The Spiritual Heritage of Tyagaraja
By C. Ramanujachari, 623 Pages, Hardcover.
Tyagaraja was both a devotee and an artist; the combination of Vedanta, devotion and literary treatment in his songs naturally remind one of the Bhagavata Purana and the religio-aesthetic approach that Bopadeva and Madhusudana Sarasvati gave. In addition to an account of Tyagaraja's life, 565 of his songs are contained in this book.
