Nirutha Ganapathiye

After a somewhat long hiatus, am back to blogging about the pieces. There are reasons for my absence 1. We haven't been learning any lyrical pieces since Konjum Salangai. It was mostly mallari, alarippyu in misram and jathiswarams. So haven't really needed any meanings and analysis. Though the misra nadai might require some special treatment 2. Our arangetram 1:1s have started and on in full swing that our group lessons have taken a back seat 3. I was also away in india for about 5 weeks so that gave me very little time if any to blog. But here I am and back to blogging. This piece we are about to discuss is Nirutha Ganapathiye in Raga Kanakangi. If you are familiar with melakartha ragams (or even if you aren't, now might be a good time to learn about the 72 melakarthas), this is the first of them. I may have to complete this post and come back to it later. It's been a while and the details are a little hazy but I promise to come back and finish this.
