    Dear Mrs Charulatha,

    Today's Isaippayanam (25/11/2010) at Bharathiya Vidhya Bhavan was superb and grand.

    Just a doubt about Raga Dharmavathi. What is the Melakartha Raga when Pradhi Madyamam in Dharmavathi is replaced with Sudha Madyamam ?

    Rendering of Bale Pandia film song composed in Sudhdha Danyasi was really great.

    Adding Bhagesri Raga to the agenda of isaippayanam to honour the presence of the great Sri PBS Sir was also timely.

    I wish you could have given the example of Bhavaumulona ( Annamacharya Keerthana ) and sung that completely while explaining Suddha Dhanyasi.

    Congrats and thank u for the grand concert.

    We wish and pray to the Almighty that you conduct more and more Isaippayanam concerts in a grand manner all over the world and be an inspiration to the upcoming musicians.

    Regards

    N RAMESH, R A PURAM, CHENNAI

    Owing to time constraint, only selected examples were taken up. Shuddha Dhanyasi has been rendered in detail in Isai Payanam #5 and the DVD released by Giri Trading is available at:

    The Shuddha Madhyama equivalent of Dharmavathi is Gourimanohari. A clip on Gourimanohari is at:

    Yesterday I attended your programme at Bhatiya Vidhya Bhavan. I really enjoyed your Sudha Dhanyasi. I left afe the Thani.Generally I am averse to hear ladies singing except that of MLV. Yesterday I found that your Saariram is nice. In general the programme was good.
    I also bought the MP3 cassette of yours' Isai Payanam given at London.I am yet to hear it.
    Regards,

    Feed backs reads very good.. Another Charu stamp!. Would it be possible to upload some of the clips so that we expatriates could enjoy. That's being greedy... settle for one clip!

I have to identify it!!!!

Dear Rasika, The wonderful thing about Ragas in the Indian Classical music system is that they are unique, and each one of them have something that is typically only associated with them, that which is irreplaceable. It is easy to fool an average listener in a little game of "Identify the raga" in a post-dinner Carnatic music party, and chuckle as he identifies a Sri raga as a Madhyamavati or a Pharas as a Mayamalavagowla..but how many of us self-confessed aficionados of this great system really have a fool-proof method of unambiguously identifying, each time, every time, the raga correctly? I doubt very many of us do, and this includes the smug critic or the know-it-all mama-mami duo next door. Lets face it - there are many factors that go into identifying a raga - the musical intelligence of the person who is playing or singing in the specimen recording, the level of sophistication of the music system, the extent of deafness of the listener or the lack of it, peer pressur...

Bhairavi Swarajati - Amba Kamakshi

Image
Creating this recording and the video was a spiritual experience for me. Raga Bhairavi has magical powers and envelopes the soul. This kriti "Amba Kamakshi" was composed on the goddess at Kanchi "Kamakshi" by the great Shyama Sastri. This kriti is a call of the child's soul to the divine mother "Amba". Each and every person can relate to this call to the divine, this I truly believe. I dedicate this video and kriti to Kanchi Kamakshi Ambal, Sri Mahaperiyava and Shyama Sastri. I also recall with fond love my guru Late Smt Savitri Saytamurthy who painstakingly taught me this piece "Amba Kamakshi" and many other precious gems in music.  More on Raga Bhairavi: Raga Bhairavi - SoundCloud Playlist: https://soundcloud.com/charulathamani/sets/raga-bhairavi A Raga's Journey - Bewitching Bhairavi: http://charulathamani.blogspot.in/2012/07/ragas-journey-bewitching-bhairavi.html
