The artist is accompanied by a full bench of talented
 Pakka Vaadhyam artists ( Violin , Flute, Mrudhangam , Ghatam
 and Morsing ). They complimet the pradhAna artist sensitively.
 
The artistry of SrImathi Vasumathy BadrinAth is  of the highest
Quality. To construct "mettu " for Sanga Kaala Tamizh Paasurams
of AzhwArs and to wed them to appropriate Raagams and TaaLams
in the spirit of Swamy  Naathamuni , who set the Four Thousand
sacred collect to Music originally is an extraordinary achievement .
 
The Bhakthi bhAvam and RaasAnubhavam that the artist brings to
the rendering of these Paasurams is noteworthy. Her deep knowledge of
both Carnatic Music and rigorous training in Bharatha Naatyam
nuances  join together to leave the listeners with a delightful
experience . The azhuttham at specific places , the rendering of
many imaginative sangathis , niravals , clarity of diction , Layak-kattuppAdu ,
Sruthi Suddham and  appropriate Eduppus are hall marks of the seasoned
artistry of SrImathi Vasumathi Badrinath .
 
It is our hope that she would create more such recordings even if
they are sung as simple Virutthams to the accompaniment of
VeeNai . It is hoped that she will add Paasurams of Thirumangai
Mannan , Madhura Kavi and ThiruppANa AzhwAr in her next recordings.
 
The anugraha BhAshaNam of SrImath Azhagiya Singar for this recording
*************************************************************************************
Bhagavaan has blessed us with many MhOpakArams. One of the best
among them is that of giving good birth in VaishNava Kulam. We can
gain janma Saapalyam ( fruition of the purpose in life ) if we engage in
th study of Bhagavath Vishayam associated with the Four Thousand
sacred collect . For fulfilling the purpose of birth as a human being ,
it is not enough to study SaasthrAs but we have to steep ourselves
in the enjoyment of Bhagavath Vishayam . The blessed and divine
works( aruLiccheyalkaL ) of the AzhwArs are focused on the enjoyment of
the glories of the archAvathArams of SrIman NaarAyaNan (Consecrated
icons of the Lord ) at  the 108 dhivya dEsams. Their dhivya prabhandha
paasurams helps us to enjoy the limitless , auspcious attributes of
the Lord , which is  an insatiable nectarine experience . Many indeed are
the commentaries of dhivya prabhandham scholars on these four
thousand sacred collect.The beauty and the depth of theological
meanings of the  words chosen by AzhwArs  in their paasurams are
indecribable as revealed from the works of commentators .
 
SrImathi Vasumathi BadrinAth of Bombay has created the tunes (mettu) for
selected Paasurams of the AzhwArs in htis recording . Listening to them
will fillone's mind with Bhagavath Bhakthi . If one knows also the meanings of
these paasurams , it will take us to a higher level of aanandham .Even if one
does not have the command of the meaning of   the Pasurams , the sukham
of just listening to these renderings will develop deep bhakthi for BhagavAn.
All of You should acquire this recording and listen to it in your houses .
You should not only listen to these renderigns but also make the Lord
listen at your house altars.That will bless you all with inestimable
soubhAgyams and happiness . That is the power of the aruLiccheyalkaL
of the AzhwArs . My aasIrvAdhams to you all !
