Isai Vazhipatu is the rendering of Thiruppukazh and other songs of Sri.Arunagirinathar in the lines of Sri.A.S.Raghavan Guruji and followed by his disciples under the banner of Thiruppukazh Anbargal.
About hundred years before Thiruppukazh chanting was systematized and popularized by Sri. Vallimalai Svamikal. Although swamikal's disciplic succession still engage in Thiruppukazh singing, the authenticity of the rendering as a musical tradition got lost in time and also due to discord of the different disciple groups of svamikal. Sri. Guruji was solely inspired by Senthil Andavan (presiding deity of Thiruchendur Temple) to set to tunes the songs of Arunagirinathar. He started teaching the songs to the like minded friends and unconsciously he became the epicenter of the global spiritual movement Thiruppukazh Anbargal. He with his example revived, renewed and revamped the interest in the Holy songs and devotion to Lord Muruga through its soulful rendering.
