Subrahmanya Bhujangam is a hymn addressed to Lord Subrahmanya, the presiding deity of Tiruchendur, in the south-east coast of India. Adi Shankaracharya composed this hymn in the Bhujanga meter (cycle of 5). 10 of the 33 verses were chosen and set to tune by Harsha Nagarajan in ragams Hamsadhwani, Hindolam, Devamanohari, Vasantha, Shanmukhapriya, Purna chandrika, Abhogi, Arabhi, Desh and Sindubhairavi.
This hymn is replete with spiritual exaltation, ecstasy and extraordinary lyrical merit. Here are the lyrics of the verses chosen for this recording.
