THYAGARAJA |
|
|
Sri Rama appeared
to him and said: "My son! You have yet to take another birth before reaching moksha.
If however you
take sanyasa now you can reach moksha because Sanyasa is a rebirth."Hearing it Thyagaraja embraced sanyasa in the prescribed manner and a
week later on the fifth day of the dark half of
Pausha month he reached God while singing the Lord's praise.
Today the samadhi of this great patron- saint of Carnatic music is a centre of pilgrimage
to all musicians and music lovers.
Every year his aradhana is celebrated on this day in December in a grand manner. All
Carnatic musicians take part in this festival. |
