Your Favorite Song(s) - J

rshankar · Post by **rshankar** » 26 Aug 2009, 08:26

Arun, since it has been a while since we discussed songs beginning with 'I', I thought I'd get the ball rolling with 'J'.

jagadoddhAraNA - kApi - Purandara Dasaru (needless to say, Smt. MSS' rendition)
jananI - rItigauLai - Syama Sastri
jAnakI ramaNa - kApi - Vanamamali Jeeyar
jO accutAnanada jO jO mukundA - kApi - Annamacarya
bhajan - jAnaki nAth sahAy karE - yamakalyAN (Sri Ajoy Chakroborti's rendition)

(An overdose of kApi, but can't help it)

Film song: jO vAdA kiyA vOh nibhAna paDEgA, jAye to jAye kahAn

I wonder if jaya jaya jaya jAnaki kAnta is really a Purandara Dasa composition.

Look at these lines:

jaya jaya jaya jAnaki kAnta
jaya sAdhu jana vinuta
jayatu mahimAnanta jaya bhAgyavanta

Now, why would the saint address rAma as bhAgyavanta (fortunate one)? To call someone "fortunate" would mean that he can also be subject to misfortune. To be sure, rAma went through misfortune, but would Purandara Dasa look at Rama as merely human? To me, it seems unlikely that someone like him could have used this word to describe rAma.

This makes me wonder if this might not be a spurious composition attributed to Purandara Dasaru. Of course, I could be wrong.

Great composition, though.

jagadOddhAraNa - simply soul stirring kApi - like any rendition as it is the combination of kApi at this pace which captures my heart.
jagadISa sadA mAmava pAvana - nATakuranji - I love Sanjay's rendition.

Proof that you don't need an awesome voice or tremendous range to sing a great song. Bhava is the most important.

Nobody has mentioned 'Jay hO' of AR Rahman though it is an international favourite..

Agraja · Post by **Agraja** » 24 Sep 2009, 02:55

Jo tum tOdO - Meerabai

And yes cmlover, though "Jai Ho" is an international favourite, it somehow eludes my understanding. I imagine this makes me at par with one unversed in Hindi, unless there are more who share my predicament

I like the film song Jalte hain jiske liye - Talat Mahmood - Sujata best in 'J' songs.

Carnatic song is Janani Mamva meyye - Sudha Raghunathan's rendering

I don't even think Jai Ho deserved to be brought up here.

Girishji, IMHO, it is a genuine kRti of dAsaravAru. We can interpret the kRti as follows.

jaya jAnaki kAnta jaya sAdhu jana vinuta
jaya jAnaki kAnta jaya mahimAnanta
jaya jAnaki kAnta jaya bhAgyavanta

Even the parabrahmam, SrImannArAyaNan (here SrIrAmaDu) has these three names (sAdhujanavinutuDu, mahimAnantuDu and bhAgyavantuDu) because (simply) He is SrIyahpati (here jAnaki kAntaDu). Also, He alone can be SrIyahpati, no one else. A similar meaning is expressed in the 4th SlOkam of SrIguNaratnakOSam of SrIparASarabhaTTar. The verse and meanings are available at http://www.sundarasimham.org/ebooks/GRK.pdf (page 26).

Just remembered another PurandaradAsa song I like!

jaganmOhanane kRShNa
jagavampAlipane kRShNa

There are some good versions available online. I like it in shanmuKhapriya. I have seen some good BharatanAtya presentations also (with Jahnavi Jaiprakash's voice!).
