One RICH-VOICED Kuyil (Kokila / Cuckoo) ...

--- SLEEPING within KANNADA-CAGE. !



Yes. The entire Sangeetha-world including even the Kannada Song lovers have not utilized adequately--

--- this Kuyil Ms. Sangeetha Swaminathan --

-- GOD-GIVEN GIFT for Humanity

Endowed with such an abundantly rich GNB Standard BRIGHA SAAREERAM (Very very rare now-a-days)--

--we the Rasikas are at a GREAT LOSS-- by keeping such an UNIQUE TREASURE practically UNDER-UTILIZED or almost UNUTILIZED during the present days.

For example the below-mentioned Purandara dasa's Keerthana was introduced and popularised to the Music world by GNB.

We find this Kuyil is rendering the same feast to us-- with more ANALYTICAL NUANCES--

--- by means of apt and profound Gamakas and Brighas--

--exhibiting the True shape of Durga Raga by well defining with a Dividing line to differentiate from its nearest and Similar Raga : SUDDHA-SAAVERI


DHARMA-SRAVANA - Ragam: DURGA

http://old.musicindiaonline.com/p/x/...vgS.As1NMvHdW/


And another popular Keerthana of Purandara-dasa in SUDDHA-DHANYASI too by this Great Singer--

--how Unique, MELLIFLUOUS and Rich by Classical Values.!.

Well-differentiating from its nearest Raga: "UDHAYA RAVI-CHANDRIKA".!!!

--- Yes . A Clean SUDDHA-DHANYASI -- Soulfully we enjoy.! Is it Not.?


- NARAYANA - Suddha Dhanyaasi

Dear Sudarshan CR,

Thanks a lot for your promptness and sincerity to reply in detail, taking much pains.

We find this Kuyil is rendering the same feast to us-- with more ANALYTICAL NUANCES--

--- by means of apt and profound Gamakas and Brighas--

--exhibiting the True shape of Durga Raga by well defining with a Dividing line to differentiate from its nearest and Similar Raga : SUDDHA-SAAVERI

She needs some more training to pronounce Kannada words perfectly

I see. Will you please quote those specifically so that Rasikas will not get misguided by wrong pronunciation by just one Sangeetha Vidwamsini.

And I too am able to identify one such of her wrong in Sahithya. While the correct wordings must be as below – as you have rightly presented---

---and all other Vidwans, (For example GNB, Hyderabad Brothers, Priya Sisters) are singing correctly---

sRuShTiyoLu adhamage puraMdara viThThalana
muTTi bhajipeneMba abhilAShe Etake

---this Musician Ms SANGEETHA SWAMINATHAN only is singing as---

--- “Srushtiyolhu adhama Purandara Vittala” which renders perverted sense---

--that the glorious Purandara Vittala is attributed as “ADHAMA”

karmAnuShTAnava esagadiruva
durmatigEtake brAhmaNa janma

I carefully observed that all the Vidwans including GNB and Ms Sangeetha Swaminathan are pronouncing as --- NESAGADIRUVA only,

--while you have written as ESAGADIRUVA.

Which one is correct.? What is the meaning please-- as NESAGADIRUVA.?

Or is the letter N is just a SANDHI-LETTER.?

Or is it just a SAMASTHA-PADAM to be clubbed with the previous word.?

Please clarify.

gArdhaba rOdana sahisalEtake shvAnage

why (Etake) should the dog (shvAna) bear (sahisalEtake) the crying (rOdana) of Donkey (gArdhaba)

While the varied senses of other analogues, followed by repeated ETAKE--- I am able to understand

---this One Upamana of Donkey and Dog, I am unable to catch the sense how does it fit in.

what is the use (Etake) of listening (shravaNa) to the
religious episodes (dharma) for an idiot (mUrKage)

I think the Word SHRAVANA means HEARING and NOT as “Listening”. Am I correct.?

Thanking You With Best Wishes,
Sudhaama

Dear Sudhaama

---this Musician Ms SANGEETHA SWAMINATHAN only is singing as---

--- “Srushtiyolhu adhama Purandara Vittala” which renders perverted sense---

--that the glorious Purandara Vittala is attributed as “ADHAMA”

I also observed the same – which is a costly mistake of pronounsing the word!!!

esagu = perform, do
esagadiruva (esagade+iruva) - not performing - not done properly
nesagadiruva (here ‘n’ can be a joining letter-like ‘lEsanesagadiruva-which means ‘could not be done good things (lEsu)’
in that case ‘ karmAnuShTAnavanesagadiruva’ should be one word which is very long, while singing some people has to divide into
‘karmAnuShTAnava esagadiruva’ but meaning remains same.
gArdabha rOdana sahisalEtake shvAnage- Etake is used with sahisu-which means bear. sahislEtake-why should bear?
It is the same ‘upamana’ as ‘veena gAna to kONage’
Basically ‘hearing –listening’ both are the same as ‘Alisuvudu-kELisikoLLuvudu’ in kannada.
As I mentioned in the beginning of the string there are no correct/perfect words available in English for some kannada words.
