    Dear Madam Charulatha Mani,

    I'm contacting after being interested in your blog. I have been composing music for a very long time now, and I appreciate so many things about your blog and your songs.

    I am from Srirangam and I compose music for purely passion sake with all my heart. I currently live in Singapore now, far away from my homeland. Unfortunately, I am unable to convince my parents to pursue a full-time career in music. My dream is to be making the music I like and most importantly continue on a musical journey for the rest of my life. I hope that I can achieve this aim by working in the Indian movie industry as I am amazed by so many works just like I am with yours! If you could help me out in anyway possible, please let me know.

    Please tell me if you are willing to help me on my journey in any way possible!

    Thank You,
    Sriram.

      Do you only compose or you can also sing?
      You are an "entity" on earth by yourself. God put you here for a purpose. You only get a glimpse of what that is. You are lucky to have found your passion. 99.99999% of people that might include your parents have no clue about their own "purpose" on earth. Listening to their advice or convincing them is meaningless. YOU have to live your life. Let them not put you in a mould in which you don't fit. You will always feel uncomfortable.

    Hi Madam:
    Namaste:

    I greatly appreciate your voice and style of Carnatic music rendering.
    I recently discovered you as I was surfing youtube trying to discover new music links.
    You can count me as one more fan.

    Your singing of 'Etavunara' in Kalyani is really superb.
    Recording of this piece and the accompaniments seem to be quite good also.
    I am listening to this over and over again. I am completely mesmerized by it.
    Your Bajarere manasa in abheri is quite good also.
    Please add many more of your clear recordings under 'music' links.

    Can you please add "Sri Nathadi Guruguhi Jayati Jayati' and explain Mayamalavagaula as well...


    Thanks,

    Regards,
    Rajan

    I would to ask you a question on music now and then. I hope you would not mind such questions.

    Can you please briefly explain why 'e tavunara ' and 'nidi chala sukama' sound differently at least a bit though both are in kalyani raga?

    Thank you,
    Regards,
    Rajan

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
