Susheela Raman 'Ganapati'

[f2k032]

This is such a sacred song and it is a sad thing to see it being sung in this manner...

the video is so horrible to look at.

I am not saying she is a bad singer.. but always create your own than messing up with spiritual songs. It really offends so many people when in the name of creativity and fusion old songs or tunes are used like this.

[johannaswiggett]

I meditate on Ganapati

Worshipped by the great sages

Vasishta and Vamadeva

Son of Shiva, adored by his brother Guruguha

Shining with the brilliance of ten million Love Gods

He is tranquil, relishing the work of poets and dramatists

Eating coconut sweets and riding his Mouse

[johannaswiggett]

Mahaganapatim Manasasmarami

Vasishta

Vamadeva Vandita

Mahadevesutam

Guruguhanutam

Marakoti Prakasam

Santam

Mahakavya Natakadi Priyam

Mooshika Vahana Modaka Priyam

PUISSANT ! ! ! ! ! ! !

[ritualistica]

It gets better everytime I hear it

[madhurangarajan]

if you want to hear a good song search for Maha Ganapatim - Sindhu Bhairavi - Sivakumar

this was sung by KJ Yesudas music set by Ilayaraja for the movie Sindhu Bairavi!!

[ritualistica]

@madhurangarajan

I heard that other version, and I have to say in the context of what's timeless, and beautiful, inispired, and evolving:

You seem completely ignorant.

Susheela's version is so good!

[madhurangarajan]

@ritualistica you are entitled to your opinion...and i am to mine...

sorry if i offended you....

not that I am not ready for change..I am 26 and working with the state of the art technology...that keeps changing everyday....

have fun

[madhurangarajan]

sorry to all her fans... i dont like her version of such a sacred song!!!

[rayeovlight]

after reading the translation, and based on my religious beliefs I may not listen to this particular song again, but having said that, I love her voice...it's so warm, velvety...SOULFUL...she is indeed a brilliant artist.

[dshubha24]

lovely rendition! i love the flow....i ve always liked "Maha Ganapathim" anyway.... but this one is a different yet fantastic take... add me to fans' list Susheela Raman! kudos, keep it up

[tenchixryokomasaki]

This is truly awesome! (educated pothead)

[gamesmasta]

Love it, though I found myself wanting to hear the tabla more loudly.

[gauravintown]

i think this is a fab song! absolutely LOVE her voice! amazing!

[darvindnew]

this is a very traditional, carnatic hindu song on one of the most worshipped gods in India, Lord Ganesha.

But i find the spirit of the song ruined. No offence meant to Susheela's fans, but, she has to show some respect when singing such a song.

[tyagarajanuta]

Creating beauty is one of the best ways to make the Gods happy ...and she creates beautiful sounds herself...it`s an honnor.

[Jackisblack3]

darvdindnew, I don't understand how this disrespects god. I think Ganesha would have liked that rendition, or atleast appreciated the effort., I mean this is Ganesha we're talking about. He's one of the chillest gods around.

[eshwarn77]

This is awful.. disgrace to Carnatic Music!!

[Jackisblack3]

Embrace the new world, son.

It won't overthrow Carnatic music, it coexists

[gsheelk]

agreed.

[gothexperiments]

her voice is strange but unique

[Ooviya1927]

The only song of susheela i liked. i love the music more then her voice. but she has a very good voice.

[geotrisi]

My beautiful Susheela! Her singing is divine!

She has come to Athens twice.... I went both times.... she is surrounded by GREAT musicians! Keep up the good work! BRAVO! Come again please!

[pdmusix]

Wow... this is great! Cool. Great rhythm!

[honouredbitch]

I'm buying all of her albums.

Gaaaaah! :}

She's my "spiritual" Jill Scott.

[sashay05]

the fusion has a unique touch to the beat...with the bass guitar and the cello...awesome..

[Isharoyeh]

Thank you, Momoshiri for giving the lyrics and translation. I am a non-Hindu devotee of Ganesha and this song and Susheela's voice brings His presence. Blessings of prosperity and abundance to everyone!

[honouredbitch]

Can I know which album was this song from?

[momoshiri]

its from 'salt rain' by susheela raman 2001

[pyunam1]

its really a nice video,, i love this a lot.. and Susheela has made it wonderfull with her voice..

[Tricolino]

[Romexmagi69]

This song is awesome! I love the Cello.

[elifkanun]

cok güzel basarilarinizin devamini diliyor sizi opuyorum gencler..

[serpentedonilo]

It depends or where you are from... In Latinamerica we are all mixed with almost all cultures... Then we are always agree with mixing. Her music make me feel latin somehow... I like it!

[momoshiri]

i dont think the intention is to be 'classical' or not classical, indian or african or whatever. its just music, you either like it or you don't. if you prefer the traditional approach its there so stick to it.

film composers have been rechannleing classical stuff for a long time, so whats the problem? I look forward to others being so adventurous. isn't that marque gilmore playing drums by the way...invisible here.

[matjagger]

I agree with you momoshri- its music, like food, either one likes it or don't. No need to get into about ethnicities or cultural superiority/inferiority debate. In this borderless worl, more music such as this will be coming out- its a natural progression. Chill out and appreciate the vibes. Thank you to the person for uploading this video. Bless!

[Lavendersprings]

@momoshiri Well said!

[johansson2006]

Indi babe, I think u have quite superior classical music, no need to mix..u r Indian..

[ratamakyoo]

Who's playing drums?

[Mryaggi1]

Search, "Sowmya: Carnatic (South Indian) Vocal Recital" If you want to see the real deal... MahaGanapatim

[gumboot55]
