Dharmapuram Thiru Swaminathan

[wrap07]

He sang Panniru Thirumurai and various devotional hymns in the Odhuvar tradition. He, during his six decades of devotional pursuit propagated Tevara Isai and panniru thirumurais as his lifetime pursuit. His association with several temple renovation projects and his voluntary contribution through his music towards such noble endeavours form an endless list.

He has been an A Grade artist of AIR since 1952. The number of discs to his credit is 12 discs and 700 audiocassettes. Awards and Honours have been showered on him for his unique contribution to this sphere of devotional music.

"It would take eight years to complete Panniru Thirumurai lectures if conducted once a month, on a Sunday. Dharmapuram Swaminathan did it thrice. Once at the Hindu Theological School on behalf of Chennai Sivanadiar Thirukottam, the second event at Sengunthar Kottam Sivasubramania Swamy Temple at Saidapet and for the third time at Karaneeswarar temple at Mylapore. It was a marathon effort!"

Dharmapuram Swaminathan has attained immortality by the divine rendering of panniru thirumurai, thirupugazh and thiruartupa.

கணீரென்ற குரலில் உருக்கமாக இவர் பாடிய பன்னிரு திருமுறைகளும், கோயில்களில் ஒலித்துக் கொண்டிருக்கின்றன. "ஓதாமல் ஒரு நாளும் இருக்க வேண்டாம்"-இதன் முழு வடிவம். நால்வர் பாடல்களும், பல பதிகங்களும், திருப்புகழ், திருவருட்பா, மேலும் பல பக்தி பாடல்களைப் பாடியவர். தேவார இசைக்காகவே, தன் வாழ் நாள் முழுவதையும் அற்பணித்துக் கொண்டவர்.
