This new thread will feature memorable Tamil classics.
Here's the doyen Madurai Mani Iyer singing "Kandan Karunai Puriyum Vadivel" in Raag Bhimpalasi. The same tune was heard in Hindi, "Veena Madhur Madhur Kachhu Bol" from "Ram Rajya" (1943) sung by Saraswati Rane. If you stop trying to make sense of it all, you'll be less confused. Reality is an illusion.

One of the most revered poetic works in Tamil is the Tiruppugazh, which means "praise of God", by the 14th century saint-composer, Arunagirinathar. He is believed to have composed considerably more than the about 2000 songs that have survived. The Tiruppugazh is known for its beautiful, flowing lyrics coupled with intricate rhythmic patterns. Devotion was the main theme; most were songs in praise of Lord Subramanya, and the compositions bear the poet's signature-ending with the invocation "Perumaaley".
This song, beautifully rendered by the legendary TMS, is from a biographical film made in the early sixties. The lyrics are original verses of the poet-savant, and is an exquisite example of his brilliant alliteration: If you stop trying to make sense of it all, you'll be less confused. Reality is an illusion.
