To all those clueless idiots talking about Saint #Tyagaraja in a derogatory way, get your facts right first. A short thread.

Saint Tyagaraja was fairly well to do in his time. His father Sri Kakarla Rama Brahmam was a great scholar. Gave Upanyasams on the Ramayana.
He was employed in the court of the Maratha ruler. He was initiated into the 'Rama Taraka Mantram' by his gurus.

The king had a great respect for him and when he shifted, he was given six acres of land and a house in the Thirumanjana Veedhi in Thiruvaiyaru.
I won't go into the history of the region now. Yes, there were many horrible invasions and Thanjavur was devastated many times. From Haidar Ali to Nawab of Arcot, and British..nobody spared the place!

There were famines and the beautiful Kaveri river had gone dry.
