I note that it is embedded in the beautiful kriti, "ksheera-saagara-sayana" in the upper sththayi of the charanam, before the composer's "signature". (Have you made a list of the kritis where this phrase is implicit? I can't find a good explanation, even in V. Raghavan's "The Spiritual Heritage..")<br />The myth of Siva's five faces and the origin of our music from Soma Veda, and the close relationship of Siva and Rama through music have also intrigued me. <br />I like your own name, similar to my father's name (I bear it as a first name or the first initial thereof).

Check out the last two posts on my blog: http://real-tyagaraja-vaibhavam.blogspot.com/ One is on Manasa sancharare and the other is an amalgam of several emails from a web-friend. These posts might interest you.<br /><br />Also note how nice IAST with diacritics appears and how much more readable than HK it is.<br /><br />If you have comments, +ve or -ve about these two posts, write back here, and I will take them in the right spirit.

When I ...Govinda, I am back and back on your trail. When I made some suggestions to you, you rudely asked me to "mind my own business". Well, when you are posting on music, that too, Swamigal's music, with so many errors, it damn well is my business. It is everybody's business. Unless you apologize for your arrogance, and agree to take constructive suggestions and apply them, I will continue to expose your "work". You have my email id and know what to do. Otherwise, not only will I keep posting errata to your stuff, I will also actively promote my blog on searches so that it eclipses and discredits your flawed blog.<br />Glory be.<br />Anatha Dasa.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29597207.post-7044087521400986662009-09-20T00:53:52.751+01:002009-09-20T00:53:52.751+01:00Check out my new blog, which is dedicated to you: ...Check out my new blog, which is dedicated to you: http://real-tyagaraja-vaibhavam.blogspot.com/<br /><br />I have invited all your followers and invited many Carnatic email lists to follow my blog. <br /><br />You shouldn't have behaved so arrogantly and forced me to take you apart like this.

The only people who will find the level of detail in your blogs useful, are serious music students and performers. But, they will already have the textbooks you source your material from, as also their guru's notes, and you give only lyrical information and not rendering information, that is more important to them. Someone trying to learn Carnatic music only wants the lyrics, the gist and notations, which are already available on many professional websites like karnatik.com. So, neither beginners, nor serious people can use this site fully. Looking at your site stats, you are not even getting sufficient traffic. If I were you, I wouldn't work any more on this site and focus on other ventures. I am not criticizing you. I just feel bad that someone who obviously loves music as much as I do, is doing fruitless labour. I suppose you have spent thousands of hours preparing all this content. Sigh! What a waste!S.
