Sanatana Dharma made universally accessible annamacharya keertans : IRS officer Shailendra

Tirupati, May 16 (UN I) : “The essence of Sanatana Dharma and its cultural values are made accessible even to common people through Annamaiah Sankeertans”, said IRS officer and Assistant Director of Income Tax, KSA Sesha Shailendra, here on Friday.
Delivering an insightful lecture on the topic "Annamacharya Keertans - The Path of Nava Vidha Bhakti" held as part of the ongoing 617th birth anniversary celebrations of Saint Poet Sri Tallapaka Annamacharya, here, Shailendra elaborated how Annamacharya, through his Keertans, encapsulated various phases, emotions, and experiences of human life while promoting all nine forms of devotion — Shravanam , Keertanam, Archana, Smaranam, Vandanam, Padasevanam, Atma Nivedanam, Sakhyam, and Daasyam — as paths to attain Dharma and devotion.
Earlier in the day, noted scholar Gauripeddi Venkata Shankara Bhagavan spoke on “Annamaiah Keertans – Message of the Bhagavad Gita.”
He termed Annamacharya not only a spiritual poet but also a master of personality development.
Ponna Krishnamurthy, another eminent scholar from Tirupati, presented a lecture on “Social Awakening and Path to Liberation in Annamayya Keerthanas.”
On this occasion, Shailendra also released a Braille edition containing 956 Keerthanas of Annamacharya, specially designed for the visually impaired.
The book was developed by Dr. Bagepalli Eeshwari, a Tambura artist in the Annamacharya Project.
In the evening, under the aegis of the Annamacharya Project, a musical concert by veteran singer B. Raghunath and team, and a Harikatha performance by Ms V. Prameela and troupe from Tirupati, are scheduled to impress art lovers.
