Hi,
It is great that you are celebrating the devotion and genius if Saint Thiyagarar in this fashion - Well done and our Heartiest Congratulatios.

am from the Canadian Tamil Multimedia ( www.tamil.fm - www.vlambaram.com plus www.coolwomen.org , More stories section for Regi David’s & my Sri lankan Biographies.)

I enjoy the melodious music of Thiyagarajah Krithis and my grandchildren are learning to sing them in Mississauga , Ontario, Canada. Unfortunately we don’r understand the meaning of the Thelungu krithis - I will be most grateful if you can kindly find out and let me know whether there is any Tamil translations of at least the famous Thiyagarajah Krithis please?
Thanks a lot once again
Lalitha Brodie

Thanks Dushiyanthini!

The photos bring back cherished memoirs of the past. We are no longer able to continue, or participate in the cultural activities, as we are uprooted from our habitual land.

Hai,

I was really lucky to be there as one of the person who really enjoyed that evening. With busy schedules and other commitments we do get tired by the evening but it was one of the evening that gave me a peaceful mind.

Good job done Dush. Wish you all the best.

Tyagaraja was Tamil but composed in Telugu because of the lyrical beauty of the language, just like North Indian poets who write in Urdu because of its beauty.

Wish all the Lankan Tamils a speedy return to peace and prosperity so that they can also make valuable contributions to arts culture and music like in the past.
