Highlights of Sri Tallapaka
Annamacharya 610th
Jayanthi Festival This year is the 28th
year in a row that the
organization commemorated the Sri Tallapaka Annamacharya
Jayanthi. The Jaynathi
Commemoration Festival started on 24 April at SVASA premises,
Riverside, and concluded with the
Sri Venkateswara Sankeerthana Kalyanothsavam performed by SVASA at the
Sanatan
Dharma Temple, Norwalk on 29 April. 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 Sanatan Dharma Temple on 29 April from 8am to 3pm 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 Annamacharya, his life and works before starting Srivari Kalyanothsavam.
