🌿 Thillanam in ragam Hindolam set to Adi Taalam. The popular Kriti by Tyagraja ‘Samajavara Gamana’ has been adapted into the format of a Thillana and therefore the amalgamation of a Thillana with a Keerthanam has resulted in a composition called the Thillanam. It has been formatted musically by Sudha Raghuraman. The Kriti ‘Samajavara Gamana’ describes the majestic elephant like gait of Lord Rama. It says that just like a lotus blossoms in the light of Sun, the hearts of the seekers blossoms in the grace of Lord Rama. Here is the essence of Samveda where music originated in the form of Mata Saraswati. While in the Krishna avatar, he accepted the torch of Saptaswaras of melody, music and art specially through his melodious flute. His kriti is basically an ode to Lord Rama and Krishna, both avatars of Vishnu.🌿
