NOW, I want to donate atleast a simple amount that suits my ability.
PLEASE let me know the address to which I should send the cheque / DD.

A good heartfelt review...Good one suresh
Hi Suresh,
Before hearing TIS, I read your first review. So, I didn't expect much about Polla vinayaen. That night when I heard it for the first time, I felt that Suresh's comments are not up to the mark and thought of replying to you. As you did, I heard it in many circumstances and it took me to the peak of my ecstasy and I feel so great after reading your comments. I felt all the experiences that you had mentioned. It was great.
Hail Hail... IR Hail... Fr. Jegath Hail
polla vinayaen....!
How can I reach for something Holy.

Hi Friends,
Still the Album has not got enough publicity. I think only HCIRFs know much about the pains taken to bring this album out. Still it hasn't done much business in Bangalore. Many guys (Even tamilians settled in Bangalore) are not aware of this album. Will Tamil Maiyam people arrange for a full page publicity in all the dailies of Karnataka?
TV ads will also help boosting the business still more.
Dr. Shankar & Fr. Jegath should look into it. Publicity part needs to be scooted still.
Come on guys!!!! What about Andhra & Kerala?
One of the newspapers of Bangalore quoted that this is the first symphony ever getting released in India.
This is not at all highlighted anywhere. Just look into it. Publicity part needs to be fine tuned.

Received the CD yesterday. Listened 4 times last night!
Each one is a gem.
'Puttril vazh aravum' is on my lips and am trying to memorize the lyrics. (the starting music resembles a filmi song, not sure which one).
Thanks to IR and the whole team for creating this wonder.
IMHO, IR singing all the songs (except one) is the only sore point as I had always opined. In spite of him doing it very well, it would have sounded if few more voices had been roped in..

Hi Guys,
Our Album is not listed in Ebay or Bestbuy's sites. Please check that out.
Can anything be done about this?
irfan
balaji,
No other singer cud've done justice to the songs...Raja bowls us over by the way he emotes while singing, and i totally ignored the shortcomings (if any) in the voice.
The spirit of his rendition has taken the songs to a different plane...Anyway, the comments above are subjective, and we can go on arguing about it.
One thing everyone would unanimously agree is that this is a seminal work, which would take Indian music into totally new direction.

For now, I treat this music just like the way you mentioned, "beyond audible range".
These two segments is something that I am dieing to hear for every breath. This didnt made me cry (like all other mentioned including you), but made me wanna die. It is killing me.

Not really. From what I know, these folks wont pay that easily and its not worth it. We need to find other ways to popularize this music. I will talk to TISK about this.Quote:

I left you message and left message to Vijay also. Also, I need you to prepare a letter that talks about
1. TIS
2. Loans by TamilMaiyam
3. CD Price in USA and India
4. Request to not bring the product from India and spread in USA
I need this urgently. If we dont act in timely manner, you will see the TIS-CD from India in USA market in next 48 hours, retailing for $5 to $8. Please this is urgent.
Thanks

Note: I didnt send PM, because sometme you may not read PM.
TISK, Thanks for getting the CDs to me by yeatserday.
I have listened three times since last evening.
It is divine. It is brilliant.
I did not want to get off the car to go my office. It is that captivating.
When I went to sleep yesterday, I thought Putril Aravum was the greatest song. But every time I woke up last night and through out this morning, "Polla Vinayen" has been playing repeatedly in my mind. I heard it again this morning. What a brilliant composition!
I do not have the knowledge to review the album. I just loved the intertwingling of the tamil and english choir in the Polla Vinayen song right near the end starting with "easan". It is just mindblowing. Everyone of the composition is just unbelievable. Dont forget to listen to choir in real low voices ending the first song.
I cant stop talking about each and everyone of the songs.
The other thing that amazed me about IR as I was listening last night was how perfect the composition sounded with the mixing of the vocies rendering the song witgh the background orchestration and with the two different choirs - in English and Tamil. It told me what vision and command IR should have had of the whole thing to compose and record the different aspects in different places.
The other things I enjoyed. The sound recording is just amazing. The mixing was perfect. The album is great to hear on iPod.
The other thing is the CD design with outer casing. It was classy.
Great work, Team
Dear Raja_fan,
You may send your donations to TIS FOUNDATION, 102, Copper green St, Cary, NC 27513.
Or, as 'jeeves' suggested, you can buy CD's fo the worth of your donation and promote it among your people.
I would prefer you send the check directly, in that case, to avoid Paypal taking a commission and also you avoid the S/H charges.
Thanks.
YIA!!
From Ilayaraaja Fans Group Mailing:
I am practicing CA in Chennai and also one among the
auditors of LandMark and Music world.I have been told that both these
two big stores have declared that TIS is a big hit.They have so far
sold something 25,000 CD.And I am getting the news that day by day
people are coming asking for the CD but unfortunately all these
stores are running short of stocks.And they have incresed the
price,means magin commission by Welgate co., has been reduced.
If anything can be done for stock availabilty,that could further
poost our sales.Can Mr Vijay talk to Welgate and do somthing about
this.
I have so far heard 100 times the TIS tracks.I will discuss
in person at meeting the rags involved in this TIS.The only thing
I can say that the entire world should be proud of our master.Words
can't be expressed our musical feelings.
I just want to convey one message,our group need to honour the Tamil
Maiyam especially father who has done a mar'lous job.Because
of his efforts only we are able to hear the master's wonderfull
compositions.

i absolutely concur with your opinion, the songs just keep running on my mind again and again. Everytime i think of the chants "Namachivaya Vazhga" i get goose bumps. When raja sings "Yegan Anegan" the heart just melts .
Apart from Music there are few good things that has come out of this,
Iam more interested in reading the whole of Thiruvasagam.
Next time when i visit shiva temple with my 2 yr old daughter it would be easy for me to tell about Manika vasagar quoting the symphony to make her understand. I would look at Manikka Vasagar with more respect from now on having tasted a part of his divine work. Thanks to IR for doing it.
kr,
I fully concur with your views. See how seamlessly he has blended the recordings done in Budapest (orch), India (Tamil voices) and New York (English voices). How much planning must have gone into writing the score and the choir placements perfectly. It gives me goosepumps just thinking about Maestro's prowess.
Me too felt great hearing it on iPod, the experience is greater than hearing it on music system. Hearing it on late night / early morning is an experience in itself.
I'd recommend the organisers here to suggest NPR a program on TiS.
Here is the link http://www.npr.org/about/pitch/
Here is the link for the story submission form http://www.npr.org/about/pitch/story.html .
We can also try contact other public broadcasting orgs like BBC, PRI etc.
-Venki
any idea when are the audio cassetes and collector edition getting released?
Guys,
I dont know what to say, but in this forum, i have seen so many blatant comments, but the truth is TIS is out, and it is gr8.. so where r all these people going to rub their nose or paint their faces.
I am not saying you should not doubt, but atleast could refrained from the harsh languages and people who genuinely belived in this project.
To that effect, I have known Sankar through my friends, he actively did promote the IR's initiative with so much heart. People could have written for questions to him, instead, bashed the entire team promoting in a public forum which was unwarranted and un called for.
Any ways, my TIS CD is getting much air time in my personal music system than ne thing else.
After TIS things that will be in the forefront
1. music
2. tamil
3. IR's commitment
4. Team work
Thanks a lot team for seeing fruits of this magnificient venture
PS: People can read into my words and totally misinterpret my intentions.. but I dont really care.

Question : Will there be an update when the 'minimum target' (of loan closure) is reached? (Just for the sake of peace of mind for passionate DF'ers:-))
DEAR NJV,
Thanks for bringing itup. I am contacting Fr. right now to call you. May be you can discuss this with him.I forgot my cell phone this morning. Hence the difficulty of reaching me by you, perhaps.
What to do? We have been facing all kinds of odds for the last 20 months and now that this album has clicked, unscropulous people show their nasty tendencies.
We shall overcome this too.
yellaam iRaivan aruL!
Thanks a lot for your continued help!
Now, let me request all fans who read this to spread this message advising everyone to boycott any other form of Cd other than from www.Tis-usa.com site. If we all do this unitedly, we can make this happen! The least we can do for IIR! Please send out mails, post everywhere. Thanks.
YIA!!
TISK
I am meeting father today. He is in NJ and there is a press meet and one of my press "nanbar" invited me also. So I will discuss with him as well.
Please see PM
Thanks
NJV
njv, pl. ask him about publicity/sales/distribution in Europe and countries in other continents
A CORRECTION TO MY EARLIER MESSAGE!!
DVDONLINE has been co-operating with us selflessly since the release and the boycott list does not include them!!
I will also be posting other outlets in other states who wish to work with us to promote this, in due course!
Thanks.
YIA!!

idhaippadinga modhalla...`ARR speaks: IR dhEsiya soththu':-)
hello, why do we care what ARR has to say about our Ilayaraaja??? My love Ilayaraaja, God of Music is beoynd all these people's comprehension!! okvaa, love, vinatha
Not having proper appetite for a while?
...kObam vandhAl pasi varum...

http://blogontheweb.com/navin/archiv.../02/76233.aspx
baroque - mind what u say!! just a warning!
ok! ok! warning yellam thevayillai!! Bhayamaayerukku!! nejamma! yedho raaja respect, TIS perumaila sollitten, sorry about that!!
I like to read about technical merits,their analysis of this great work TIS by raaja. Instead of reading somebody's praises about Ilayaraaja this point, now the TIS is out!! Adhudhaan naan solliyerukkanum. anyway ARR fans sorry about that, if ARR enlighten us with his understanding of TIS, that would be fantastic!! Greatly appreciated,valued!!
app_engine, thanks for the link, will read, please save me from further trouble!! Raaja enthuley solliten okvaa! love, vinu.
baroque - no worries..:)..IR has done a fantastic job..and we also appreciate it...and our thalai ARR has also appreciated it :)..
I beg you not to turn this one into one of those war threads, please!
Let us have some sanity and let us not add more 'pollaa vinai'into our account!
BTW, I am surprised to note that none of you have written anything about that beautiful song book which is a great tool in understanding this CD and which is hand-written by IIR!!
TISK, Don't worry, this will not become war thread!! Ever since our TIS is out, I am a proud peacock!! I am out of control with pride and joy!!
Thanks Arjuna for the kind response!! Now I have you in my side with understanding, peace appaada!!
This is Ilayaraaja's moment, TIS is our pride and joy!!! Now let me have my lunch, get on with my day!!
Arjuna
Thanks a lot for providing a positive feedback. TIS is a tool for us to reach/see/praise god and thats it. Nothing else.
All IR fans,
ARR is the current national symbol for indian film music. Any word coming from him is followed by his fellow fans, just the way we follow IR words or few others follow Rajni/Kamal words or the way few people still follows what MGR says in the old movies... So Lets appreciate that. Also, ARR could have simple said "I am busy" and no one will even mistake him, but he gave up all his busy schedule and attended the meeting, sitting with all the folks over there, just to honor IR. From now on, even if you wanna have IR-ARR war, please keep it to discuss the merit/demerit of the songs and not the individual.
I dont know if you guys noticed the pic of IR-ARR together. They have been discussing all along very closely, sometime, IR having his hand near ARR's ear and the humbleness in ARR while listening. This is a sight that few music lovers died to see for quite a while. I am sure this will bring a new change and lets hope that we are all in for new treat from ARR-IR combo.
As far as the other blogger goes,,,.... hmm... they have free space and their employer paying them, so they would do anything. So ignore them. TOTALLY.
njv, really, sorry I never been into ARR vs IR war, Naan andha maadhiry person kedaiyaadhu, okvaa!!
TISK, I am really sorry!! You have put so much hard work, this is unnecessary!! I truly regret!!
Lets move on, come on!!! Love, Vinatha!!
Poovar senni mannan - loved the mystical touches which depicts Lord Shiva.
Pola vinaye - 20 mins of serenity! Especially when IR and his crew sing "Namashivaya vazhga nathan thal vazhga" ... it is just blissful!
Thiruvasagam is simply scintillating: rasikas
The music has kindled people's interest in Tamil literature The energy rises with the drums, violins and chorus traversing from the lower to the higher octaves that has a heightened effect when listened to in the total silence of a stereo surround.

Ravishankar said...
பொருளாதாரக் காரணங்களால் தான் இந்த முயற்சி தாமதமானது என அனைவரும் அறிவர். 13 நாட்களில் இசைக்குறிப்பு எழுதி முடித்ததாக அவரே சொல்லியுள்ளார். அதனால் இவ்வளவு நாள் இசையமைத்தது ஆறே ஆறு பாடல்களுக்குத் தானா என்று கேட்பது சரியாகாது.
சிவப் புராண வரிகளுக்கு மேலும் கீழும் மாற்றி மாற்றி ( மெட்டமைதி கருதி) இசையமைத்துள்ளார். இது ஏற்புடையதாகத் தோன்ற வில்லை. இலக்கிய அறிமுகம் இல்லாதோர் உண்மையிலேயே திருவாசகமும் இப்படித் தான் எழுதப் பட்டிருக்கும் என நினைத்துக் கொள்ள வாய்ப்புண்டு. அப்புறம் கடைசி பாடலில் அவர் பேசியிருப்பதைத் தவிர்த்திருக்கலாம்.ஒரு வேளை டி.வி.டி வாங்காத மக்களுக்கு இந்த படைப்பாக்கத்தைப் பற்றி சிறு அறிமுகம் தர எண்ணியிருக்கலாம். அந்த பாடலின் முடிவும் திருவாசகம் அல்லாத வரிகளுடன் முடிவதை கவனிக்க வேண்டும்.(வாதவூரடிகள் வாழ்க..). முடிக்கிற படியே ஆரம்பிக்கவும் அவர் எண்ணியிருக்கலாம். ஆனால் அதற்காக அவரை கன்னா பின்னா வென்று விமர்சிக்கத் தேவையில்லை. ஒருவருடைய படைப்பில் எதையும் செய்யும் உரிமை கலைஞனுக்கு உண்டு.
இசை விமர்சனங்களத் தாண்டி, இளையராஜாவின் இந்த முயற்சி திருவாசகத்தைப் பற்றிய விழிப்புணர்வை ஏற்படுத்தும் என்ற நம்பிக்கை இருக்கிறது. பழந்தமிழ் இலக்கியத்தை வருங்கால சந்ததிக்கு அறிமுகப்படுத்த வேண்டும் என்ற அவருடைய நோக்கம் நிச்சயம் நிறைவேறும். பாடல்களின் முழு உள் அர்த்தம் தெரியாமல் இந்த பாடல்களை ரசிக்க சிரமப்பட்டேன். தேடிப்பிடித்ததில், தமிழ் இணையப் பல்கலைக்கழகத்தில் பொழிப்புரை, விளக்கவுரை தந்திருந்தார்கள். அங்குள்ள நூலகத்தில் மின்னஞ்சல் முகவரி தந்து புத்தகங்களைப் படிக்கலாம். (இதே தளத்தில் கோயில்களில் ஓதப்படுவது போல திருவாசகத்தை வாசிக்கும் ஒலிக் கோப்பும் இருக்கிறது. அதைக் கேட்டு விட்டு மீண்டும் இளைய ராஜாவைக் கேட்கும் போது தான் அவர் எவ்வளவு எளிமையாக இனிமையாக குழந்தைகளும் எளிதில் பாடும் படி இசைஅமைத்திருக்கிறார் என உணர முடியும்)படித்த பின் உண்மையிலேயே நெகிழ்ச்சியாக இருந்தது. பள்ளி செல்லும் வயதில் சில தமிழ் செய்யுள் மனனப் பாடல்களில் திருவாசகமும் இருந்தது என்றாலும், ஏதோ ஒப்பேற்றுவதற்காகத் தான் அப்பொழுது படித்தது. விவரம் தெரிந்து நல்ல இசையுடன் கேட்கும் பொழுது நன்றாக இருக்கிறது.
இந்த இசைத் தொகுப்பு பிரபலமாகும் பட்சத்தில் பின் வருவன் நிகழும் என எதிர்பார்க்கலாம்:
கோயில்களில் வெற்று இயந்திர மணியோசைக்குப் பதில் இந்த இசைத் தொகுப்பு ஒலியேற்றப்படும்.
ரண்டக்க ரண்டக்க பாடும் குழந்தைகள் நமச்சிவாயம் வாழ்கவும் விரும்பிப் பாடுவார்கள்.
கண்டிப்பாகப் பள்ளிக்கூடத் தமிழ் ஐயாக்கள் இந்த மெட்டுகளை மாணவர்களுக்குப் பரப்புவார்கள்.
மேற்கண்டவாறு நடந்தால் சந்தோஷம் தான். ஒரு குறுந்தட்டை வாங்கி என் அக்கா பையனுக்குத் தரவுள்ளேன்.(கொக்குப் பற பற என மழலை மொழியில் பாடிக் கொண்டிருக்கிறான்)
எல்லாரும் பொழிப்புரையைப் படிக்க உதவியாக இருக்கும் விதத்தில் பின் வரும் தகவல் உதவியாக இருக்கும் என நம்புகிறேன். வலைதள முகவரி http://www.tamilvu.org/coresite/html/cwhomepg.htm ல் உள்ள நூலகம்
