Very * Beautiful

This is another kriti on Nadopasana or worship through music. In the Carnatic music tradition, the seven notes of the scale, Sa-Ri-Ga-Ma-Pa-Dha-Ni are each personified and said to be resident in (i.e. arise from) a part of the vocal faculty in the human body. Each note is also associated with a presiding deity. It is this concept that is alluded to here. The text in the Pallavi literally reads something like "adore the beautiful (persons) of the lustrous seven notes". So I have given it equivalently as forms and have used "sing" as in a context of worship.

O mind! Of the seven notes shining,
Of their charming forms, must you sing!


From the navel, heart, throat, nose and tongue,
Arise these seven notes, when sung.

They pervade in Rik, Saman and the others,
In the very heart of the most sacred verse,
In the minds of gods and the godlike,
And in this goodly bard, alike.

Meaning :
O Elegant Lord who is adept in the four-fold actions (of rAja dharma) - conciliation, gift or bribe, creation of dissension and punishment! O Lord praised by this tyAgarAja!
Which God is equal to You?
Deign to protect me.
But, rAvaNa, being the eminent devotee of the great Lord Siva, failed to understand Your words!
You conveyed well a lot of beneficial words; You said that ‘I shall offer even ayOdhyA for ever’; when he (rAvaNa) did not mend his ways even after anointing vibhIshaNa – his brother who supplicated before You – as King of lankA, You ultimately slayed him.

wonder

Oh One with the radiant hue of the emerald! Pray be aware of the yearning of my mind. Oh Protector of devotees from shame and disgrace! Oh Benefactor of the solar race! You are the sole refuge and none else. Oh Aananda Hriday - the One with a heart brimming over with bliss! In the past, as my kindly Lord, you protected me with affection and compassion but of what avail is it if you do not deign to clasp my hand and grace me when I need you most?

Raag athana.. why you don't feel for me mY Lord Rama.............................. O BAla! One adorned with rich garments! O Protector of the virtuous! O joy of Lakshmi! Wielder of arrows! Bestower of auspiciousness! Treasure of companion! O cloud like hued! O adorned with vanamAla! O DEva among the celestials! Come. One with great reputation! O Lotus-eyed! Come. One belonging to the solar race! One who is surrounded by those whose hearts are filled with nectar! One who is as majestic as the ocean! O Destroyer of Asuras! One as beautiful as Cupid! One who converses with the wise! Essence of all the VEdas! You are the King of Kings, your feet are praised by sages; sun and moon are your eyes, you bestow refuge, most beautiful, praised by Siva who adorsn crescent , you have Garuda the king of birds as your vehicle, Your feet are praised by DEvendra, father or Brahma, who shines like a crore of suns, you are like lion to the elephant of demons, your face is like the lotus. O Lord, why does your grace elude me? You are the Protector of YAgas, praised by righteous men, meditated upon by ascetics. You are permanent without beginning or end, recline upon AdiSesha, bestower of boons to GAjEndra, decked wit the Punnaga flower, remover of sins forever, your feet held by AnjanEya, the son of VAyu. You are the subject of scriptures and you are desireless. O Lord, why does your grace elude me? Lord! Your grace still eludes me. I dread the prospect of your abandoning me forever. Is not this the right moment to protect me? O BAla, do come in all your majesty adorned by royal ornaments and reesplendent weapons riding on GaruDa surrounded by celestials and sages. Let me submerge in the divine tranquility radiated by your charming countenance. Has not that transquility been declared by the VEdas and Upanishads as the highest acquisition and as the Supreme goal of all human spiritual endeavor?

Raag poorvi Kalyani.. meaning of life.. why to fear for/ of all like death, disease and all related.. upward journey and all.. if one has your karuna drishti nothing matters.. Bless only this on me ..Thyagaraja says... lets do the bhajan of Rama from heart .. for is the right path of moksha ..

very true Devi Ji.. in raag dhanyasi . bhakti guides you on the right path for salvation.. like how bringi , mathanga narada and all is the hidden secret why they always are with the divine music knowledge .. not only the knowledge music gives you the right sense of proportion , judgement at various spheres ,. and we also come to know that falling in maya is biggest sin.. , so this divine knowledge not only makes one over come maya but even the kayaja and all other six gunas too.. tyagaraja knows this thats --the reason he pleads you O! Rama to bless him always to be with this divine knowledge for ever.....

Hey Rama..Is it so tough for you to take care this tyagaraaja .in Raag Vasantha bhairavai set to adi Taal.. ..How tyagaraja Asks Lord Rama in various ways for many.. so please tell me why you are not looking at me O! Rama.................

beautiful album.. captivating kritis at heart.. wonderful voice ...

Raagam Abheri, taalam adi.. Tyagaraja Is pleading rama.. What alife it iwll be afutile if I can't have a glimpse of you rama.. My life of no use.. so please care me and bless me rama.. like how nagaraja and all had drshan of you else could they survive... on earth ... . if they haven't been blessed by the karuna drishti of yours .. Khagaraju .too . had set to work immediately without even thinking the distance between earth and heaven.. so O king of all worlds.. care this tyagaraja too...

Raagam Jaganmohini.. adi taal.. swar taala laya composition of saint tyagaraja..... Like how one chants Gyatri mantra at heart, so even sense the sapta swara at heart ( Sa Ri Ga Ma Pa dha Ni ) at heart for the very divine sound are always chanted by great sages like Narada , This Tyagaraja too prays for the very celestial boon so I can worship my Lord even more at heart...
