THYAGARAJA |
|
| Waking up,
Thyagaraja felt very happy to have the darshan of Narada and have him as his Guru. He took out the book given by Narada and started reading it. He sang the praise of the Guru for his infinite grace. After this event Thyagaraja went to the temple with his wife and repeated the Taraka mantra over a lakh of times every day. Within a short time he completed uttering the mantra to a staggering total of 96 million times which he dedicated to the Lord. As a result of it Sri Rama Himself appeared before him in the company of Sita, Lakshmana and Hanuman and blessed him. Thyagaraja broke into rapturous songs on seeing them. Year after year Thyagaraja was singing before his deity surrounded by a host of devotees. Everyone present was lost in the melody and sweetness of the songs. |
