  • Dikshitar Parampara (Part 1)
    VEDAVALLI SPEAKS Sangita Kalanidhi R. Vedavalli is not only one of the most accomplished of our vocalists, she is also among the foremost thinkers of Carnatic music today with a mind as insightful and uncluttered as her music. Sruti is delighted to share her thoughts on a variety of topics with its readers. Dikshitar parampara (Part 1) n musical parlance the name ‘Dikshitar’ instantly brings to our mind the illustrious saint-composer Muthuswami Dikshitar who, as a pioneer Icomposer, musician and poet in the field of Carnatic music, remains unparalleled even today. The literary beauty and depth of content in perfect proportion with the subtleties and aesthetics of our music are the hallmarks of his compositions. A striking thing about Dikshitar is the glorious parampara or lineage associated with him. His father, Ramaswami Dikshitar, and brothers Chinnaswami and Baluswami were all accomplished musicians and composers. And Subbarama Dikshitar, a grandson (and adopted son) of Baluswami Dikshitar, inherited the musical prowess of his father, paternal uncle and grandfather, and made an indelible mark in the world of music with his monumental work, Sangeeta Sampradaya Pradarsini. This parampara is unique in that it is a combination of ‘vamsa parampara’ or family lineage and ‘sishya parampara’ or lineage of disciples. Such a glorious lineage, spanning over three generations with each member equally proficient and knowledgeable is a very rare occurrence. This article is an attempt to bring out more information on this great lineage, with emphasis on the life and works of the Dikshitars other than Muthuswami Dikshitar. Ramaswami Dikshitar was born in 1735 AD.

    PAPER 14 KIRTANAM and TILLANA MODULE 1 The Importance of KIRTANAM in Bharatanatyam repertoire KIRTANAM Singing The Praise of God Is Keertana / कीर्तन. Keertan Is a Sanskrit Word .It means telling the Glory of God. In Southern Part India Keertana, came to be known as Kirtanam / कीर्तनम Or Keertanai / ककर्तनै with a regional touch. The different names with Adjectives attributed to gods are known as Kirtanam. Keertan Singing is a common feature in the pan Indian Tradition. It Is Sung In Temples And Religious Congregations. This Musical Form Is Prevalent In The Regional Languages All Over India. Irrespective Of the Type of Music Whether Hindustani or Carnatic, Keertan Takes a Special Place in the Repertoire of Music, Dance, Harikatha / हररकथा and bhajan Concerts. The Recitation And Chanting Of Vedas By A Group Of Priests As Part Of The Rituals Can Be Considered As The Early Example Of Collective Singing Of Devotional Music. Devotion Is a Universal Feeling and the Supreme Prayer to Attain God’s Feet. There are Threefold Margas to approach The Infinite .They are Gyanamarga / ऻानमागत (Intellectual Path), Karma Marga / कमत मागत (way of action) and The Bakhtimarga / भक्तर्मागत (Devotional Path).The devotional path is considered the ideal and easiest to approach god. The attractive form of displaying devotion is by singing his praise. Hence kirtanas are the best musical form in the sphere of devotional music. Structure of the kirtanam Kirtanams are set in simple ragas (tunes) to make easy for everybody to sing. The talas set are also simple and rhythmic.
