AGATHIYAR GEETHAM



A word from the producer Gowri Arumugam of Raagawave Production

This music video was pending for 2 years, to complete the balance shoot. It never took place for a few reasons. Everything became possible on 26th March when all the devotees agreed to shoot from home during the pandemic period. It was very challenging to shoot using our mobile phones, without a tripod, no proper lighting and without filming background for some. A lot of miracles took place and yes I am glad to finally release it. This wouldn't have been possible without Agathiyar Appa,  my uncle Shanmugam Avadaiyappa, Vinesmaran Sivalingam, Kannan Rajamanickam, and the entire Agathiyar family Thank you for believing in me. Aum Agatheesaya Nama.

When Gowri Arumugam went to Kallar Ashram she was initiated to produce an audio album for Agathiyar. Upon returning to Malaysia, she set working on the project. She collaborated with music director Jey Raggaveindra and set out to India with the first tune for the first track of the album. She sat with Tavayogi Thangarasan Adigal and penned the lyrics for the song Karunai Vizhiyaal. Soon the duo of singer/ producer and the music director composed the other tunes for the remaining tracks too. We gathered at AVM and penned the lyrics for the remaining songs each time we received a new tune. Rather than claim that we wrote the lyrics, Gowri, Mahin, Bala, and I agreed that we were mere tools in the hands of the Maha Muni. We identified the singers: Vinod Kumar, Vinthamaray, Jegan, Dr. Jana besides Jey Raggaveindra and Gowri Arumugam taking the lead and gathered them at the studio for the next stage of production. After a preliminary round of identifying the voice type and their vocal range, and with a little bit of coaching the team gave their best performance. With the mastering and audio post-production done we went into duplicating and producing the CDs locally. It was a first-time affair for all of us except Gowri Arumugam who is a professional singer and the music director Jey Raggaveindra who has many singles and albums to his credit. A date was set for the launch in a grand way and the CDs were picked up quickly at the event. We then began distributing it both locally and in India. 

Agathiyar showed us another facet of devotion through mooting the idea to produce an album and see it through the end. We have come to believe that if he sets his mind on something he sees it through.
