 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 !
