Tyagarajar died in 1847 and is buried at the banks of river Kaveri (Cauvery) at Thiruvaiyaru in Tamil Nadu. The special cover issued in 2017 by South India Philatelists’ Association (SIPA) commemorates 250 years of Tyagarajar. Tyagaraja was born in 1767 at Tiruvarur in Tamil Nadu. Since, it was found that the music helps to increase the children’s memory, they play Mozart’s music on a daily basis. In a school in Australia, they play Mozart music for the students before teaching. To a different question, he says about a research, which indicates that among the world musicians, it is only Mozart’s music that activates the human brain cells more. Ilaiyaraaja says that writing a musical score including all the parts after listening to it just once is almost impossible. It seems that Mozart’s father almost cried after seeing his musical score. He visits the church next day to make any corrections in his score for that music, if any. On the same night, Mozart, who heard that music only once at the church, was able to write the complete score for that music. There was a music being played at the church at that time and Mozart mentally took note of it. He gets a prize from the pope for his musical skills. Mozart goes to Paris with his father to play before a pope. He mentions the incident that happened when Mozart was 11. However, he says there is no one like Mozart. To a question about who is the most talented among the world musicians, Ilaiyaraaja says that in general all famous musical geniuses are different. I never thought that such a great king who ruled south Asia would have had such a tragic end. He wondered what remedy was done for this as darshans are held these days in the temple. For a long time, no darshans were performed in the temple after the king’s death. He also mentions that lot of government officers and well known people who have visited the temple have lost their jobs. Ilaiyaraaja mentions that there is proof of this information in the Chennai Connemara Library. Before passing away, he seemed to have cursed the king that whoever visits this temple will lose their jobs.Ī month later, unable to cope with Karuvurar’s curse, the king went to the top of the temple and jumped to his death. He dig a burial hole near the temple, sat in it, and gave his life.

This angered Karuvurar so much that he decided to give away his life immediately. To satisfy his ministers and palace astrologers, the king followed only half of the Karuvurar’s instructions. However, the king did not completely follow the instructions given for the temple’s consecration (kumbhabhishekam). Ilaiyaraaja mentions that the great king Raja Raja Cholan constructed the Big Temple at Tanjavur based on the guidelines from Siddhar Karuvurar. One of the readers asked about Siddhar Karuvurar. I am sharing few of those here along with related stamps from my personal collection. The two books contained some interesting facts.
