padaiththAnE brahma dEvan....The GREAT SPB-yai



Dear SPB Fans,

The presentation for the day is of a song very close to our SPB’s heart when it comes to his association with the Music Director V.Kumar, a great composer in the late 60s & 70s.

Song : padaiththAnE brahma dEvan….
Film : ellOrum nallavarE (1975)
Music : V.Kumar
Singer : SPB
Lyrics : Pulavar Pulamaipithan
Actors : Muthuraman, Lokesh, Manjula, Jayanthi and Major Sundararajan


I had seen this song in the film in the year of its release and heard it a few times after that but not often. A few years back, there was a singing contest "Raja Geetham" (further episodes of this program is still going on Sundays at 12:00noon) conducted by RAJ TV and anchored by Abdul Hameed of Radio Ceylon fame After the preliminaries, the quarters & the semis, was the finals. Eminent persons were invited to judge the contestants. Our SPB was one of the judges. Having him as the judge and not making him sing a few songs would have been a sin and luckily RAJ TV did not commit one. The finals started off with a few opening songs by our SPB. I remember the program quite well. He sang one song each of the music directors who were close to his heart. I remember him singing “rAganagal padhinAru…” of MSV’s composition and then I remember this song in discussion “padaithanE brahma dEvan…” of V.Kumar’s composition. He had a few good words for Kumar’s composition and he mentioned about this song when he discussed about him and said it was close to his heart in terms of its composition beauty and then sang it too. It was a heavenly experience to listen to his singing. Now, recently when I came into contact with this song again, on the NET, I was reminded of that event and thought I should present this song with the incident.

My own recollection of the song in the film is that “Muthuraman & Manjula are newly married and they are in a decorated room on their first night together. And Muthuraman presents his thoughts about her in the form of this song”.

The lyrics too, bring out the attributes of the lady, in terms of describing her beauty and the delightful havoc it is creating in the Man, she had married.

Kumar is a very wonderful music director. Very few of present generation know about him.
I like all the songs composed by V.Kumar particularly "Velli Vizha".
