His Guru - Narada Muni

Finding Annamayya in a pitiable condition Narada Muni appeared before him in the form of an old pilgrim and asked Annamayya.

Son, I have been noticing you for long and even the fellow pilgrims told that you haven’t taken any food and water for many days. Why don’t you eat something? Annamayya replied that he had decided to stay on deeksha (fasting) until he had the darshan of Lord Venkateswara.

The old man said, you are still at Alipiri, if you climb the hill in this condition, you may end up losing your life. Annamayya said that he doesn’t care about life. In a journey to serve the Lord of Seven Hills, he would happily sacrifice his life.

Finding eternal bhakti (devotion) in the heart of Annamayya for his Narayana, he gifted his musical instrument and blessed him that he is going to become a great singer. Narada muni also shared his secret with Annamayya that Srimannarayana loves music and he will find Him at any place where there is a pleasant music.
