The last picture in the video shows two stalwarts MMi and MSS Thanks to Parampara1916 sir for the photo...I will upload the entire concert if someone is interested..
In the kRti 'sarasa sAma dAna' -- rAga kApinArAyaNi, zrI tyAgarAja
extols the Lord about the way He dealt with rAvaNa.

Gist
O Elegant Lord who is adept in the four-fold actions (of rAja dharma) --
conciliation, gift or bribe, creation of dissension and punishment! O Lord praised
by this tyAgarAja!
rAvaNa being the eminent devotee of the great Lord ziva, could not
understand Your words!
You nicely conveyed much beneficial words; You said that 'I shall offer
even ayOdhyA for ever'; as he (rAvaNa) did not listen even after making
vibhISaNa -- his brother who supplicated before You -- as King of laGkA, You
ultimately slayed him;
Which God is equal to You? deign to protect me.
Unless you are blessed... You cannot hear this masterpiece.
Ganapathi Aswath your assessment is true
Absolutely .
True
That's true...
Or unless you have UA-cam search...
In Neraval of Hiitavu, with its variations of Hitavui as Hitavuive, Hitavuive, Hitavuivee .....I sensed creative playfulness, giving me immense joy - Isn't that the very purpose of music?
Indeed Yes.
Great soul MMI
I am hearing this song atleast one time in a day, everyday.. since so many years...everytime it make me wondering how it was possible for a human being to sing like this and handling the swaram in such a scintillating style....amazing... No doubt that he was "Kaliyuga Naradha"...
Yes, these songs are addictive.
Plain and simple. Superhuman music and guru's krupa
Am an ardent Fan of SRI MADURAI MANI IYER right from the age of FIVE and used to attend his concerts used to extend up to 00:00 hrs.
T N Krishnan on the Violin and Vellore Ramabhadran on the Mridangam.... simply divine
Even after 100 years this song will be enjoyable.
Over and over again with the same blessed feeling taking you Gamakas flowing like ripples on a wave of ectasy to Nada Brahma !
This song is like DRUG
@@rrajan5476 Yes yes. Used to hear every now and then. Still having the feeling of hearing it for the first time.
Saint Thiyaharaja would like this outstanding voice
@@rrajan5476 Not this song....each and every song is more than a drug
My father used to say that rasikaa would be eagerly and impatiently waiting for uii uiis. I have been listening to MMI for past 40 yrs(recorded version) and hv become like his old day rasikas
What a song and superb accomplishments...no words
Sadhguru brought me here when HE mentions in a conversation with Pt. Jasraj..... Tears flowing
Madurai maniiyer master piece song . Wonderful song

flow of a natural genius, no parallel to my knowledge. Thank God to have given me this opportunity to hear this legend
Mani Iyer's swaras are even numbered clusters than odd ones like 3,5,7 that all of us are used to in the Carnatic lore. That's what makes it genius!
Can you elaborate on this
@@adityab2846 if you look at his kalpanaswarams it’s all in sequence of 2,4,6,8 rather than 3,5,7. It’s hard to make it sound good, as it just seems repetitive to the listener. Only he could do it and still make it sound beautiful.
@@gskksk do you mean sa re ga ma as opposed to just three day sa re ma?
@@ramanvk5523 No sir.
Usually old number of swarms are laid on the even beat of the thaalam like 3's, 5's n so on. He sings even numbers which is extremely unique to his style of singing.
@Aditya B it means like for example in kalpanaswarams (swarakalpana),
Sa Sa Ri Ri Ga Ga Ma Ma Ri, Pa Da Ni Ni Sa are even swaras.
Sa Ri Ga Ri Ga Ma Ga Ma Pa Pa Da Ni are odd swaras.
In even swaras the note/swaram get repeated twice like sa sa ri ri etc
in odd swaras it is more like mathematical calculation like sa ri ga ri ga ma etc

Wonderful I saw in a katcheri in Madurai in 1970 now I am in 80 years
He passed away in 1968 isn't it
@@MellisaiMannarMSVTHELEGE-xo4me Yes
i have this on cassette i bought in the music store in mylapore in 1984, and have always loved it....i had no idea then who he was, but i relied on the opinion of the shop owner, i knew i loved carnatic music, and madurai meenakshi kovil, and the serene expression on the face of MMI...
One of the masterpiece's of Madurai Mani Iyer
Two weeks ago, on October 6, at the West Windsor Plainsboro Middle School, Sri T M Krishna sang this kriti beautifully in a grand 3 ½ hour concert. Then two days ago, at the same venue, Sri Surya Prakash, whose sangeetha acharya, Sangeetha Kalanidhi Sri T V Shankara Narayanan was Sri MMI’s shishya, also sang the same kriti. And today, when I came across this video and listened to it again, perhaps for the twentieth time, and read all the nice commentaries written here by rasikas using superlatives and glowing words of praise, I thought of the great vocalist MMI, and wondered what exactly is it that captivates rasikas’ minds whenever they hear Sri MMI. In addition to his unique style, and smooth, effortless flow of his music, to those with a fine, pristine sense of sruthi, his singing stood out. Sri Lalgudi Jayaraman wrote in his autobiography that there was only one other vocalist who had sruti shuddha comparable to that of MMI : Sri M D Ramanathan. They say that for musicians, Shruthi is maatha and Laya is Pitha. But for Sangeetha Kalanidhi, Ganakaladhara (this title was created just for him, and has not been awarded to anyone else since) Madurai Mani Iyer, Shruthi was not just maatha, but Pitha, too! He was a true naadopaasaka. My sangeetha acharya, Sri T N Bala, when he was about 10 years old, learnt Carnatic music from Sri MMI for many years. During my classes, when he reminisced about his beloved guru, occasionally he burst into tears; he revered his teacher as if he were a singing Deva from Narada loka. When I go to Chennai during Music season, if I mention casually to rasikas sitting near me at the sabhas, that my teacher was a Sri MMI shishya, their eyes always widened with awe: the name MMI is awe inspining! It is almost 50 years since Sri MMI passed away, but the rasikas adore him to this day. Many rasikas think that this kriti, in particular, is one of his most memorable and captivating recordings.

I am very delighted to read through your comments.. I am 35 years old and zero knowledge in sangeetham. I had heard MMI's song through my father. I always feel something special with his voice and the way he sing, which u mentioned effortless. Now, I do listen this song and other MMI's collections at least once in a day.
I will restrict myself to stating that however pleasing TMK’s recitals may be (I have not heard it personally nor will I), I would not bracket him with MMI or RS, who are both respectful of tradition and parampara and maintain, nay, uplift, the dignity of Carnatic music by their demeanour. The ability of Carnatic music to bring the listener closer to divinity depends on the purity of the performer. Regretfully, TMKs track record points south
Yesh Prabhu v
Yesh - thank you for your nice post. MMI is one of my favorites and yes I remember Sri T N Bala and his reverence for MMI
MMI and this song in particular got me believing tyagaraja and indeed Carnatic could sound good! Else I was converting to Hindustani from rock
ஆஹா ஆஹா ஆனந்தம்
THESE DAYS WE CANNOT HEAR SUCH DIVINE MUSIC
The music flows, even more smoothly than water, when the master musician Madurai mani is performing. Our mamas karmas to him and his genius

Amazing rendering is his own inimitable style. Masterclass.

In Carnatic music,the name Madura Mani Iyer stands unequaled in many respects to this day. The way he handles the swarams is amazing,I would say. I am glad to hear his singing.
Madurai Mani iyer and vellorar are eye and the eye ball blending and the tempo also lalgudiar holding on to mm iyer steps superb to say the least thank u
Super .
I like all songs sung by the great Madurai Mani Iyer
இன்னும் 100வருஷங்களுக்கு இந்த கீர்த்தனை நிலைத்து நிற்கும்.
Madurai Mani Iyer is a special n his way of singing also a treat to ears
The apex is around 4:20. Other singers and classicists would consider it blasphemous perhaps... But who cares when you have such elixir in your ears
Yes 4:20 to 6:00 is unbelievable melody and ecstasy
