We had Tyagaraja Aradhana
at school. Sri Tyagaraja is also known as Tyagayya — he was one of the greatest
composers of Carnatic music. He composed thousands of devotional songs. He was
born in 1767 in Tamil Nadu in a Telugu Brahmin family.
To celebrate this incredible
day, the CCEP students from Grades III, IV, V, and VI set up a special assembly
in the MPH. The program started with a lamp lighting ceremony. Sudhiksha and
Amani from Grade V gave a short introduction on Tyagaraja and even entertained
the audience. After this, there was 'Thought for the Day' and a special
instrumental prayer played on the violin.
In honour of Tyagaraja
Swami, we sang a melodious Tyagaraja Kriti “Sarasa Netra Para Guna...” in
Sankarabharanam Ragam, Adi Talam. About 30-40 students sang the Kriti very
beautifully accompanied by 12 students on the Tabla and 2 students on the
Keyboard. All the children were dressed in traditional attire. I played the
Tabla.
It was one of the best
assemblies so far.
