Is Pirating Thiruvasakam wrong

Ilayaraja has come up with a great album Thiruvasakam in Symphony. It's been a great hype in the industry. There are various people who have come up with different comments. Sujatha's introduction is noteworthy. Sujatha also asks that this album may not be downloaded as MP3. Do these people want to own even the spiritual texts, make money out of our glorious tradition. I feel this album should be universal, It should be for the masses, rather than selling it for money. This kind of spiritual albums should defenitely be made by people, In that Ilayaraja has done a great help to the society by creating this album. Definitely Ilayaraja would get more fame, more money, greater heaven ... can it be sold for making mere money.

Any art makes complete meaning only when dedicated to GOD. This should be done without expecting anything in return. A sacrifice to the greater society, to please GOD, for the glory of GOD.

Military, think of all the time and money he has put in for it. Also these mp3 download sites earn a lot because of these songs, so y not illayaraja

I have heard rave reviews everywhere about Thiruvasagam. However, I am yet to listen to it!

True.
I always used to say, if these guys got money for Tiruvasagam CD, they shud pay royalty to Manivasagar.
Poor guys he was truly divine, made his works public, rather than putting copyright on it.

The total cost of this project amounted to Rs. 110 lakhs. Of this, Rs. 35 lakhs was from donations and the remaining Rs.75 lakhs was borrowed from individuals and banks.

IR could have signed an agreement with SONY or any other company. But he didn't want to commercialize his divine work.

Its Music for God by God of music..

try to buy a cd / a casette and contribute towards this project..

i would like to emphasize that I'm not at all cricticizing Ilayaraja (He's my hero). I'm just hoping the producers do not get attached to money and sell this wonderfully spiritual Thiruvasakam. The best thing they can do is make it reachable to the largest mass possible.

Sathyus, Badri and Senthil

Involving Business out of this kind of Spiritual stuff is bad. Thats my opinion.

Thiruvasakam survived because Manickavasagar did it with utmost devotion and reverence towards the society (That all people should be enlightened by his thoughts)

@ Badri

Ilayaraja is great in creating such an album.

I'm yet to hear the songs ... hopefully I'll buy the CDs next week.

ஹூம் , முன்பு இம்மாதிரியான பொது காரியங்களுக்கு நிதி அளிக்க சில பெரிய மனிதர்கள் இருந்தனர், ஆனால் இப்பொழுது, என் கைக்காசை போட்டு நான் ஏன் பலன் அடையக்கூடாது என எல்லோரும் நினைச்சுட்டாங்க போல.. (இளையரஜாவை சொல்லல, ஏனென்றால் சிறிய தொகை என்றால் சொல்லலாம், பெரிய தொகையாச்சே)

மாணிக்கவாசகரின் பாடல்களை ரசிக்கும் மக்கள், ஏன் பாரதியார் பாடல் தொகுப்பை கண்டுகொள்ளவில்லை ???

இங்க கொஞ்சம் பாருங்க..
