Dear All,

There are lot of Swathi krithis, with sahithya, devotion, bhava, .
Swathi is called King among musicians and musician among kings.

During Navarathri days, each day a separate krithis is rendered at the Navarathri Mandapam at Trivandrum.

Semmangudi used to sing : Devadevakalayamithe: in mayamalavagowla beautifully,

can any one upload above song and also Navarathri krithis if possible.

2)Pankachalochana - Kalyani
3)Pahi sreepathe - Hamswadwani
4)Pahi Jaga Jananee - Vachaspathi ( I have heard TVS rendering this beautifully)
5)Devadeva Jagadeeswara - PoorviKalyani,
6)Paripalayamam - reethigowla
7)Sarasaksha paripalaya - Panthuvarali
8)Mamavasada jananee - Kanada
9)Pahi Parvatha - Arabhi
10)Sarasijanabha murare - Thodi
11)Padmanabha Pahi - Hindolam
12)Seve srikantham - Mohanakalyani

Downloading a song directly from a site which only allows you to listen but does not allow you to download is not difficult provided you have a recorder. Please search through google and you will find a lot of such recorders. What you need to do is to first connect your speaker to line out jack of your system and change the settings of under volume control as follows:

1. Click 'Start' button, then 'All Programs' > Accessories > Entertainment > Volume Control

2. First click 'Options' and then 'Properties'

3. Under the 'Mixer Device' select the sound card of your system

4. Under 'Adjust volume for' select 'Recording'

5. Then check 'stereomix' , 'line in' and 'phone line'

After the above, choose the settings under 'options' or 'preferences' of your sound recorder whether you need the recordings in the MP3 or Wave form, whether the recording will be for 60 or more seconds and if more enter the expected duration like 1200 seconds, 1800 seconds etc (it is better to be always on the higher side), whether you want to normalise your recording after it is completed and if so at what level (normally choose 100) etc. The best thing to do is first read the help section of the recorder you have downloaded and act accordingly

Hope this helps you and other members of this forum who are unaware of this. I have tried my best to give the steps lucidly so that anyone can understand. Will be glad to share further info if you need should you find it difficult.

While these are getting u/l to the x-drive (the latter is already on it), the logic of loading them also at rapidshare beats me :D

mahA = great
anubhavam = experience / knowledge
lu = plural
'mahAnubhAvuDu' refers to male and 'mahAnubhAvurAlu' refers to female
so i guess 'mahAnubhAvulu' is gender-less, but used for males in general

Thanks Divakar!
In Tamil
mahaanubhaavan is masculine (less respectful)
mahaanubhaavar is masculine (respectful)
mahaanubhaavi is feminie (neutral)
mahaanubhaavikaL feminie plural
mahaanubhaavarkaL is plural (both sexes but mostly males)

Coolkarni Garu
i have mentioned my earlier troubles with gulgarni, gulkarni.
i thought coolkarni would solve it once for all .and now new ones force me to look at the nearest notary public for a name change.
please .. coolkarni will do.
10 years in laloo prasads bihar, 15 in karnataka, the rest in chennai, i have a huge identity crisis as it is.the andhra angle may only add to the speculation that i am henpecked (yes my wife is telugu speaking)
kji, coolkarni garu, coolkarni ji can be dispensed with.
(just in case some of you are thinking i am a grey haired 70 year old , which i am not
will not be even 25 years later )
26 years yes maybe.but not 25

Dear all,

I think, you have not downloaded for our use. ( KVN 1993 mandapam concert).

KVN has a flavour for swathi krithis.

Our great musician semmangudi Sir has also propogated swathi krithis. He was continusouly rendering at all navarathis till his indisposition.

would like to have any mandapam concert of SSI

In Rasikapriya.net, mandapam concert of Trichur Ramachandran has been downloaded.

Sri Coolkarni,
Excellent KVN concerts. Really enjoyed hearing tanam with the mridangam. Thanks again. BTW, KVN has given a commercial recording titled "Swathi Thirunal Compositions" wherein he has sung ragam and tanam for the Saveri navaratri kriti.

Our deep gratitude to you Lakshman, for sharing these priceless collection with us. It is by various artistes and from various sources and perhaps assembled over the years.

Could somebody prepare a list and identify the artistes other than SSI. Is the Bhavayaami the original which he taught to MS?

After that we may trouble Lji for the lyrics :D

Thanks a lot Lashmanji and meenaji.

The 1993 Navarathri mandapam concert was the best KVN and also the best Navarathri mandapam concert I have ever attended. AIR broadcast only a glimpse of the 4 hour concert, but still I could go back in time thanks to X drive!

It was a packed audience with hardly an inch of space left on the floor right from the start of Thodaya mangalam at 5.30. The concert began at 6 pm and soon KVN was in full flow. ( I particularly like KVN's mandapam concert as he sings on his own without the usual vocal supports for obvious reasons!! :cheesy:

There was an elaborate bhilahari around teh middle of the concert and the first thani followed smarasadhamanasa balagopalan. My aching knees by 2 hours was soothed by an outstanding thanam in Arabhi and an even better neravel Vanchi kripakhara as part of the main krithi. He didnt fail to deliver a few padams. The concert ended around 10.15pm.

Usually the mandapam concerts are of 21/2 hour duration. But on occasions ( I think once every 6-8 years) when navarathri and the Padmanabhaswamy temple festival concide, the concert will only end after the temple procession finished which is about 3 hours. On the last day which is the Aarat day, the procession after the aarat will end around 10.15 by which time Bhujagashaayino will be sung.

My only advice to any rasikas going on these longer concerts is to keep themselves slightly dry, and enter the mandapam with an empty bladder. Otherwise you will be doing Kegels rather than listening to the concert.
