Sivapriya Krishnan-Gopalapuram Krishnan Temple

[satyabalu]

*Accompaniments-
Violin-sri lakshmi venkataramani(Dis.of A. kanyakumari)
Mrudangam-Vineeth(Dis.of Padri satish Kumar)
The list of songs(incomplete)
*kelanu hari Thalanu-set in Begada -PD
*Krishnananda mukunda-Gowlipandu-MD(her padantharam in Suddha madhyamam (15) was more authentic).very rare kriti.
*venkata ramana-latangi-PS RNS-neraval @the alamel mangai....
*vara siki vahana-Supradheepam-(16)-on Subramanya- only kriti in this Raga by any composer.She explained how T intertwained His relationship with Subramanya as nephew"Sri Raghuveera Bhagine apta mandara"..
*Next was "sree Krishnam Bhajamanasa"-Thodi-MD.I expected her to do neraval @sanka Chakra.....I think feeling the pulse of the audience &the time running out she has restricted only to swaram.
After enthusiastic tani by Vineeth, Sivapriya could cover &demonstrate what a post tani segment should look like viz.,
sarvaloka dayanidhe sarvabhowma dasarathe-Divyanama Keertana of T.
*thapasa soham-punnaga varali-T,
Shobane-pantuvarali-T
Sri krishna taavaka mahima-Kuringi-Narayana Tirthar.oruthi mahanai pirandu-behag-Andal. she signed off with'thillai ambalathanai govindarajanai-GKB.(sans the last charanam alternating between bilva&tulasi...again I think for want of time she had skipped it).This song in my opinion,intends to highlight the coexistence of saiva &vaishnav culture in the same precincts (one is Bhoolaka kailasam another is a divya desam).
The vidwat &variety in the concert on a quiet sunday evening on a serene ambience on the rear side of the temple made the audience stay till the end .A wholesome concert.This event was under the banner of YACD &sri Krishna sweets.

Satyabalu,any idea ,whose disciple is SK?I have not heard her name so far but your review has made me to know more about the artist and hear her also.I will make a mental note of her name and look forward for a chance to hear her.

@Satyabalu: Thanks for the review. Just a minor edit... Vineeth is the disciple of "Patri" Satish Kumar, not Badri Satish Kumar.

bang opposite to DMK chief MKs house and next to Murasoli (late) Maran's house. Very good temple and serene atmosphere.

Rajesh- There is another famous temple-Venugopalaswamy Temple in Malleswaram, Bangalore where Gokulashtami concerts are held in a large scale. There are lot of those concerts in circulation(mostly out of my collections)

*The Begada no. was Purandaradasa.Stand corrected.
Also this is the edited portion-"She signed off with'thillai ambalathanai govindarajanai-GKB.(sans the last charanam alternating between bilva&tulasi...again I think for want of time she had skipped it).This song in my opinion,intends to highlight the coexistence of saiva &vaishnav culture in the same precincts (one is Bhoolaka kailasam another is a divya desam)."Can someone give the words of that song please?
