Beginning with May this year, I have been writing a monthly column in The Hindu on Tyagaraja, to commemorate the 250th year of his birth. The full list is compiled below:
What makes Tyagaraja kritis unique?
The Maratha Influence on Tyagaraja
Tyagaraja rejoicing in Temple Festivals and Processions
Tyagaraja and his liking for rare ragas
Tyagaraja and his boat chronicle
Tyagaraja and his opera on Prahlada
Tyagaraja and his steps to heaven
Tyagaraja and the many Ramayanas
The Prahlada Bhakti Vijayamu – Tyagaraja’s second opera
Tyagaraja and his steps to heaven
Echoes of The Ramayana in Tyagaraja’s songs
The current article is a good analysis of the events of Tyagaraja’s time.
Namaste Mr Sriram, would it be possible to get your email id so i can ask you a question about our local Austin (Texas) Thyagaraja Aradhana. Harih Om, -vidya kaushik

Are these articles available in a book form or a single pdf? My father is keen to read these set of articles but we have not found a book version. He does not have a smartphone or kindle like de ice to read this.
Thanks
What an amazing compilation. Thank you
Absolutely superb writing Sriram sir.
Especially the one on temple processions makes one long to time travel and be right there.
