Kanninun Siruthambu_STD pathasala rendering

This Devaganam rendering was taught to me by my beloved guru Sri Sowbhagyalakshmi Sriramabharati of STD pathasala, Chennai. “Kanninun Siruthambu“ is a 11-versed poem composed by Madhurakavi Azhwar (Alwar) in praise of his acharya Sri Nammalvar, and is a part of the grand 4000 divine poems of Alwars. Who is Nammalvar and Madhurakavi Alwar? In this Madhurakavi is elevating Nammalvar to a higher platform than Krishna and says that given a choice he would prefer his acharyan Nammazhwar than Krishna himself. aviditaviShayAntara: shaThArErupanishadAmupagAnamAtrabhOga: | api cha guNavashAttadEgashEShI madhurakavirhrudayE mamAvirastu || vERonRum nAn aRiyEn vEdham thamizh seydha * mARan sadagOpan vaNkurugUr- ERu * engkaL vAzhvAm enREththum madhurakaviyAr * emmai A
