Parulanna mata -Embodiment of Prema Bhakthi

We have seen 10 krithis in this Blog and to make a difference It is a javali this time..
Javalis are generally poems which have a colloquial Word Usage and are simple to understand..They have a very strong feeling of Love towards the Lord..It is one of the 9 ways to do  Bhakthi..It is Prema Bhakthi that centres the krithi.. 
Krishna and his Flute
Parulanna MAta flows in our ears in the form of Prema Bhakthi..The Viraha Taapa of the Nayaki being seperated from the Nayaka..the lord Of Dharmapuri..


This Composition was popularized the Most by the Pithamaha Semmangudi Srinivasa Iyer..So here is the Video Link..



PS: We can also find My Guru Sri Trichy K Ramesh (Right Tambura)Giving him vocal Support..Also In this rendition he precedes the javali with a shloka from Shri Krishna Karnamritham describing the beauty of Shri Krishna..And the Beautful Kapi flowing from the Mouth of the pitamaha is More like a perennial Brahmaputra..

Lyrics and Meaning of the Shloka

ayi murali mukunda smera vaktra aravinda
shvasana madhura saMgne tvAM praNamya adya yAce 
adhara maNi samIpaM prAptavatyAM bhavatyAM
kathaya rahasi karNe mad dashAM nanda sUnoH

I am aware, oh, flute, that you are well aware of the sweetness of the breath of that smiley and lotusy face of mukunda; as such I reverently beg you to whisper sweetly and sub rosa into the ear of the son of nanda about my wretched state, whenever you are closely drawn to his jewelly lower lip for fluting.

I always feel the beautiful Imagination of the poet whenever i hear this Shloka...Probably a Flute vidu Thoothu..!! lol"


Parulanna Matta. rAgA: kApi. Composer: Dharmapuri SubbarAya Iyer. 


Pallavi
parulanna mATa namma vaddu prANa nAyaka
Oh the Lord of my life, please do not listen to the words of others.

Charanam
mOmu cinna pOyina marmamEmirA mAyalADi bOdhanace mAya cEsErA
What is the reason that your face is dull? 
Did some witch entice you with her words?

madayAna evate nIku mandu beTTErA mundu delpu ipuDu mOvi vinta jEserA
Which lady, who walks as if she is intoxicated, drugged you?
Do tell me now, she has made your countenance strange.

dharmapurini sthiramugA nelakonna sAmi nI dharmamuna nElukOrA nIku mrokkErA
Oh lord, who lives in dharmapuri, please take care of me righteously, I bow to you.


The pallavi Is very pleasing in the sangathis at "Prana Nayaka" 
It bring a variety of themes from anxiety to agony.
The Charanams are well phrased to bring out the right emotions.
Overall a soothing hearing experience.


Let the Love Towards The Lord grow Greater and Greater..
