Nava Varna Kritis are a great gift for us all. The structure of those songs and the ragas selected for each chakra are a beauty. Dikshitar systematically reaches from base to Bindu in each song and explains the greatness of the position of the chakra. The last Mantra Keerthana comprehensively covers all mantras of the chakra. This shows the depth of research and understanding Dikshitar had on the Sri Vidhya Maha Shodasakshari mantra learnt from Sri. Chidambara Swamiji. So far, there is no clear notation for such difficult songs and a student finds it difficult to learn the song in a proper way. This book brings out the notation to the benefit of music lovers and students. It provides a brief explanation of each sentence of the song for understanding the same.Muthuswami Dikshitar's life incidents in paintings, which are the first of its kind, have been presented in this book. The book has been published in three languages: English, Tamil and Telugu for wide circulation.
Sri Swathi Tirunal’s Navaratri Kritis is a unique book exclusively prepared for students and lovers of Carnatic music who like to learn the Navaratri Kritis in detail. The notations made by the author are easy to understand. In one of the quartets of Carnatic music, Swathi Tirunal composed 472 Kritis. Many of his compositions are yet to be explored. He was the only composer who could compose in multiple languages like Sanskrit, Malayalam, Kannada, Telugu and Hindi. He also invented many new ragas like Saranganatta, Lalita Panchamam, Mohana Kalyani Dvijavanti and Gopika Vasantam. He was the only South Indian Vagyekara who composed Bhajans, Drupad, Khyaal, Tappa and Tillanas. Harikatha was introduced by Swathi Tirunal. He also used Abhangas, Dinders and Chhands, which are in Marathi song formats. Swathi Tirunal was very sincerely devoted to Padmanabha Swami and Saraswathi Devi. The phrase ‘Padmanabha Sahodari’ was his Mudhra Charanam. The Nine Gems of his Navaratri Kritis were among his best-known compositions, and he ensured that they are sung on all nine days of Navaratri. He introduced the ritual of bringing Saraswathi Devi’s idol from Padmanabhapuram to Travancore, accompanied by the idols of Lord Karthikeya and Goddess Munnotty Nanga. The lyrics of the nine Navaratri Kritis with meanings of the songs are exhibited brilliantly. This book offers you a glimpse of the life and history of Maharaja Swathi Tirunal and the stories of people who made a profound impact on the young king in his very short life. The wonderful paintings on the incidents of Swathi Tirunal’s life and the collection of photographs are the special attractions of the book.
The inspiration to add one more book of Sri Thyagaraja's compositions arose in the mind of the compiler, when he attended Thyagaraja Aradhana festival some time back. The inspired singing of the great vidwans and the enthusiastic response of the truly international audience sparked the idea in the compiler's mind, that the saint-composer's goal and the heart-felt enjoyment and enlightenment of the audience would be even better served if the text was available in English script and the original Telugu, with the full meaning in English. When he mooted the idea with late Dr. G. Venkatadri and his uncle Dr. R. Venkataraman, they welcomed and backed it. In brief, the idea is to present in the composer's original medium all the songs of Thyagaraja available to date, from the labors of previous compilers like Dr.Manchala Jagannatha Rao (published by TTD) and Sri T.S. Parthasarathy, with an occasional reference to the monumental work of Sri.Govinda Rao, when necessary. This book serves the multiple objectives, such as: to provide for the lovers of Carnatic music, -- and particularly Thyagarajs's-who do not know Telugu, a version in English script notation. The saint-composer conceived of 'Svara, raga sudharasayuta BHAKT' as heavenly. Indeed, in the next line of the song he proclaimed that those who stop with enjoying the great music alone are like herons and frogs sitting on a red lotus, missing the honey within. The heart melted by the music, is meant to receive the Bhava, the Bhakti. The vast circle of ardent lovers of Thyagayya's music in India and abroad needed to be furnished with accurate and complete meaning of every line of his compositions. Perhaps there is no book in Telugu giving all the songs of Sri Thyagaraja with their meanings. It was inaugurated at the 2008 annual celebration of the Thyagaraja Aradhana Samiti at Cleveland USA.
