Village Tallapaka is the birth place of Annamacharya, fondly called Annamayya, where in a temple of Lord Chennakesava, a dancer is seen glorifying the Lord’s ten incarnations. Young boy Annamayya visits the temple along with father Narayana Suri and mother Lakkamamba. The parents consider the boy to be the manifestation of the divine sword given by the lord to Lakkamamba in her dream and offer prayers on his birthday. The utterance of the Lord’s name elevates Annamayya into a contemplative mood. Sensing the spiritual fervor in the child, his father explains to him the distinction between the internal & external visions and urges him to realize that only sweat and toil would earn him his daily bread.
