AMBHUJAM KRISHNA - LYRICIST.....................................(d.October 20, 1989) Ambhujam Krishna, a Home Science Graduate of Delhi University came into the renowned TVS family of Mdurai-Madras on her marraige with the dintinguished industrialist T.S.Krishna. Daughter of Madurai Ranga Ayyangar, she had her training in music under Karaikudi Ganesan and Mudurai Ganesa Bhagavathar. A staunch devotee of God and an ardent lover of arts, she took to composing in Sanskrit, Telugu, Tamil, Hindi and Manipravalam (macaronic).
The compositions are noted for fragrance of imagination, chaste language, clarity of thought and spontaneity. Her lyrics are brought out in four volumes of 'Geethamala'. Her colossal output was not the result of planned exercise but were outpourings of a genius blessed with a mind that was sharp and an imagination that liaised with the best and the noble.
