Hindustani Vocal by Venkatesh Kumar Live at the 8th Annual Music Festival - Sadhguru Thyagaraja Sangeetham, of the Bharatiya Samagana Sabha February 2017, Chowdiah Memorial Hall, Bengaluru Documented by Shaale Live www.shaale.com
Truly singers like Venkatesh Kumar are bhakta at heart. See how well he encourages everyone accompanying him, to join in the praise of Lord. This is what Puranadaradada himself showed singing in the streets going from village to village encouraging everyone to join. Blessed are those like him who are so gifted, yet humbled by the song.
Highly melodious voice and exceptional performance towards Bhakti. I get tears in my eyes while hearing the Devaranama. It takes me in front of the Purandara Vittala. I am fan of you dear Venkatesh Kumar. 👍👍

Very unfortunate, more than 50% of the auditorium is empty. People are not interested in hearing such good music. Hats off to the singer for giving such good performance inspite of poor audience.
Aha, blissful music! Panditji's purity of swara, clarity of sahithya, Incomparable sangeetha, full of rasa, bhaava, bhakti and the wonderful accompaniments of Pt. Ravindra Yavagal on Tabla and Pt. Vyasamurthy Katti on Harmonium - and the divine Daasara Pada's (Purandaropanishat) - this is the very best of our music.. Pranams.
After looooong time.. Searching who is Next to Pundit Bhimsen joshi ji, this Legendary artist is filled with same deep rasa towards Ragas. We are fortunate to be contemporary of these Legends.
Extremely pleasant to hear pandit venkatesh kumar placing so Much emphasis on lyrics purity and enunciation without over elaboration on the notes. The north karnataka accent accentuates the bhakti rasa of the bhajans.
I am a great fan of Pandit Venkatesh Kumar. Listening to him almost every day. Soothing music. Thanks to You Tube to enable us to get such wonderful music.
Thank God for Pandit Venkatesh Kumar. Most of the Carnatic musicians especially from TN murder Purandara dasa compositions, with least attention given to pronunciations, Bhakti or meanings. They are more concerned with gamaka. Thank you Panditji for saving dasa sahitya.
This is so so soothing! I am down with covid, and spent an hour listening to this. Felt just so great. Thank you so much Panditji and your accompanying artistes. Though I didn't understand the language, the feelings touched my heart.
