Chennaiyil Thiruvaiyaru Mega Carnatic Music Festival In December
(Season-7)
It is true, even the five elements (Earth, water, air, fire, space) are tend to dance to the tune of divine music. Yes ... isai kaettaal puvi asainthaadum, no doubt!.
Music is the common language all over the world, irrespective of boundaries, religion, caste and creed. In nature, God has created separate seasons for everything. In the same way it is the month of Margazhi for music.
Margazhi...a very special month in so many aspects and its divine connections are numerous and pretty obvious.
Lord Krishna says - (Gita, 10/35) "Among the hymns also (I am) the Brhat-Samna; among the meters I am Gaytri; among months, I am Margasirsa; and among seasons, I am the flower bearer (spring).
Thiruvaadira festival for Siva, also observed as the Aarudra Darshan.
Throughout the month, temples in Tamil Nadu resound with Aandal's Thiruppaavai.
Maanikkavaasagar's Tiruvempavai discourses also marks the significance of Margazhi.
Vaikunta Ekadasi, the day of symbolic opening of the doors of heaven to devotee.
On all mornings of the entire month, the customary kolams in front of houses will also sport a flower (placed in a ball of cowdung) at the centre, and spreads the feeling of festivity in every nook and corner of Tamilnadu.
In this list 'Thygaraja Aarathana' holds a very special place for Carnatic music lovers. Thyagaraja Brahmam was one of the greatest composers of Carnatic music. He, along with his contemporaries Muthuswami Dikshitar and Shyama Shastry, forms the Trinity of Carnatic music. He was a prolific composer and highly influential in the development of the South Indian classical music tradition. Thyagaraja composed hundreds of devotional compositions, most of them in praise of Lord Rama. Five of his compositions called the Pancharatna Krithis, which are often sung in programs in his honour. Thyagaraja Aradhana, the commemorative music festival is held every year at Thiruvaiyaru in Thyagaraja's honour. This is a week-long festival of heavenly music where various Carnatic musicians from all over the world converge at his resting place. On the Pushya Bahula Panchami, thousands of people and hundreds of Carnatic musicians sing the five Pancharatna Kritis in unison, with the accompaniment of a large bank of accompanists on violins, flutes, nagasvarams, mridangams and ghatams and drown themselves in divine bliss on that Day.
It may not be possible for all of us to go to Thiruvaiyaru and witness the music ensemble.
This very thought gave birth to the idea of holding a virtual Thiruvaiyaru festival here in Chennai itself. M/s Lakshman Sruthi Musicals, Nataka Academy, Rotary Club of Madras Mount & Kalalaya USA have united to organize this event and we have successfully conducted it for the past six years. With the blessing of the Music Trinity, we wish to hold 'Chennaiyil Thiruvaiyaru' for the 7th Year in succession to the great happiness of musicians and rasikas alike.
This event provides a forum for established musicians and young talent to exhibit their musical talents. 'Chennaiyil Thiruvaiyaru' will be part of the Music Festival to be held in Kamarajar Arangam, Chennai from 18 to 25 of December, 2011. On December 18, 2011, 4.00 p.m. the renowned musician Padmabhushan P.S. Narayanaswamy, all musicians and music enthusiasts will sing Pancha Ratna Kritis.
