There is a gItam in nAgasvarALi starting with the words:

"kailAsa giri nivAsa"

I have heard this only from Mrs. Bhanumati Chari, who used to teach music in Michigan in the 80s.

[mnsriram]

Thanks Sri Lakshman. Interesting to know that Sri Venugopal has 4 compositions in this rAga. I have only heard "vadana ruchira". Anyone heard any of the other 3 (Shri parvatipate, Taye dayapari, Unadu padam)?

[veenajj]

Chingleput Ranganathan Sir has composed a thillana in this raga in Sankirna Dhruva Thalam.

Saketa Nagara (varnam) in the list given by Lakshmanji is listed as a Srinivasa Ayya composition in Ananthakrishna Iyer's book.

[S.Balasubramanian.]

J&J,Was it the one sung during his felicitations held in Raghasudha Hall recently?

[veenajj]

Yes, that was the one.

Could you be kind to send me scanned pages of the notation for this varNa? My address is earthsoul_AT_safe-mail.net. Thank you.

[veenajj]

kmrasika, we have just dropped a mail to you.

[vs_manjunath]

Recently, I had been to Navagraha Temples near Kumbhakonam.

The temple in which the planet Venus is worshipped, I was pleasantly surprised the priest happily in full throated voice started worshipping 'Sukra Ashottara' in nAdaswarAvali. After, the puja i enquired, is it not nAdaswaravali ?, he was very happy that I had identified the rAga correctly. When the next batch of pilgrims came, he changed the recitation to Dhanyasi.

I would have been much more happier if the priest had sung Sukra ashottara in the ParaZ as that lovely song 'sri sukrabhagavantham' of MD is in Paraz.

In Guruguha Gana Vidyalaya, this is one of the first few varnams we learn!

[Lakshman]

In the book varnasagaram, TKG creditis the varNa sAkEta naga to Karaikudi Rajamani Iyengar.
