“ThaenAmudham” (Celestial Nectar)-5, begins with an eloquent preface titled “Isai Thoranam” in Shri. Arunji’s divine voice that exudes grace and serenity.
“Vedathinulle”- a Bhajan on Lord Ganesha rendered with melody and devotion by Divya Raghavan, a well known devotional singer from Karnataka.
Shri. Arunji with amazing fervor and intensity portrays the emotion of Saint Vallalar’s “Thiruarutpa” “Petra Thaaithanai magamaranthallum” and blends it with his own all time popular Bhajan “Sankara Chandrasekara” finally concluding it with a reverberating Shiva Thandavam.“Krishnam Vandhe Nandhakumaram” with a prelude from Andal’s “Thirupavai” Ongi ulagalanda uthaman paerpaadi” will lift the listener to meditative bliss.
“Achyuta Kesava Govinda Madhava Deenadayal Prabhu Deenadayal” will ignite the plenteous energy in the listeners. I just love to dance standing on my toes whenever I hear this song. He has combined Bharathiyar’s lyrics “Kannan mugam marandhupoanaal – indha kangalirundhu payanundoo” wonderfully.
“Narayana Namo Narayana” in Raag “Hindolam” is a sublime rendition with utmost devotion. This beautiful bhajan helps one delve deep within and feel the bliss.
“Vishamakara Kannan” with excellent lyrics and a touch of hilarity is sure to be popular with everyone irrespective of age. It is in his own unique way that Shri. Arunji brings before our eyes the mischievous Krishna and his childhood pranks in the form of an enjoya
ble song.
“Vetrilayile Mala Kattunga” - a Bhajan on Anjaneya was created in Sri Lanka and the Bhajan has become very popular in “Thaen Amudham Satsangs”. The lyrics narrate the amazing qualities of Anjaneya and his benevolence. Smt. Shoba Chandrasekhar, a well known devotional singer, has rendered this duet.
“Buddham Sharanam” is a melodious Bhajan, sure to lead the listener on to an odyssey of spiritual bliss.
The Music by Shri.Sharavan is brilliant and is complementing well with the vocal singing. The chorus singing by Ms.Chitra Sherman and group is fabulous. The recording is excellent.
Some of the listeners have shared their appreciation:
“Celestial Nectar-5 is simply delectable to the ears and effortlessly mesmerizes the soul. I get to listen to it at home, on the road and at work.” - Ashok B. Chairman, KG Institute of Technology, Coimbatore
“It was a very pleasant experience for me to hear the new CD -Thenamutham-5. This is a masterpiece I would say. I enjoyed each and every minute of listening to the music. Each song flows one after another graciously like a cool breeze in a hot summer day. It made me to hum in the beginning, and then I was singing along and dancing at the end. The voice is so soothing and shiva thandavam took me into meditative state. In short, I will say listening
to Thaen amudham is like seeing a Rainbow. It has got all the colours and flavours.” - Sabari R Kandasamy, IBM, Bangalore
“Iam an Engineer in Erode District. I was hooked on to the Tamil bhajans composed and rendered by Shri. Arunji for some years now. I am a lead singer of an orchestra and we do several concerts every month. In our last concert I sang a piece from Arunji’s just released album Thaen Amudham 5 and the reception from the audience was overwhelming. I felt truly blessed and at once called Shri. Arunji to convey my heartfelt feeling on the excellent team work including the duet with Smt. Shobha Chandrasekhar. This album deserves to reach out to thousands beyond the AOL family because each number has turned out a winner and as the expression goes in Tamil the whole experience is ‘janaranchakam’” - Ravikumar, Gobichettypalayam
“Your CD titled "Thaenamudham" was a real thaen, nectar for the Rasikas. With depth, you have used Divinity and sublimity, raising one from the mundane to a spiritual level of Bliss. Your enchanting voice, interesting mode of presentation together with your profound wisdom are the God given gifts.
The selected "sooladis" for each song are superb. Preparing you with rapt attention for what is in store to tickle your emotion to sore high.
"Ongi Ulagalantha" and "Shankara Chandrasekhara" are the perfect setting for goshti gaanam; "Deenadhayal Prabhu" and "Narayana Namo" are in class by themselves; "Buddham Sharanam" and Sree Rama Jaya Rama" – at which one is immersed in Bhakthi Rasa. Oh! Vishamakkara Kannan – at which you are next only to Gopis,
Rhythm and melody are the two facets of music that you have brought out excellently well, inspiring the listeners in the path of Bhakti.” - DR.J.K.K.Munirajahh
Chairman, JKK Group of Institutions, Kumarapalayam, T.N
Shri.Arunji has been raising bhajan singing from the level of a classical concert to a still higher musical genre through his “Thaen Amudham” series of Bhajan Albums. He has captured the attention of the new generation of listeners who were estranged by the rigidity of the classical approach. In his endeavor to bring exposure of Bhajan singing to the Tamil speaking populace Shri. Arunji has been successful in bringing an involvement in the listeners and with the blessings of Pujya Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, he has been able to bring a spiritual upsurge in Tamilnadu in his own humble ways. This is not an album that is heard once or twice and stored away. It caters to what people are looking for in terms of soothing melody and lyrics that sustains their eagerness for repeat listening, very importantly beyond any barrier of language.
