Guitarmonk wishes “Tyāgarāja” a warm greeting and remembrance on his birthday today. He was one of the greatest composers of Carnatic music or classical South Indian Music. He was a prolific composer and highly influential in the development of the South Indian classical music tradition. Tyagaraja composed thousands of devotional compositions, most of them in praise of Lord Rama — most of which remain very popular even today. Of special mention are five of his compositions called the Pancharatna Krithis (English: ‘five gems’), which are often sung in programs in his honor.
