	A Pledge Song for Eelam from Tamil Poet Laureate Kannadasan
		For millions of Tamils who are over 40, numerous movie lyrics of Tamil poet laureate Kannadasan (1927-1981) provided special delight in times of happiness and solace in times of sorrow.
		Kannadasan’s play on the word ‘Naadu’ (both its noun form and the verb form) is indeed a beauty.
		In a play on the word Naadu, which means ‘homeland’ (as a noun) and ‘reach the goal’ (as a verb), Kannadasan superbly highlighted the folk wisdom that one’s real heaven (home) is in his or her homeland.

	A poet remembered
		The late film lyricist Kannadasan was remembered at the South India Heritage lecture last Sunday at TAG Centre, Chennai, in an eloquent and often poetic tribute by Vamanan, journalist, author and lyricist himself.
		His knowledge of Kannadasan the lyricist and Kannadasan the man seems to be deep and personal, as his moving tribute to him suggested.
		Kannadasan did not hesitate to taste the forbidden fruit in his eventful life but he was not a sinful man. He suffered from the eternal conflict of balancing the intention for right conduct and the desire for excitement.

	The Hindu : Memorable evening in many ways
		KAVIARASU KANNADASAN Thamizh Sangam had organised the 78th birthday celebrations of the great poet and lyricist Kannadasan, the 13th anniversary of the sangam and a felicitation to poet Vaali at Vani Mahal recently.
		His imitation of the manner in which Kannadasan gave the lyric for the song "Thaen Sindhudhae Vaanam," when Ilaiyaraja was an assistant to composer G. Venkatesh, had the audience lapping it all up with awe.
		Kannadasan had paid tribute to the leader with a poem and it was published in a magazine "It began thus, "Seeriya Netri Engay?" I set it to music.

	Song for Eelam from Kannadasan
		When Kannadasan wrote lyrics for action-oriented movies of former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.G.Ramachandran (MGR; 1917-1987), in 1950s and 1960s, there was undoubtedly an extraordinary ‘punch’ in his lines to provide courage and uplifting spirit to the masses who struggled with daily chores.
		Even when I hum the lines of this particular lyric, I’m still astounded by Kannadasan’s mastery of thoughts, words and vision, and he wrote these lines for MGR to mouth these lines (actually sung by T.M.Soundararajan) in that movie.
		It is my view that the brothers and sisters who have stayed in Eelam have been doing their share in turning the last three lines of Kannadasan’s vision into reality.

		The serious literature guys look down upon these lyricists, but as one of those serious novelists told "Though the population of Tamilnadu is growing, the readership of literature is stagnant at about 1000 plus" or something like that.
		Kannadasan was and is head and shoulders above the rest.
		Songs were tuned for kannadasan's lyrics and vairamuthu writes lyrics to suit a tune...its simply naive to make a comparision between the two in terms of their 'film' works...

	Senses and Sensitivity
		After reading some of his books and doing some amount of net reading on Kannadasan, he sure deserves to be called one of the best Tamil poet in the same line of Bharathiyar,Pattukottai Kalyana Sundaram,Papanasam Sivam and such lustrous lineage of poets produced by Tamizh Nadu.
		Have been reading "Arthamulla Hindu Madham" and am in complete awe.It is not just the aura that he creates in his writing but he is a magician waving his wand on this language called Tamil that is so ethereal and aesthetic in nature.
		Kannadasan is one of my all time greats as well.

		How fetchingly Kannadasan brings to life the sense of shame and despair that the dancer experiences, as she wryly reflects on her life, and the lecherous men who frequent the house to satisfy their lust.
		Kannadasan narrates the twists and turns in the story in a single song "Kizhakku paravai merkku parakkuthu" and TMS is ideally placed in the role of the raconteur.
		Kannadasan's poetic flourish is evident in 'oorgOla mEgangaL thaalaattu paadamal pinnalE neLigindRa kOlam enna' and the clever rejoinder 'kaarkaalam maaRaamal kalyaNam aagaamal thaaLadha nilaikaNdum kELvi enna!'

		First, the taunt [such as, ‘When did you reach the pinnacle of wisdom to look down on the fools?’] by one's peers on the temerity of those who wish to undertake such a gamble on life is obvious.
		What is great about Kannadasan is that he had recorded his foolish thoughts and deeds in his multi-faceted life, via his two volumes of autobiography [Vanavaasam and Manavaasam] and other autobiographical potpourri with self-deprecating humor, humility, pathos and introspection.
		In translation, Kannadasan’s lines read as follows: due to the clowning of Time, the universe was born; due to the clowning of universe, the mind was born; due to the clowning of the mind, love was born; and due to the clowning of love, pairing appeared.

		Euphony to a legend "...To Kannadasan, dwelling on life's philosophies in the simplest of words was child's play.
		Kannadasan could even describe Freudian themes in mere four lines of movie lyrics.
		Even in this lyric, Kannadasan reinforces the theme, "sorrows are credit of life, while the joys are debit, with the balance being mere dreams, and who can comprehend the arithmetic of fate".

		The reason is he has done what Kannadasan has done (specially MGR thathuva paadalgal) he has done what Vairamuthu has done (pure poetic tamil), he has done what Pa Vijay has done (simple but yet meaningful tamil).
		Once (about 1968) a press reporter interviewing Kannadasan and asked him "Which of your latest songs, you are hearing often with interest?".
		Kannadasan replied, "Yes I am hearing a latest song often, but it was not written by me. It was written by Valee.

		Kannadasan Productions’ Sivagangai Seemai- 1959 was Kannadasan’s labour of love, He wrote the script & lyrics; and produced the film.
		Much has been discussed in these pages about Sivagangai Seemai- that Kannadasan embarked on this project as a challenge to Sivaji’s Veerapandiya Kattabomman which was also being made at the same time, and this flamed further the simmering animosity between Kannadasan and Sivaji.
		Kannadasan's native soil was the canvas, and he was familiar with its history and geography.

		In fact as the late Kannadasan, an outstanding Thamil poet and film lyricist across the Palk Strait had elucidated that the Hindu religion is a meaningful one.
		Incidentally, to my mind Kannadasan was the greatest Thamil poet of the last century after Subbramania Bharathi.
		Kannadasan has also written a minor epic on Jesus Christ.

		It mesmerized the audience and we can acknowledge that Kannadasan was indeed a great philosopher.
		One could be called anachronistic in these times of puppy love and mush love stories helped by SMS, email, chatting etc. It will be good to remember that Kannadasan himself has written beautiful love songs but he gave us the right perspective.

		The lyrics of this song are also brilliantly Kannadasan in their own way, and can hold their own even in comparison with Kanne Kalaimaane.
		What makes the song incredible is the knowledge that Kannadasan actually composed the lyrics in exactly the same fashion - MSV composed a piece of music and Kannadasan wrote lyrics to fit the music instantaneously.
