oops its got va and a va !
Yes, Sandhya! It is 'NavAvaraNam'. They are two sets of NavAvaraNam.

Though both sets are called the same, Dhikshithar's
NavAvaraNam is addressed to Goddess Kamalamba of Thiruvarur

while Venkata Kavi addresses Goddess Kamakshi of Kancheepuram. Dhishithar's songs are more popular and the nine

songs are respectively for the nine days! In the NavarAthri concerts at Thiruvananthapuram Padmanabha Swami temple,

the artists add the specific song of the day, in their concerts.

 
Thanks for posting the above link (in post #5) -.
Trichur Brothers (in the link Dhyana Kritis) sing both Mutuswamy Dikshitar's (on kamalAmba) and Oothukkaadu venkata kaavi's (on kAmAkshi) kritis - one in thodi and the other one in kalyaani - very delightful to listen to. What a glorious way to start navarAtri!

It is advisable to listen to Navavarna Kritihis despite the musical background. If a
person listens to it, he/she would automatically be directed towards the arena of bhakthi
of Goddess besides chanting enables them to achieve divine spirit and finally
singing them facilitates to attain Moksha.

The details of the kritis are found in 'Sri Vidya ' upasana book. These songs have in-depth
meaning, both as regards Sri Vidya worship and also advaitic thoughts.

TOPICS


musicCarnatic Classical
arts, culture and entertainment



In these Avarana kritis, both Venkata Kavi and Dikshitar show tremendous scholarship and familiarity with the intricacies of mantric-tantric rituals associated with the Srichakra pooja. Venkata Kavi prefers to reveal these early on in the piece while Dikshitar tends to do so in the latter part of his compositions.

This composition is on the presiding Goddess of the third AvaraNa, which is called sarvAsamkShobhaNa cakra.
Free translation:
Dikshitar shows tremendous scholarship and familiarity with the intricacies of mantric-tantric rituals associated with the Srichakra pooja and tends to reveal these in the latter part of his compositions.
He hails the goddess thus – she who resides in the eight-petalled lotus; whose hands hold the bow and arrows; and who is the ocean of the ambrosia of mercy. She, Sri Kamalambika, bestows her merciful sidelong glance on me, and fills me with Satchidanandam, and endows me with the Brahmaswarupam.

Free translation:
I always worship only you, Oh Mother, who is compassionate towards all beings. You have captured Shiva's heart and constantly recite the seed mantra of the blissful Shiva.
You are the Goddess of all mantras and tantras, residing in the eight-petalled lotus. You are the more hidden Yogini, who kills the world-threatening Bhandasura, and who enchants the eight Goddesses beginning with Anangakusuma.
Being of the form of self-luminous knowledge, you illuminate the outer material and the inner subtle worlds, moved by divine bliss. You enchant all, by exhibiting divine love. You grant aspirants the eight accomplishments such as Anima etc. You are of the form of all yantras, and you preside over name and form in the universe. The sister of Narayana, you hold a Vina, with strings that represent the art of music.
