முத்துஸ்வாமி தீக்ஷிதர் அவர்களின் ஜீவனுள்ள பாடல் வரிகள், ராகம், பதம் எல்லாம் அற்புதம் என்றால் பாம்பே ஜெயஸ்ரீயின் குரல்வளம் தேனில் ஊரிய கற்கண்டு. திருச்சி, திருவானைக்கா அகிலாண்டேச்வரி அம்மாவை, எனது அம்மாவை மனதில் த்யானித்து, அமைதியாேடு, உபத்ரவம் ஏதும் இன்றி கேட்டால், நெஞ்சு நனைந்து கண்களில் வழிந்து, உடம்பெல்லாம் சிலிர்க்கிறது. நீங்களும் கேளுங்கள், அம்பாளின் அருள் கிடைக்கும்
Some fifty years back one evening around 6.30pm i was lucky to be in Trichy thiruvanaikaval temple premises when this song by MS was in the air thru loud speakers. So touching that it was a blissful evening in my life. Nothing but pure bhakthi filled my heart full.
Bombay Jayshri has the most soulful voice among the top Carnatic vocalists today. I was blessed to listen to her from close range when she performed at a function at a relative's house. What an amazing singer.
Compared to others singing this krithi Akhilandeswari the rendition of Smt Bombay Jayshree madam is the best superb no words to express the feelings and happiness and anyone can listen any number of times as this singing takes to some other loka Grateful to Jayshree madam🙏💐
Jayasree excels, as always. Great accompaniment. Love the way the mridangam is never unnecessarily harsh, thus letting the grand krti have its rightful place. Perfect for soulful listening.
This is the perfect tribute by a musician to M.S. Just like Arjuna leaving “namaskar” arrows to his guru Dronacharya or Bhisma pitamaha. Alapana and violin at the beginning is nothing but magical.
I am a srotha. I listen to carnatic music unmindful of the singer, raga, thala. Most of the songs sung are keerthanams i.e., lyrics in praise of the lord (in masculine or feminine form). They should be sung with bhakthi bhAvam only. This is the primary requirement in any rendition. Only then the others such as sAhithyam, rAgam, tAlam etc., come into being. In this respect, (Smt.s) MS amma, Vedavalli, Brinda, Mani Krishnaswamy etc., are my favourites. AND now, Smt.Bombay Jayashree. The thAdathmyam felt while listening to her is great. May Siva and Akhilandeswari bless her with health and wealth.
Every song has its own importance.The purpose is to sing with sruthi,layam &feel .The singer should have the ability to make the listener enjoy his/her song
Absolutely, Carnatic music is not just lyrics but immersing in devotion. Wonder how many understand the meaning in the composition in different languages. Carnatic music is all about spirituality. let me share KSS - keep spirituality simple to go with devotion - www.swacchDevalaya.org/spiritual (Samudran manthan) - Well received by people of all faith, share in public places with half a sheet of paper.
A beautifully crafted dwjavanti. wow! what a superb & scintillating voice. Jayasree is a truely living nightingale of carnatic music. All her renditions are like lullaby! May god bless us with her concerts for many more years.
Lovely Rendition and Excellent Tributes to MSS Amma who has made this song Her Own ! Interesting Read on ! Akhilandeswari...Ragam dwijawanti Adi talam Muthuswamy Dikshitar . Story :- The one key story which appears in the song is that of "lambOdara guruguha pUjitE" which talks about Goddess Akilandeswari being worshipped by Ganapathy and Guruguha - who is Subramanya. This pertains to the Goddess being in a state of anger - which was dissipated by Adi Sankara who took all that anger in the form of tadanga (ear rings) and put it on the ears of the Goddess and also put the idols of Ganapathy and Muruga in front of the Goddess so that she sees her sons all the time and hence becomes pacified. In this kruti Dikshitar describes Mother Sridevi as the Goddess of the universe worshipped by Guru Guha and Ganesa. He adds that she is the bestower of knowledge and that she is the supreme protector. P akhilAnDESwari raksha mAm Agama sampradAya nipuNE Sri || Oh Akhilandeswari(Goddess of the universe),please protect me. You are par excellent in vedas and scriptures. AP nikhila lOka nityAtmikE vimalE nirmala SyAmalE sakala kaLE || You are the eternal soul of all the lokas. You are unblemished and adept in all arts. C lambOdara guru guha pujitE lambAlaka bhAsitE hasitE vAgdEvatA ArAdhite varadEn vara Saila rAja sutE SAradE jambhAri sambhAvitE janArdana nutE dwijAvanti rAga nutE jalli maddaLa jarjhara vAdya nAda muditE jNAna pradE || You are worshipped by Ganesa and Guru Guha. Your tresses are long and and your smile has radiance.You are worshipped by the Goddess of learning(Saraswati).You bestow boons.You are the excellent daughter of the king of mountains. You are Sarada adored by Indra and Janardana(Vishnu) You are delighted by the rhythm of different percussion instruments.You are the bestower of knowledge. Dwijavanthi is the janyam of 28th melakartha "Harikambhoji" The actual name for this raga according to the sangeeta makaranda, Ramamatya and other scholars is Dwijayavanti (raga of the twice-born). Dwijavanthi is not a purely Carnatic raga; it has been imported from Hindustani strain where it is known by the name of Jayjayawanthi In the north (Hindustani Classical) it changed to Jayajayavanti, whilst in the south the raga nomenclature changed to Dwijavanti. The name "Jujavanti" can easily be taken as a non-grammatical name of Dwijavanti. Aa: S R2 M1 G3 M1 P D2 S Av: S N2 D2 P M1 G3 M1 R2 G2 R2 S N2 D2 N2 S His two famous compositions: ‘Akhilaandeshwari Rakshamaam’ and ‘Chethashri Baalakrishnam’ are two gems in Dwijavanti. To this day, these two songs stand as references for this raaga.
Amazing range of moods and great depth of expressions. And the undercurrents of an inbuilt passion unforseen in classical singers make her extraordinary - She is a maestro
Bakthi pravagam ! bakthi kaviri vellam ! Bombay Jayashree Rendition Divine blessing for all of us ! Kapalee! Kapalee ! We need your blessings to continue to immerse in the bakthi flood !
Such a Lovely Divine voice really Excellent. No words to express. I am totally immersed in her blissful voice. Very great fan of hers.Beautiful Dwajawanti
Akhilandeswari Raksha Maam , Agama sampradhaya nipune Sri........... Nikhila loka nithyathmike , vimale , Nirmale , Shyamale , sakala kale!!!! We should know that Sri Muthuswamy Dikshitar was a great Devi Upasaka and was well versed in all aspects of Sri Vidya Upasana. Out of his devotion to Sri Kamalamba, (one of the 64 Sakti Peethams in India), the celebrated deity at the famous Thyagaraja Temple in Tiruvarur and his compassion for all bhaktas, Sri Muthuswamy Dikshitar composed the Kamalamba Navavarana kritis, expounding in each of the nine kritis, the details of the each avarana of the Sri Chakra, including the devatas and the yoginis. Singing these kritis with devotion, sraddha and understanding would be the easy way to Sri Vidya Upasana! The ragam Jujavanthi or Jaijaiwanti is a Hindustani classical raga belonging to Khamaj Thaat. According to the Guru Granth Sahib, this raga is a mixture of two others: Bilaval and Sorath. The raga appears in the latter section in Gurbani, as only four hymns were composed by Guru Tegh Bahadur, the ninth guru. These hymns were added by his son and successor Guru Gobind Singh in 1705 A.D. This raga is not mentioned in any Indian classical scriptures on music nor in the Ragmala. Its known as 'Dwijavanti' in carnatic Music that derives its roots from the Hindustani Raag Jaijaiwanti. Muthuswami Dikshitar, one of the Carnatic Trinity, is widely acknowledged as the one who introduced Dwijavanti in Carnatic Music. His two famous compositions: This one....‘Akhilaandeshwari Rakshamaam’ ( the one played here in Violin) and ‘Chethashri Baalakrishnam’ are two gems in Dwijavanti. To this day, these two songs stand as references for this raaga. many think that Dwijavanti is slow-paced and sedate. But, there are two faster thillanas in this raaga, composed by Dr. M. Balamuralikrishna and Lalgudi Jayaraman. Other songs include: Engu naan selven (Periyasami Thooran) and Parama mangalade (Harikesanallur Muthiah Bhaagavathar). While Dwijavanti ( S R2 G3 M1 P D2 S / S N2 D2 P M1 G3 M1 R2 G2 R2 S) which is devoid of Nishadam in Arohanam and a vakra-swora in Avarohanam has a distinct flavour, when trying to sing/play it, one might notice that it rubs shoulders with Sahana, in certain phraseology. And, with Sahana being a more popular raga in Carnatic, all need to stay wary while trying to practice Dwijavanti. Dwijavanti is not strictly scale-based, but the swaras in it include: Ri2, Ga3, Ma1,Pa, Da2, Ni2 as shown above and a distinct Ga2 on descent. Signature phrases include: |ri ga ma pa ma ga ma ri ga2 ri|| ; | ri ga ma ni da pa ma ga ma ri ga2 ri|| ; |ri ni,, da pa ma ga ma ri ga2 ri||; | pa Ri.. ni da pa ma ga ma ri ga2 ri|| and more such. Though some feel that this raga is slightly limited in scope, several artistes have explored this raaga extensively in Ragam-Thanam-Pallavi. I have listened this keerthanam's rendition by the Sangheetha Pithamaha first decades back....later on by Maharajapuram Santhanam and M.S Amma.. Now by Bombay jayasree too! Good recital .
Always in such videos with rare songs, infrequently sung ones ,kindly detail below caption with composer, raagam, taalam, players on the pakkavadiyam- due credit goes to them to bring out the overall effect of this rendition
