Mantra Balam was a song popularised BY TVS.I should have a non commercial track.Lets see.
TNS has sung Indu Enage Govinda in one of his Commercial releases ( a song also popularised in a Kannada Movie)
Kishori Amonkar - a big devotee of Raghavendra- also sings bhajans and slokas in her concerts.Here is one I had picked up on radio, long long ago.

Not necessary at this stage.Actually it is a welcome feature that one discussion leads to another.Only when the new subject has a potential to stand on its own , we can decide to start a new thread on that.
This is a case similar to the concert thread where allam durgaprasad was being discussed and JB wanted a new thread to be opened .
Unless the proposed new thread does has a potential to run on its own, let us live with these minor diversions.

A composition of Vasudevacharya also comes to mind.Let me check it out.

I am reminded of a varNam in gambIra nATTai, 'rangO tunga'

I think it is a slokam set to a varNam tune by A S Pancapakesa Iyer or something like that. basically, the dhAtu and mAtu are by different people. i will try to confirm later today...

Mantra Balam - TVS-MC-Vellore

These two are from Vasudevachar's Compositions.
I have no idea of the singer- From a very old compilation
There may be more in this bunch, but since I searched for the words Raghavendra in the opening line , the selection gets limited.If some one has a list, I can look for more.

Coolkarni- the singer of the 2 kRtis sounds like a much younger Sukanya Prabhakar.

the book of varNams by ASP just says that it is a srI rAghavEndra svAmi stuti slOkam.

what is more interesting is the ArOhaNam/avarOhaNam that is listed: s r m p n s - s n d p m g m r s in the 36th mELa karta. is this suddha nATTai?

Interestingly, I saw in one of my mother's old notebooks where her teacher has written the mUrchane for nATa as : s r m p n s - s n p m g m r s ; I know it deviates from the norm - but there might have been one school with this kind of ArOhaNa -avarOhaNa?

ramakriya,

interesting - am i correct that it looks it would allow mgm but not rgm the combination. The latter would enhance the vivadi feel perhaps and thus a structure that lessens the vivAdi dOsha?

Tunga Theera Virajam was written by Purandara Dasa. On reading wikipedia and other sites on Google, the time Sri Purandara Dasa lived between 1484 - 1564.

Sri Raghavendra Swami is said to have lived between 1601- 1671.

Has Purandara Dasa written about Raghavendra even before he was born?

drshrikaanth · Post by **drshrikaanth** » 01 Mar 2007, 23:15

tungAtIravirAjam was not by purandaradAsa- it is a song of surapurada AnandadAsaru(kamalESa viThala is his mudre).

It was a memorable experience at Mantralayam during Nadahaarasamarpana to Rayaru on 24th feb. All the artistes clad in uniform attire rendered the pancharathna kritis with bhakthibhava.
