composer's name

Post by nagthilaka »

Hello Lakmanji,
Can you tell me the composer of the song "MURUGANAIPPOL ORU KARUNAI ULLA DEIVAM IRUNDITA KANUDAL" I heard this song sung by DKP. I cannot find any information on the web.
Thanks in advance

I found out that the composer of this song is Guhan (the one who also composed kandan karuNai puriyum vaDivEl).

Lakshman,
That was my guess! Guhan mAma. An unforgettable character (now that we are in the RD mood).
His creativity and kindness is etched in my memory (and I knew him only as a child...).

arasi: I have been trying to get hold of his songs for a long time. Dr.S.Ramanathan published a book of his songs titled Guhan Krithis but I have not been able to locate a copy of this book anywhere..

Lakshman,
Hopefully, someone from his family by chance reads this thread (or someone in his friends' children's circle), that might lead to the book!

Have you contacted Dr. Geetha Bennet, or Smt. Vanathi?

THANKS A MILLION LAKSHMAN. You are really a source of big help to people like us who are not singers but only listeners and rasikas.
Thanks once again

Yes I have contacted Geetha as well as her sister Banumathy. Both said they don't have a copy of this book. Dr Gowry Kuppuswamy has referred to this book in her publication Index of Songs in South Indian Music.
The publisher is Gayathri Publications in Chennai. Perhaps one of the rasikas in Chennai can be kind enough to inquire about this. I do have different addresses for different Gayathri Publications: 6/20 Amma Teresa St., Chennai (phone 9087716184), 19/47 Plot No.1, Moosa St., T,Nagar, 26/B Vedachala Gardens Mantheveli, Chennai.
Thanks

Lakshman,
My googling yielded this : we have discussed her music in 2013, and in that thread, her grand daughter Priya posted! The thread has many interesting and inspiring bits of information. Hope you can contact
her.
