பண்ணைப்புரதில் பிறந்த உனக்கு
பன்னாடுகளில் ரசிகர் உண்டு
என்னாட்டில் இருந்தால் என்ன - என்றும்
உன்பாட்டில் எமக்கு மோகம் உண்டு
காபி என்பது குடிக்க என நினைத்தேன்
காபியில் நீ பாட்டே போட்டாய்
உன் பாட்டில் மயங்கி நானும்
காபி கூட குடிக்க மறந்தேன்
அன்னக்கிளியில் தொடங்கி இன்று
ஆயிரக்கணக்கில் பாட்டுகள் உண்டு
ஆயிரம் என்ன கோடி இருந்தாலும்
ராஜா பாட்டுக்கு வாசமே சான்று
தனி ராகத்தில் பாட்டிழைத்தாய் - கூடவே
அவியலும் சேர்த்தளித்தாய்
ராகம் அறியா - ராக்காயிக்கும் நீ
ராகத்தின் மேல் தாகம் தந்தாய்
உன் பிறந்த நாளை மறந்தேன் - ஆனால்
உன் இசையை எப்படி மறப்பேன் நான்
ஜூன் முப்பதுக்கு - காத்திருக்கிறேன்
திருவாசகம் கேட்க ஆவலாக!

srivatsan maadhiri aal irukkara varaikkum tfm page pasanga iruppaanga
both arr and Ilai are greats and of diff generations and live diff genre of music..
Y compare?
Nice tribute. He would remain my favorite composer of all time. I was blown away when I heard "how to name it" and "nothing but wind". After that, I rigorously started listening to his old songs. Amazing talent.
I am surprised as to how you keep track of birthdays of all eminent personalities.
Sir,
Nice post. None can have second opinion on his musical knowledge (i should stress original works)and tons of ever-green compositions. Above all, he is so humble and simple.
Regards,
Sundaresan.
sir,i came 2 ur blog from srivatsan's.was excited to see that ur a illayaraja fan...so am i...in fact just about an hour ago i was listening to raja's how to name it?...he is such a genuis...when ppl compare lesser musicians like rehman to raja i get furious...i like rehman too...but compared 2 raja he is like a small hill compared to mount everest!do visit my blog when u can.
totally agree with u on IR...genius!
Great Post . I salute Raja's Genius ! What an amazing repertoire of songs..
Thanks Narayanan for reminding us. Happy belated birthday Ilayaraja ji.
good one on IR....
Wonderful one on IR.
genius no doubt.....brought carnatic music to every tom dick and harry in tamilnadu......
only one question remains -- why did he not release his symphony.....was that a personal issue or a management issue or distribution issue.....I dont know...
to reach such heights is sheer talent no doubt....
ioiio - Thank you , ellam peelings dhaan!
Prabu Karthik - I like Ilayaraja. In fact people who were in their teens when Ilayaraja entered the
tamil music world would certainly have a special place for him.
Grey Vampire - Genius is a genius be it ARR or IR or YSR or KR or Deva or HJ or VS or anyone.!
Clubs only cater to their respective idols. MHO.!
Srivatsan - Thank you Sir, I like raaja too. by the way Chippi irukkudhu is by MSV.
Kanne kalaimaane is a great song indeed.! Nandha is not my IR.
Mumbai Express - You are 100% right. I love the songs...and especially Poo Pooththadhu. Its got a
special charm in it.!
Ganesh - Thank you
Magnus Astrum - Is this Vanja Pugazhchi ani.! Just kidding.
Thank you ...wonderful kavidhai.said...
Anjali - IMHO, Raaja is a super Isai Gnani indeed.
ioiio - You said right. IR and ARR can't be compared.
tt_giant - I liked NBW and HTNI. Wonder why his Maestro CD wasn't released.
Baejaar - I was looking for details on the symphony. Then I saw that his B'day was on June-02.
Actually in real life ...I forget so many birthdays.
Sundaresan said - Thank you. IMHO, Raaja's rich knowledge of Carnatic music made his the genius he is.
Humble and simple too...I agree.
Siddharth - Yes sir, I like IR ..but then I like everybody else as well in all languages. IR is certainly
on top of my list. Thanks for stopping by. I'll certainly read you today.
capriciously_me - I agree, Thank you
Cogito - Yes Sir, I agree, he had a wonderful range. He has touched several raaga and several styles of music.

Maran - Thank you sir.!s
Ram.C - Thank you
PVS - Thank you
Ganesh Venkittu - You are right. And I am also wondering why the Maestro-symphony wasn't released
genius no doubt.....brought carnatic music to every tom dick and harry in tamilnadu......
Vatsan.
I am an ardent IR fan too. but I would like to point out that 'Chippi irukkuthu' is composed by MS Viswanathan and 'Mun Paniyaa' is composed by Yuvan Shankar Raja.
