Om navasshivaya.......Dear friendz......Happy SIVARATRI to all of u...All of u .very well know that..Maa ayyagaru is qually famous with his title 'SARASWATHIPUTRA' and also 'Sivathandava' kartha.
As the work of maa ayyagaru's 'ASTAKSHARI KRUTHULU' editing is going on, I came to know many more krithis on 'SIVA'  also.

Some of the lyrics and ragas he composed them are as follows.

1.  Sivude chinmayude, sandehametiki........Marga hindola
2.  Siva nannu brovara.......................,,,,,,,,,,,Naaga deepaka
3.  Siva siva yani dalachave manasaa...........Kambhoji
4.  Sivudu karuna juchinanegada
     Madhavudu dorakutaina........................ .Manirangu.
5.  Sivuni dalachave manasaa.......................Kedaara
6.  Chinmayude sivudu.................................Hindola
7.  Siva sivayani bilachee sivakaramuga
     nilichee.....................................................Malahari
8.  Nannu rakshimpura Nataraaja murthy!....bilahari

So friendz....Though maa ayyagaru's ankitha mudra is 'ASTAKSHARI' in these krithis he addresses 'Siva' to convince VASUDEVA to shower kindness on his bhaktha (maa ayyagaru) to save him from these trama of 'JEEVANA CHAKRA' 'cause 
  "SIVAYA VISHNU rupaya...Siva rupaya VISHNAVE"
Is n't it?...Once again happy 'Sivaratri' and happy "Jagarana' in the  shrines of SIVA.  

Akhilandeswari-Dwijavanthi- MS SUBBULAKSHMI

....

Friendz dears......I am taken into the moods of   'Akhilandeswari' in raga  'DWIJAVANTHI' sung by 'AMMA' M.S.garu while my sis. Anuradha enqired about the Arohana and Avarohana of the raga ( Arohanam...     sa ri gama pa ma da pa ni da ni sa.
Avarohanam.... Sa ni da pa da ni da pa ma ma ga ri ga ma ga sa.
28th Melakartha janyam)
 to mention about the progress of editing work of maa ayyagaru's  astakshari kruthulu in her Telugu blog...
Maa ayyagaru also wrote some krithis in this 'SOULFUL' raga. 'Naduvavakayya, naarayana....
pudamipai nadugidi pokkuno yemo'....He cautions 'Astaksharinadha' not to walk on the earth with bare foot as to they are more tender than the flowers of  'Kalpavriksha'...Further he says.....No..No..No...I can't reveal the complete meaning of the song...'cause the original krithi  will be more sweet than the translation. u know!!!!!! original krithi will be available very soon. The Oriental manuscripts Library Authorities have fixed the date of relesing of maa ayyagaru's 'ASTAKSHARI KRUTHULU' on 211st March.
So friendz....'WAITING makes the wishes more sweet when they come true'...Is in't it? Pleeeaaassseeeeeee..Be prepared....

Friendz dears, This is the English Translation of maa ayyagaru's SIVATANDAVAM by Ilapavuluri Panduranga Raogaru published in 'INDIAN POETRY TODAY' in 1981 'Indian council for Cultural relations'.

                          " SIVATANDAVAM"

        What a blissful bloom
         has blessed the entire earth
        Lord Shiva has come to stage
        his eternal dance, his graceful sport
        so tender, yet so wild.

        See the clouds which have gathered in a moment
        to witness the movements of the limbs of the Lord
        Like waves and dreams
        like chains of coral bunches
        like celestial nymphs have gathered
        the thick dark and daring clouds.

        Look at the birds making the primal sounds,
        to suit the tinkling sounds of the divine ankles
        They match the melodies of the mountain-maid
        the consort of Lord Shiva..

        Even the bowers and twigs
        swing in joy, nod their heads
        and bunches after bunches shed the flowers.
        Each flower eager to find
        a place in the decoration of the divine couple
        that is why that smile, that is why tat grace.

        What a blissful bloom
        has blessed the entire earth
        Lored Shiva has come
        to stage his dance
        so tender, yet so wild.

        The slender tender limbs of the couple
        reset the touch of even the softest flower
        Bharathi and Brahma look after
        the make-up of the divine couple
        Parvathi and Parameshwara.

        There is breeze everywhere
        to greet the Lord, to serve him with sounds
        Takajham Takajham Taka Dirikita Tom
        When the Lord of the Universe
        chooses to dance to please the breeze
        the bridal bees whisper with grace.

        Look at these brooks running in haste
        to attend the dance without a minute's waste
        Look at the twilight like an excited house wife
        setting her silken saree right
        adjusting her waist correcting her sight
        Who told her all about this?
        Who else except the mother earth!

        The Lord and His Consort
        are set to dance
        The Sun has stopped
        to  wait and see-
        perhaps to report  all about this
        to the people in the west.

        Look at the deers
        with eyes full of tears th wash the feet of divine couple.

        The tender sprouting leaves
        whisper among themselves
        wanting to say something
        but not finding words to suit their feelings.

        Oh! It is beyond all words, all sounds and
        all imagination.
        The Lord has come down
        to stage his dance
        so tender, yet so wild
        to bless the blissful earth.

Dear Friendz.....These days, the DTP corrections of maa ayyagaru's ASTAKSHARI KRUTHULU is going on very regularly. Time is running like 'SAND FROM HANDS'. That's how me and Sriman Komanduri r doing it very fast. Meanwhile  I am being introduced to very unique usages like 'Tenela sarassu' (Honey lake in Kedaragoula raga kruthi) 'Neerasa kavyamu' (Weak kaavya in  Kharaharapriya kruthi)'Sranthamayye bhasha' (tired language in  Kaanada raga kruthi) 'Vallavivamsa sobhaakara' (one who is enriching the beauty of Yaadava kula in

Sankarabharana raga kruthi).  Seshadrigaru is noting down the best thoughts and unique usages and simultaneously preparing his artical on maa ayyagaru. This is the present update about the voluminous work....

'

                                      Give me this boon'

                                            Dr.Puttaparthi Narayanacharya.

                O God! Where ever you are,

                 In the  heavens or elsewhere,

                Grant me this boon.

                Make me poor,

                But not of heart.

                Give me life,

                But never bid me to live

                Among the heartless

                To be a toy to their wickedness.

                Give me intellect,

                But not the ability to understand

                The past.

                Save me from pride.

                You may give me feelings,

                But see they are not partisan.

                Give me the power,

                Never to be carried away

                By narrow creeds and dogmas.

                Make me a crystal,

                And make me human.

                Only give me this boom.

                              cultural Quarterly July-Sep 1987 issue)

                             

Dear Friendz.....I think u remember the exciting news I gave to u on 2nd Dec. 2013. Printing of 'Maa ayyagaru's  devotional lyrics ( with Astakshari mudra) is is progress. Almost every day I am discussing with Sriman Komanduri Seshadrigaru keeping ready the DTP and the original text (hand written) with me. Prior to talking to him. I correct the DTP matching with the vratha prathi (written version)

marking all the difficult words to note the meaning based on SRI SABDA RATNAKARAMU (Telugu dictionary) I also keep ready the 'Telugu paryaya pada Nighantuvu' for reference also if any. Sriman Komandurigaru who is at present at Washington (USA) gives me time either in the early morning or in the evening. We both check the AROHANA AVAROHANAS of the RAGAS 'maa ayyagaru' mentioned for the lyrics. Mostly Seshadrigaru and me also get  surprised to note the deepest knowledge 'Maa ayyagaru' is having even  in KARNATAK MUSIC on par with his eloquence in Literature. I am puzzled to identify completely a different 'PUTTAPARTHIvaru' in these lyrics. apart from most popular ragas like Bilahari, Aarabhi, Sankarabharanam, Mohana, Devagandhari, Kaanada, Kedaara, Kaambhoji Bhairavi etc. he wrote lyrics in  rare ragas like Gourigandhari, Sreemani, Tapollasi, Natabharana, Desya Aandhali, Dhairya mukhi, Rasaavali Maanavathi and so on. I believe I am more fortunate that I am introduced to the VIVID world of maa ayyagaru's LYRICAL WORLD now. Am experiencing a completely different ayyagaru now. I am again blessed to find an an excellent book "Ragapravaham' an Index to carnatak Ragas, compiled by Dr.M.N.Dandhapani and D.Pattammal which is a SANGEETHA KALPAVRIKHAM for all the carnatak music WORLD. Very beautiful PADABANDHALU like 'PALUKU PUVULU' (Flowers of words) 'PANNETI CHUPULU' (scented looks) 'CHALIDI VENNELA' (Tasty (like chalidi) moon light) and so on. Most of his lyrics show his ardent AARADHANA towards PANDHARINATHA and also with special references to Tukaram, Janaabai, Naamdev, Jnanadev and other Marathi Saints. 
                 I am also excited to share the news that Maa ayyagaru's PADYA VAGMAYA SARVASAVAM is getting ready for release soon.
                 With all maa ayyagaru's  blessings, I share this information with u all my dears!!!!!!
