Superb Taken me back to my Childhood days ! Nagumomu Ganaleni Raga Abheri, 22 karaharapriya janya Taalam: Adi Thyagarajar Krithi Aa: S G2 M1 P N2 S Av: S N2 D2 P M1 G2 R2 S In this keertana, TyagarAja says that he is not able to see the ever smiling face of Rama because of his pitiable condition and requests him to protect. He says that the God protected Gajendra without any delay and questions him why he is delaying in his case. P nagu mOmu gana lEni nA jAli thelisi nanu brOva rArAdA Sree raghuvara nee || I am not able to see your smiling face. You know my pitiable state. Why don't you come to protect me Oh Raghuvara. AP naga rAja dhara needu pari varu lella vogi bOdhana chEsE vArulu gArE aTulunDa durA nee || You lifted (Govardhana) mountain. Your kinsmen may not advise you to be unhelpful to me. C khaga rAju nee Anati vini vEga chana lEdO gaganAniki ilaku bahu doorambani nADO jaga mElE para mAtmA yavari tO mora liDu du vaga choopaku tALanu nannElu kOrA tyAgarAja nuta nee || Garuda the king of birds obeyed your orders and flew at once. Did he say that sky is too far from the earth. Oh the protector of the world, who else can I approach. Do not ignore me. I cannot bear. Protect me, Oh Lord of Tyagaraja. Gist :- Knowing that bereft of Your smiling face, Distraught is my state, Foremost of the Raghus, won't You Come to me, to alleviate? Bearer of the king of mounts! The members of Your retinue, They who give good counsel, Could they fail to remind You? Does not the king of birds Hasten to do Your bidding? Or did he find, Heaven to Earth, A distance too forbidding? O Supreme Self who rules over all, Who else but You, can I invoke! Elude and leave me not in a pall, Take your bard under Your yoke. Nagaraaja is frequently interpreted as the Govardhana hill of the Krishnaavatara. But Govardhana is only described as a hill. Nagaraaja literally means king of mountains. So, Mount Mandara, which is one of the 7 major mountains, and can be called the king of mountains, is more appropriate. Vishnu in the Kurmavatara, as the Great Tortoise, supported Mandara on his back, when it was used to churn the Ksheera Saagara or ocean of milk. The king of the birds is Garuda. Also, there are more references to Vishnu and Heaven in the kriti, like retinue, Garuda's abode in the heavens etc, than to Krishna and Earth. So, Mandara is again more consistent. Rather than give the literal but convoluted, "one praised by Tyagaraja" for the last line, I have given the much nicer "bard". I have similarly varied my rendition of his "mudra" or lyrical stamp, in the remaining kritis too. The following is a plainer and simpler translation that captures the gist. . Lost am I, Vexed am I, O Valiant Prince, Sans Thy smiling face! Grant Thy saving grace! . In the days of yore, My Lord, A mountain bore, For the hosts of Heaven and Hell. Needeth He, His council's tell? . Does not the king of birds Hasten to do Thy bidding? Or did he find, Heaven to Earth, A distance too forbidding? . Lord of All, my sole refuge, Forsake me not, by subterfuge! Raga Abheri Janyam of 22nd mela Karaharapriya. Aro: S G2 M1 P N2 S Av: S N2 D2 P M1 G2 R2 S Abheri as we know it today is one of the most attractive and popular ragas. It is known in North India by the name Bhimpalasi and Sri Muthuswamy Dikshitar affectionately called it Devagandharam. It is also called Karnatakadevagandhari in texts of music. Abheri is synonymous with “Nagumomu ganaleni” composed by Saint Thyagaraja, a lilting composition with a light hint of pathos. I often see people requesting “Eppadi padinaro,” a Tamil composition of Suddhananda Bharati popularised by D.K Pattammal, or “Bhajare manasa” of Mysore Vasudevachar. Abheri is often confused with Suddha Dhanyasi. The difference is that Abheri has nishada and rishabha in the descent while Suddha Dhanyasi is a symmetrical scale. I hear you, I will not go into technical details - just a bit of information to whet your appetite for music.

Thanks for sharing karakurichi Arunachalam s nadaswaram. Superb

Divine musician no one can equal this mastero all the nadaswara vidwan should have listen and learn such a god gift

WOW I AM REALLY LUCKY TODAY TO WATCH THIS VIDEO, THANKS TO ALL. WHAT A WONDERFUL PLAY BY SHRI ARUNACHALAM GARU. FELL PROUD WE HAVE A GREAT MUSICIANS.

Great.Pranams to Late.sri karukurichi arunachalam.I remember his performance during Tenkasi Kasi viswanathar 7th day ustasvam during Masi Thirunal.

Missing my dear appa and chittappa . Their favorite nadaswara vidwan 🙏🙏 we still have the LP record !! Wish you tube was there

When we hear grest. KAbheri Raaga keerthanai in Nadaswaram we face the experience of divinity, that too rendered by genius like Karukurichi Arunachalam. This might perhaps been rendered more than half a century back but yet the recording is superb Thank you for uploading this brilliant recital.

EXCELLENT, MAVELLOUS, WOUNDERFUL,HIGHLY SOOTHING & SOULFUL NADASWARAM BY KARUKURICHI

+heard his live concert. I had the opportunity of hearing Karukurichi Arunachalam, thanks to great music lover Simpson Venkatraman(late ) of T.Nagar, Chennai who used to bring arunachalam very often for aradhana, by spending his own money. The concert used to be for atleast 6 hours or more. What a great time at RKM school ground, my contemporarys might remember this. Only one word after this genious and a very few nadaswaram players are there in their own village have not come to lime light. WHAT A WO NDERFUL INSTRUMENT. in tamil-indha kalaye azhinduvidumpol irukkiradhu? Thanks to Hindumarriages where this could be heard.

I had heard Karukurichi Sri. Arunachalam in person when he used to come to our Village Temple's 5th Day Festival at Tirukurungudi and perform frree of cost during procession of Temple deity from 10 pm to 06 am every year. He was simply awesome. His Nadhaswaram is immortal

Mindblowing

H a ha Melodious Icon We all r blessed to hear

Excellent!!! No words to say on the performance, Especially the Alapana.

Yenna Kuzhaivu! Yenna Suddham! Genius!

Govt of India should recognise this MAESTRO suitably.I have many cassets with me .I had listened to his ENCHANTING performanse .ONLY BLESSED PERSONS BY GOD ALMIGHTY CAN PERFORM IN SUCH INIMITABLE STYLE.tHERE WILL NOT BE ANOTHER KARAIKURICHI .

I have had the fortune of hearing the Nadhashwaram recital of Karukurichi Arunachalam, in my early teens,at the Thai Poosam festival of Sri.Thirumalaikkumaraswami Temple of Panpoli,near Tenkasi. Though I have no musical knowledge, I was spell bound by hearing his music through Records,Cassettes and CDs.If he was born in Thanjavur delta, he would have been famous,surpassing that of T.N.Rajarathinam PILLAI.

No words spell bound Kodi Shastanga namaskaram to your sir Ever green song in the list of your renderings

Simply extra-ordinary in all aspects - raga alapana, keertana rendering and mind-boggling swarakalpana. Thanks a lot for posting this master piece.

Mayakkum ganam salute to his feet

Beautiful collection.excellent

எனக்கு இந்த சங்கீத சங்கதிகள் ஒண்ணும் தெரியாது. ஆனால் இந்த இசையாநுபவத்தை கேட்டு மனமுருகத் தெரியும்.

sad,we lost a legend! what a way to perform! thanks,somebody has preserved it!

Excellent rendering of "NAGUMOMU", a Thayagaraja's favourite by Karukurichi Arunachalam, a legend in playing the Nadhaswaram. This raga is called as Karnataka Devaghandari or Abhri or Bhimpalasi in Hindustani music. Enjoyed well.

The man gives the Holiest feeling from his Nadham.

ஆபேரி ....ஈடுயிணையில்லா வாசிப்பு .. சத்தம் இனிமை ..மாமேதை காருகுறிச்சி ...

కాలంతో పాటు మారిపోయేది కాదు సంగీతం. అందునా ఇలాంటి మహానుభావులు వేసిన బాటలు చెరగనివి. ఆ బాణీ ఇతరులకు సాాధ్యం అయేది కాదు. తన్మయాన్ని అందిస్తూనే ఉంటుంది. జోహార్లు.

Super karukuruchijis nadaswaram no one can play like this
