Much has been said about Vasudevacharya in the Wodeyar thread...

Today I found a really nice photo of him... and thought I'd share it here.

Does anyone have a recording of "nimishmaina - sAma" of Sri mysOre vAsudevAchaArya?

Lyrics for the same are available at

English:
http://www.geocities.com/promiserani2/c1427.html

Telugu:

The other sAma composition I heard of this composer is "parAkElanayya rAma" renderd by Sri mahArAjapuram santAnam.

Telugu:
http://andhrabharati.com/kIrtanalu/vAsu ... su117.html

Couldn't find a link to the english lyrics.

Thank you very much Sri Kulkarni. Both the versions are very good.

Do you think the voice in the 2nd recording is Srirangam Gopalaratnam?

cmlover · Post by **cmlover** » 21 May 2006, 20:36

I think it could be TKR!
(But I am not rulng out Gopalaratnam!)

drshrikaanth · Post by **drshrikaanth** » 21 May 2006, 21:41

The singer is definitely vid|| Nagavalli Nagaraj. She has also sung the song in the "vAsudEva kIrtana manjari" released by R.K Padmanabha's Sharada kala kendra.

mnsriram · Post by **mnsriram** » 22 May 2006, 19:06

Thanks DRS.

Could somone kindly post the characteristics of this rAga (sAma), in case it hasn't already been done in other threads and also the meaning of this krithi to make this complete

AdhAramu = support, prop, stay, patronage, aid, a receptacle, reservoir, a basin around the base of a tree. (Sankaranaryana - Telugu English Dictionary)

AdhAra: = support, prop, stay, hence, Power of sustsining, aid, patronage, assistance, a receptacle, reservoir, a basin round the foot of a tree, a dike, dam, embankment, a canal, the sense of the locative case, location (AdhArO2dhikaranam) (V S Apte - The students Sanskrit English Dictionary)

Hence my choice of 'supporter'.

Dear Rasikas -

I was wondering if someone could send me the complete lyrics (words and swaras) for the Kadana Kuthuhala varna "Neeve Raksha" attributed to Mysore Vasudevachar. I have looked in all the suggested places, to no avail. I had submitted this request in the section for sahitya requests, but thought I would also post in this area devoted to the composer.

TIA,
bhaskar

Is there any doubt about the authorship of this varNa?

Long back I remember posting the notation on forumhub ..

Lakshman · Post by **Lakshman** » 15 Nov 2006, 01:51

Last year a friend sent me some varNAs of Vasudevachar in kannada script. They were photocopied from some book. They are in:
mandAri, nATa, hindOLa, dEvamanOhari, rAmapriyA, kAmbhOji, mukhAri, behAg, navarasakannaDa, sarasvati, bilahari, kadanakutUhala, kAnaDA and kEdAragauLa.
I don't know the title of the book though.

drshrikaanth · Post by **drshrikaanth** » 15 Nov 2006, 02:46

There is no doubt about the authorship of this varNa AFAIK. nIvE rakShakuDu is indeed a composition of maisUru vAsudEvAcAr's.

newacct18 · Post by **newacct18** » 15 Nov 2006, 03:56

Dear Rasikas -

I apologize for possibly inappropriate wording. I heard this varna sung in recital, and was captivated by its lilting beauty. But I did not recall hearing the composer's ankitha in the words. The singer did tell me that it was composed by Shri Vasudevachar.

Shri Lakshman has already very kindly sent me the lyrics (but in Tamil). If someone can send me the notation in Kannada (or even notated in English) - I would be indebted. The melody is constantly swirling around in my head, and I will derive no peace till I learn the words myself.

Sincerely,
Bhaskar

kmrasika · Post by **kmrasika** » 18 Nov 2006, 08:11

I would very much like the notation for the varNam if someone has it. earthsoul@safe-mail.net. Also, would it be too much to ask a repost of the sAma clip posted by coolkarniji(http://rapidshare.de/files/21015708/37_ ... a.mp3.html) last year? Thank you.

Kmrasika,
i literally have no words to thank you!
No problem with the mistake you made...

once again, thank you so much!!!

The kriti on Sankarshana has two names of Lord Rama.... how come? or does it refer to Lakshmana since he is the one who is considered to be ans Avatar of Adisesha who is also known as Sankarshana.
