Trichy Temple Song Download [BETTER]
Hedy Paino
Superstar Rajinikanth has been a part of many superhit songs in his illustrious career but even now, one song among all these hits stands out for its sheer bliss-like quality. Mannan had this song titled Amma Eendrazhaikaadha, written by the legendary Vaali, sung by K.J.Yesudas and composed by Maestro Ilaiyaraja.
Vaali is particularly proud about having written this song, even considering his illustrious career that has spanned so many decades. He says that this song has entirely been engraved on the stones of the famous Ayyappan temple in Trichy. This song is also being played all day long in the speaker system at that temple. Vaali is pleased even more, because Rajaji's famous 'Kurai Ondrum Illai' song has also been engraved on a nearby stone.
Vaali was born in an Iyengar brahmin family[4] as T. S. Rangarajan on 29 October 1931 to Srinivasan Iyengar and Ponnammal Iyengar. His native place is Thirupparaithurai, Tiruchirappalli district. Growing up, he studied at Higher Secondary School for Boys, Srirangam, Srirangam till he finished his SSLC. He went to Madras in 1950 seeking an opportunity in theTamil film industry.[5] In the 1960s and 1970s, he received patronage from actor M. G. Ramachandran and became a successful lyricist, in competition with poet Kannadasan, which he had chronicled in his autobiography Naanum Indha Nootrandum. Vaali has also authored other books such as Avathara Purushan, Pandavar Bhoomi, Ramanuja Kaviyam, Krishna Vijayam, Thamizh Kadavul, Kalaignar Kaviyam, Krishna Bhakthan and Vaaliba vaali. His song "Amma Endru Azhaikatha Uyir Illaiye" is carved in the stone in a temple in Trichy.[6] He wrote songs for M. G. Ramachandran in 63 films and also for Sivaji Ganesan in 70 films. He has written more than 15000 songs in Tamil films.[7]
Hi everyone, this post is purely to complain about the garbage anthem song ('Oho namma ooru') and inquire if there is any way I can get recourse and just not hear it being played in the streets anymore.
In the last few months, many days I've woken up to the loud noise of this song---that is quite honestly not bad by itself but is terrible to hear on repeat. The sound being played is very loud in the morning, greatly distracting and sometimes even disturbing (& distracting) considering that I've had tests online in the morning that I had to focus on. It starts at such a loud level that, truthfully, sometimes it takes me by surprise and genuinely leaves me with knee-jerk reactions.
From the bottom of my heart, I wish for this song to stop being played everyday in the morning by those handling the garbage trucks. It's terrible to hear on repeat, most certainly does not help reinforce the notion of maintaining a clean city given its crassness and is just a plain nuisance.
This temple houses a well (Amrutha teertham = nectar) which was apparently created by Rama for his army to quench their thirst. We tasted water from the well and it does taste good. It is also believed to bless you with a long and prosperous life.
I have written earlier on this place and also recorded a story on it for my YouTube channel but the Akhanda Cauvery region, with three temples for Shiva exerts a magnetic pull. So when Sruti magazine recently asked me to write on them I gladly did. The first of the three-part series, on Kadambavaneswarar Temple, Kulithalai, came out this month. I am reproducing it here.
The Cauvery as it flows between Karur and Trichy widens somewhere near Thirunarayanapuram and continues that way till it reaches Gunaseelam where it begins to branch off as the Kollidam, thereby forming the island of Srirangam. This wide section is known as the Akhanda Cauvery and located along its banks is a triad of Shiva Temples, all famed for verse and song. Kalai Kadambar, Mathiya Sokkar, Anthi Venginathar is the oft repeated slogan here, for you are expected to visit all three on the same day and in that order. Kadambar Koil in Kulithalai is to be visited in the morning, followed by Thiruvatpokki or Ratnagiri or Iyermalai in the afternoon and Maragathachalam or Thiruingoimalai in the evening. This is easier said than done, for while the first is at ground level, the other two are on hills and can only be accessed by tough ascents. And yet, many savants, saints and singers have done it before us.
The Lord, He of the five faces, is known as Kadamba Vana Nathar or Kadambavaneswarar or simply Kadambar. A second legend, one that connects the shrine to the temple at Iyermalai is of the seven mothers (Sapta Mata-s) worshipping Lord Shiva to expiate for the sin of killing sage Katyayana under the mistaken impression that he was the demon Dhumralochana. The images of the Sapta Mata-s are behind the linga in the sanctum itself. The verse by Kadavarkon rather sternly asks us to keep chanting the name of the Lord at Kuzhi Thandalai and not postpone this task to a time when the spirit is leaving our decaying body. It is one of the 24 kshetra venba-s composed by this king.
In the 19th century, Muthuswami Dikshitar visited Kulithalai and composed his Neelakantam Bhajeham in raga Kedara Gaula/Rupakam. The song has plenty of references to the sthala puranam and also some other features of the temple. It alludes to worship by Brahma and Muruga, the name of the Goddess, the deity being of five faces looking northwards and also the fact that the place is Dakshina Kasi.
Kulithalai is now a fairly busy town, and there is no sign of the Kadamba grove that gave the place its name. But the river front, which is accessed by a straight path from the temple, is still very charming. Having visited the shrine and reflected on all its glorious contributions to the world of performing arts, let us now proceed to Iyermalai.
