I write from Sweden. I have been watching your 'Isai Payanam' program via youtube lately. I must tell you that I immensely enjoy listening to your program. As you said in one of your interviews on a TV show, like your friends, I am also interested in finding out the ragas for the cinema songs. Therefore, I find your program very interesting. You sing really beautifully!
I wanted to say hello to you and also to write to you to get in touch with you.
If I am in touch with you I presume I could get your help to get some information on ragas and songs.
I used to live in Sydney, Australia for many years, and I started learning carnatic music there. But, after moving to Scandinavian countries I do not have any one here to talk about carnatic music. I wish I live in India so that I can quench my thirst for music!
Congrats, being an ardent carnatic music lover and I used to follow and listed to your concerts. Exemplary voice. Yesterday music fusion was scintillating. Warm regards

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.

Vaidehi Kathirunthal is a 1984 film written and directed by R. Sundarrajan, starring Vijayakanth and Revathi. The story was developed based on songs that Ilaiyaraaja had composed earlier. Released on 23 October 1984, it became a commercial success and emerged a breakthrough in 'Captain' Vijayakanth's career. The film is memorable to this day for its evergreen raga-based music by the maestro Ilaiyaraja. Abhogi ragam: T he evergreen classic ' Indraikku en indha anandame ' is an example of how a classical raga may be adapted to silver screen seamlessly and uncompromisingly. This composition of Ilayaraja is set in tisra nadai, the beat progressing in threes, making for lively listening. The singers Vani Jayaram and Jayachandran, both classically adept, cleverly navigate through the sangatis in “kanavugalin suyamvaramo”, gently swaying the Gandhara towards Madhyama and back. Chandrakauns ragam: Ilaiyaraaja has explored this raga to its fullest in ‘ Azhagu Malar ...
