Siva siva ena radha.. !
I have great pleasure to sing this mesmerizing composition by Shri Thyagaraja in the raaga Banduvarali. Thanks to Mrs.Shyamala who asked me to post more karnatic kiruthis in my blog.And I dedicate this song to her.

Song : Siva Siva
Ragam: Panthuvarali
Talam: Adi
Composed and written by : Shri Thyagaraja (View Lyrics)
Performed by : Sowmya
Please download the song here
Meaning of the song according to(TK Govinda Rao’s book)
Mortals ! Why do you not rid yourselves of the trials and tribulations of life by chanting the name of SIVA repeatedly ?
Root out KAMA-lust and other vile infections on the mind, eschew the desire for women and other’s wealth, rid yourself of ignorance and worship Siva with Bilva leaves
Associate with righteous men, regard them as gods and not giving any room to any shyness, worship Siva in the lotus of your heart with abandon and chant the holy name of Siva
Chanting the VEDAs, extol the Lord.
Avoid all fruitless talk and in the company of noble devotees, indulge in chanting the name of the Lord and singing His glory. Knowing that SIVA is the Lord whom this TYAGARAJA bows down to chant, the name of SIVA eternally!

Dear Sowmya,
I listened to the Krithi, it was beautifully rendered. The tempo was also perfect not too fast and not too slow. Now when I listen to this kruthi in concerts I can appreciate the meaning too, Thanks for dedicating this song to me. Keep it up, Hope to hear more carnatic music from you.
By the way all the artists will be coming to US during spring and summer. We will be attending most of the famous artists concerts. I really enjoy TM Krishna's style. He is one of my favourites.
Love
Shyamala mami

Hi kumar,
Thank you so much for those kind words.:)
Pleasure is mine to receive this compliment from a great fan of raja.
Are you the same Vivek , who acts in movies ?

Its just mind blowing. I love Carnatic music a lot.
Your voice brings divinity in a person. Just was engrossed in it.
I humbly request you to sing one of the "Pancha ratna kirthanas of Tyagaraja", as most of them are more than 8 mins extending to 13 mins.
Your voice would definitely suit for the same.
Have sent you a personal mail with an attachment,the lyrics, and complete meaning of the song.
I would love to drown myself in the Ocean of Bliss! listening to you singing the "Jagadanandakaraka". in the Nata Ragha.Of course would love to render my music - Venna in the background.
When you are going to make it ... its going to be a masterpiece!
