An article by Chitra Ramaswamy in today's Deccan Herald, Bangalore Edition on the eve of upcoming Thyagaraja Aradhana.

Can this be combined with the thread on the Saint?
Both the author Ms. Chitra Ramaswamy and her editor must be taken to task:

Thyagaraja would go to River Cauvery every day to bathe, meditate and wake up his Rama with Melu Kovaiya Mum in the morning Raga Bhoopalam

Was he waking up his mother (mum), or a bunch of chrysathemums? And how did the rAga bhauLi he composed this in morph into bhUpALam?

Did notice these mistakes,still thought of providing the link.
The article has couple of positive points too for ex. Rajaji's statement.
The author may be a member of this forum.
The link may help members who are new to CM.
