Oh - when I read the nAlvar, I looked through the song list for the famous 'letter' written by rukmiNi to krishNa ...

Was the heroine of the piece explained prior to each song? For instance, the tiruppAvai and mIrA bhajan are self-evident, and possibly rAdhA samEtA krishNa as well, but I am not clear as to which of the numbers was about rukmiNi, for example.

Which ragam is "Athi Nirupama" composed in?

rshankar · Post by **rshankar** » 08 Dec 2008, 12:07

I think it is in kAmavardhini/pantuvarALi ...

I suppose there was no particular song for Rukmini sung by Sudha. She explained before the concert started off and not before each song !

Pantuvarali? Is it Oothukkadu's composition?

sama · Post by **sama** » 09 Dec 2008, 00:09

Yes. It is a composition of Oothukadu Venkata Kavi.

What questions was Sudha asked?!

pavithrac71 · Post by **pavithrac71** » 09 Dec 2008, 08:32

Questions....asked to Sudha

1.If you were in a similar open house session and were to ask a question to Tyagaraja, Dikshitar and Shyama Shastri, what would you ask each of them ?

2.Is it because that artistes' calibre is on the rise that listeners' taste or standard has improved or vice versa ?

3.Whose love or Bhakthi do you personally think is unconditional or absolutely pure ? Is it Radha, Meera, Andal or Rukmini ?

Finally Sudha had to ask the audience a question.....that was....

In which century was Jayadeva born ?
