[Guest guest]

Dear Raama BhakthAs :

 

Back in 1989 , adiyEn wrote one essay on each of the Five

Ghana Raaga Pancharathnams set in Naattai , GhouLai , Aarabhi ,

VarALi and Sri Raagams .The purpose was for the Musicians

and Musicologists to enjoy the krithis with additional knowledge

of the meaning of the divine Saahithyams .

 

During 1990 , thse essays were released in a book format with

forewords from HH Kaanchi SankarachArya of Kaama Koti PeeDam ,

Sangeetha Kalanidhis (Late ) Semmangudi SrinivAsa Iyer and

K.V.Narayanaswamy , Composer Dr.Svarna VenkatEsa Dikshithar

of Chidambharam .

 

The annotated commentary came to 336 Pages and contains

many references to Raama Bhakthi of Saint ThyagarAja , AzhwArs

and quotations from VedAs relating to SaraNAthy Tatthvam .

 

These five essays are in Tamil with extensive quotations in Sanskrit

and English . The essays discuss Raaga LakshaNams , bhakthi-laden

Padha prayOgams found in these magnificent Krithis .

 

We made 1000 copies of the book and only one is left with me now ,

here in New York . Back in India , My sister may have a copy or two .

As the BaguLa Panchami day approaches and the Annual AarAdhanam

festival takes place

 

I am thinking of scanning the original book ( 336 pages of tem all )

and place it as a scanned document for world wide availability .

 

I will be happy to lend this Library copy to a Volunteer , who may

wish to take part in the scanning of these pages and create

the digital document .

 

Are there any volunteers ? Please contact me if interested

to join in this Kaimkaryam to the Carnatic Music world ?

 

Thanks in advance ,
