Superb ! Tamadam Tagadaiyya Ragam Mohana Kalyani Adi Talam Lalgudi Gopala Iyer Krithi One of the renditions which stand out is the energetic presentation of Tamadam Tagadaiyya by Abhishek Raghuram. It has everything - a great voice and instinctive musicality, a lilting melody interspersed with surprising and sometimes breath taking improvisation, a well written song with interesting word-play, alliteration and sweetness of meaning, head-nodding rhythms and a magic something which brings it all together. Composer is the father of Shri Lalgudi Jayaraman This delay is not suitable, O compassionate Lord! Help me, O Lord Muruga! This is right opportunity to govern this lonely and wretched one with lowly qualities! O son of Shiva unseen by even Lord Vishnu and Lord Brahma! O Lord of sweet Valli! O Kanda who delights ladies ! Please come quickly and bless me that I will always be protected by the spear and the peacock ! In this song, the poet-composer Lalgudi Gopala Iyer has created an enchanting melody in Raga Mohanakalyani.. P tAmadam tagAdaiyyA dayApara tuNai murugaiyyA !! This delay (tAmadam) is not suitable (tagAdu), O Compassionate (dayAparA) Lord (ayyA)! Help me (tuNai), O Lord Muruga! AP tAmasa guNa dInan Ana tamiyEnai ALa taruNam idaiyyA !! This is right opportunity (taruNam) to govern (ALa) this lonely (tamiyEn) and wretched (dInan) one with lowly qualities (tAmasa guNa) ! C mAlum ayan kAnA mahAdEvan maindA madu vaLLi dEvA mAdu magizh kandA vElum mayilum ennALum ennaik kAkkavE vEgamAga vArum varam tArum !! O son of Shiva (mahAdEva) unseen (kANA) by even Lord Vishnu (mAl) and Lord Brahma (ayan)! O Lord (dEvA) of sweet (madu) Valli! O Kanda who delights (magizh) ladies (mAdu)! Please come (vArum) quickly (vEgamAga) and bless me (varam tArum) that I (ennai) will always (ennALum) be protected (kAkka) by the spear (vEl) and the peacock (mayil) ! Mohanakalyani :- The scales of Mohanakalyani are as follows : Aro : S R2 G3 P D2 S’ Av : S’ N3 D2 P M2 G3 R2 S Mohanakalyani is a janya raga, derived from Mechakalyani, 65th on the Melakarta scale. In essence, it has the scale of Mohanam in ascent and Kalyani (same as Mechakalyani) in descent (see the two scales below), but there are subtle differences of course Though there are not many compositions in this raga, Bhuvaneshvariya andSiddhi Vinayakam by Muthiah Bhagavathar, Tamadam Tagadaiyya by Lalgudi Gopala Iyer and a Thillana in this raga by Lalgudi Jayaraman will be familiar to all Carnatic Music lovers, along with Adinaiye Kanna by Ambujam Krishna,Bhaja Re Manasa by Mysore Vasudevachar and Seve Srikantam by Swati Thirunal.

Extraordinary, inimitable, unique n marvelous style of rendition with free flow of songs, the rapidity of which is astonishing. Listening to his concerts is akin to experiencing the celestial pleasure engulfed in trance. He has greatly enriched the culture n heritage of Carnatic classical music. His concerts defy all appreciations of excellence n he is a valuable asset to the music world gifted by God. May Almighty bless him with good health n longevity.
Fantabulous these renditions made me passionate to have a glimpse of Abhishek at 8th cross VVMohalla Mysore last week and felt blessed to hear and see him perform live .God be with him to make his renditions eternal.
It is as if Goddess Saraswathi has taken us in her womb and breating melodies into our ears through you, we have become the real divine children of mother Saraswathi through you, Her interaction with us is all the instruments playing.
Nice. enjoyed. Abhishek should immediately engage the services of a traditional scholar/ speaker for stressing on important letters of a word. I need this dimension in him perfected so he blossoms into a great master.
He has said that lyrics are not as important as the musical flow..... It is a point of view a performer of his excellence can advance, I think... His Swara Jathis show his overall philosophy of music.....
