Tirupati: TTD executive officer M.G. Gopal said that the temple management of Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanam (TTD) will speed up the recording of thousands of keertans penned by Saint Poet Sri Tallapaka Annamacharya through SV Recording Project.
He was addressing the inaugural session of the Ãnnamaiah Sankeertanalu-Telugu Sahitya Vaibhavam in Sri Padmavathi Women’s Degree College in Tirupati organised jointly by the college and Annamacharya Project on Wednesday. He said the Annamacharya Project established in 1978, has so far recorded around 1,600 keertans.
“But as we have divided SV Recording project into two divisions to speedup the activity of recording the impeccable songs penned by the great saint poet,” he added.
Founder director of Annamacharya Project K. Srinivasulu said the uniqueness of the songs of Annamacharya has three characteristics of language, essence and emotion. These songs were brought to the light with the efforts of late Sadhu Subrahmanya Shastry, Veturi Prabhakara Shastry, Rallapalli Anan-thakrishna Sharma and Gaurupeddi Ramasubba Sharma.
Annamayya songs have a separate jargon of its own and he immortalised the richness of Telugu with his slang, he added.
