Liner Notes

  • Simple and spontaneous, Ambujam Krishna's compositions, all devotional, are straight from the heart. Ambujam Krishna, meritorious lyricist of recent times, was blessed with a fulfilling life from the day she was born on May 21, 1917 till she passed away on October 21, 1989.

    Married to her cousin, T. S. Krishna, son of pioneer industrialist T. V. Sundaram Iyengar, Ambujam had the privilege and conducive environment to understand and appreciate traditional values, art, culture and the quintessence of bhakti.

    In August 1951, after a visit to the samadhi of Tyagaraja at Tiruvaiyaru, Ambujam became emotionally charged and was inspired to compose devotional hymns on the deities of the Hindu pantheon. Her kritis in various languages such as Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Sanskrit, Hindi and Manipravalam are spontaneous, emotive expressions of total surrender to the Godhead.

    Ambujam's creations have a wide range in the forms of opera, kummi, oonjal, kilikanni, thalattu, and the lyrical substance in pada varnams. Her humility has never permitted her to claim authorship of her songs. Ambujam maintained that her songs were solely the result of divine benediction and it was not due to her composing prowess.
