It was due to the extreme suffering of his sister that his moment of revelation arrived at a point where he surrendered to the Lord Muruga of Tiruvannamalai. Valmiki was a thief, a robber who waylaid passersby, murdered them for his gain . His chance of meeting with Naradha changes his life forever making him the saint who revealed to the world the eternal Mahakavya Ramayana. Music was composed by Dr.Raj Kumar Bharati.
Panchali Sapatham, the mahakavya of Vyasa describes mankind’s evil tendency of anger and jealousy which remain eternal, consumed by extreme animosity towards the Pandavas. Duryodhana, eldest of the Kauravas tries several ways and means to destroy the Pandavas including insulting and disrobing their beautiful wife Panchali.
In a moment of total despair Panchali pleads lord Krishna who protects her honour by sending an unending stream of sarees.
At that point Panchali vows that she will leave her tresses unbraided till it is smeared with blood of the Kauravas. Lord Krishna, the eternal compassionate, stands by the path of justice and ensures that Pandavas meet with justice. Lyrics by Vayesu and music by Padmabushan Sri Lalgudi G Jayaraman.
This showcases the life of the great mystic poet Meera in whose life lord Krishna was pivotal right from the beginning to the end. Meera was born into a strong Vaishnava family as the princess of Mewar. Even as a young child she was consumed by love for Krishna and wanted nothing else in her life. Though her heart was filled with Krishna, due to circumstances she was given in marriage to Rana of Mewar.
Apart from household duties, Meera spent jer time in her altar decorating her lord and singing his praise. Her family members and husband didn’t understand Meera’s love for Krishna and finally she was banished from her kingdom. She went through several trials and stimulations and finally lived in Mathura where she sang to her heart’s content about her favourite lord. Her final journey takes her to Dwaraka as she finds the lord is commanded to be there and finally unites with him leaving behind her mortal remains at sanctum of the lord. Music by Dr. Raj Kumar Bharati.
