  • Chapter 12 Charitams Gopalakrishna Bharati
    Language in India 18:11 November 2018 CHAPTER 12 CHARITRAMS GOPALAKRISHNA BHARATI Dr Adi Sankara Singing with Saivite Saints Language in India 18:11 November 2018 Gopalakrishna Bharati Dr Adi Sankara Singing with Saivite Saints Language in India 18:11 November 2018 142 Singing with Saivite Saints GOPALAKRISHNA BHARATI Gopalakrishna Bharati, also known as Gopalakrishna Bharatiyar, was the son of Ramaswami Bharathi and was born in 1810 in Narimanam near Nagappattinam. He lived in and around Mayiladhuturai and lead a celibate life. Bharathi was a genius in music since childhood and possessed great dexterity in composing songs. His ancestors were musicians and his father as well as his grandfather, were good Vainikas. Bharati was attracted towards the Chidambaram temple right from his childhood. He would visit Chidambaram sthala on all occasions, especially when Abishegam on Lord Nataraja was performed. Gopalakrishna Bharati was ostracized by the orthodox people because he composed and performed a Kathakalakshebam on Tirunilakanta Nayanar one of the 63 Saivite Saints who was supposed to have belonged to an inferior community. His own people shunned him and made him an outsider in their community. Kathakalashebam is a story-telling from the Puranas, to the accompaniment of musical instruments with crisp musical dialogues, witty stories inserted at relevant places with songs. The impact of the Maratha culture on South Indian devotional music was primarily responsible for the development of the ‘Hari Katha Kalakshebam’. Gopalakrishna Bharati composed another opera named Nandanar Charitram which is well-known even nowadays and sung in concerts. It was Maha Vidwan Meenakshi Sundaram Pillai, himself a great musician, who brought Bharati to one Vedanayakam Pillai.

  • SRUTI August 2011 Sruti South Indian Classical Music and Dance Monthly
    l SRUTI August 2011 Sruti south indian classical music and dance monthly Issue 2 16 November 1983 It's with a sense of gratification at the warm reception given to the inaugural issue of SRUTI that we have prepared our second offering. The lead group of articles this time focusses on what has come to be called Tamil Isai. The principal article (p.4), researched and written by Anandhi Ramachandran, provides a retrospective analysis of the genesis and the controversial initial years of the Tamil Isai Movement, while a companion piece (p.8) by her offers a balance sheet of sorts on Tamil Isai Sangam, the institution set up to implement the movement's goals. The hymns composed by Tamil saints, known as Tevaram, form an important part of the musical heritage of the Tamils and a report on the interview conducted by Muthumeenakshi with an official of the Dharmapuram Adheenam Mutt throws considerable light on the hoary tradition of hymn- singing (p. 12). Rounding out the group is a Sruti Report (p. 11) on what prominent musicians have to say on Tamil compositions and what our chief has to say on whether the proponents of Tamil Isai and their opponents have served the listening public. The latter's analysis is presented in the first edition of an opinion column on music, which we call Bull's Eye. (p. 15); it will be a more or less regular feature. A companion column on dance is also envisaged. Giants have trodden the Carnatic earth, offering music sublime. We have plans to publish special articles about them from time to time.
