(jananI)
caraNam 3:
vanajAyata - nEtri! kumAra - janani! kAmitadAtri !
ghana - pApa - latAlavitri ! sanakAdi - munulella - sannuta pAtri !
With utmost supplication to the mother Goddess kAmAkSi zri Subbaraya Shastri questions Her: " Oh mother ( janani) of the three worlds (trilOka) ! Who (evarE) else in this world (jagamulOna) can be my refuge (dikku) other than you (ninnu vinA) ? "
The emotions in this line are well brought out by the rAga bhAva , that is so enticing in the mandra sthAyi. The mandra sthAyi beginning, along with the soothing sAhitya makes the kriti really pleasant and weighty.
After the soft mandra sthAyi , Subbaraya Shastri goes on to plead in the tARa sthAyi , beginning with an abstract swarAksharam at "ma":
He calls ambAL : "manasija - mAnasa - sammodini", i.e. " One whose mind (mAnasa) is delighted (sammOdini) by the God of love (manasija)" and appeals to her: "Please listen (vinavE) to my (nA) troubles (manavini) and kindly protect (brOvumu) me (nannu) "
As is the case with the Sastri kritis, the swara sAhityam is touching and this one is specificifically moving:
" Having heard (vini ) that (anucunu) that you are the bestower (dAyaki) of unceasing (niravadhika) happiness (sukha), I beseeched (goliciti) you (ninnu) so much (cAla)! Who else (evarika) is there in this world (dharalO) to protect (brOcutaku) like you (nI valanE) , after hearing (vini) the appeals (moralu ) of this child (tanayuni) endlessly (niratamuga) ? "
Subbaraya Shastri's surrender to the Mother is so evident her. He kind of chides Her that She has not protected him from the tentacles of the worldly miseries. However he is very prompt to acknowledge ambAL as the only one in this world Who can listen to his troubles and free him from his worries.
Subbaraya Shastri continues further in this beautiful svara sAhityam: "Now (idi) please listen, Oh Mother (vinumA), is this (idi) ghanama (tiresome) ? Now is the opportune moment (taruNam idi) to quickly (durusuga) Please protect me (brovumu) without (sEyaka) delay (tAmasamu) , oh Mother, Who has eyes (lOcanI) like the lotus (sarasIruha) and Who is fragrant (suvAsini) !
The caraNam begins like the pallavi in the mandara sthAyi and beautifully unfolds into the higher octaves. The mark of this kriti is the svara sAhityam!
Sri Shastri describes ambAL as " vanajAyata- nEtrI i.e. the one with large (Ayata) eyes (nEtri) like the blue lotus flower (vanaja: vanaja means born in the forest, it also refers to a wild lotus flower found in the forest lakes) " and as "kumAra janani (mother of kumara: subrahmanya svAmi) " , kAmitadAtri : One who gives (dAtrI) whatever is desired (kAmita) "
After this the kriti reaches a climax like the anupallavi, but the transition is so gradual and grand (do I have to even attempt to write about the elegance of the M-N-S part of rItigauLa??) that one gets easily lost in its subtlety!
ambAL is now referred to as : "ghana pApa latA lavitrI", i.e One who is like a scythe (lavitrI) to the creepers ( latA) of evil (ghana) sins (pApa) (in short, the One Who destroys all sins) (Someone, please verify this!!!) and "sanakAdi munulella sannuta pAtri" : One who is worthy (pAtrI) of the panegyric (sannuta) of sanakA and all (ella) other (Adi) sages (munulu).

MDR will always be the benchmark for Reethigowla.
Ganesh Ks Absolutely!
especially this krithi composed for viambitha kala renedring is best sung by MDR
MELODIOUS and amazing voice. The accompanists are very much appreciated. Thank you.
I feel like those who like mdr sir's music really feel the emotion that he conveys through his presentation. It's hard to like his music but when you do, you cant ever leave it :)
My hero. I sat in front row in Kalakshetra at a young age and listened to his divine voice.
Excellent rendition by the legendary vidwan Shri M.D.Ramanathan
M.D Rananathan sir was indeed a genius. He has a unique voice and sings with extraordinary depth, especially in lower octaves. His exhaustive sangathis lingering around extensive range with subtle variation is par excellence. None can ever match his approach and delivery. Today's upcoming artist must listen to his concerts. I am blessed to have watched his live kacheris on many occasions ❤
who could replace MDR,s soulful singing of Ritigowala, that too in mandara stayee. Every morning before star of the day if we listen his sober voice, the day will day will be cheerful. Having had the experience of listening to this genius live I still cherish the concerts. Thanks to the person posted this.
Siva Raman 100% agree. Beautifully said. Thank you.
Tku for uploading.i have poured Horlicks from flask and given him in concert at navarathri mandapam ,tvm
Blessed
Have you got the recordings of Padmanabha paahi sung by MDR in navarathri sangeetholsavam....
Very happy to know there are so many fans for MDR, like me. I thought it is a very minority rasika crowd. I am wrong. He forgets himself 100% and immerses into Music. Musically Divine Ramanathan (MDR).
You are not alone sir
Got an opportunity to listen to this song from Shri.MDR.Very Divine voice and tempts to listen again and again.
What a beautiful voice by Mr.M.D.R Sit in the morning? Thanks again for your perusal.Excellent performance.Congratd.Brilliant effects.Super performance.Amazing and Marvelous. Thanks again.S. Madhvan.

MY GREAT LOSS IN MY LIFE IS.. MISSED A LIVE CONCERT IN TRICHUR.. MDR IS THE ULTIMATE ROUTE OF CARNATIC CLASSIC MUSIC.. .. (MDR'S SRUTHY MAY BE DIFFERENT.. BUT THE WAY OF DICSION AND PRONOUNCING AND GIVING EFFECT TO THOSE WORDS THROUGH SWARAAS..... (IN BHAVAYAMI .. EVEN IT IS IN MOHANA RAGAM....!! "VIDDHATHA DHANTTAKAARANYAKA..:" ONLY THE GREAT MDR CAN DO THIS..

No words can explain the beauty of dr.MDR's rendition of Raga reetigowla.bliss full ,divine, ....sahasra Pranam SIR
MDR's rendering of raga is unique. The effect is so resounding that it lasts in your memory and ears for a long time. I love MDR style and whenever I feel like hearing music it's always MDR first.

Sudhakar Mp n
one of the finest renditions of this krti that i've heard... thanks a ton for sharing!
mdr has put his soul into
the rendition & with the same supplication of the composer Subbaraya Sastri.
True..nobody can say it better
Beauty by the Great Master.
Unhurried purity at its blissful best!
GKK.. There are (and were) not many musicians who will be willing to place the raga's importance before their own ego? Present simply the ragam without much "aarpatam" or dramatical embellishment to make feel ones own importance? The voice.. I wish there are more who can use the base and add beauty as the great one did.. It takes a bit of getting used to, I wish you would be able to spend a bit of time listening to the voice a few more times and then you would start appreciating it for what it's worth! Once hooked feel the magic for yourself
A wonderful and unique style of rendering rethink gowla in vilamba Kaaba
He has the vidwat and the music fit for kings
Every veteran has his own unique style. This is MDR`s own masterly rendering.
The depth in his voice is ultimate and very unique....Dr. Balamurli comes close to this surely.. Lower notes Masters...
really leaves one speechless.
The Raagaas beauty is well brought out by the legend. Great singer..
What a voice,really amazing
Divine music synonymous to MD Ramanathan ji
Thanks again for your perusal.beutiful performance.marvelous performance.excellent presentation.fantastic. I feel very much happy while enjoying this beautiful performance.S. Madhvan S/0 A.K.Srinivasa Rao. Palamanery. thanks again.
MDR forever!
This should come first if we search for janani ninnuvina. Sadly I have to search for MDR's recording specifically to get here.
THE ULTIMATE NAMASKARAMS TO KAANJI KAAMAKSHI BY YUVA THYAGARAJA MDRAMANATHAN SWAMIGAL.. AS PER MY SHORT KNOWLEDGE.. THE ONE AND ONLY DARED SANGEETHAVIDWAAN IN THE UNIVERSE.. EVERYBODY MUST FOLLOW THIS STYLE .. THEN ONLY PURE MUSIC WILL COME OUT..
V soulful singing tq pm
Beautiful. Thank you for the heartfelt translation
it's a fact that MDR is matchless, on a different plain altogether
Rare to hear soulful music these days.
I LOVVVVVVVEEEEEE MDR!!! :) :) :)
pure gold
Sheer Bliss!!
there is no one before or after MDR for reethigowla
Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for sharing this masterful rendition. Pray, who are the accompanying artistes?
Sublime...
Superb
Path to heaven!
Thanks for sharing
Perhaps the tallest singer with slow pace

Like with T R Mahalingam, so too with MDR you feel each phrase is developed from the preceding phrase. You can see the raaga and kriti develop phrase by phrase as opposed to just performing a well rehearsed and practised piece.
great observation, shankar gopal!
It is not just singing.It is Nadopasana.
shankar gopal h
elated to heights of ecstacy.
MDR is inimitable, yes. But, this rendition is truly an master-class of an exhibition of diligent use of farans... terrific stuff! Wonder who the mridangist! :)
The one and only Palghat Sri Raghu..
In this krithi practicing students can learn swara niraval from M D R sir.
For others merriment joy etc.,
Stay safe.
🙏🏼
I am totally absent in consciousness when with him
❤️
canyou find & let us know the names of the accompanying artistes, pl.
The violinist is no match for MDR and surely detracts from the superlative performance. The Mridangam, on the other hand is an apt accompaniment for MDR. No one can hold a candle to MDR when it comes to singing Reetigowla.
Who doesn't ???
Oh, isn't it TK Murthy sir on mridangam?
He could have used his sonorous voice in a more regulated, and smooth blending, depth manipulated to be more pleasing with bakti!
There's no need for the violin. If it's possible to remove the track, it will do good.

I agree GKK. I have been trying to see a single pleasing concert by MDR but in vain. He simply cries without going to pitch extremities and even sri ragam which pleases everyone in his voice is not...
Singing in a high pitch isn't everything! The sheer creativity of his music is more than enough to keep rasikas listening to his music.
Voice neither melodious nor pleasing.
GKK You must be an entry level listener of Carnatic music. After a few years of listening good music, you will be able to appreciate great music.
Sir though I am incapable of understanding the beauty of the Masters rendition right now I disagree with you about his voice... it's mesmerizing to say the least
Even many learned not able understand. MDR all-time. Akbar appreciated Thansen about singing. But Thansen I am nothing in front my Guru. Akbar requested to arrange arrange a concert he told no no we have go there & listen. Akbar asked why can't you sing like your Guru. immediately he told he singing not to satisfy any one only for God.
