Karukurichi Arunachalam -Nagumomu

[@nezukocute3878]

எனக்கு கற்நாடக இசையில் ஆர்வம் வர காரணம் நான் மாணவ பருவத்தில் இருந்த போது எங்க கிராமத்தில் திருமணம் கோவில் திருவிழா எதுவாக இருந்தாலும் மைக் செட் இல்லாமல் நடக்காது துவங்கும் போது மங்கள இசையுடன் துவங்க கருகுறச்சியார் நாதஸ்வர இசைதட்டுடன் தான் துவங்கும் முதலில் சாரணமாக கேட்ட என் செவி அதில் உள்ள இனிமையை ரசித்து என் தலை என்னையறியாமல் ஆட ஆரம்பித்தது பின்னர் நான் அதில் என் மனது லயிக்க ஆரம்பித்து பின்னர் படிப்படியாக ராகம் என்ன என்பதையும் அதற்கான தாளத்தையும் ஆடையாளம் காண முடிந்தது நான் சங்கீதம் கற்கவில்லை என்றாலும் தெறிந்து கொண்டு ரசிக்கிறேன்

Superb Taken me back to my Childhood days ! Nagumomu Ganaleni Raga Abheri, 22 karaharapriya janya Taalam: Adi Thyagarajar Krithi Aa: S G2 M1 P N2 S Av: S N2 D2 P M1 G2 R2 S In this keertana, TyagarAja says that he is not able to see the ever smiling face of Rama because of his pitiable condition and requests him to protect. He says that the God protected Gajendra without any delay and questions him why he is delaying in his case. P nagu mOmu gana lEni nA jAli thelisi nanu brOva rArAdA Sree raghuvara nee || I am not able to see your smiling face. You know my pitiable state. Why don't you come to protect me Oh Raghuvara. AP naga rAja dhara needu pari varu lella vogi bOdhana chEsE vArulu gArE aTulunDa durA nee || You lifted (Govardhana) mountain. Your kinsmen may not advise you to be unhelpful to me. C khaga rAju nee Anati vini vEga chana lEdO gaganAniki ilaku bahu doorambani nADO jaga mElE para mAtmA yavari tO mora liDu du vaga choopaku tALanu nannElu kOrA tyAgarAja nuta nee || Garuda the king of birds obeyed your orders and flew at once. Did he say that sky is too far from the earth. Oh the protector of the world, who else can I approach. Do not ignore me. I cannot bear. Protect me, Oh Lord of Tyagaraja. Gist :- Knowing that bereft of Your smiling face, Distraught is my state, Foremost of the Raghus, won't You Come to me, to alleviate? Bearer of the king of mounts! The members of Your retinue, They who give good counsel, Could they fail to remind You? Does not the king of birds Hasten to do Your bidding? Or did he find, Heaven to Earth, A distance too forbidding? O Supreme Self who rules over all, Who else but You, can I invoke! Elude and leave me not in a pall, Take your bard under Your yoke. Nagaraaja is frequently interpreted as the Govardhana hill of the Krishnaavatara. But Govardhana is only described as a hill. Nagaraaja literally means king of mountains. So, Mount Mandara, which is one of the 7 major mountains, and can be called the king of mountains, is more appropriate. Vishnu in the Kurmavatara, as the Great Tortoise, supported Mandara on his back, when it was used to churn the Ksheera Saagara or ocean of milk. The king of the birds is Garuda. Also, there are more references to Vishnu and Heaven in the kriti, like retinue, Garuda's abode in the heavens etc, than to Krishna and Earth. So, Mandara is again more consistent. Rather than give the literal but convoluted, "one praised by Tyagaraja" for the last line, I have given the much nicer "bard". I have similarly varied my rendition of his "mudra" or lyrical stamp, in the remaining kritis too. The following is a plainer and simpler translation that captures the gist. . Lost am I, Vexed am I, O Valiant Prince, Sans Thy smiling face! Grant Thy saving grace! . In the days of yore, My Lord, A mountain bore, For the hosts of Heaven and Hell. Needeth He, His council's tell? . Does not the king of birds Hasten to do Thy bidding? Or did he find, Heaven to Earth, A distance too forbidding? . Lord of All, my sole refuge, Forsake me not, by subterfuge! Raga Abheri Janyam of 22nd mela Karaharapriya. Aro: S G2 M1 P N2 S Av: S N2 D2 P M1 G2 R2 S Abheri as we know it today is one of the most attractive and popular ragas. It is known in North India by the name Bhimpalasi and Sri Muthuswamy Dikshitar affectionately called it Devagandharam. It is also called Karnatakadevagandhari in texts of music. Abheri is synonymous with “Nagumomu ganaleni” composed by Saint Thyagaraja, a lilting composition with a light hint of pathos. I often see people requesting “Eppadi padinaro,” a Tamil composition of Suddhananda Bharati popularised by D.K Pattammal, or “Bhajare manasa” of Mysore Vasudevachar. Abheri is often confused with Suddha Dhanyasi. The difference is that Abheri has nishada and rishabha in the descent while Suddha Dhanyasi is a symmetrical scale. I hear you, I will not go into technical details - just a bit of information to whet your appetite for music.

[@vallursivaraman4201]

When we hear grest. KAbheri Raaga keerthanai in Nadaswaram we face the experience of divinity, that too rendered by genius like Karukurichi Arunachalam. This might perhaps been rendered more than half a century back but yet the recording is superb Thank you for uploading this brilliant recital.

[@RaviKumar-sw9tc]

Excellent!!! No words to say on the performance, Especially the Alapana.

[@smahadevandevan6066]

EXCELLENT, MAVELLOUS, WOUNDERFUL,HIGHLY SOOTHING & SOULFUL NADASWARAM BY KARUKURICHI

[@leelasagarsrinivasan4857]

I had heard Karukurichi Sri. Arunachalam in person when he used to come to our Village Temple's 5th Day Festival at Tirukurungudi and perform frree of cost during procession of Temple deity from 10 pm to 06 am every year. He was simply awesome. His Nadhaswaram is immortal

[@ambalavananbavanan158]

I have had the fortune of hearing the Nadhashwaram recital of Karukurichi Arunachalam, in my early teens,at the Thai Poosam festival of Sri.Thirumalaikkumaraswami Temple of Panpoli,near Tenkasi. Though I have no musical knowledge, I was spell bound by hearing his music through Records,Cassettes and CDs.If he was born in Thanjavur delta, he would have been famous,surpassing that of T.N.Rajarathinam PILLAI.

[@maitri74]

He was the disciple of TNR. He was Picked up by TNR as a student at my uncles daughter's marriage by TNR seeing his Talent and learnt and imbibed music and finally both died of alcoholism, It is unfair and almost a sin to compare Guru and Sishya and Rajarathnam pillai has an unique place in Nadhaswaram.

[@swathisivaraman9533]

+heard his live concert. I had the opportunity of hearing Karukurichi Arunachalam, thanks to great music lover Simpson Venkatraman(late ) of T.Nagar, Chennai who used to bring arunachalam very often for aradhana, by spending his own money. The concert used to be for atleast 6 hours or more. What a great time at RKM school ground, my contemporarys might remember this. Only one word after this genious and a very few nadaswaram players are there in their own village have not come to lime light. WHAT A WO NDERFUL INSTRUMENT. in tamil-indha kalaye azhinduvidumpol irukkiradhu? Thanks to Hindumarriages where this could be heard.
