I am looking for all the swarajathis of shyama shastry rendered by mdr. I got the bhairavi kamakshi. Any one has the other two.


I am also collecting own compositions of mdr. So far, very few is available in youtube or in sangeethapriya.

Thanks for the concert cpblog! I'm listening to this concert for the first time. Though I've heard all these krithis rendered by him previously, in this concert, he provides a different interpretation which was very enjoyable.

rAga ratna mAlikacE ranjillun(a)Ta hari Sata
Lord hari shines forth adorned with the garland made of hundreds of exquisite rAgas composed as a means of fording the Ocean of Worldly Existence for redemption of this tyAgarAja.
These kIrtanas contain the true meanings of vEdas, the six SAstras, the (eighteen) epics and Agamas; singing these kIrtanas leads one in the true path of God realization following which the great ascetics attain the divine bliss; best of devotees sing these kIrtanas collectively.
Therefore, O folks! Come, let us attain all the fortunes of life by worshipping Lord Hari devoutly with these kIrtanas
Credit : V Govindan

Yes indeed . MDR .. Lived , true to all these ideals . Continues to inspire us . Years after he departed for a better world .

Has MDR sung Koluvai? I heard a very brief Koluvai from him as part of a lec-dem. Wondering if he has given it elaborate treatment. I'm looking for Janani Mamava as well. I saw it recommended for me on Youtube and I meant to listen to it later but it has sort of disappeared.

Hi,

I'm looking for a particular rendition of MDR's Aparadhamula in Lathangi. This particular version starts off at the anupallavi (Krupachesi na). Maybe it's an old recording where the pallavi was cut off?

I'm not particularly a big fan of MDR but this concert was sublime. I didn't know MDR sang like this at all :) The vasanta is still ringing in my ears. And what accompaniment! 60s must have been the golden decade of CM for sure.

In a folder titled M D Ramanathan, the following clip resides in my hard drive. Not sure of the origin. The clip however, delightful as it is, is incomplete.Would anyone have the continuation? The other pieces in the folder are Ninnukori, Diwakara Tanujam, Tera tiyagaradha (Gowlipantu), Seethapathe and Samaja Vara Gamana

Thanks Purist, even in Sangeethapriya, the Balagopala krithi ends abruptly. There is a lot more to it and that is what I am after if available anywhere.

Fortunately I have the full version of the song Balagopala by MDR from the same folder and it is 65.5 MB (runs for 60 minutes). I do not know how to make the mp3 file available to interested members in the forum. Please let me know how to do it.

That would be wonderful to have. Can you upload that to mediashare, the site is www.mediashare.com and once it is uploaded , that would give you a link to be shared. You can just copy that link here and others would be able to download from that link

I do not know about anything about ' mediashare' whether or not I have to become a member in that site. The song is currently in my Dropbox and Google drive and it may be possible to share it from there. The file I think is too big to send by gmail.
Please let me know the alternatives.
