    Palghat Mani Iyer.Pdf

    COVER STORY Palghat T.S. Mani Iyer (1912-1981) Sriram.V ometime in the 17th century, a Raja of Palghat is said to have invited many Brahmin families Sbelonging to the Tanjavur region to his principality. They were to inculcate learning and culture in the area. These families settled in 96 villages of Palghat district and greatly enriched the place. Many of their descendants rose to high positions in administration, business and other walks of life. Several shone as musicians. But the man who was to prefix the name of the district to his own name and make it synonymous with percussion was Mani Iyer, the mridanga maestro. Palghat T.S. Mani Iyer was born on 12th June 1912 at Pazhayanur, Tiruvilvamala Taluk, in Palghat District to Sesham Bhagavatar and Anandambal as their second son. The couple had many children of whom some died early with only two sons (Mani Iyer and a younger brother) and two daughters surviving into adulthood. Sesham Bhagavatar was a vocalist in the Harikatha troupe of Mukkai Sivaramakrishna Bhagavatar, a famous exponent of the art form. Mani was christened Ramaswami at birth— after his grandfather who was a school teacher besides being a good singer. Destined as it seemed Mani Iyer was to acquire fame Young Mani in the field of percussion, the forces that control fates could not have selected a better place for his birth. Tiruvilvamala, a village on the southern side of the Born for the Mridanga Bharatapuzha river, was well known for its Panchavadyam performers. ‘Maddalam’ Venkicchan and Konthai were famed practitioners of the percussive arts.

    Dāsa Sāhitya: Some Notes on Early Publications, Commentaries and Concerns1 Abstract: Dāsa Sāhitya Is a Literary Genre In

    Dāsa Sāhitya: Some Notes on Early Publications, Commentaries and Concerns1 Abstract: Dāsa Sāhitya is a literary genre in Kannada, beginning to be seen from the late- fifteenth century. Making its mark both in literature and in Indian classical music, Dāsa Sāhitya attracted the attention of missionaries and other colonial functionaries and was one of the first genres to be edited and published in Kannada in the mid-nineteenth century. Very soon, the native editors and publishers started working on the genre. Usually classified under Bhakti literature as part of modern Kannada literature, Dāsa Sāhitya got published by individuals of varying interests. This essay makes a survey of some of the early publications of the genre and attempts to segregate varying concerns and interests within what may be broadly and sometimes, urgently termed as either ‘colonial’ or ‘nationalist’, even as it makes certain interesting observations on the changing phase of the literary culture: from manuscript to print. Key Words: Dāsa Sāhitya, Dāsa, Pada, Kannada, literature, print Dāsa Sāhitya in Kannada seems to be a post late-fifteenth century phenomenon. It is largely perceived as Vaiṣṇava and Mādhva literature, eulogizing Puraṇic gods in the Vaiṣṇava pantheon and is considered part of Bhakti literature in Kannada. Travelling singers of medieval India who had a presence from Rajasthan in the north to north Karnataka in the south; Iyal and Isai traditions of Tamil and the Vārakarī tradition of Maharashtra seem to have had the foundational impacts on the Dāsa Sāhitya tradition apart from its own indigenous Kannada roots. Purandaradāsa, Kanakadāsa, Vijayadāsa, and Jagannathadāsa have been 1 I remain thankful for the comments and feedback during the presentation of this paper at the Conference, “Translating Oral/folk texts from Indian Languages into English” held in EFLU, Hyderabad, in March 2014.
