Saint poet Tallapaka Annamacharya was instrumental in popularising the Hindu Dharma by launching a crusade against the caste barriers almost six centuries ago, Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) Chairman B. Karunakar Reddy has said.
Speaking after releasing a book titled ‘Sri Venkatesa Padamulu’ published jointly by the TTD’s Hindu Dharma Prachara Parishat (HDPP) and Hyderabad-based Shanta Vasantha Trust here on September 13 (Wednesday), he recalled the struggle undertaken by Annamayya to eradicate various forms of social injustice and the efforts to reach out to the marginalised sections of the society.
