New Tamil book --- Sri Kanchi Mamunivar Anthadi!
=======================================

May 30


Savitri Foundation recently released Sri Kanchi Mamunivar Anthadi, a slim volume of verses tracing the highlights in the life of the sage. In Anthadi, the last word of a verse becomes the opening phrase of the next. It is a hymn, where the thought process continues in seamless fashion.

The composer, Karur L. Subramanian, was inspired by a book released in connection with Paramacharya’s 60th birthday. He wanted his tribute to be in the Anthadi format. It so happened the sage attained samadi when the poem was completed, on Anusham, the star on which He was born. The Anthadi now got a whole new significance. It was circulated as a pamphlet, among the devotees, who visited the Kanchi Math, until it reached the hands of J. Bala- subramaniam, auditor and founder, Savitri Foundation. He decided to not only release the poem as a handy booklet but also get it sung by a musician and the choice fell on Dr. R. Ganesh.

Both book and CD were recently released in the city by HH Sri Jayendra Saraswati Swamigal and HH Sri Vijayendra Saraswati Swamigal. Dr. Ganesh has rendered the verses in 25 ragas, staying true to the syntax.

This enables the listener to get the outline as the musical journey hits the highlights. The book has additional poems composed by various poets as tribute. For details contact 24616439 and 9176671177.
