SrI:

 

Dear NaadhOpAsakAs : Srimathy Vasumathy Badrinathan is a multi-talented ,

Research-minded Musician-Cum- Bharatha Naatyam dancer residing in Mumbay .

She has released before number of Casettes including one on

AzhwA Paasurams tuned in different RaagAs .

 

On 7th March , she had a mjor first time event in Mumbay focusing on

past and present Women Composers . Starting from Andal to current day

composers , Smt.Vasumathy BadrinAthan covered the Krithis of women

composers

spanning Twelve Centuries .

 

I am pleased to learn that one of the present day women cmposers included

in

her honoring was my sister, Sangeetha VidvAmsini Padma VeerarAghavan of

West Mambalam . My sister has composed and tuned more that 200 krithis in

ghana and Apoorva Raagams along with many tillaanAs and VarNams for

use in Bharatha Naatyam . Notable among her creative output is a varNam on

Nava NarasimhAs of Ahobilam and a set of 72 Krithis in MeLa Raagams

starting from KanakAngi . The Mela Raaga Krithis in VakuLAbharaNam ,

Navaneetham on Lord Oppiliappan are very enjoyable . Very few male or

female

composers have attempted to compose krithis in the 72 Mela Raagams .

 

Our congratulations go to Smt.Vasumathy BadrinAthan for her pioneering

efforts

to the women composers , who need to be recognized for their talent &

Bhakthi .
