Nidhi cAla sukhama?" in kalyANi, which means Does abundance of wealth bring happiness? The king realized his mistake and visited the saint-composer, who cured him of a stomachache. In 1805 TyAgarAja lost an idol of RAma, thrown into the river Cauvery by his brother, but got it back after 3 months. When he lost the idol, he sang sadly "Endu dAgi nAdo," Where has He gone and hidden Himself? TyAgarAja usually went from strIt to strIt singing and begging for rice. Once a sage named Haridas asked him to recite the name of RAma 960 million times. After doing so, TyAgarAja went to offer his prayer when he heard a knock on his dUr. RAma, SIta, and HanumAn were entering his prayer rUm and he was blessed to sI the coronation of RAma. Moved with wonder and devotion, he sang "BAlakanagamaya" (the anupallavi of the kritis "Ela nI dayarAdhu" and "Bhavanuta"). In 1810 his daughter was married, and his disciple WalajapeTTai Vekataramana BhAgavatar brought a picture of RAma, walking all the way from WalajapeTTai to TiruvaiyAr. TyagarAja sang "Nannu pAlimpa," overwhelmed by this act. Once he visited Tirupati, but when he went to the temple, it was closed. In sadness, he sang "TeratiyagarAdA" and the temple officials gathered round in admiration when they saw the dorr opening by itself and the scrIn falling aside. He sang "VenkaTEsha ninu sEvimpa" in his happiness at sIing the Lord. TyAgarAja's compositions include the Ghana RAga Pancaratnam (5 gems) in rAgams nATTai, gowLa, Arabi, shrIrAgam, and varALi, his most famous and scholarly contributions to Carnatic music, and he delighted in singing them. At the request of KOvUr Sundaram MudaliAr, he sang the 5 kritis of the KOvar Pancaratnam. When he visited TiruvOTTiyUr at the request of his disciple VInai Kuppayyar, he sang the TiruvOTTiyUr Pancaratnam. At the invitation of his disciple LAlguDi RAmayya, he composed the LAlguDi Pancaratnam. He also composed the ShrIranga Pancaratnam in praise of RanganAta of ShrIrangam and 5 kritis in praise of Sage NArada. His numerous kritis include beautiful rAgam, bhAvam and tALam, with lovely lyrics, music, and devotion. 690 kritis in 160 rAgams are available today. In 1847 TyAgarAja became a hermit, and the next day, on January 6, he died in the presence of his disciples at the age of 80.

Music as Devotion (Nadopasana) :

Thyagaraja, one among the famous Carnatic Music Trinity is yet another saint composer of Andhra Pradesh who hails from the Kakarla Village of Kurnool district. Thyagaraja admired Bhakta Ramdas for his staunch devotion and also adopted him as his role model. This is evident from the various kritis through which he tends to pay his tribute to Ramdas whom he even refers to as a sage and himself as the Dasa of Ramadas. Inspite of his being a devotee of Rama he is known to have made around 800 compositions on all the Hindu deities most of them written in his mother tongue Telugu but for a few in Sanskrit. In his compositions Thyagaraja adopted Ramdas’ style of Anubhavam of Sri Rama. The only thing that appealed to Thyagaraja were Music and devotion, which remain synonymous to him who held belief in Nadopasana.
The works of the saint, who can be said to given a direction to Indian Music next to Purandaradasa, can be spoken of only in superlatives and even they sometimes seem inadequate to convey the exquisite beauty of his art. His compositions generally are confined to simple Tala (rhythms) like Adi, Triputa and Rupaka, which add beauty to his style. His command in the literary pursuit of both Telugu and Sanskrit have also given them a rare felicity and homeliness. Through his compositions the Saint tends to drive home great truths at ease with extreme simplicity.
Thyagaraju’s Pancha ratna Keertanas in ragas of Nata, Gaula, Arabhi, Varali and Sri along with his other compositions in slower tempos with finer nuances of text and music do more than depict his mastery of design and structure. A beautiful elaboration introduced by him was the "Sangathi" as a built-in part of his kriti.

Thyagaraja Keertanas :Being a staunch devotee of Lord Rama, the only things that mattered to Thyagaraju were Music and devotion, which were synonymous for him who believed in Nadopasana. Among his thousands of compositions are the immortal Pancha ratna Kritis –
Endaro mahanubhavulu… (Lyric)
Duduku gala nanne dora koduku brochura… (Lyric)
Jagadananda karaka… (Lyric)
Kana kana ruchira… (Lyric)
Sadhinchene o manasa… (Lyric)
( Click to hear the audio of the Keertana )
Next of reverence is the thought provoking Keertana suggestive of the incomparability of the divine pleasure derived out of devotion and that from materialistic pleasures sung after declining the request of the King is one of great reverence -
Nidhi chala sukhama… Ramuni sannidhi sukhama…
Few among the other compositions include –
Dorakuna Ituvanti Seva...
Gandhamu puyaruga...
Koluvai yunnade…
Marugelara oo raghava…
Nagumomu kanaleni…
Nanu palimpa nadachi vachchitivo…
Samaja vara gamana…
Sangeeta gnyanamu bhaktivina…
Santamu leka soukhyamu ledu…
Seetamma mayamma, Sri Ramudu ma tandri…
Sita kalyana vaibhogame…
Apart from these he also composed the utsava sampradaya keertanas and divya nama sankeertanas, which are sung in devotional congregations. Majority of his compositions including the two operas of Prahlada Bhakti Vijayam and Nauka Charitram are in Telugu while others in Sanskrit. All these compositions seem to establish one fact that " the one and only purpose of music ,..is moksha sadhana."
Today the samadhi of this great patron-saint is a centre of pilgrimage to all the musicians and music lovers and "Thyagaraja Aradhana Utasavams" are celebrated all over by the Carnatic musicians in the month of December every year. Here at Hyderabad the festival is celebrated in grace chiefly at the Thyagaraya Gana Sabha.

Thyagaraju's Life :
Thyagaraju hails from a Telugu family belonging to Kakarla village in Kurnool district Andhra Pradesh who have migrated to Thiruvaiyaru of Tamilnadu during the Vijayanagara Empire due to the invasion from the North. He was born to the couple of Kakarla Ramabrahmam and Santhamma on Sarvajit Chaitra Soma Sukla Saptami in Pushyami star that fell on the 4th of May. There however is a controversy as to his year of birth as to whether it is 1767 or 1759.
Named after the presiding deity of Thiruvarur, Thyagaraju had inculcated the habit of worshipping Lord Rama under the instructions of his father. At the age of 13, Thyagaraju composed his first song "Namo Namo Raghavaya…" on Lord Rama. Thyagaraju unlike his brother was a genius both in literature and musical perspective. Apart from his mother tongue, he also studied Sanskrit and Astrology and was a disciple of Sonthi Venkataramanayya, one of the foremost singers of the day. He is said to have been preached of Rama Taraka Mantra by the divine sage Narada in his dream.
To him Music and devotion were synonymous and thus have composed a huge number of songs including those, which he has composed while on the pilgrimages all through his lifetime of 88 years. He who thus believed in Nadopasana and the concept of complete surrender to Him whom he called Rama, lived on "Uncha Vritti", a sacred way of collecting alms for one’s livelihood. He is also known to have rejected the king’s offer for singing in his praise as he declined Narastuti (praising human) after singing eulogies for the Almighty.
At the age of 18, he got married to a girl called Parvati who soon died without leaving any children. He then married her sister Kanakamba. They had a daughter named Sitamahalakshmi, through whom he had a grandson who died with no progeny and thus came to an end the direct lineage of the composer. And his disciples were thus the only propagators of his compositions.
Tyagabrahmam took sanyasa towards the end of his life on the advice of Sri Rama and attained samadhi on Pushya Bahula Panchami (6th January 1847) as he is believed to have been blessed with Moksha by Lord Rama. He says in one of the most moving songs, "Unerringly I saw Sri Rama installed on the hill...Thrilled with ecstasy, with tears of joy, I tried to speak. He promised to bless me in five days." And so it happened.
