Raksha Pettare / Bhairavi / Adi / Thyagaraja / D K Jayaraman

Krithi: Raksha Bettare Ragam: Bhairavi Thalam: Adi Composer: Thyagaraja Vocal: D K Jayaraman Damal Krishnaswamy Jayaraman (22 July 1928 – 25 January 1991), widely known as D. K. Jayaraman or DKJ, was a distinguished Carnatic vocalist from Kanchipuram, Tamil Nadu. The younger brother and foremost disciple of the legendary D. K. Pattammal, DKJ carved out a place of his own in the Carnatic music world. He was celebrated for his soulful renditions, impeccable diction, and deep devotion to classical tradition. Born into a musically inclined and orthodox family, DKJ’s earliest musical exposure came through his sister, D. K. Pattammal. He began accompanying her in concerts at the tender age of seven, earning the affectionate title Isai Thambi (“younger brother of music”) from the great T. N. Rajarathinam Pillai. When the family relocated to Madras in the late 1930s to support Pattammal's burgeoning career, DKJ immersed himself in the vibrant Carnatic music environment of the city. He received rigorous training from several stalwarts of the tradition, including Ariyakudi Ramanuja Iyengar, Madurai Mani Iyer, Harikesanallur Muthiah Bhagavatar, and most profoundly, Papanasam Sivan who regarded DKJ as a son. DKJ’s solo career began to flourish in the late 1960s, buoyed by the encouragement of mridangam maestro Palghat T. S. Mani Iyer. By the 1980s, he had become a leading figure in Carnatic music. His performances were marked by deep bhakti (devotion), clarity in lyrical expression, and a passion for reviving rare and challenging ragas. A devoted and respected teacher, DKJ trained many prominent disciples who have carried forward his musical legacy. Among them are Vijay Siva, R. K. Shriramkumar, Balaji Shankar, and his daughter, Sukanya Jayaraman. His son, J. Vaidhyanathan, has also earned distinction as a mridangam artist. DKJ was widely admired for his humility and progressive mindset. At a time when it was uncommon, he encouraged and supported the inclusion of female accompanists in concerts. What could have continued as a long and illustrious career was tragically cut short. In December 1990, DKJ was awarded the prestigious Sangita Kalanidhi by the Madras Music Academy, one of the highest honors in Carnatic music. Heartbreakingly, he passed away just a month later, on 25 January 1991, leaving the music fraternity in deep mourning. His legacy endures through his recordings, the reverence of his students, and the lasting impression he left on Carnatic music. Co-Artists: Details not available In this song, Thyagaraja Swamy lovingly invites everyone to apply the auspicious protective mark (Rakṣha) to Lord Rama, whom he addresses as Doraku (the accessible, gracious one). He calls the Lord the beloved of Lakṣhmi who shines on his chest, the consort of Sitha, and the one deeply cherished by Hanuman, the son of the wind God. He remembers Rama’s mighty arms raised to protect Indra and the other gods, and finally praises him as the Lord who delights in music and listens to Thyagaraja’s own songs. By urging the act of applying the protective mark, Thyagaraja symbolically expresses both adoration and the wish for the Lord’s perpetual well-being and prosperity. Pallavi Raksa pettare doraku Anupallavi Vakshastalamu pai velayu lakshmi ramanuniki Charanam Sitha karamuni bathi cheligina doraku vatatmajuniki ceyi vashamaina doraku puru-hutadula raksimpa bahu judaina doraku sangItapriya tyagaraja geyudaina dorakeshvarya ---------------------------------------------------------------- Meaning: Let’s apply auspicious mark to ward off evil (raksha) to the Lord.

To the Lord who shines as consort (literally holding hand in marriage) of Sitha, to the Lord who is in the control of Anjaneya – mind-born (Atmaja) of Wind God , To the Lord who became a king in order to protect indra and others , To the Lord who is fond of music and who is sung about by this Thyagaraja, let’s apply auspicious mark for His prosperity to ward off evil. ------------------------------------------------------------------ DISCLAIMER : These songs have been uploaded for hearing pleasure only and as an archive for Carnatic music.
