*Annamacharya dates from 1100's so he is nearly 900 years old, The saddes part is even though they found the songs he wrote, we dont have any idea how he sang them himself. All his lyrics were later composed by contemporary carnatic musician. BUt we are lucky that we are listening to a song written 1000 years back. we should be proud of our heritage.
