Is Priyadarshini SRMDNS/SNDMRS a keerwani janya?

mohan · Post by **mohan** » 23 May 2007, 08:20

http://www.karnatik.com/janyalist2.shtml lists it as a janya of Sarasangi
priyadarshini S R2 M1 D1 N3 S-S N3 D1 M1 R2 S

Since the Ga is absent it could be under Kiravani as well. I also read that Ustad Amjad Ali Khan is credited with unearthing this raga and it was named after the late Indian Prime Minister, Indira Priyadarshini Gandhi.

TVS planned to sing in the music academy last season, but did not sing it. But here is a url where he sang somewhere else

In which case, wouldn't Jalra or Chipla-kattai be a more appropriate name?

LOL at C5!

konjambOra is colloquial for "a little"
Example: enakku konjambOra sakkarai koDu---> give me some (a little) sugar.

Minor corrections have been made and shown in bold.

Wow, krishna got to "toDAda iDangaLellAm toTTut tolaippAn" (touching all forbidden places)--fortunate indeed!

I remember listening to a nice vAdya vRnda on AIR chennai directed by LGJ in rAga priyadarshini a while ago. Some recordings may exist too.

konjam pOla veNNai: Yes, a little bit of butter--(pOla=like; in a small amount). pOla got corrupted as pOra in spoken thamizh.

As I sometimes wonder with what goes under the guise of an UththukkADu composition, here too, I have my doubts. A song with a lot of humor, but parts of it-as the one quoted above-makes me doubt the authencity of the author.
Either that or, there is a possibility that it is a case of iDai Serugal (insertion of words or lines into the original by others). Where do SringAra rasam and humor end and where does lewdity begin in this song? With all the humor one finds here, one would not like children to dance to all the verses. Adults too, for that matter. I feel strongly about it, not because of any victorian or maDi sanchi (orthodox) sentiments, but for aesthetic reasons. More important is the fact that the kavi's music brims with spirituality AND fun in a fund of songs. Then, why go for such suspect ones?

I remember Ustad Amjad Ali Khan invented/discovered this raga soon after Indira Gandhi's death in her memory and therefore named it Priyadarshani. His rendering of this raga was telecast on Doordarshan at that time. Quite a young raga

. Never knew so many artists have already rendered it in carnatic concerts.

Strangely,I couldnt connect with AAK's Priyadarshini with our own.The scales seemed to be different

saadhyaa · Post by **saadhyaa** » 25 May 2007, 19:41

The late Shri. kR Kedaranathan has composed a wonderful song in Priyadharshini which starts "Karunai Ganapathiye".. but some one said it is Hrithkamali....can some one clarify.

thanks

Kedaranathan was an exemplary vocalist and teacher. He did a great job of setting some of Ambujam Krishna's songs to music. Interesting. Did not know he composed as well. Like singing brothers and instrumentalists, these are composing brothers. Atmanathan, his brother and Sadasivams' companion (almost a son) composed too, and MSS sang his songs...
