Topic: Giriraja Kavi


In the News (Tue 15 Dec 09)

  
  Giriraja Kavi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Giriraja Kavi was a noted composer of Carnatic Music, who lived in the 18th century in the kingdom of Thanjavur.
Giriraja Kavi was based in Tiruvarur, in the delta of the Cauvery river, a region that has produced so many of the cultural icons of South India.
Indeed, Thyagaraja was born in the house of Giriraja Kavi at Tiruvarur, and was named after the presiding deity of the main temple of that town.

 Gaudiya Discussions -> Govardhana Puja
The king of the demigods Indra, intoxicated as he was with pride of his opulences, was unable to understand this merciful pastime of the Lord and began to engage clouds like the Samvartaka, that are used to destroy the universe, to vanquish Gokula with showers of rain and thunderbolts.
The most lovely solitary caves of Sri-Sri Giriraja are decorated by the saffron that has fallen off Sri-Sri Radha-Madhava’s bodies during Their amorous pastimes, and this shows that the most intimate pastimes of the Divine Pair take place there.
In this way Sri Giriraja has become blessed by carrying hundreds of charming caves and groves on his body, that are decorated with Sri-Sri Radha-Madhava’s necklaces, bangles and garlands, that were broken during Their amorous battles.

 Galaxy of Composers - Tyagaraja (1767 - 1847) by Dr. V Raghavan - Part 2)
Girirajakavi is said to have been his paternal grandfather and some see a reference to this fact in Tyagaraja's Ganesa song in Bangala, Giriraja suta tanaya; but if we respect grammar as much as pious tradition, this reference makes Giriraja the maternal grandfather, Matamaha, of Tyagaraja (son of the daughter of Giriraja).
If Giriraja was really Tyagaraja's maternal grandfather, it is but natural that Tyagaraja's mother was confined at her father's place and Tyagaraja's own father was already there, for Tyagaraja's father is shown by that fact that the elder brother of Tyagaraja was named Japyesa after the deity at Tiruvadi.
In the Tanjavur Library, among the Telugu manuscripts, we have operas and poems of a Giriraja Kavi of Shahaji's Court, who was a musician too; his inti-nama was Garbha and his gotra too was different from Tyagaraja's; he being the maternal grandfather.

While the authenticity of historical records connected with Tyagaraja life continues to remain disputed, a widely accepted version based on two sources, the palm leaf manuscripts of his direct disciple Sri Valajapet Venkataramana Bhagavatar, and a notebook kept by the latter's son.
Tyagaraja was born on 27th Caitra, Sarvjit, a Sukla Saptami corresponding to 4th May, 1767 in Tiruvarur in the residence of his maternal grandfather, Sri Giriraja Kavi who was attached to the Tanjore court.
He was the third son of Sri Rama Brahmam and Sitamma, who were living in a house gifted by Tulajaji of Tanjore at Tirumanjana Veethi in Tiruvayyaru.

Kavi Chandra Maharaja helped me in keeping track of the money I collected and one day he told me you now have enough money to buy a ticket to India.

Actually, She is never in viyoga, in the sense that she is never separated from Krsna.
Srila Rupa Gosvami has explained this truth in his Lalita-Madhava and also in Ujjvala Nilamani, and that is why Kavi Karnapura has not discussed the lila of Mathura and Dvaraka.

 Sri Guru Purnima: Remembering Sanatana Goswami
Then Sri Krsna presented him a stone from Govardhan hill with the imprint of His foot, a calf’s foot print and the impressions of a stick and flute in it, telling him that to circumambulate the Govardhana-sila would be the same as circumambulating Giri-Govardhana.
Then Sanatana could understand that Giriraja Himself had presented His worshippable form to him and from that day he would circumambulate this sila.
In the Gaura-ganoddesa-dipika Sri Kavi Karnapura has glorified Sri Sanatana's position as Rati Manjari (aka Lavanga Manjari) in the nitya-lila.

 Natural Love
Traveling here and there, whenever Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu saw a forest He would think, “This is Vrndavana.” When He would see a hill, He would actually experience, “This is Giriraja Govardhana.” If He saw a river like Godavari, he thought, “This is Yamuna.” In this way He was absorbed in maha-prema.
Of course it was not Giriraja Govardhana, but He would see it in that way – by His mood.
When Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu went to Vraja Mandala for parikrama and He saw Giriraja Govardhana, He saw the pastimes of Sri Sri Radha-Krsna.

He thus made me the heir of his books, which I consider a great honour, for it means he felt I was going to appreciate them.
