Mana desam bharatha desam.Telugu Patriotic song ..Dr.Dasaradhy

..

Friendz dears....
This patriotic song is written by Dr.Dasaradhygaru. I learnt this also in 'Yee paata nerchukundam' prog. of AIR Hyderabad. 
This is a RAGAMALIKA.
Pallavi is in Raga...Gourimanohari
1st Charanam (Kulabhedam) is in Raga...Chandrakouns
2nd Charanam is in Raga...Andolika
3rd Charanam is in Raga Brindavana Saranga
Dr.Dasaradhy garu was addressing mu father Dr.Puttaparthivaru as 'annayya (elder brother). So I used to address him as 'pinnayya' (paternal uncle) in our rayalaseema colloquial slang.
As Dr.Dasaradhy worked in AIR as Producer on Contract basis for some years, he was visiting AIR Hyd. many a times after his resignation and recognition in Telugu Films.
Dr.Dasaradhy was a real 'Telangana Warrior' who penned against Nizams and suffered a lot in jail even. 
As our Independence Day is also approaching, I wanted to share my rememberences with u all.....

Chiru swara samaram - promo in Raga Kharaharapriya

..
 Friendz dears....This was one of my sweetest  memories of my work at DDK Hyd as a producer. This 'chiruswara samaram' was in continuation of the grand success of 'The first ever classical music competetion' 'Swarasamaram' a 53 weekly telecast pure classical music competetion in Andhra Pradesh of course in whole DDK kendras. The then governor Sri Narasimhangaru in the final competetions of 'Swarasamaram' praised DDK Hyd as  'The backbone of our great culture'. As u all know Kum Manda Shruti Ravali (daughter of 'Vidushi' Smt Manda Sudha ranigaru (vocal)  of Vizag) and Kum Yoga Keerthana  (Grand daughter of Acharya Veturi Ananda Murthygaru  and daughter of 'Vidushi' Yoga Vandanagaru (veena)  of Bangalore) stood second.
With this success, I approached my Director Smt Sailaja Suman and expressed my wish to conduct a Semi-classical competetion for children between 12 to 15 years age group. Happily she okayed my proposal and the above promo went on air for one month inviting applications from children learning classical music.
I very anxiously stated prepaing back ground for the programme, selection of the judges, selection of rounds and set in the studio , most important of course.
First of all I wanted to write a  promo for the 'Chiru swara samaram'. Usually if at all I start trying to write a song, it exists along with the  tune automatically as I learnt classical music in my childhood in Kadapa from sri S. kondappagaru (a desciple of sri Proddutur Jamalappa who was again sishya of sri Mysore Choudayya). I requested Dr.Seshulathagaru to listen to this song and tell her view. She said it as  'perfect'.
I recorded this with this child prodigy of Zee Telugu and put it on air for one month. 
Mean while SVBC started 'Swara Raga sudha' on the same grounds of our 'Swara Samaram' which I feel is the inspiration of DDK Hyd only. Any way, this is the story behind this promo of 'Chiru Swara Samaram' friendz.......
Last, but not least, my  'Swara Samaram' gave inspiration for 'NAD- BHED' a national level classical music competetion both in Karnatic and Hindusthani musics and our winner Kum Manda Shruthi Ravali stood first in National Level even.
Will there be any maximum satisfaction than this for a producer friendz?

Yehi murare kunj vihare by. Jayadeva

Friendz dears...
Here is an interesting reminiscence of my recent past in 2009. 
While I was working in DDK Hyd. I got my life time golden oppourtunity  to record pravachanams of Brmhasri Chaganti Koteswara Raogaru  on 'Sri Kalahasteeswara Shatakam' and 'Shatpadi' of Adi Sankaracharya in 'Shirdi Baba Temple', Shivam Road, New Nallakunta.
Though I was in touch with Chagantivaru sice ten days before the scheduled date of these pravachanams, I was in full tense in the preparations for a recording out side the studio. I made all the arrangements according to the requirements and also the advices of the temple authorities.
At last the day came, and I met Bramhasri Koteswara Raogaru very obediently doing 'Padabhivandanam'.
I introduced myself as employee of DDK Hyd and also as 4th daughter of 'Puttaparthivaru'.
After knowing this Chagantivaru,  felt very happy as he also knew my revered father's name as 'Sivatandava Kartha' and also his poetic skills. I was fortunate to receive 'Very rare asssis' from guruvugaru. In the end of every day's pravachanam, Chagantivaru taught 'Shatpadi' to all the devotees and so I think that was the 'GURUPADESAM' to all the fortunate devotees that attended those pravachanams. Those seven days were 'AMRITOPAMANAM' to me and my DDK crew even.
I very madly follow CHAGANTIvaru's pravachanams since those days. I think most of u also might be followers of Chagantivaru's   mesmerising pravachanams. 
I want to share one of the anecdotes from the life of 'Ramakrishna Paramahamsa' that I heard in Chagantivaru's pravachanams.
Once a pregnant lady tiger  got hurt in chasing it's pray from a group of goats and after giving birth to a tiny cub, it died. In no other go, the tiny tiger started living in the group of goats without knowing it's real genetic characteristics.

The tiny tiger became a member of the goat's group eating grass and playing with them and sleeping in their group.
One day another HE tiger came there and jumped on the goats to get his pray. He watched this tiny tiger in that group running in fear along with other goats.
He sensed this very unusual. He called the little cub and asked 'Being a TIGER like me, why r u running away from me like a coward goat? U should also chase the goats and eat.' But the little cub answered 'no no...I am not like u. I am a goat. I don't like meat like u. I eat grass like my friendz and live happily in their group'. But the HE tiger was not convinced. He took the little cub to a river and convinced it showing  the resemblances between them with  the images in the waters. At last the cub got convinced and thanked the 'HE' tiger 'cause he has shown the right path to him and now it started living like a TIGER.
Sri Chagantivaru told that 'the real GURU' will be like HE tiger. Guru shows the mankind it's real characteristics and convinces to go in a right path. Nice na?

Rudraveena Movie Songs - Bilahari Neethone Song - Chiranjeevi - Shobhana...

.....

Friendz dears....
The above is very famous song from 'Rudraveena' picture which is very rich in literature and composing too.
In the very expressive classical voice of Shriman Jesudas garu, this song reverberates our feelings for clssicism in film songs even.
This particular song is composed in classical raga 'Bilahari' which is a janya raga of Sankarabharanam.
Arohana being        sa  ri  ga   pa   da  sa
Avarohana being    sa   ni  da  pa  ma  ga  ri  sa
'Paridanamicchite paalinthuvmo' is the famous composition of  Sri Patnam Subrahmanyya Iyyar in Bilahari ragam...'ra ra venu gopa baala raagitha sadguna jaya seela' Swarajathi is also famous.
I think 'meera jaala galada naa yaanati' and 'adi bhikshuvu vadinemi koredi' also sound Bilahari to mee. What do u say?....
