Episode 3: Mahaganapathim - Nattai || Muthuswamy Dikshitar - 1 Jan 2021
"Appreciating non-Tamil kritis through lyrical videos with Tamil translations"
Background : Legend says that Dikshitar composed a series of kritis called ‘Shodasa Ganapati kritis’, dedicated to the sixteen (Shodasa) forms of Ganesha located in shrines around his birthplace Tiruvarur. This kriti refers to the ‘Maha Ganapati’ form.
Gist of the kriti : The kriti is an invocation to Lord Ganapati, and has meaning as below:
“I meditate upon the supreme Ganapati who is worshipped by Vasishta, the Vamadevas, etc. He is the son of Lord Shiva, and is praised by Guruguha. He shines bright like millions of cupids, is tranquil and loves great epics, drama, etc. He loves the sweet Modaka, and has a mouse as his mount”.
