O Rangasayee - Kambhoji (18m 20s) Vandinam Muralum Solai - Thodi (5m 50s) This was recorded by me from a special telecast on March 25, 1987, on the occasion of the samprokshanam of the rajagopuram of Srirangam temple.
On behalf of all Generation we are very grateful and indebted to those who recorded these great gems for ever. Lord Ranganatha shower all His blessings to them and to their families.
అమ్మా! సుబ్బులక్ష్మి గారూ సాక్షాత్తూ శ్రీ సరస్వతీ స్వరూపం అమ్మా మీరు. భూమి ఉన్నంత కాలం మీరు చిరంజీవి గా ఉంటారు. మీ సంగీతం మిమ్మల్ని అమరుల్ని చేసంది. అందించిన రంగనాధన్ గారికి వందనాలు🙏
MS AMMA was genius, prodigy what not. She is a natural musician. Mere hard work had no place in her Bhakthi Sangeetham, which is taking her not only to eternal bliss but also to her listeners of all genre in this terrestrial world.
How lucky are those 6 people on stage to not only sit with her and witness such greatness but also perform with her...that'd be one the biggest achievements in life....they can proudly add in their résumé "Performed with MS Amma"
பகவானில் முழுநம்பிக்கை வைத்து காலையில் கேட்க கவலை தீரும் !மாலையில் கேட்க மயக்கம் போகும்! முதுமையில் இதுவே முழு வேலை ! பகவானே ! எனக்குள் நீ இருக்கும்வரை எனக்கு ஏது துன்பம் ! தொடர்ந்து இருப்பாய் ! வரும் இடர்கள் தீர்ப்பாய் ! ஓம் ஶ்ரீ சாய் ராம் ! சாய்பிரியன்
For the construction of this tallest Temple tower of Asia, MS AMMA performed charity music concert in Mumbai and the proceeds had gone to the construction of one Tier of this edifice at Srirangam in early 1980s. She and her husband Sri T. Sadasivam are philanthrapists to the core.
what we are missing a ragam thanam pallavi..what a fantastic kamboji presentation...we should have had this for 1 hr 20 minutes instead !!!! subhan allah !!! cannot get any better//
MS AMMA at her 71 years singing seamlessly both upper and lower notes. Full of Bhakthi bhava ultimate surrender to Long Ranaganatha. Hearty Thanks to Prof sir.
8 years later from this concert, I was blessed beyond rights to have her sing O Rangasayee at my wedding (one of my requests) with an elaborate 40 minute alapana preceding and the famous neraval and swarams - so spectacularly that even her guru Semmangudi Mama in attendance was beyond words that day. When she sang "bhooloka vaikuntam" all else was forgotten. She had to manage in those days without the great support of her dear Radha next to her due to health. But always more remarkable than Mami's music was her character, she was everything that you might read about her and more: humility personified, pure in in her intentions, spiritual in the most important ways, kind to all, and charity personified to those less fortunate. To write this is bringing tears to my eyes. I was not worthy of the honor in any way but at least I can share the truth about the legend for posterity...
Thank you Ranga sir. Kamboji is a ragam with a huge spectrum and scope. Amma, as always nailed it, at a age of 71, not sure if any of us would even be able to talk sweetly at that age. MS Amma is great!
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 God is great, and His creations of gems like MS Amma & team. We too are blessed to hear such divinity & perfection🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏💐🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I am a Maharashtrian Brahmin, the atire and styles of the two ladies reminds me of my childhood when my grandparents were still alive and lived a very traditional lifestyle. Pains my heart to realise how much we have lost.
எம்.எஸ்.எஸ் அம்மா ஓர் ஒளியூட்டும் இசைத் தாரகை !அருந்ததி நட்சத்திரத்- திரந்திற்கு அருகாமையில் ஒளிரும் பண்ணிசைக்காய் அமைந்துள்ள விண்தாரகை ! என்றும் ஒளிகூட்டி இன்னொலி ஊட்டும் இன்னிசைத் தாரகை ! என்றும் நாம் பேசும் போது எம் நாவல் தவழ எம் பாபா அருள் புரிவராக ! ஓம் ஶ்ரீ சாய் ராம் ! சாய்பிரியன்
The stage/platform wherever it may, Smt.MS will steal the performance! What an authoratative composure, balance of voice! Devotion & Concentration is her strength! I love whatever Keerthana she renders! Heavenly Peace & Joy on Earth while one listens!! Vemuru SathyaNarayanan TIRUCHANUR, TIRUPATI
After protracted search, at last succeeded and got it. This sankeertana has touched my heart when heard on tape long long ago. Beautiful composition by Sri Tyagaraja Swami.
The grand temples of India, right from the majestic ones of tamil nadu to the paintings of ajanta are adorned with images which radiate a serene smile on the lips, an otherworldly bliss in the eyes . Ms Amma's face is a relic from that age! She is a bridge between our past and us! She is a shining example of what a product of our heritage looks like!
Divine music. I'm mesmerized to see that beautiful smile on her face. She is not an ordinary woman. She is definitely born with divine power. Even though I'm much younger to her but I could have had a darshan of her in 1980 s. I could have had a chance to touch her feet. But I was not that lucky. Thanks to the internet, at least I'm hearing her every day.
People with help from NRIs must construct a gigantic auditorium at Chennai and other places in a vast area and play Carnatic and other music every day during morning hrs. 5am to 8 am and evening 7pm to 10 pm.
Greetings of the day. All the listeners plz notice the bhakthi rasa in MS ammas eyes and movements. Nowadays every one miss this bhakthi rasa and shows the knowledge to audience. But while MS amma sings she miss the audience and see only the respective god (here ranganathan). We can find the difference by comparing both of the singers at same time. New singers plz notice that pure bhakthi rasa. Remember bhakthi rasa is the soul of karnatic music not the knowledge and sound mimics. Thank u . Kodi pranamam Bharath ratna MS amma. Your glory never ends and no one reach there.
Vandinamuralum this is a beautiful combine of three pasurams from tirumalai by tondaradippudi azhvar included in the first ayiram of 4000 divyaprabandham. The rendering is excellent so full of bhavam and Bhakti.the pasurams are numbered 14,23 and 29
One of Saint Tyagaraja's gem of a composition.You will find all the essential as well as subtle characteristics of the Raga Kamboji which affords enormous scope for Manodharma sangeeta in this Kriti.MS Amma has just immersed herself deep into the Raga bhava as well as sahitya bhava in this rendering like only she could have done.
Belated to see the comment/ compliments,,,well analysed,,Kamboji is “” is with grandeur while,,other Gana ragas,are King,,queen,,Prince etc Kamboji is the General of the Command excelling,,it’s origin,,Harikamboji. Saint Theyagaraja Swami,,lyrics,,Sahityam. comes handy to do full justice,,,Her hard work with genius is the treasure,,for all music lovers to relish enjoy the subtle,nuances of “” great Carnatic Music” Just sharing the feeling with yourself
MS amma always reminds me of my grandmother. She was of the same age as MS amma and was a great fan of her. She used to sing almost like her and even had a faint resemblance with her. I still remember her keeping a picture of MS amma stuck to the front cover of "Bhagavatha" which she used to read daily.
Dear Ranganathan Srinivasan, thanks for recording this rendering and uploading it to the global audience of listeners of chaste pure carnatic music. MSS excels herself in this probably energized by the occasion. Thanks once again.
Oh my God. Such a divine presentation.there are so many stalwarts rendition which is available. But MS ammas is the only one which actually makes us feel the vaikuntha. So much divinity in her voice😢😢😢tears rolling down.. there is another upload of same krithi by MS Amma in saregama carnatic page which has raga alapana and neraval , which is also really beautiful. Not just this krithi , whatever raga/ krithi she sings its just beyond perfection and words cannot explain the joy of listening to her. Thank you for the upload. And watching her video is still more satisfying. Looks like goddess🙏🙏blessed are the one who could attend her live concerts.
The intro here of from 1:00 to 3:07 is the sweetest rendition from her in all of her performances of this song....plus the devotion and bhakti bhavam you see in her here doesn't fade even for a second throughout the 24minutes....truly incomparable legend!
Despite her lifelong performances with intense devotion and providing her sweet voice and craving for god's own abode she was snatched with sumangalitvam cruelly!
Incarnation of goddess saraswathi. Nothing to say . Amma you had come on a mission to cleanse the earth of all its sins that todays humans do . You are the divine mother herself .
Listening to this from book aka Vaikuntam on the eve of Panguni utter am festival 2016 is a blessing experience...... What a melodious and pious rendering....gifted to music lovers to eternity......Dr. GOPALAN. Srirangam
Wonderful recitation. I don>t know which is better , the one sung at Carnagi Hall or this one. The recording too stands out. Great Sri Ranganathan Srinivasan
