[edit] Saint Title

Tyagaraja is popularly referred as Saint Tyagaraja. Saint is not limited to Christian tradition. I wonder why the heading is changed.

[edit] Place of Birth!

Is it Thiruvarur or Thiruvaiyar? Could someone please check? Nattu 00:06, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

It's Thiruvarur.

Why "Saint"? Why not "Sri"? Last I heard, "Saint" was a title given by the Pope. I'm changing it to "Sri" forthwith; please mention any objections here before reverting. Ambarish 08:59, 14 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Saint is not a title confined to conferement by Pope. Nattu 00:08, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

Any comments on the form of Telugu used by Tyagaraja? - Srikanth

Sri is a title given to contemprory persons, who have specialised in their fields and hence achieved recognition.

Whereas "Saint" is a title given to people who have "Realised" God or felt that Supreme Reality. I am sorry to state that your point in stating that "Saint" has to do with Christian Religion is very disapponting. If you have listened to [AIR]'s National Programme of music, the announcers say like this "... you were listening to the composition of Saint Thyagaraja......" Not Sri Tyagraja.

Moreover, changing it to Sri is belittling his achievements and his sainthood. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ramananrv123 (talk • contribs)

[edit] Tya?

Why spelled as 'Tya'? Should it not be Thya?.
