“Meenakshi Memudam” an immortal piece composed by the legendary Muthuswami Dikshitar youngest of the musical trinity, describing the alluring beauty, warmth and compassion in goddess Meenakshi’s fish shaped eyes.
He sings the praises of the one who resides in Madurai, the city that never sleeps , the one who offers salvation to those who seek her blessings.
It is said that when Dikshitar felt his end was nearing. After yogic practices, he performed the Navavarna नवावर्ण offering to the Goddess. After the rites, Dikshithar asked his disciples to sing kritis on Devi. They began singing “Meenakshi Me Mudam Dehi” in Raga Gamakakriya. While they were singing the Sahitya of the Anupallavi “Meena Lochani Pasha Mochani”, the great composer breathed his last.
