Guest guest Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 Dear Rathiji, Thank you very much.I am glad you have the CD of Dr.Omanakutty. Hope you liked it.Let me explain to you how everything happened with HIS kindness or Kaarunyam. Mookam Karothi Vaachaalam , Pnghum langhayathe Girim Yatkripaa thamaham vande paramaananda Maadhavam. "I salute that Madhava,the source of Supreme bliss,whose Gracemakes the dumb eloquent and the cripple cross mountains" My husband, Narayanankutty Menon had no knowledge of classical carnatic music,no special education in malaya;am, and only high scholl education in sanskrit. He had never written a poem till the age of 60.He never used to go for any classical concert. I am sure, our friend, respected, chandranMenonji wouldhave been surprised to hear that he wrote krithis because he knew him when he was in his twenties. As everybody else from our native place he used to go to Guruvayur whenever possible. We used to hear carnatic songs while travelling in the car.He had avery good sense of thaalam which he found out when our daugther was learning bharatnatyam . Afew daysafter he was 60years old, one night,, he had a dream that he was singing classical music in the kizhakke nada of Guruvayur temple. He told me about it the next day..I told him that is just a dream because I knew he could not sing one line even in sruthi!! The next day, the dream repeated. He said that Guruvayurappan told him to write classical carnatic music aboutHIM in simple language so that ordinary people can understand. HE wanted these songs to be propogated among the devotees. The dream repeated a few times. So he asked our friend, a music teacher. She said jestingly to write Hari OM Narayana and let us see.He did it and in a few days, he waslistening to a song, in raga, reethigowla, when he suddenly got one song in his mind and he wrote it down immediately. He asked the musician who is our friend to look into it. One line in anupallavi did not come out right ,she said. Anyway, he wrote 6 songs within two weeks.Hewanted to get guidance from the Loed whether he should continue writing . So he submitted this to melsanthi of Guruvayur temple through one of our friends in Guruvayur.The priest gave the papers back with prasadam inside. To his dismay, the line which was thought to be wrong had disappeared from the paper because of the prasadam!!Suddenly he was able to correct it and our friend approved of it! Hearing his story, Dr. Omanakutty, a great devotee of Guruvayurappan kindly consented to sing these songs in Melpattur auditorium and make CDs. Now he has written more than 200songs and a dance drama Manjulacharitham, which was performed in melpattur auditorium by Noopura dance school in calicut.Many of the listeners of these songs tell us they get mental peace and joy ,which gives us gratifiation. he still wonders if he is writing these songs!!Guruvayurappan,s leelas are unfathomable .. I am glad you liked Krishna paripahimam. May Guruvayurappan bless you and all the devotees. regrds, Sreedevi Menon Om Namo narayanaya --- On Sun, 2/1/09, rethymurali <rethy.m wrote: rethymurali <rethy.m[Guruvayur] Krishna Paripahimam...guruvayur Date: Sunday, February 1, 2009, 8:44 PM dear sreedeviji.. ...Great work by your blessed husband-Mr.Menon.

Guest guest Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 Dear Seemaji, Thank you very much. The CDs will only be available in India in Guruvayur westnada shop, Vishal store Please write here, if they do not have it .we will arrange for more delivery of the CD . These CDs are sold not for any profit, but to cover the cost of making the CDs and to have concerts of these songs by musicians every year. as Archana in Guruvayur temple.I am sure, Guruvayurppan has HIS own plans for thiese. As you wrote,. may Guruvayurappan give my husband health and knowledge to continue writing these songs. May God bless yuo and all gurudevs. regards, Sreedevi Om Namo Narayanaya --- On Tue, 3/3/09, Seema Ravindran <seemawarrier wrote: Seema Ravindran <seemawarrierRe: [Guruvayur] Krishna Paripahimam...guruvayur Date: Tuesday, March 3, 2009, 6:03 AM Sreedeviji, Your husband is really lucky to have been so blessed by Guruvayoorappan.
