Rangapura Vihara 

fellow devotee from different religion.taking bow 🙏🙏🙏

superb.... what a beautiful imagination 🙏👌💐

What an involvement and immersion in devotion. All the team is praiseworthy. Hats off.

For this reason, i wish he would just pursue his music, and leave the world to itself. I may sound selfish, but i don't want to lose a consummate artist for an activist. The world has enough of the latter. TMK's best contribution to the world may still be the accomplishments he is yet to achieve in music itself. He could start a music school where he could teach ALL those he feels were denied access to Carnatic Music. He might make history as the biggest contributer to BOTH music as well as the 'denied.' To reach out to others, he need not have to *decry the Brahmins* who nurtured this music form through the centuries, with their austerity , and preserved it in all its pristineness, so that a TMK could pursue it in the 21st Century.

@@krisn90 as per TMK sir himself, yes, and even if there were others, they were not recognised

@@krisn90 okay, thanks for the information!

Yes I agree with you and of course I had sent mail requesting him to keep himself away from fringe and unscrupulous elements.

his world views are the best

It exists, and it's these 16 min, like you said 🤗

Yes..absolutely..total blissssssss🙏🙏🙏🙏

Forget about his controversy. He is an absolute genius to take us to the celestial world through his soulful music

Truely bro...

I was fortunate to listen to this concert live and it was truly heaven.

But he didn't give a solo to violinist

Agreed

Rama murdered Shambhuka in a terr0rist attack.

U hear Madurai mani iyer.. K v narayanaswamy followed THAT style. That is THE best

Hu 7777664

Yes i cried too... its too emotional

Yes I too can't stop my tears

NO. YOU HEAR K V NARAYANA SWAMY VERSION. IT IS THE BEST. HERE TMK IS GOING BY MS VERSION. 2 STYLE S MINOR VARIATIONS ARE THERE. IGNORING TEXT MISTAKES. NO. HINDUSTAAN EE. THEIR BRINDAVANEE ..IS A FOLLOWER.

...Yes you said it. Tears flew out without me knowing ...!!

HEMANTHKUMAR YS You are right . KV Narayanaswamy' s slow pace clicked for me too. Couple of years ago Ranjani and Gayathri sang the same version. But can't find it on RU-vid any more. So much so I have started listening to MS on slow speed now!

You said it...sir...you said it....👍👍👍

But we here in south are addicted to the divine vocal of bade ghulam Ali khan Saab...

dont worry, plenty of south indians dont understand the words either!

@@acct123as3 pandit palushkar, sahr.

@@PianoMeSasha pandit paluskar is good no doubt greats...but not upto ustad bgak Saab..

All said and done...MS amma's rendition is the best... her specialty... least show max impact...

@@jayap3557 Agreed. There can be no 2nd opinion. But, this painstaking effort from TM Krishna is also commendable. I hv also heard the great DKP who too had put her heart & soul into this Krithi giving her best.

@Shreyas K MS has sung it the way Dikshitar has composed it and meant for it to be sung. Not to forget that MS was very adept in kala/laya - her mastery of the tala and mridangam(yes she was a very competent mridangist as her peers have said) is too well known - how she sings it is the way it should be sung technically, vocally and emotionally - this singer's version lacks in bhava and bhakthi… and sounds very artificial in this overly vilambit/slow kala... does not do justice to its creator...that is why more than 4 or 5 respondents in this box agree that her version is the best...and that is true about every composition that she has presented... tho you/we are free to hold your opinion...

@@jayap3557 Oh I love MS Amma's version no doubt. But the only reason for someone to pick one version over another would be preference, really. I think it's unfair to say that is how it MUST be sung. For all we know, in fact, Dikshitar's kritis - most of them - need to sung in the vilamaba kala: they are called 'vilamba kala kritis' for a reason.

@@VighneshHampapura and Shreya I agree re. personal preferences. Sure those who prefer this version can hold it in their esteem. What I miss in all non-MS Amma renditions of the Sri Rangapura Vihara for starters - is the opening Ramanujacharya virachit shloka paying obeisance to the 4 Ranganatha kshetras… MS (on her composer's advice) has managed to segue it to the start of the main kriti so wonderfully in the later renditions - incidentally this may not have been part of her initial presentations of this kriti - her command over the stage, audiences and her own talent is incredible... indeed as they have said "born to sing". As for her vilambit presentations - listen to her version of another Dikshitar gem - Akhilandeswari (dwijavanthi) to realize what should be sung in vilambit/chowka kala - and what should not be sung - Sri rangapura in my humble opinion does not feel like an emotion that should be sung so slow...that's all...otherwise why should small humans like me hold a candle to the great(est) musician of my times …. :-)

pretty sure he is an atheist...it may be he is a good showman rather than in trance. but not positive.

Pallathur1917 I think so too

What amelodios voice

@@PianoMeSasha W

Proves even an atheist can't escape from the godly vibration of divine composer Dikshidar's composition! Rama is so loving to undergo penance for the peaceful departure of Ravana's soul!

@Pillars of Creation Are you referring to the singers or someone else?

@Pillars of Creation അതെ ഞാൻ മലയാളിയാണ്

Did he start the concert with this?

@@krishnamurthynarasipur2556 yes

Do tell whenever you visit. I'll try to join you brother. I wanna do this too.

You are not alone 🙏🏿🙏🏿🥺🥺🥺

Carnaticsongs

yes

looking more please share links

Nadhaswarupam? Why you all do this type of hype unnecessary ly. He sings a normal sangeetham. That's all.

U r right. No words to express. Narayana Narayana Narayana

Great

At 8.29 he does a Namaskaram,the arpanam of the soul to Lord Ranga..power packed performance showcasing the glory of Shri Ranga

Excellent

Superb excellent. Wonderful. Words taik me to describe the joy, the bliss that were created in me while listening. You stand alone. May you be a Chiranjeevi.

Yes with Jesu he is bargaining

Soorya Gayathri or Sivaram Krishnan is better

Me too. Even have listened to this more than 3 times a day 🙏

T M krishna is one of of the great artist without much encouragement His music is device. DSN

Very true.

Better to get more addicted, if possible.. The Kriti itself like that n TM Krishna Sir..super

No need to recover...

God gave ears to humans to hear this

Mind blowing and intoxicating music.

Others I like are Ranjini Gayatri and of course Harish Sivaramakrishnan

Chandrakanth sir r u old student of sheshadripuram school, I did my schooling and college in same school and college

Good. U R absolutely Right in yr observations Madam. Very crisp comment. 💟

I feel the same.. this is the best version of Rangapura Vihar.. I think this brings out the “bhava” the best way.. and who can argue with TM Krishna’s music..

Totally submerged.

Does Vilambit means prolonged ?

Kind of Hindhustani tradition

I agree.

Thank you Mohan. I had the same reaction esp during when he hits upper Pa

Very glad to hear that you loved it.

:-))

Interestingly Mr. Krishna feels "gods" and "goddesses" have taken over Carnatic music and its too "Brahminical" - so yeah, music of the great trinity is without bhava or bhakti but mere musical wizardry for him. Not my cup of tea. Not sure why he sings "brahminical" music filled with "too much of religion" - which he blabbers in every interview. I stopped attending concerts by him long time ago because disrespect to Sri Dikshitar is not something I will tolerate

AA

Intoxicating experience to listen to TMK render Rangapura - magical purity & beauty

...u got tears as tmk touched a soft cosy corner of your soul which is deeply twined with the DIVINE

His voice going to hevan...birth is lords ....

Apurbo!

agree with you , ALLEZ ROGER !! 😍
