#26 (Thyagaraja) A Surprise Visit Comments

Fellow Rasika, I am not devout, but I spent five years of high school in Tanjavur, and became enamoured of Karnatic music, especially Thyagaraja kritis. I read this poem with interest. I am only two years junior to you. Have you read Rajaji's narration of Mahabha and Ramayana? R.K. Narayan's, 'Gods, Demons and others', P. Lal's versions from Sanskrit in English verse? Best wishes.

a story, a song and a prayer in a poem....that was a very nice surprise visit..

A great event. Your writing has a warmth about it. It is beautiful and alive. It truly has feeling that glows. Lovely. DC

A very good narration and rendering about Tyagaraja and his composition.

You are at your lyric best in this poem. Music flows from your pen as music flows from the saint's lips. Warm regards, Sandra
