    Gomathi Ambal songs have 50% Tamil Panns, and different from usual lyrics. But this raga Panthuvarali is a beautiful morning Raga, that brings calm and devotion. Panthuvarali, Bhiravi,Sangarabharanam, Bhiravi,Neelambari, Mohanam, Nattai, Kahamboji etc are famous and our traditional Ragas. It was earley morning here and about to get out of bed, clicked the clm web and mistake was made. It is a joy of hearing your voice in Panthuvarali starting with Thiru Anga Maalai - if it result in going to work late, so be it, I thought. It took me back to my childhood days, reciting Thevaram.
    FYI - Your earlier DVDs are VOB files and may be better off in other format.

    Dear madam, You have gone deep in the ocean of Panthuvarali and taken out so many pearls from it. Hats off. My memory goes back to my early days in my village when I heard so may times "Deviyai Poojai and Ambaa manam" via HMV three minutes record.
    Well done With best wishes Jagannathan New York

    Surprising that you didn't quote "Appa rama bhakthi yentho" and "Saarasaksha"!! Great demonstration! Hats off :)

    Thank you for the feedback! The "Brief Guide" is only illustrative. As it was originally compiled for the CD liner, there was a space constraint as well.

    You have left Violin Concerto in Raja Parvai.

    This symphonious expression of Raga Pantuvarali song begins in carnatic and changes to Hindustani type and again metaphors into a Western classical - Jazz - Rock - Pop without any deflexion from the grammar of the Panthuvarali raga. ( whole song is in Panthuvarali)

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
