sri rajarajeshwari navavarna krithis - compiled in a single album called Tripura Vaibhavam, is the most recent(in the 21st century) navavarna krithis I've heard, composed by the noted Saint and NadOpasakar Poojya Sri Ganapathi Sachchidananda Swamiji of the Avadhoota Dattapeetham (http://www.dattapeetham.com ), MYSORE, INDIA. The Krithis contain the essance of Sri Vidya Upasana, Sri Chakra Rahasya and the Navavarna method of worshipping mother goddess. These krithis are so sacred that by merely chanting its sahithyam an individual is initiated to understand the knowledge of Sri Vidya which requires sophisticated preparations mostly beyond the human nature.
Following the tradition of sri venkatamakhin music lineage, Sri Mutthuswamy Dikshitar has been credited to have composed such navavarna krithis and the Sri Kamalamba Navavarna krithis are his signature compositions. Coming from the same lineage of such rich music tradition, Poojya Sri swamiji has composed 12 krithi's including a dhyana, mangala and dola krithi on Goddess Sri Rajarajeshwari. The krithis are rendered by starlwarts like Balamurali krishna, Nityashree, Sowmya and many other noted carnatic artist in India. These krithis are gems of its kind following dikshitar's Navalamba krithis and Thyagaraja's pancharatna krithis. Happy listening.
