      Namaskar, Mr. Kamonasish Aayush Mazumdar. Since you have no interest in classical music, why are you even commenting here instead of a Bengali-Bangladeshi forum?

    Hi Charulatha Mani

    I have been listening to Isai Payanam programmme for last 3 years. It is a very well conceived and executed programme/conceret. I and my wife listen to Isai Payanam DVD every day for an hour. In fact my knowledge about various ragas has increased and I am enjoying carnatic classical music much more. I have become your fan after listening to this programme.
    HATS OFF FOR GIVING MUSIC LOVERS AN EXCELLENT PROGRAMME.

    I would like to listen to Jayadeva Ashtapadi sung by you. I request you to provide me the link or details about the CD/DVD.

    WARM REGARDS

    Dear Charulatha mam, I so glad I accidentally found your site when I searching on Google and I am so glad, though I have learned music for few years I am still novice about many things, I loved your videos and explanation about the ragas, hats of to your knowledge, and taking time in explaining the raga lakshanas. Thank you very much and please keep up the great work. I would like to hear and see many of your videos on ragas in the near future. Thanks and god bless you.

    Hi,

    I have heard from one of my relatives that you mentioned my book "RagaChintamani" (A guide to Carnatic Ragas through Tamil Film Music) in one of your Isai Payanam episodes in Jaya TV. Would you be able to recollect the specific episode? Appreciate your response.

    Cheers, Sundararaman

    I am listening to your the music sessions which are so beautifully composed and sung by you.
    I am a Bangalorian by birth and interested in spirituality.
    Your way of teaching the music is great..
    This lock down period is making me to understand the essence of music.
    May GOD give you long and healthy life.

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
