Sri. Jayadeva's 11th Ashtapadi " Rati Sukha sArE .....deerasameerE yamuna teerE..."is sung in this rag in Sampradhaya Bhajan. Tanjavoor Sri. Thyagarajan had sung this Ashtapadi very melodiously. Sri. OS Sundar and Sri. Udayaloor Kalyanaraman too had sung well this 11th Ashtapadi in their music Albums and is worth listening.

This raga evokes so much Bhakti while listening to and always a favorite raga to me. Viruthams in this raga are very popular both in Bhajans as well as in the Katcheries. This raga shines well when sung with full
of ' bhava' and in slow tempo.

Radhe Krishna!

Absolutely, hariharanji, slow tempo suits the ragam so well.

Here's one of my favourite renditions:

Dear rasikas,

Here is one more rare kriti in kedaragowla, composed by Rallapalli Ananthakrishna sharma; lyrics
" Ganarasamurti Tyagaraju patalu ....." this is a composition in praise of Sadguru Tyagaraja, and was regularly being sung during Tygaraja Aradhana, in Mysore ages ago ! This song can be heard at the link

http://sites.google.com/site/rallapalli ... Home/media

Sl No 4 & 4A on this page. The song is rendered in a concert by Rallapalli's son Prof R A Phani Shayi, former principal & professor of psychology, National College, B'lore.

regards,

nanda nandan r

Though not a mega song like saraguNa PAlimpa or sAmikku sari, T's vEnugAna lOluni is a sprightly little gem.

Another rare, less popular song in kedaragowla is 'Ramuni Maravakave'. I have heard DKJ singing it, also possess an audio tape.

I have an audio tape some where in my house. It is a Tyagaraja song rendered by DKJ, needless to say, it is beautiful. I do not know if it is in sangeetapriya or rasikapriya. If I find it I will send the link.

Kedaragaulai is a raga suitable for virutham.many artists select this raga for virutham singing.Have heard Yamarinda mozhigalile tamizh mozhipol sung by MS Amma or NCV amnot sure.My favourite is Voleti Sirs Venuganaloluni.

A most beautiful Kedaragowla can be found in three-four lines of a song in the movie "Auvayyar" - the old one - the lines start with "Anbile Ninainda Yennai".

Another most beautiful Kedaragowla is part of a ragamalika that followed Shri MMI's Shanmukapriya RTP - "SaravanaBhava" - most captivating - entrancing.

Best

I was searching Rasika's website for difference between Suruti and Kedaragowlai. Can anyone explain the difference between Suruti and Kedaragowlai? I am student of music and learnt recently Venugana in Kedaragowlai.

Just peeped into this thread. The discussion is incomplete without reference to MSS expansive raga alapana of this ragam in innumerable concerts- Mostly Saraguna palimpa or Venuganaloluni. She has sung some sparkling swaras in Vikasita pankajamu in Venugana loluni. Also she has recorded a very beautiful song Koluvude in KG - in the Balaji Pancharathnamala Vol 5- a composition of Annamacharya with breathtaking chittaswaras by Kadayanallur Venkatraman.

A must listen to -TNS detailed alapana of this ragam mostly for Saragunapalimpa. He has also sung many RTPs in this ragam. TRS mangalam in KG- Maramachandruniki (Thyagaraja) - simply haunting.

I remember that i have once long back listened to the MS song Vittuvida da Seethaiyay Ade Ravana - i was totally mesmerised by the words and the wonderful singing.
But after that never heard it again

Request someone to kindly upload if they have audio version.

Tulasi Bilwa (Thyagaraja sung by Smt Geeta Raja audio available in Sangeethapriya.org ) and Neelakantham Bhajeham (TM Krishna's casette) are my favorites in Kedara goulai

My favourite is Tulasi Bilwa by MDR as well as Mali.
In fact Mali's rendering of the song is the lullaby for my granddaughter!
