Nilakanta Sivan

[ninjathegreat]

Hi,

I thought we could talk about nIlakanTa sivan and his compositions... I know of only four:

innamum irakkam in aTAnA
ananda naTam ADuvAr in pUrvikalyANi
navasiddhi peTRAlum in kharaharapriyA
enna vidam in Anandabhairavi

I do remember someone posting a bigger list long ago, when we were talking about pApanAsam sivan...

Cheers
Ninja

If anybody has compositions from Neelakanta Sivan, it would be great. The ones that I have heard are Sambho Mahadeva by MSS, Enraikku Siva kripai by OST and saranam Ayyappa and Ananda Nadam aduvar. All of them are present in musicindiaonline http://www.musicindiaonline.com/music/c ... mposer.94/

ShishyaPriya

[chalanata]

commercial recordings are available sung by S.Rajam.

[kmrasika]

There is a popular song on gaNESha - umaikkuriya tirumaindA - pantuvarALi - Adi. This is in an old AVM recording of unnikr.shNan. Also OrARu muganE, originally set to Arabhi, is now rendered in the more popular rItigauLa tune. Some notations of nIlakanTha Shivan have been published by lakshmi poduvAl, disciple of ShrI TM tyAgarAjan.

[shishyapriya]

Does anyone have non-commercial recordings in MP3. Please upload them.

[shishyapriya]

Coolkarni ji, If you have any collection, please do post for us listeners.

[coolkarni]

Cant refuse you , can I ? after the nice words you had for me....

Will work on this list .Let me see

[coolkarni]

shishyaypriya
I will need a shorter list of songs that are known to have been performed / sung .I could then make my search a bit more meaningful/Even a list of artists who have sung these compositions would be of great help in my exploring voluminous data.

Neelakaanta Shivan - (1839-1900) Sangita Kalanidhis Musiri Subramania Ayyar and Semmangudi Dr.R.Srinivasa Ayyar chose the best of the pieces of Nilakanta Sivan:
'Enraikku Siva Krupai Varumo' - Mukhari
'Ehaparam tharum perumal' - Khamas
'Navasiddhi petralum' - Karaharapriya
for their disc recordings decades back and they could not have chosen better songs for the excellence of composition, sublimity of the content and message, marvellous scope for raga elaboration and spiritual appeal to the intellectual and the lay public. The grandeur of conception, the inspired divine ecstacy revealed in them, the mastery in the art of composition and the felicity of expression have rendered the songs of Nilakanta Sivan highly popular. 'Ananda nadanamaduvar' - (Poorvikalyani), 'Sambo Mahadeva' - (Bhoopalam), etc. are the envy of composers. About 1500 verses in 150 padigams mainly in Khamas, Kambhoji, Mukhari and Surati are all to guide the people to spiritual revelation and Divine presence. He conveys the message of the seers of India that 'true knowledge, pure devotion, absolute surrender and strict adherence to the spiritual, religious, moral values make life richer.' His output and outpourings were colossal. he assumed the name of 'Nilakanta Dasan' after the name of the Deity of Padmanabhapuram.

Born at Padmanabhapuram in Kanyakumari district, called 'Subramanya' in younger days, Nilakanta Sivan was a precocious child whose sharp intellect and composing talents were noticeable early. he led bhajan ghoshtis (parties) and for fifteen years was a village magistrate. he resigned when he was asked to cook up evidence in a case. His agonising reaction is reflected in the song 'Ennavidam Pizhaipom' - (Mukhari), wherin he laments:
'Days of fences guarding crops had gone,
Even days of fences eating the crops had vanished.
Now the fence has started eating even the earth.
What would happen henceforth?
Time has entered on evil days.

He had no practical training in music. Mysticism and erudition innate in him probably got released after his contacts with Kodaganallur Sundaraswamigal. He was giving musical discourses also.

The rulers of Travancore and Cochin and the Rajahs of Ramnad and Pudukottai honoured him. like Muthuswami Dikshitar, he is credited with bringing rains by invoking God. he anticipated his death and breathed his last at Trivandrum amidst bhajans. Sangita Kalanidhi Papanasam Sivan was his disciple and no wonder the two Sivans have been beacon-lights in Carnatic music with their immortal compositions in Tamil which have been the delight of the musician and the music-lover.

பல்லவி
என்றைக்கு சிவ கிருபை வருமோ – ஏழை என் மன சஞ்சலம் அறுமோ ?

அனுபல்லவி
கன்று (alt: கன்றின் ) குரலைக் கேட்டு கனிந்து வரும் பசு போல்
ஒன்றுக்கும் அஞ்சாத என் (alt: எந்தன் ) உள்ளத் துயரம் தீர்க்க (alt: தீர / நீக்கி )

சரணம்
உண்டான போது வெகு (alt: கோடி) உறமுறையோர்கள் வந்து
கொண்டாடி தொண்டாடிக் கொள்வார் – தனம்
குறைந்தால் கண்டாலும் பேசார் இந்த கைத்தவமான பொல்லாச்
சண்டாள உலகத்தை தள்ளி சத்கதி (alt: நற்கதி ) செல்ல

நவசித்தி பெற்றாலும் சிவ பக்தி இல்லாத நரர்கள் வெறும் சாவி (சம்போ)
எவர் புத்தியும் தள்ளி சுயபுத்தியும் இல்லாது இருப்பவர் பெரும் பாவி

நாதன் அருள் மறந்து போதம் இல்லாக் கூத்து நடிப்பவர் வெறும் சாவி (ஜகன்/தில்லை)
சீதமதி அணியும் சிவனை நினையாமல் இருப்பவர் பெரும் பாவி

தாய் தந்தை மனம் நோக செய்கின்ற குரு துரோகத் தனைவர்கள்(*) வெறும் சாவி
நாய் போல எவரையும் சீறி சண்டைபோடவே (alt: சண்டையிடும்) நலம் கெட்டார் (இல்லார்) பெரும் பாவி

பாபமும் புண்ணியமும் கணியாமல் பணத்திற்கே பறப்பவர் வெறும் சாவி
கோபமும் லோபமும் கொண்டு நல்ல குணத்தை குலைப்பவர் (தொலைப்பவர் ) பெரும் பாவி

கேட்டும் கண்டும் அனுபவித்தும் உண்மை உணரா கர்விகள் வெறும் சாவி
வாட்டமில்லாத கதி கொடுக்கும் நீலகண்டனின் அன்பில்லார் (அருள் இல்லார்) பெரும் பாவி (என்றும்)

பல்லவி:

இஹ பரம் தரும் பெருமை சிவ தர்மம் இதுவே நாம் செய்யும் கடமை


அனுபல்லவி:

புகழும் பொருள்கள் பெற்றும் இந்த பூமிக்கு சுமை ஆகாமல்
திகழும் திருநீலகண்டன் திருவடித் தொண்டுக் காளாகுதல்


சரணம்1:

பொங்கு கடல் சூழ் உலகிற் பொருள் தேடிப் புதைத்து வைத்தும்

மங்கையர்க்கும் மக்களுக்கும் மணி பணிகள் பூண வைத்தும்

கண் குளிரக் காண்பதெல்லாம் கனவாய் பிணம் ஆகும் போதில்

அங்கிதனால் என்ன பயன் ஆர் துணையாம் அறம் செய்யாரேல் ஹரர்க்கு

அன்பு செய்குவதே நரர்க்கு முறை ஆகுவதே திருப்

பணிகள் புரிகுவதே பெருத்த புண்ணியம் இதே


சரணம்2:

கற்கட்டு வீடுகள் சமைத்து கல்லறையும் உள்ளமைத்துப்

பொற்கட்டி வைத்திருந்தாலும் பூமி ஆளப் பெற்றாலும்

பற்கட்டி வாயடைத்துயிர் போம் பருவத்தில் ஓர் காணிப் பொன்னும் காலன் புரி போகாமே
காலாந்தகனை விடாமே சீலம் பெறுவது தாமே வேலை நமக் கிதுவாமே
