List of Mysore Sadasiva Rao Kritis (and their lyrics?)

seldnplan · Post by **seldnplan** » 31 Oct 2007, 11:48

Is there any exhaustive list available online? I couldn't find one even after extensive googling. In particular, I'm looking for a piece in aThAnA and another in shankarAbharaNam. I'm unsure even about their first lines, because I only possess excerpts.

Thanks!

I just discovered that our valuable Mr. Lakshman has already posted elsewhere the lyrics to the shankarAbharaNam kRti I was referring to. I'm pasting it here for easy reference:

In particular, I'm looking for a piece in aThAnA and another in shankarAbharaNam. I'm unsure even about their first lines, because I only possess excerpts.

May you be looking for "vAcAmagOcAruNDani" (aThANA - a bhAgavata-in-a-nutshell) on the deity at tiruvallikENi, and "ShrI shaNmukhajanaka" (ShankarAbharaNam) on one of the pontiffs at kAnchI?

Also, MS Sheela has released one commercial album consisting exclusively of sadAShiva rAU kr.tIs under the banner, "Heritage of Mysore" rendered by her guru, ShrI ShrIkaNTan and herself. It is produced by GITHAA and marketed by Giri Trading Agency.

Thanks, kmrasika! Those are exactly the songs I was looking for (knowing the words makes it easier to convince oneself that the singer is indeed singing them).

The page at Musical Nirvana doesn't seem very exhaustive. It doesn't have either of the kRtis I was wondering about!

I will look into MS Sheela's album immediately. Thanks for the tip.

I Know Prof. Mysore V. Ramarathnam wrote a book on the great composer Sri Mysore Sadhasiva Rao. Let me try and get hold of it. I will share it via google or something.

Couple of compositions that I am familiar with and have heard Prof. Ramarathnam render are:

Saketha NagaraNatha - Harikamboji
GangaDhara TripuraHaraSri - Poorvi Kalyani

One Story I heard from Prof. Ramarathnam at a concert in San Jose in 2002 was that, Saint Tyagaja used to spend several days at his desciple Walajapet Venkataramana Bhagavathar's house and conduct Bhajans. During one such occasion, Mysore Sadhashiva Rao, happened to be in Walajapet Venkataramana Bhagavathar's house and he composed the following composition in Todi, right in the presence of Saint Tyagaraja and got his blessings:

Tyaraga Swami Vedalina - Todi

I have the lyrics for 43 of his songs.

There is one more commercial album by TP Vaidhyanathan who render's this composer's compositions: http://www.kalavardhanis.com/slides/REC070.html. I think Giri may also sell this one.
