Sri Parthasarathi Pathi Ula day 8 - 2023

வரம் தந்த சாமிக்குப் பதமான லாலி - என்ற பாடலை கேட்டு ரசித்து இருப்பீர்கள். !!

At Thiruvallikkeni Divyadesam – the grand Chithirai Brahmothsavam is drawing to a close. Today is day 8 – kuthirai vahanam in the evening – in the Pathi Ula – Perumal had savari pagai.

During the pathi ulavuthal, there are vidwans performing and today it was grand Nadaswaram rendition by Mamambalam Manikandan and mercurial Deva.

Sri Krishna Leela Tarangini is a tarangini, a Sanskrit opera authored by Narayana Teertha. The songs are in chaste Sanskrit and clear diction and are rich in poetic quality.

Carnatic aficionados love this keertana : maadava maamava sung in Raag Neelambari.

Oh husband of Lakshmi piratti, do protect me; O Lord Krishna !, the Scion of the Yadu dynasty ! support of good people ! O Embodiment of all creation ! O Lotus-eyed one ! the Lord with an auspicious conch-like neck ! – protect us all.

Sri Narayana Teertha (c. 1650 – 1745 CE) a great saint, devotee of Lord Sri Krishna, the supreme lord, sang many songs on him.

He mastered music at a very early age and studied Puranas, Srimad Bhagavatam and other Sanskrit works. He renounced family at a very early age and took on a life of a religious devotion. He went to Varanasi to spread his philosophy. He was very well versed in Music and, Natya Shastra, and a great scholar in Sanskrit. He used at least 34 popular ragas. He wrote 15 books and some of them are available in Benares Hindu University and Parijatapaharanam at Saraswathi Mahal in Tanjore. He is also credited with composing two other operas, Parijaa Apaharanam and Haribhakti Sudharnavam.
