Historical Context
Sadguru Sri Tyāgarāja Swāmi, also known as Tyāgayya, and in full as Kākarla Tyāgabraḥmaṁ, was a composer of Carnatic Music, a form of Indian Classical Music. Tyāgarāja and his contemporaries, Śyāma Śāstri and Muthuswāmi Dikshitar, are regarded as the Trinity of Carnatic Music. Tyāgarāja composed hundreds of devotional kṛti, mostly in Telugu and in praise of Rāma. Many of them remain popular to this day. Of special mention are five of his compositions called the Pañcaratna Kṛti, which are often sung in programs held in his honor. Tyāgarāja composed many Utsava Sāmpradāya Kṛti, meant to be sung in temple rituals/festivities and Divya Nāma Saṅkīrtana, sung as a part of concerts and daily life.
