I remember a live concert of Sri TK Rangachari in Bangalore when as usual people started walking out during Taniavartanam he admonished and schooled the audience telling it's not a interval and the audience spontaneously responded Now the culture has changed Thanks to him
నన్ను పాలింప నడచి వచ్చితివో... నా ప్రాణ నాథ To protect me you came walking o Lord of my life. One story goes that Tyagaraja composed this when his daughter was getting married. Whether Tyagaraja actually had a vision of Rama or it is just a song, or he was overcome by bhakti and so came out with this song....

மனசு உருகிப் போறது. கண்ணீர் வழிஞ்சிட்டே இருக்கு. அதுல ஒரு ஏக்கம்...அது சின்ன வயசுக் கனவு...நிறைவேறாமல் போனது. வறுமை காரணமாய். அடுத்த ஜென்மத்திலாவது கைகூடாதா...பார்ப்போம்...
Really enjoying this series. The respect and admiration that Sri Sanjay Subramanyam shows for the musicians of yesteryears is great and the contemporary musician who has been in the news recently can learn a thing or two from this series. Keep it going strong Sanjay Mama! 🙏🙌👍
MBK Sir was a very rare artist - by his teenage years he had composed in all 72 Melakarta Ragas; he was a phenomenal vocalist; he played concert level viola instrument; he even played Mrudangam. 🙏
ஒரு முறை சேலம்.G N தேசிகன் சொல்லியது. ஶ்ரீ கிருஷ்ணன் வாசிப்பு உச்சி வெயில் போன்றது என்றார். நான் என்ன சார் அவர் வாசிப்பு ரொம்ப சவுக்யம் என்று பலர் சொல்லி இருக்கிறார்கள். நீங்கள் இப்படி சொல்கிறீர்களே என்றேன். அவர் சொன்ன பதில் என்னை ஆச்சரியப் படுத்தியது. உச்சி வெயிலில் நிழல் முன்னமும் தெரியாது, பின்னாலும் தெரியாது. அந்த பொருளுக்குள் மறைந்து விடும். கிருஷ்ணன் வாசிப்பும் அந்த நிழல் மாதிரி. பாட்டுடன் ஒன்றர கலந்து விடும். பாடுபவருடன் ஒன்றாக உச்சி வெயில் நிழல் போல இணைந்து வாசிப்பார். என்ன ஒரு அழகான விளக்கம்.
Dear Mr Sanjay Subramanian, eventhough I have not understand the sahitya of carnatic music I love watching it. Almost everyday I love watching these videos of yours. I can't describe the joy it gives me throughout the day. My sincere thanks Mr Sanjay Subramanian.
1. Is Kalyani and Mechakalyaṇi the same? If same why different names, if different- whatythe difference?- Kalyani and Mechakalyani are the same raga, it’s just that in South Indian classical music it’s called Mechakalyani however in North indian classical music it’s is referred to Kalyani. When sung the ragas sound the same but the names are different because of the different regions. 2. What chakra does Kalyani come in? Can you name other ragas which has the same purvAnga(first half)?- Kalyani is in the eighth chakra which is the Vasu Chakra and the 65 melakarta raga. One raga that I know which has the first half is Sarasangi. 3. List five 2 kalai compositions in this raga after listening to them- Vasudevayani by Sri Tyagaraja Muthuswamy, And Amma Ravamma, also by Sri Tyagaraja Muthuswamy. 4. What are some of the famous janya ragas of Kalyani?-Hamsanandhi, Sarasanga, and YamunaKalyani.
