Highlights of Sri Tallapaka
Annamacharya 607th
Jayanthi Festival This year is the 25th year in a row that the
organization commemorated the Sri Tallapaka Annamacharya Jayanthi. The Jaynathi
Commemoration Festival started on 3 May at SVASA premises followed by
Sankeerthana recital at the Laxminarayan Mandir, Riverside, and concluded with the
Sri Venkateswara Sankeerthana Kalyanothsavam performed by SVASA at the Sanathana
Dharma Mandir, Norwalk on 9 May. Annamacharya composed scores of Kalyanothsavam Sankeerthanas and it is believed
that Annamacharya used to recite these Sankeerthanas while performing the
Padmavathi Srinivasa Kalyanam. SVASA continued the tradition introduced by
SVASA in 2011, of performing Kalyanothsavan with Annamacharya Sankeerthana
recital at each Ghattam of the Kalyanothsavam, in
an attempt to enable devotees imagine the Kalyanothsavam performed by
Annamacharya 600 years back. Sri Venkateswara
Annamacharya Society of America
performed
the Sri Venkateswara Sankeerthana Kalyanothsavam during the Jayanthi festival with recital of Annamacharya
Sankeerthanas at each Ghattam (Step) of the Kalyanothsavam. The festival continued at the Mandir on 25 May from 9am to 6pm with devotees singing Gurudeva Prardhana (Sreemathvadeeya) followed by Uregimpu and Nagara Sankeerthanam. Later the devotees gathered at the sanctum sanctorum of the temple and honored Annamacharya by singing numerous Sankeerthanas. The president of the organization, briefly presented the outline of day's events and an introduction on Annamcharya, his life and works before starting Srivari Kalyanothsavam.
