Needamangalam Sri Krishnamoorthy Bhagavathar :
Harikatha exponent Late Needamangalam Sri Krishnamoorthy Bhagavathar.OOthukadu Venkata Kavi's works were primarily popularized by Needamangalam Krishnamurthy Bhagavatar, who was a descendant of the poet's nephew. This legendary harikatha performer took a lot of efforts to immortalize the mega-composer's works through his inimitable harikatha performances. But the absence of adequate information made it difficult for him to corroborate facts about his ancestor-composer. Since he was more a performer and barely a researcher, there were bound to be some clouded inferences that could have been made while establishing information about this composer.
Many of the information available about the composer have been accepted with mere faith as quoted by Krishnamurthy Bhagavatar's disciples, Shri Subbaraman and Vidushi Alamelu. It is quite understandable that there is a lot of ambiguity in terms of birth dates of one's own ancestors as nobody took special efforts in documenting these with precision. So while we don't discredit the time period or birth dates of our own ancestors, there can be no reason why the information about such a great composer's period should be discredited or disbelieved only because his works were popularized much later......
