Hope to hear detailed comments from someone else.. The concert is as pure as 22 karat gold, no gimmicks what so ever, no kanukkus (except tani avarthanam, ofcourse!!), and full of bhava and sowkhyam.. No apashruti whatso ever. very satisfying concert...

Song No.4-The slokam is this: From the Navagraha stOtrAs.
To Saturn,
niIAnjana-samAbhAsam ravi-putram yamAgrajam
chAya-mArtaAnda-sambhuUam tam namAmi shanaishcharam

â€œI bow down to slow moving Saturn, whose complexion is dark blue like nilanjana ointment. The elder brother of Lord Yamaraja, he is born from the Sun-god and his wife Chaya.â€

The slokam should read: sadA bAla rupApi, "roughly meaning: always in the form of a child".

I had listened to a lot of cutcheris in my father's spool type tape recorder; we used to make out the day of the cutcheri by listening to the Navagraha song sung(if it was sung).Those were the days when cutcheris were not confined to the weekends! In the present trend, many of the Navagraha krithis may not get sung if thy have to strictly adhere to the day-wise singing.

Cienu,
If a viruttam leads to a kruti, saturday is a prelude to sunday. TGIF can precede the two!

thanks for all those who corrected my mistakes... punarvasu, mahavishnu and lakshman sir... and also for helping with meaning for slokas...

divakara tanujam brought back memories of the great, legandry and only one sangeetha pitamaha... SSI, and what can be said about todi and kamalambike....I have heard kamalambike multiple times before... still this rendention was very fresh...

#9 - not sure what was the raga. he did a brief outline also...

#2 - can someone help me with more details on duraiswamy kavirayar??

mahavishnu,
I was just going to write about the sloka; was trying to recollect the words. Could not get the whole sloka.

PUNARVASU · Post by **PUNARVASU** » 13 Jul 2008, 08:55

Here is the slokam from Shri Subramanya Bhujangam
This powerful mantra was written by Shri Adi Shankara. When Adi Shankara visited the shore temple of Lord Subramanya at Thiruchendur, he fell into a trance and the entire stanzas flowed from him. It is said that the Lord was so pleased with the mantras, words of devotion that came from Adi Shankara, that Lord Subramanya appeared, as stated in the mantra, in front of Adi Shankara. Devotees reciting this mantra will be rid of debts, sufferings and disease. Whoever recites this mantra will attain health, wealth, longevity, wisdom and heavenly abode.

1. sadA bAlaroopApi vighnAdhi hanthri, mahAdanthi vaktrApi panchAsyamAnyA
vidheendhrAdhi mrigyA gaNeshAbhidhAme, vidhatthAm shriyam kApi kalyANamurthi

Though He always sports the appearance of a child, He can crumble the mountains of obstacles. Though He is elephant-faced, He is honoured even by his five-faced father Shiva (sadyojaatam, vaamadevam,aghoram, tatpurusham and iishaanam). Lord Brahma, Indra and the other Devas seek him to fulfil their aspirations. He is known as Ganesha and He is endowed with boundless glory. May He bless me with prosperity!

Here is a tidbid on nada tanumanisam..

Saint thyagaraja says 7 swaras - sa ri ga ma pa dha ni - were born from 5 faces of siva (sadyOjAtAdi panca vaktraja sarigamapadhani vara saptasvara)

How comes 7 swaras came from 5 faces? Kanchi paramacharya seem to have asked this question to many vidwans, and no one could answer! Finally he himself broke the answer..

any one knows? I will post after few hours(;-

s_hari: I do not know but speculating, somehow S and P being exceptions as prime Swaras that came from other parts of Shiva or representing Shiva and Parvathi themselves.

s_hari · Post by **s_hari** » 13 Jul 2008, 11:26

VK - Yes... Paramacharya said that Sa and Pa are swayambu (no birth for them - they exist always), and remaining 5 swaras came from five faces of siva..

The five basic sounds of the mridangam: tha, dhi, thom, nam and jem, have come from the five faces of Siva--Isana, Tatpurusha, Aghora, Vamadeva and Sadyojata

http://www.hinduismtoday.com/archives/1 ... 5-18.shtml

These 5 talas were said to have originated from five faces of Lord Siva: From Varna deva - Chach chatputa tala; Sadyojata - Chaa cha puta tala;Aghora - Shatpita putrika tala; Tatpurusha - Sampadveshtakaa tala; I sana - Udghatta tala
