the sloka -verses from 'mukundamala' , were composed by a prince of the Chera dynasty called Kulashekara Azhwar (Called Kulashekara Perumal in Kerala.) He was also called Mudaliyandan Nambi . He was one of the 12 sages of the Bhakthi cult of Vaishnavism - Azhwars.

O my head,
Bow down in reverence to Adhokshaja.)

rshankar · Post by **rshankar** » 25 Jan 2006, 23:59

Kulkarni sa'ab,
Can you post the yArukkum adaNgAda for the rest of us?
Thanks.
Ravi

cmlover · Post by **cmlover** » 26 Jan 2006, 01:15

Of course an RTP in begada by TRS is a rare treat!

venkatpv · Post by **venkatpv** » 26 Jan 2006, 01:25

cml,
both of us (coolkarni and me) have already posted the begada RTP

just look for it on pages 2 and 3

coolkarni · Post by **coolkarni** » 26 Jan 2006, 11:07

rshankar-
will do.
but first the compensation for venkatpv.

will a lecture class on raga alapanas be enough ?

venkatpv · Post by **venkatpv** » 26 Jan 2006, 18:17

coolkarni,
u did u/l a lecture class earlier on raga alapanas...kharaharapriya, bhairavi, kalyani etc...

venkmal · Post by **venkmal** » 27 Jan 2006, 12:30

thx very very much for the slokas(both) and the meanings. Very nice. Please give full description about the song when u/l. so that it's easy to follow with lyrics and meanings if that also can be provided.
Once again thx very much for the clippings. venkmal

will upload this Doordarshan rendering (audio clip)of samagana lolane tomorrow.
rapidshare has been quite irksome today..

venkatpv · Post by **venkatpv** » 29 Jan 2006, 23:43

thank you so much coolkarni!!!

i got to hear of this story from my grandmother about how the AIR station guys forgot to interrupt TRS when he was singing live..and the 8'o clock news got delayed!!! such was his singing i am told!!! wish someone has that recording :rolleyes:
coolkarni, if at all anyone can have it..its you!!!

venkatpv ..
here is a sample video clip ..

Kulkarniji, i know this is being very very greedy, but could you please upload the entire video.. and also any full length concerts (audio is fine

) of Shri TRS. Like most people here, I am a huge fan of his music.. he is one of those rare blends of being hugely scholarly and also an immaculate performer..

if this is not possible [or will take too much time] because of the prohibitive size of video files, that is fine..

coolkarni · Post by **coolkarni** » 30 Jan 2006, 11:03

full video ..
I am a poor man with very little resources.Wish I could have uploaded the full video.anyone in chennai willing to do it , please let me know.I will mail the cd.
Full length Concerts .
I am restraining myself from doing that ..I have seen the benefits of discussing as we go along with shorter tracks ,rather than dump stuff here.
But one thing you can be sure of..
Before this thread runs out of steam , I will have covered all his krithis and ragas.I took the whole of 25 years to reach a stage where I could learn to appreciate TRS.I will not quit until I give everything back here !!!

The Kharaharapriya is an excellent piece of singing. So also others. To say THANKS to Coolkarni is not just enough.

Sivaraman · Post by **Sivaraman** » 12 Mar 2006, 02:40

Coolji,
Can I request TRS singing the Koteeswaraiyer krithi, "Arul seiyya vendum ayya" in the rag "Rasikapriya", if it is available?

venkatpv · Post by **venkatpv** » 16 Mar 2006, 20:40

was just wondering if recordings of TRS with PMI exist??

coolkarni · Post by **coolkarni** » 17 Mar 2006, 09:43

sivraman

here is the track in rasikapriya -in company of Chandru-Mannargudi Eswaran

Coolkarni,
Many thanks for that lovely Rasikapriya from TRS.

venkatpv · Post by **venkatpv** » 17 Mar 2006, 19:52

lovely indeed...

at the end of MC's round of swaras..TRS says 'bale bale' and MC says 'thank you'!!! never heard that kind of a response before

avichinnu · Post by **avichinnu** » 12 Aug 2006, 15:02

Esteemed Kulkarniji,
Is it possible for you please repost sthe RTPs of great TRS,which got deleted[shahana,kalyani,kaanada,natakuranjithodi,mohana,karaharapriya,hemavathi]? His rendition of Ranjini RTP is superb.I havent listened to him before, but made me eager to listen to his concerts.
thanks for sharing the most precious Ranjini RTP,
regards
avi

Vocalist · Post by **Vocalist** » 12 Aug 2006, 16:02

avichinnu, coolkarni and others, can you type out the pallavi lines (or the first few words in each) for these RTPs?

coolkarni · Post by **coolkarni** » 13 Aug 2006, 08:16

vocalist
you have asked me this once before and i have been silent.
simply because your(then) stated need to avoid downloading something you already had , was too distatsteful to me .
Especially in the context of the effort I take to upload a track that is meaningful to the proceedings here.

hereafter ,please try asking somebody else who listens,
to write out those lines for you.

Vocalist · Post by **Vocalist** » 13 Aug 2006, 12:59

I'm sorry that you were offended by that. We all appreciate your efforts in all your uploads. However, what should be an fast & easy task of downloading and listening to it all, isn't in my case. With a harddrive as limited and an internet connection that is as slow as mine, I have no other way of saving time and harddisk space on my computer (so I have to be selective in what I download and of course, what I request). Please forgive my ignorance.

coolkarni · Post by **coolkarni** » 13 Aug 2006, 14:12

avichinnu

those rtps were put up in a torrid sequence when rtps were a burning topic.

i guess there should be a different way to approach the appreciation of this artist , this time around.of course bringing these rtps back ,too
It is nice to see you getting fascinated in so quick time.
It took me 20 years.
Inspite of the fact that I lived next door to his sister for a decade and had the fortune of him spending some time in my home and looking at my music collection- I was not at home then and he left a good word of encouragement for me.
Every young artist / enthusiast knows how generous he is in such matters.
Even at this age , it is amazing that he braves the city traffic to arrange concerts for his Music Education Trust at Luz Corner in Chennai.
Always in his Sartorial best , he is a fine example of a teacher who can sing beautifully (or a vocalist who can teach beautifully)

When one of my friends (Delhi Muthukumar - currently a performing artist who also trains under TNS now) gave me all his tapes for conversion to mp3 , I was not sure what the experience would be like.

After all I had heard his lectures which showed little patience with the Hindusthani musicians lack of laya skills -sometimes bordering on sarcasm .But than that is the beauty of fellows like me ! I can change my allegiances quickly and without raising anyones attention !!

But it was something that grew on me .Slowly but surely.
His renderings have always helped me put everything else in proper perspective.With Alapanas even for the shortest of krithi renderings , that experience opened up a new world for me.
That desire to draw the listener in , is unmistakeable .
Please do keep chipping in with your views as you listen to these , as others too will hopefully do.
This buffet will have quite a huge spread !!

I resume with

I was wanting to comment on TRS bEgadA, as it was really good. But I will chip in when the topic is "re-raised" here.

Sangeethapriya hasn't had individual RTP contributions for a while. Perhaps a good time?

thathwamasi · Post by **thathwamasi** » 13 Aug 2006, 21:33

TRS has once sung a Kalyani raagam, "Endhuku Nee manasu". In that charanam, he sang "Raga rahitha shree Raama - paraku seyuta nyayama". He sang a brilliant variation in neraval. He would sing Raga rahitha shree Raama in chathusra nadai, and Paraku seyuta nyayama in thisra nadai. It was fantastic experience.

Pinkchry... it displays so, but the full link is available if you click it. Also, if you want to copy the link, right click it and:

1. In IE, select "copy shortcut"
2. In Firefox select "copy link location"

The kAnaDA AlApanA in the RTP posted by Sri Kulkarni is outstanding. Seems like Sri TRS has a soft spot for this rAgA

Some of the stuff he sings in the upper octave is unique and brilliantly creative. Who is the violinist? The responses [especially the initial part where Sri TRS is very appreciative] are very very good.

T.R.Subramaniam never dissapoints the listeners,it seems.His Kambodhi prooves that.His music reveals that he is a good teacher and performer.
It has become a habit for me to wait for Kulkarnijis postings[as his postings always contain music links]!
