This is is a song that I heard in Vishaka Hari’s Sundara kaandam upanyasam. I have not heard many carnatic songs that are composed on Lord Hanuman. I have also never learnt a song in Dharmavathi ragam. So this is song is one of its kind in my list.
Song: Mangaambudhi Hanumantha
Raagam: Dharmavathi (59 melakartha)
Aa: S [...]
Another beautiful composition in the Yamuna Kalyani raagam is bhavayami gopala balam…
I hvae heard this composition in MS subbalakshmi’s voice only. I love the song for its melody….I also have a fascination for songs composed on lord Krishna and I think this love for this song is also as a result of that…
Song: bhaavayami gOpalabaalam
raagam: [...]
I was going through my music notes when I remembered the Sahana varnam….it had been too long since I practiced it…. Also… I used to love it when I learnt it (probably one of the songs that I learnt quickly…that could be the reason:) )
The raagam is great. Really soothing…and this varnam somewhat goes into [...]

Amma was mentioning this song today… I have never heard it before. It seems she heard it on TV and she wants me to learn it. So as usual, as the first step I looked into the internet for details. I was surprised to find immediate details.
Now I am excited to learn it…
Song: Valli kanavan
Raagam: [...]
My sister wanted to play a lot of songs on the keyboard and kept asking me for the notes of songs. unfortunately… I am not a great mucisian…(no where even close to the word musician…forget about being great)…and so I could not decipher the notes when a song was sung.
Google always comes to my rescue:)… [...]
I heard the song Hari smarane by Purandara dasa and could not help but notice the uncanny resemblance with Krishna nee begane baro. Somehow I felt it was not just the ragam that was the same…..most of the swarams also looked same to me.
Krishna ne begane baro by K J Yesudas can be listened to [...]
We have so many musical instruments in India. So all of us know about all instruments? I don’t know most of them. So it is of course not right on my part to describe these instruments in my blog:)
But I did find interesting information on http://sify.com/carnaticmusic/fullstory.php?id=13167931&page=1 . it is worth reading.

Short and sweet is what this song is all about….
Another Purandara dasa’s composition… Tamburi meetidhava
My sister introduced me to this song. She heard it somewhere and kept saying I must learn it… I had not heard it before. I researched it and found it to be a very short and sweet song.
You can listen to [...]
