As we exit 2019 and enter 2020 I wish we hold our hopes High and happiness and success comes in copious quantities. Been wanting to write more reviews but couldn’t this year. I promise to keep this state to the relief of my followers 😀

Kailasa was in festival mood and why not since the Christian year is coming to an end and the faithfuls are going to seek the celestial couples blessings on 1st Jan 2020. Before looking fresh and decking up appropriate to grant all that is sought, Lord & family made a quick trip to Kedarnath just to check out things in his favourite country viz., India. All the sub-staff were given instructions and the hundials polished, for them to receive copious inflows,
Shiva, Parvathy, Ganesha and Devasenapathy took their PV-001 Pushpak and landed in Kedar. Nothing escapes the eyes of Parvathy and she asked nonchalantly whats the huge crowd of disciplined people standing at 4 am near a music sabha in Mylapore ? With the flash of the 3rd eye, Shivji confirmed its token sale for sanjay Subramanians concert for the year 2019 at music academy and the Gods jumped with joy which includes for the free filter coffee Mijeek academy offers for the ticket purchasers. For an ascetic, silently Lord Shiv wished Sanjay sprang Ananda Natana Prakasam in Raga Kedara. Of course He has heard it being sung on His praise a million times but who doesn’t like million+1 ?
In absolute synergy with all the women of the world near their husbands, Parvathy read her Husbands mind and murmured to herself…shrI pArvati paramAdvaita shivE parE tripurasundari in rAgA shrI would set the mood. These gents should know Ladies rule, and the rule is Ladies first ! This applies high above too !
Nandi wasn’t immune and secretly hoped Vazhi Maraithirukkudhe Malai pole was rendered. It wanted to recollect the olden memories of shifting for Thinunalaipovar (Will go tomorrow ) aka Nandanar

Ganesha told his Mother he sees some luck in meeting a good woman to marry when the crowds surge at his temples uptil and including 1st Jan 2020. He lamented all family members have ragas honouring them (sankarabarana, Umabarana, Shanmukapriya) but only a thala named after him . (ganapathy thalam)

He just gave a scribbled note to Mother Parvathy to pass it on to Sanjay to sing Tatvamariya Tharama Mooladhaara Ganapathey…since RitiGaula moves the Elephant God immensely. Mooshika was happy if his name will be mentioned as a part of any song, else he resolved to call off the truce of running helter skelter in the sabha halls and bite naked cold toes !

Devasena the youngest and most impatient was circambulating on his vahana and he was too proud to ask for Nata Bhairavi but hoped like we ordinary rasikas wish, the artist will and serve it to us grandly. The peacock was cocksure (and that was unintended indeed) that the beautiful Virutham on Goddess Karpagamba at Mylai will be given as a treat. Permit to type the majestic virutham
ADum mayilAi uruveDuttu anRu iRaivan tiruttAL
nADi arccitta nAyakiyAi nin nAmangaLaip
pADi urugip parvashamAgum appAngu aruLvAi
kADenavE pozhil shUzh mayilApurik kaRpagamE

And if Gods themselves are in suspended animation imagine my plight. Bought a ticket and I will be attending today. This message after i got this ticket
I shall strive to write the review to honour the tireless efforts of our admin Sheela Raman and others who contribute to our CMF . Sudha Gururajan Subramanian Seshadri Vasudevan VR Meenakshi Vidyasagar are the others requesting me and I repay their affection, shared laughs through this.

Smile !

50 articles for 2019-2020 33 of 50 Structure of Krithis part 2 Annamayyas krithis dont have an Anupallavi passage and His Samkeertanas have multiple charanas. While Puradaradasa's compositions have mixed variety as in some have anupallavi passages and some dont. Thiagaraja Swami and Syama Sastry compositions have multiple charanams and its not a LH thumb rule since there are uni charana compositions too. We can conclude that due to lack of evidence of a structure for Krithis as a standard, the brilliants minds explored many formats. We must mention a Margadarshi. A pre trinity composer Sesha Ayyangar composed in Sanksrit, His kritis have triple charanams, and he experimented with the traditional pallavi-anupallavi-caraNam structure of kritis. The famous musician Shatkala Govinda Marar brought with him a collection of the songs of Margadarsi Sesha Iyengar and sang many of them before the king, Swati Tirunal. Impressed by their novelty, adopted them as models for ...

50 articles for 2019-2020 Article 35 of 50 GovindarajaSwamy and Gummakambodhi Yes yes of late my aritlcles resemble some archaelogical find but i can assure my sea of readers ( less than 10) it is unintentional. When visiting the magnificient temple of Nataraja in Chidambaram i used to wonder how come there is a Govindarajaswamy temple in the Siva Complex and answered myself it could be the syncretic nature of our 3 arms of Hinduism Decade ago i was captivated by Sanjays rendition of Govindarajena rakshitoham sada by Muthuswamy Dikshtar , the raga name easily merging in the Sahitya...the final lines of the Vibhakthi being mEca bauLi rAgENa santOshitEna I have to visit what readers already know as in the beautiful Bowli raga with the following Arohana and Avarohana ārohaṇa: S R₁ G₃ P D₁ áš  avarohaṇa: áš  N₃ D₁ P G₃ R₁ S Curiosity be served with some food...

50 Articles for 2019 Number 04 Topic: nishAdhAntya rAgams (also madhyama shruti, certain rAgams sung together in rAgamAlikAs) 'anta' in sanskrit means an end. nishAdhAntya rAgams are those scales which culminate in the nishAdham. The scales do not go further up into the tara stAyi shadjam or any swarams in the upper octave. Similarly, on the descent, the rAgam is not sung below the mandara stAyi nishAdham. In fact, the scale includes the mention of the mandara stAyi nishAdham, without ending at the shadjam itself. The rAgam will have only one octave. Examples of nishAdhAntya rAgams are: cencuruTTi (janya of HarikAmbhOji 28) - N2 S R2 G3 M1 P D2 N2 - N2 D2 P M1 G3 R2 S N2 cittaranjani (janya of kharaHarapriyA 22) - N2 S R2 G2 M1 P D2 N2 - N2 D2 P M1 G2 R2 S N2 nAdanAmakriyA (janya of mAyAmALavagowLa 15) - S R1 G3 M1 P D1 N3 - N3 D1 P M1 G3 R1 S N3 punnAgavarALi (janya of HanumatODi 8 ) - N2 S R1 G2 M1 P D1 N2 - N2 D1 P M1 G2 R1 S N2 One main aspect is that these rAgams...
