Sathiya Vedham - nice devotional

Gopi Sundar (MD - 1983 - Olanjali Kuruvi) talks about the recording of the chart buster duet: "Vani Jairam rendered the song in a single take, two charanams and the pallavi. In my tenure as MD I have never witnessed such a thing."

‘I can’t stop singing, it’s my life’

-By K. Pradeep; The Hindu, february 5, 2015

Vani is special because she can sing in a well-poised, sympathetic voice, without effort, with an ability to relate imagination to her voice and to sing with imagination.

Neel D and raagadevan -

Thank you for sharing the clip and the link. Great to catch up with what I'd missed.

VJ's tribute to KB. Heartfelt praise, and she sings a medley of songs by her for his films (halfway through this episode).

Vani singing that Ramanujan song. Awesome. She also sang a short number in the recent Kaaviya Thalaivan. Is she mixing the la and zha sometimes? Or is my Tamil not up to it?

While you've answered your own question, here is the original verse by Arunagirinathar. You could follow the script while listening to the song and you will discover that VJ's rendition is immaculate.

"ஏவினை நேர்விழி மாதரை மேவிய
ஏதனை மூடனை நெறிபேணா
ஈனனை வீணனை ஏடெழு தாமுழு
ஏழையை மோழையை அகலாநீள்
மாவினை மூடிய நோய்பிணி யாளனை
வாய்மையி லாதனை இகழாதே
மாமணி நூபுர சீதள தாள்தனி
வாழ்வுற ஈவது மொருநாளே
நாவலர் பாடிய நூலிசை யால்வரு
நாரதனார் புகல் குறமாதை
நாடியெ கானிடை கூடியசேவக
நாயக மாமயி லுடையோனே
தேவி மனோமணி யாயிபராபரை
தேன்மொழி யாள்தரு சிறியோனே
சேணுயர் சோலையி னீழலி லேதிகழ்
சீரலை வாய்வரு பெருமாளே."

Naaz, much appreciate it for supplying the heavy duty Tamizh lyrics by Arunagirinathar. Not much of a sen-Thamizh expert (although I scored 86 in my SSLC exam and was quite solid in Tamizh, but that was aeons ago!) but remember during my recent trip to India that one of my aunts was totally into Arunagirinadhar's Thirupugazh (?). Will listen to the song along with these lyrics.

Yes, heavy duty Tamizh lyrics, indeed! My Senthamizh is somewhere between nowhere and non-existent, hence I too discovered the nuance and cadence of that Thirupugazh verse by following the script. It makes a huge difference! Do share your thoughts after this experiment? Thanks.
