All,

Is anyone aware of a bouquet of nine songs reportedly by purandaradasa called "navamanimala" or "navagrahamala" or "navamala" or something starting with "nava" and presumably ending with "mala".

If so, any pointers will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance..
-Vasu

  Yes, just like 'Pancha Ranta Keerthanas' for Shri Thyagaraaja, there is 'Nava Ratna Maalika' for Shri Purandaradaasa. These kritis are to be sung specially on the day of Purandara Daasara Aaradhana in a group. I have a copy of the CD that contains all these keerthanas. If you would like a copy , please mail me at : SumanthCP at Hotmail dot com and I shall be happy to send you one. From your ip address I take it you are in Australia so it won't be a problem.

  This song is in the form of a conversation between could even be as between lakSmi & pArvati comparing viSNu to Siva. This also glorifies the daSAvatAras of viSNu There are a few errors in th sAhitya and I shall correct them as I go along giving the meaning

  Hi vasu harish
  the purandaradAsa dEvaranAmas that u have asked about are collectively called the "navaratnamAlike" or the garland of 9 gems.
  The sAhitya and meanings for all these are available online on this link
  
  http://www.ibiblio.org/sripedia/oppiliappan/archives/apr03/msg00004.html
  
  If this does not work, go to google and search "naa ninna dhyana" and u will find this posted under the oppiliappan trust. good luck and happy reading
