Abishek Raghuram-Vagadeeswari--Navarathri Nadha-SankaraTV 

Akkarai and Abhishek. Its like balamurali and lalgudi together. Ma Saraswati would you make cry even in happiness thru them? Ayyo ayyo tears flowing

You just made me fall in love with the South Indian culture! All the way more. Thank you.

I'm already running out of adjectives for Shri "Abhishek Raghuram", despite listening to him at length only for the past few days. His alapanas make me cry spontaneously and RTPs make me both laugh and cry simultaneously.😂 That this happens despite me being a music illiterate says/shows something about his prowess. 👌 There's nary a doubt he clearly belongs to the once-in-a-lifetime / century category of music jambawans (stalwarts) and rasikhas are simply blessed to be alive during his time, getting drenched in a kind of music that isn't of this plane of existence.😌 May be the Lord has decided to offer us mere mortals a glimpse of how music is rendered in his lokha, through this precious musician.🙌 Shambho!🙏

Whenever I get stressed, I keep listening Abhishek's cencert.. really takes me out of stress and I will get fully charged !!! THANKS A MILLION TO GOD for providing with such an opportunity..

Abhiskek Raguram is a class apart! We run out of words to describe this musical genius Thanks a million, Abhishek for giving us so much of joy through your extraordinary music. Cheers and god bless all your endeavours. .

Wish I am that thatha… always smiling and more importantly sitting besides Abhishek, enjoying the serene flow of Vagadeeshwari !! 😂

My favorite raga forever.... It's just fantastic... I loved it....

Whenever I need peace I go to listen this song.I appreciate his beautiful singing of my favourite raaga.Dhanyosmi.

He is able to visit untouched corners of the raga houses.

Aha aha. What divinity

mesmerising . what a song. what a rendition. divinelyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

This is the first song on youtube through which I came to know about Abhishek anna, 7 years back and was completely mesmerized through his music! Memories and the song still remain fresh!! Feeling blessed to be able to listen to such an amazing masterpiece delivered by the artists!! May the art and the artists live long!!! :)

What a beautiful rendition! From the comments, it encourages and prompts healthy discussion among the listened A welcome sign

sir Abishek Raghuram-Vagadeeswari great music thanks namaskaram

What a Melodious voice of Mr.Abishek ? Thanks again for your perusal.Super performance. Thanks also.Excellent rendition.Funtabulous.Amazing voice. Thanks alot S.MadhavaRao.PALAMANERY.

hari1093 you are right initially it sounded like ahirbhairav.One has to admit this guy's brilliance in handling ragas.to me his style of singing and handling rags like Balamurali Sir in his hey days.no doubt he is influenced by Balamurali style of singing.great effort.brilliantly sung.not heard a vagadheeswari like this in recent times.

The echo in the background adds to the divinity of the moment!! :)

tamil keerthanai loved it very nice raga rendition thanks

I totally agree with this comment that any raga if it is sung without the emphasis on the jiva swaras and vivadhi swaras (here ) it sounds like a different raga, The main focus of the singer should not only the fast prayogas but should bring out the chaya of that particular raga. I have noticed that ragas like Todi if sung in this style it looses its "Ghathram" and dignity....he is a great singer ...without any doubt..

Super performance by Mr.Abishek RaguRam in the morning. Thanks again for your perusal.Congrats. Excellent and Marvel.Funtastic Rendition.Brilliant effects. Thanks again.Amazing voice. Thanks alot. S.Madhavan.PALAMANERY.

The raga vagadeeshwari in violin is simply amazing..... Loved it a lot

listening umpteen number of times,thrilled with the great rendering!!!!!God bless you!!!!!!

What a gift! what a talent!

Bavapriya,raga,super,your, singing,in, heart fully, enjoyed,music, performance

I am not very familiar with the intricacies of this Raga but the way in which it was presented attracted me very much especially when the composition is on Bhagavan Ramana maharshi.

No one can come close to Abhishek's singing! Sheer beauty!!

Ch trimurthulu ch wanted meaning of the song...here it goes..Pallavi Saranagathi Un Para Nan Inippugathunaithan Yedu Nee Pugalai — (Saranagathi) Anupallavi Smaranath Gathi Phala Arunachala Nirai Ramana. . . Karuna. . . Varuna (Saranagathi) Saranam Tharunam Idu Vanro Karunai Nokkave Kalaharanam Aakkidil Haa Haa En Seiven Thunbai Neekki Inbai Alikka En Anba Innam Paramukham Ennal Thaladayya Sri Vediya (Saranagathi) TRANSLATION OF THE SARANAGATHI SONG INTO ENGLISH Pallavi I surrender — unto you Where else am I to surrender myself tell me (I surrender) Anupallavi Who is perfect in Arunachala Which endows one with ultimate Release O Ramana, Raincloud of Compassion! (I surrender) Saranam Is this not the appropriate time For granting me your glance of Grace? If you delay, Lo! What am I to do? My beloved, remove my sorrow and grant me Bliss I can’t bear indifference any further, O Vediya (One who is Brahman Itself) (I surrender myself unto you)

madam akkari subbalaxmi viloin & murdhangam very good

too. good

...and now too God bless you all

super

I am a huge fan of Abhishek. However, I have to agree with Hari1093 on how Abhishek has handled VAgadEshwari - particularly the Shatsruthi Rishabham which should be a Dheerga swaram during delineation. Particularly, during fast phrases, he should emphasize the VivAdhi note with due care. No knock on his talent or Manodharma. He is a great artist. But, this RAgam should be handled differently.

Lyrics composed by Manavasi V. Ramaswamy Iyer in 1914) Pallavi Saranagathi Un Para Nan Inippugathunaithan Yedu Nee Pugalai (Saranagathi) Anupallavi Smaranath Gathi Pala Arunachala Nirai Ramana. . . Karuna. . . Varuna.. Sri Ramana (Saranagathi) Saranam Tharunam Idu andro (un) Karunai Nokkave Kalaharanam Aagidil Haa Haa (Haa) En Seiven Thunbai Neekki Inbai Alikka En AnbaI Innam Paramukham Ennal Thaladayya....Sri Vediya Innam Paramukham Ennal Thaladayya....Sri Ramana (Saranagathi)

great . thoroughly enjoyed

@1:19 - to :21 sounded exactly like para ma thmu du . That is the Aarohanam. beginging.

Music legend

The raga Vaagadheeshwari is a 'sampoorna raaga' - meaning all the seven notes appear in its arohana (ascent) and avavohana (descent) as srgmpdn - which differs from Chakravaakam raaga only in RI. Vaagadheeshwari is a Vivaadi (or roughly, discordant sounding) Raaga due to the use of BOTH Gs (flat and sharp G), whereas Chakravaakam contains the "regular" srgmpdn notes. The discordance sounds weirdly pleasant to the ears, especially in the rendering in this clip.

Thank you sir.

can any body explain the meaning of this keerthana.., pls.

nothing to say abot this...greattt

Absolutely brilliant! He owns Vaagadheeshwari (see more recent recordings on RU-vid). Abhishek is one of our most extraordinary talents, but I do wish that other budding singers just focus on a few outstanding creations of theirs, as opposed to a vast mediocre repertoire (tiresome).

I am nobody to comment on His talent and knowledge... But I disagree with the way he starts Vagadheeswari here... The opening phrase without showing the shatsruthi Rishabham resembles Ahirbhairav or some raga in that family.. I believe that the unique flavour of the raga one intends to sing should come in the opening phrase itself. In general, I disagree with the way he treats this raga, at many instances, in this video It just my opinion, not a personal attack :) I admire him for his incredible voice and talent, and of course I am a big devotee of his grandfather Sri Palghat Raghu sir :)

Swathi Thirunal ✨

wow

🔥🔥🔥

Musician from the Gandharva loka!

Let us not get sunk in technicalities & Maths. He has sung it beautifully. Just enjoy

Never Rao excellent

Onnu chumma iri Anna! Reminded of BMK comments and all I don't understand!.

Saranagathi Ramana Karuna Varuna Shri Ramana Charanam : Tarunam Idhu Anro - Un ...

Aaaha

How about uploading the entire Kutcheri ? Moni

..is ..Vagadeeswari and Bhagesri are one and the same . ,can any body post ,please.

This young man's talent is sheer genius. The only other living musician who could come close to Abhishek Raghuram is Kunnakudi Balamuralikrishna. The abilities of these two lie not just in their incredible grasp of the ragam but also in their infallible mastery of tala! Watch another video of these musicians and you'll be awestruck by their talent! Among the old generation, only U Srinivas and TS Kakyanaraman would be on par with him.

Atthivaradhar

I find the excessive use of gamakas is indeed karnaranjakam. Nothing wrong in it. He has developed his own super style. Pl do not criticise just for the sake of your comments.

Carnatic music is undergoing a vast change in rendition. I have heard Yesudas rendering this Raaga in Tamil Isai Sangarm sometime in late 60's or early 70's.There he sang this Raaga for more than an hour or so. His style was different and his rendering was great. But we cannot underestimate Abhishekh. This young lad has rendered the Ragaa in a fantastic way and perhaps what hari 1093 commented was right. But this does not spoil the rendition as Abhishekh brought out the best of Vagadeswari in his rendition

What Raag is this song?

Music lost vagatheeswari Jeevan
