తాళ్ళపాక అన్నమాచార్యులు - Tallapaka Annamacharya 

Lord Vishnu manifested Himself as Lord Venkateswara inTirumal Hills to protect the Dharma from decay in the Current Age (Kali Yuga). Annamacharya was born as the incarnation of Venkateswara to promote Dharma through his powerful Sankirtanas (devotional songs).

Sri Tallapaka Annamacharya (1408-1503) the mystic saint composer of the 15th century is the  earliest known musician of South India to compose songs called “sankIrtanas” in praise of  Lord Venkateswara, the deity of Seven Hills  in Tirumala, India where unbroken worship is being offered for over 12 centuries.  Annamcharya is believed to be the incarnation of Lord Venkateswara's. nandaka (Sword).

Annamacharya wrote the sankirtanas on palm leaves and later his son Tirumalacharya got them engraved on copper plates. But for reasons not known, most of these copper plates lay hidden in a rock built cell opposite to Hundi in the Tirumala temple unnoticed for over 400 years.

In 1922, twenty five hundred copper plates, comprising of about 14,000 sankIrtanas and a few other works, were found  in a rock built cell, later named as Sankirtana Bhandagaram, opposite to the Hundi (donation box).

Ever since the discovery of this lost treasure, Tirumala Tirupati Devastanams (TTD) and other organizations in India are working hard to promote the music and literature of Annamacharya. SVASA based in Riverside,  honors Annamacharya  by organizing both the jayanti (birth anniversary)  and the vardhanti commemorations annually and also organizes other devotional activities  such as spiritual discourses, devotional music recitals, and other devotional services and thereby creates/increases spiritual awareness in the community.

Prasanna Venkateswara Swamy Temple, Appalayagunta Village

  The Prasanna Venkateswara Swamy temple is located at a distance of about 14 KM's, from the temple town Tirupati. This makes the temple adequately separated from the main temple town, but still easily reachable through private or public travels. It stands apart from the other entire temple in the sense, at which it depicts the Lord Venkateswara Swamy in the 'Abhaya Hasta Posture’, which is considered the ultimate blessing posture. The Lord's blissful posture is pleasant and rewarding for a devotee who wants to divulge deep into the Swami's realms.

This is the place where the Lord Venkateswara Swamy graced the conglomeration of Sri Siddeshwara and other sages on the occasion of his marriage. As the temple was the place for the Lord's union with his consort Sri Padmavathi Ammavaru, here he is considered the most pleasant and granting. The temple has tremendous powers at liberating one from dosha's concerned with physical, psychological and career misfortunes. The grandiose Vayu Bhagavan's idol located in the temple is also a powerful source, which liberates one from various chronic illnesses of kalyuga.

Special occasions at Sri Prasanna Venkateswara Swamy Temple

As the name indicates the 'Kalyanotsavam' this is the occasion when the Lord along with his consorts Goddess Sri Padmavathi Devi and Sri Goda Devi brings great celebration and delight. This is an excellent preparatory to-be-married person to advance for a fruitful relationship. This also removes any hardships that you could be facing in your existing married life. 

Legend/Purana of the Prasanna Venkateswara Swamy Temple

After the much chronicled marriage of Lord Venkateswara to Sri Padmavathi Ammavaru, the Swami bestowed his divine blessings on the congregation of Sri Siddeshwara and other sages. Those sages on the merit of their holy lives were honored by lord's blessings on that divine day.  It is also a belief that Lord Venkateswara had rested here during his voyage returning to Tirumala.

Another specialty of this temple is the enduring form of Lord Perumal, devoted to the oneness of Shiva-Vishnu worship.  Hence all the special occasions related to Shiva, is also observed at great devotion.

Another captivating aspect of the temple is its glorious architecture, which allows Darshan through the door's on the Vaikunda Ekadasi day.

The temple has been constructed by the Rajas of Karvetinagar and consists shrine of Lord Anjaneya Swamy. The imposing image of the wind-god is worshipped by devotees for relief from chronic diseases. The temple also contains idols of Goddess Padmavathi and Smt Andal Devi within the temple
