If we are able to enjoy all the happenings in the month of Marghazhi, from any corner of our house, we can applaud Vijay TV for accomplishing this impossible task with a positive attitude! Be it music, temples, discourses,the scores of festivals or any programme of spiritual importance, all are redolent with the sweet fragrance named" Innovative and Intimate"!
Jayalakshmi shows her prowess in also conducting the shows with a sweet charm of her own, proving that she is not only a good dancer but a pretty "Anchor Master" also. Her poetic words and phrases give a lot of inspiration to continue following the whole episode with undivided interest! She looked beautiful in that dark coloured sari with all components matching, to suit her moods and bring happiness to viewers alike!
"Keese keesendrengu" in Saxsophone in Bhairavi Ragam sounded heavenly, played by Ramanathan and group in front of the temple!That gives more sanctity to the pasuram and the player!
Swami Karunagarachariar throws abundant fun in the pasuram, by explaining the admiration Andal has for nature, for the chirping of birds and the happiness we derive out of those pleasant noise. She compares the sound of the birds to unbearable noise for one of her friends, as she refuses to get out of her sleep and join with Andal for "Paavai Vratham".Swamy referred to sixth and seventh pasuram, as the lines depicting the mellifluous sounds of birds and animals, all chanting the nama of the Lord!In villages in earlier days, and even now, we can hear the constant and loud chirping of the birds and cocks, that gives instant awakening, to get going with our daily chores, starting with the chanting of slokas and mantras! We are not fortunate enough to hear the same in the city, where the bounty of nature had totally diminished! Swamigal beautifully symbolizes the ardent devotee of nature in Andal, and the kind words she uses to awaken her friends in the pasurams th to fifteeth, in order to praise the Lord and recieve all the benefits of life from HIM!
In "Kodhai pirandha oor Srivilliputhur", milk flows in abundance due to plenty of cow herds, that flank the Lord to pour out milk for HIM! Many of us may not be knowing that the milk sweet "Palkhova" is the dominating delicacy of Srivilliputhur and vice versa! It was delightful to see people making palkhova in huge "Kadais" in the hygienic manner and conducive atmosphere! The details that the sweet is disposed by the end of the day, and that nothing is carried over for the next day, is very satisfying to note and very new for many of us! That is where VIJAY TEAM stands ahead of the rest! "Maattri yosi" is synonymous of them as a whole!
Both the "Parampariya Illams" took the viewers to their houses, and we felt the sanctity of the buidings which were more than one hundred and fifty years old. Many generations had lived and enjoyed the nearness of their forefathers in every nook and corner of the houses! The second house, whose walls were built of sand, still looks magnanimous with a cool atmosphere inside! The simple technology, the aura of simlicity and the immense satisfaction was rightly, passed on to the viewers and we really felt ecstatic!
Mambalam sisters, Vijayalakshmi and Chitra had been singing for so many years, blending both their voices into a single string of gentle melody! Being the daughters of famed Kanjira Vidwan, K.S. Rangachari, they had trained their voice through strict, disciplined and long hours of practice to provide unlimited melody to the ears of the viewers! That they were appreciated by the popular critic"Subbudu" is very natural and well deserved! The accolades that they enjoyed from Music Academy for singing the "ragam, tanam and pallavi" in the rare ragam Vivadhi is a Kohinoor diamond in their crown of achievement! Many viewers had heard the "ragam, tanam and pallavi" in the ragam Vivadhi!
"Aazhi mazhaikkanna" in Varali was soul stirring! We wish a very long meritorious years of music and accomplishments for the Mambalam sisters!
