The evergreen tungAtIra virAjam of course. IIRC there is also a maisUr vAsudEvACAr composition in darbAr 'rAghavEndra guru mAnatO'.

[rbharath]

i do know off tunga tIra virAjam.

i m looking for notations specifically. anyleads would help.

[kmrasika]

I've not seen notations for compositions on rAghavEndra save for the varNam (based on mangaLAShTakam) tuned by pancApakESha aiyyer. However, there is one book on compositions of haridAsAs on rAghavEndra by amman patipakkam which has lyrics in tamizh.

IIRC there is also a maisUr vAsudEvACAr composition in darbAr 'rAghavEndra guru mAnatO'

Yes, a nice composition.

Don't forget karedarE bare bAradE also by kamalESha viTThala. Also, mahArAjapuram santAnam has rendered a song, "rAghvEndra rAghavEndra bhajisi..."

[Lakshman]

If I am not mistaken all of Kamaleshavithaladasa's songs are on Raghavendra Svami.

[ramakriya]

Three more compositions I can recall

1. rOgaharane, kRpAsAgara by kamalEsha viTThala (sung by Bombay sisters)
2. rAghavendra daya tOrO ( I think Santanam sang this ) - probably by Kamalesha vitThala
3. manchi rOjidi - a composition of BMK- available in a sangeetha release with the title "Ananda bhairavi". The recording has 4 - 5 compositions, all in Ananda bhairavi rAga.

I did not know that all songs of Kamalesha viTThala are on Raghavendra; Thanks for that informaltion Lakshman.

[layarasika]

Guru Surajananda has a number of compositions on Swami Raghavendra which have been by renowned artistes.

Ishta Guru Raghavendra - Ragamalika
Yeddu Bharo Guru - Thilang
Guru Rajane - Hamsa Malika
Gnana Guru - Khamas

In addition to this, there a number of compositions he has written on Swami Raghavendra which are less popular and have not been tuned to carnatic music. A yogi and venerable saint, Guru Surajananda has thousands of compositions and writings, but his first composition at the age on only 12 was on swami ragavendra in his mother tongue of Kannada - Varava kodu swami varava kodu.

[srinivasrgvn]

I've heard a composition that goes like this :
"thanga thatAkathil thavazhndhu" in Natabhairavi. It is on Lord Raghavendra.
I heard the Bombay Sisters rendering this in their recent concert at Karpaga Vinayakar temple, Adyar, Chennai.

[PUNARVASU]

There are also songs like
'manavE mantrAlaya', 'rAghavEndra rAghavEndra bhajisuvAse AgudE', 'mantra phalam aDainda Alayam mantrAlayam' on the khsEtram as well as Shri RAghavEndr.
