Pushya Bahula Panchami is still a few weeks away.

But, today is 6th January. It was on this day in the year 1847 Tyagaraja attained samAdhi.

Here are couple of posts remembering the Composer-King on this day.

Ramaraj,

Even though I have the same name, I am not the person you think!

A journey down memory lane - about a visit to Tiruvaiyyaru fifteen years ago.

Ramakriya,
Thank you.
Yes, I would be listening to the 'vigorous' rendering of the mahAn's pancaratnAs by the 'dressed to the nth degree' females and males (in some cases), cameras pointing, police.men jostling, and a few devotees singing their hearts out in the fringe--the drama of it all, without getting the essence of it. After a while, I will turn the television off.
Thanks for sharing the peace and tranquility you experienced when you were there...

That was wonderful and very touching. You are fortunate to have visited the place in its true environs.

Remembering Tyagarja - May 4th :)

Post by ramakriya »

Today is the anniversary of Tyagaraja's birthday :)

I'm extremely happy to share two renditions of my composition - A varna in 9 ragas, with a Tyagaraja theme.

I am thankful to the artists - Vid Uma Kumar and Vid Ragini Sanath

Here are the YouTube links for the recordings:

Uma Kumar: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z6wMjn4AEyE

Ragini Sanath: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bIs4xYKd_zM

Rasikas feedback is welcome!
