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
