#55. Sekkhizhaar. Musical Periya Puranam of Kesava Mudaliar

The Periya Puranam in Tamil and Siva-bhakta Vilasam in Sanskrit are great devotional and spiritual classics which attract many aspirants, right from the 12th century Basavanna of Karnataka and saints like Ramalinga vallalar and Bhagavan Ramana Maharishi in recent times. Even today, Countless spiritual seekers are inspired by these scriptures.
In the past 1000 years, apart from numerous prose works on the lives of the 63 Saints based on the Periya Puranam, many poets have also composed melodious poems.
Of these, Kesava Mudaliar’s simple composition covering the core incidents of the 63 Saints’ lives, is being presented in these videos. An English gist of the poems is also added to convey the meaning of the poems. The Tamil verses from Kesava Mudaliar's original print (published in 1865) is also reproduced as it is in the videos.
All songs have been rendered in their original musical notes (Raagam & Taalam, except in a very few cases where required), with great devotion and dedication by Ms.Mylai Divya Sundar of Chennai.
Finally and most importantly, these video are the dedicated hard work of a co-bhakta of Bhagavan Ramana, who compiled all the ingredients of the videos and of Ms. Mylai Divya Sundar for her devoted renditions. I have only put the skin, so to speak, over the real flesh and bones! Hope viewers will derive immense devotional benefit from this Series.
