This beautiful rendition stands as a witness that Swamy Sadhguru Thyagaraja Swamigals Keerthanas will be young and immortal for ever and would take millions of people to the depth of peaceful bliss. My heart felt appreciation to Thiru.SP Ramh avargal. What a chemistry between Lord Rama's wonderful qualities and Sadhguru Thiyagaraja Swamigals desire free devotion!

I am interested in this inspired artist going to thiruvaiaru sannidhi on a day alone bet 11 am and 12 noon, rendering it to St Thyagaraja and record it. The outcome is going to be be something surprising!

[@mysuruvasudevacharya]

Superb ! Vandanamu Ragam Sahana 28th Mela Janya Rupaka Talam Thyagarajar Krithi In this song Tyagaraja implores Rama to dwell in his heart always. He tries to convince in many ways. He praises, invites and surrenders as a true devotee. Hea also depicts how prahlAda pleads with Lord to have mercy on him. This song is another from the Prahalada Bhakti Vijayam cycle. Its simple structure, rhyme and metrical symmetry make it suitable for group singing in a call-response form as well as normal rendition by a single performer. The fastidious may note a mythological anachronism in this song. As it is from the Prahalada cycle, we can surmise that it appears to Tyagaraja that Prahalada prays thus to Rama. However, in commonly held mythology, Prahalada figured in the fourth incarnation of Vishnu, that of Nrsimha or the Man-Lion. Rama was the seventh incarnation and was born ages after Prahalada's time. Even the line of the Raghus had not yet been founded. This song too, thus shows Tyagaraja's propensity for Ishta Devata Aradhana, or worship of a personal deity, a concept discussed elsewhere. This concept makes the seeming anachronism consistent, for we next encounter the reference to Wealth being His consort, rendering this as a case of pars pro toto. Shahana is one of the gems of the Carnatic system. It is not easily imparted and needs some maturity for an exposition, but it can convey extraordinary emotional content. There is a tradition in many parts that this raga must not be taught by a teacher lest the tutelage would break prematurely. It is often postponed to the end of the training period. As can be concluded from its complex ascent and descent schema, it may not be easy to compose such simple lyrics and music for it as in this song without oversimplification. From personal experience too, I think it can sometimes be hard to compose in it. Compare this with the song emaanticchevo, which we shall soon cover. That is a more mature work in terms of sustention of phrases, shows the complex layers of Shahana more and contains rich emotional expression. P vandanamu raghu nandanA sEtu bandhanA bhakta chandanA rAma Salutations to Raghunandana the builder of the bridge on the sea, the favourite of devotees. C1 Sree damA nAtO vAdamA nE bhEdamA idi mOdamA rAma Why debate, why indifference, is this happy to you Rama? C2 Sree ramA hrutchAramA brOva bhAramA rAya bAramA rAma Oh, beloved of Sri Ramaa, is it a burden for you to save me? Why so much debate? C3 vinTini nammu konTini Sara NanTini rammanTini rAma I heard of you, surrendered to you and invited you, oh Rama. C4 ODanu bhakti veeDa norula vEDanu rAma I will not be defeated in my attempt. I'll not leave devotion to you. I'll not seek others' help. I am yours, Oh Rama. C5 kammani viDemimmani varamu kommani paluka rammani rAma You ask me for tasty betel leaves, you offer me boons and you call me to talk to you, Oh Rama. C6 nyAyamA nee kAdAyamA inka hEyamA muni gEyamA Is it reasonable? Is it beneficial to you? Do you hate me, Oh Rama? All the sages sing your praise C7 chooDumee kApADumee mammu pODimigA gooDumee rAma See me, save me, be with us, Oh Rama. C8 kshEmamu divya dhAmamu nitya nEmamu rAma nAmamu rAma Safe is your heavenly abode, your name is perpetually on my lips, Oh Rama. C9 vEgarA karuNA sAgarA Sree tyAgarAja hrudayAgAra rAma Come quickly, Oh Rama, the ocean of kindness. You dwell in the heart of Tyagaraja. Comments :- This Kriti is part of dance-drama 'Prahlada Bhakti Vijayam' The wordings of the kRti are as uttered by prahlAda addressed to the Lord. Sahana Ragam :- On listening to Sahana, the emotions that one experiences include compassion, pleading, fervent appeal, helpless surrender, and piety. A breathtakingly beautiful raga, Sahana gives peace to the inner self and soothes the artiste as well as the audience. This is a vakra raga and has notes in zig-zag patterns in the arohana and avarohana. The prayogas are given more importance than the mere scale itself, since ragas like Sahana live through their jiva prayogas (characteristic phrases). The notes in this raga apart from Sadja and Pancama are Chatusruti Rishabha, Antara Gandhara, Suddha Madhyama, Chatusruti Dhaivata and Kaisiki Nishada. The oscillations in the Rishabha, the long pauses in the Gandhara and the majestic glides from the Sadja to Pancama and then the Rishabha, all these are the stamps of Sahana. It is one of the most easily identified ragas, even by a lay listener of music; such is it's power to permeate the hearts of people. In classical music Sahana has been used widely by Thyagaraja and Dikshitar. The well-known “Sri Kamalambikayam” is a splendid navavarana by Dikshitar. Thyagaraja's “Vandanamu” has a simple charm as does his Kovur Pancaratna “E Vasudha”, while “Giripai” has a majestic grace. “Rama Ika Nannu” of Patnam Subramanya Iyer and “Chittam irangaada” of Papanasam Sivan are melting pieces.
