Saranu – Nalinakanthi – Purandara Dasar
Heranbaya-Atana-Deekshidar

I think the dasar kriti is saranu siddhi vinayaka and it is in saurAshtram (not nalinakanthi)
I am not sure if the atana krithi is heranbaya , was that brHaspathE

Tx for the review , natakapriyan

Thanks for the review - a nice 'all vinAyaka' concert list to celebrate the caturthi indeed.
Small correction - it should be 'girirAjasutA tanaya' - sutA = daughter, sudhA = essence/nectar.

There is also a sharanu siddhi vinayaka in Hamir Kalyani...
Excuse my ignorance, but I've never heard of this singer. Whose disciple is she? The list looks very good. And does anyone know the composer of the sunada vinodini varnam?

If the varnam had lines gana nayaka then the composer of sunadaviNodini varnam is NS ramachandran . As per the url , vasudha ravi is the 4th generation disciple of Shri GNB , check http://vasudharavi.wordpress.com

Thanks rajeshnat - just googled her and found the wordpress page.
A good recording of the varnam would help - if anyone has..
