[nidhinpl2006]

Amazing TKV sir.....brought me to a different world...this is one of my favorite raagam....gives you engery....you can melt in this......Salute!!!!!

[Ooga001]

wonderfully melodious... there is something divine in Hindolam.. I just close my eyes, imagine myself on the banks of the Sarayu or the Saraswati 5000 years ago meditating on the parabrahman while listening to this beautiful melody.

[aryandart2001]

@Ooga001 you do realise that this was not composed 5000 years ago.. :)

[reva12]

@Ooga001 I love Hindolam too. Though to me. It has phrases (don't know music terms) that are melancholic and very human in a philosophical way. South Indian weddings include(d?) a piece played on Nadaswaram; it would feel as if it conveyed poignant sadness about our fleeting time here, in the midst of the celebration.. Anyhow it sets off vibrations in the brain.

[Bushrraff]

TKV gaaru, sweet Hindolam sounding more sweeter in your violin, I am feeling lighter after listening to your violin.

[NoPetrol]

Hey buddy I think you're holding your violin upside down.

I'm joking. This is brilliant. I want to learn how to do that. But I'm just a dumb American so I'll probably be never this good.

I wonder how to find lessons on how to play this style.

[MrMKH2010]

@NoPetrol I am teaching myself to play Viola, and holding it in the Carnatic fashion is very easy.

[urckrecords]

zabardast! (just recently learned this word)

[bqureshi21]

zabardast!

[coolkal81]

Beautiful, Thanks.

[rgh1986aka199]

i always wish if they played a little tanam after the alapana...

[openerbat1]

Dear TKV sir, beautiful! Thank you so much.

my namaskaram to you.

[akinderreality]

It is very beautiful,

... Perhaps some of you play Carnatic Violin, if so,perhaps you could help me, I was curious, what is the advantage of holding the violin that way, as opposed to the traditional western fashion? I would really appriecate if you could tell me.

Thanks

[glorplaxy]

- Indian classical musicians almost always sit on the floor when performing. Thus, it makes sense that the Western style of playing where the musician is either standing or on a chair would have to be changed.

- Carnatic violinists hold their instrument on their shoulder and against the heel of their foot. This gives much more stability than Western violin playing where the instrument is held under the chin when standing.

[akinderreality]

Thanks, I am very interested in this kind of music, I find it very ethereal and beautiful, I appriecate you taking the time to write that

[Ooga001]

@glorplaxy and to add to your points, Indian musicians, or Carnatic music, is considered divine and thus must only be approached in a respectful and reverent manner. Standing up or wearing shoes while playing instruments is considered inauspicious.

[shyamvenky]

@sj6288 : u idiot.. malkauns is the hindustani counterpart of hindolam!

[Ooga001]

@shyamvenky no reason to call someone an idiot for that you asswipe.

[TheKid717]

is this tuned DGDG instead of GDAE?

[kirtanyasadahari]

this is just beautiful....

[sj6288]

Does not sound like raag Hindol at all, sounds more like Malkauns.

[horshodg]

malkauns is called hindolam/hindola (हिन्दोळम्/हिन्दोळ) in carnatic music.

[guitarguy1381]

Malkauns is the hindustani version of hindolam.

[Bushrraff]

Yes you are right. It si Carnatic Hindolam equalent of Malkauns.

Hindol is different in Hindustani and NOT equal to Hondolam of Carnatic.

[rgere69]

superb playing.... really awesome....

i would like to learn from u sir.... please post all basic lessons like finger movement, positions on fingerboard...

[sokanq]

[rpremnath29]

Absolutely amazing. The best Hindolam I have ever heard....

[aksharadamle]

[lakmar]

I finished listening to Kunnaikudi, Lalgudi, the new kid Hari.. Though not a violinist, I like to listen to the violin [any style]. TKV Ramanujacharyulu has a very natural and excellent way of playing [style] and that is god given [either you have it or not..] Iam now a big big fan.. :)

[BanarsiPaan120]

Beatifull!!Can not stop listening. Repeating to understand it better and better.

[05071990abc]

aahhaaaa, truly amazing sir. I would love to learn from you.

[arunpennath]

I would like to know where TKV sir is staying.

If somebody can provide address. Can he teach in Chennai ? That would be great.

It is just excellent!

[MangoSowmya]

I would assume that he lives in Andhra Pradesh, since he speaks Telugu.

[thoopurani]

He speaks Telugu and he is from Andhra. However he is in Trichy AIR for past few decades. He is an exceptionally talented A-Top artiste. He is from the parampara of Sri Tyagaraja.

[janasampath]

He truly displays the quality that he belongs to the parampara of Sri Thyagaraja. Salute to these masters of our great Indian music.

[ravipsf]

loved all ur videos sir! thanks a lot...hope to see more

[srikasip]

TKV Sir, you're playing is exceptional! I cannot stop listening to all of your videos because each one is such a gem. Even your lessons are so clear. Please let us know when you plan to come to the US!

[kishorepalle]

Amazing... TKV Sir has magic in his hands :) I would love to hear Nattai, Chandrakauns, Vasantha, Srothaswini (Suddha Dhanyasi with Kakali Nishadham) from TKV Sir. Please request him on my behalf. Thanks for sharing these videos and hope to see more from TKV Sir.

[kishorepalle]

Amazing... TKV Sir has magic in his hand :) Please keep going sir. Would love to hear Pantuvarali, Vasantha, ChandraKauns, Nattai ragas from you. Please request TKV sir from our end to play some raga pravahams in these ragas. Also would love to hear Srothaswini Ragam (Suddha dhanyasi with Kakali Nishadham) from TKV Sir.
