	The Hindu : Greatness of Tyagaraja
		Tyagaraja was as divine as the Lord Himself because he was a God realized soul whose influence was profound and elevating, and the Olympian levels of his Rama Bhakti made his creative genius, nonpareil.
		Tyagaraja, though a saint of great spiritual eminence, was not quite sure as to which of the tenets of Advaita, Dwaita and Visishtadvaita would pave the way to reach his objective, that of being a servitor to the Lord as were Sita, Lakshmana, Bharata, Satrugna and Anjaneya.
		Tyagaraja's concern for the salvation of his fellow men is emphasised in his Durbar kriti "Ela teleyalaro, poorva karma melaguna jesiro Ramayya", meaning what karma have they done in their previous births that they are unable to realize the greatness of Rama.

	Tyagaraja (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Tyagaraja was married at a young age to a lady named Parvatamma, who died shortly afterwards without surviving issue.
		Japyesa is often made the villain in stories about Tyagaraja, in the role of the brother who could not understand Tyagaraja's devotion to Sri Rama, a characterization that smacks of caricature and may well be inaccurate.
		To the unworldly Tyagaraja, the prospect of wealth or fame was no incentive; he clearly had no inclination for a career life at court, which doubtless in that age, as in every other, entailed petty rivalries and jealousies.

	Understanding Tyagaraja (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The music of Tyagaraja (1767-1847) represents a great historical turning point in the evolution of Carnatic music and the relationship between his bhakti and his music has led to much confusion.
		Although it is remarkable that Tyagaraja and the other members of the Trinity never seem to have met in their lifetimes (b oth Syama Sastri and Muttuswami Dikshitar lived in Tiruvarur), it is also instructive that all three felt, independently, the historical necessity of developing the kriti form.
		Part of the mythology surrounding Tyagaraja is the belief that his music flowed from his lips through divine inspiration and without effort.

	World Music Central - Rama Bhakti Samrajyam
		Saint Tyagaraja of Tiruvarur renounced the material world and established a mighty spiritual empire through his compositions, which were deeply rooted with the concept of Rama Bhakti.
		Tyagaraja, the king of renunciation as his name suggests, had renounced everything except Bhakti and the naada yoga and true devotion to the lord.
		Thus Tyagaraja had attained complete union with Lord Rama by experiencing Rama’s qualities by posting himself in the place of Kousalya as mother of Rama, Viswamitra, as admirer of Rama, Sita as wife of Rama, Bharata and Lakshmana for admiring his Elegance, Vibheeshana and Sugreeva who got compelete protection from Rama.

		Behind the performers lies the samadhi of Bangalore Nagarathnamma, who constructed the temple for Tyagaraja and so, in return, was herself interred in direct line of sight of her project.
		In Tiruvaiyaru during the Aradhana, Tyagaraja isn’t just a composer or a saint; he acquires a status that is almost divine.
		His shrine is central and elaborate; off to one side, in an alcove, are the idols of Rama, Sita and Lakshmana that Tyagaraja himself worshipped.
