Mahaganapathim

[SolaimalaiS]

Fantastic rendition..though i am a naive to carnatic music, this always pulls me to listen to it..

[raynairgmail]

There is no other language with such subliminal qualities as Sanskrit. Very well suited for Carnatic music compositions. That is why Thyagaraja composed many in Sanskrit.

@raynairgmail The song was composed by Muthuswamy Dikshithar and not Thyagaraja. It should be noted that most of Thyagaraja's compositions are in Telugu.

This song was pictured badly in the film. The story itself starts with the drunken Mridangam player getting out of the stage and then the concert taking without Mridangam. Still, K. Balachander is a great director!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ShivaMahadevaaa]

In what language is this song? Please Respond

[cramsingapore]

@ShivaMahadevaaa this is in sanskrit, an ancient indian language!

[gansat123]

No percussion?! Come on...

[veejay8]

@tofusambal Its taken from the movie.... where the musician finds the percussionist drunk at the start of the concert. He instructs him to leave the premises and performs without the Mridangam which is considered a basic/compulsory instrument to perform a carnatic concert.

[muthupillai1]

This is a song from movie, 'Sindhubairavi'. In that movie, there is a situation, where the singer is forced to sing without percussion, thats why you don't hav eit.

[MsSandy016]

thanks for sharing



[cramsingapore]

@MsSandy016 my pleasure.

[mysore18]

this is from Sindhu Bhairavi

[nthameez]

This is one among the songs that proved to upper caste (read Brahmins) approved Illayaraja for his 'extra'ordinary, intellectual knowledge about carnatic music. Maestro u live today!

[thoravazhakkan]

@nthameez I don't know why you want to bring caste angle into this. But, anyway, the song was originally composed in 19th century by Muthuswamy Dikshitar(who happened to be a brahmin). Dikshitar not only wrote the lyrics but also composed the tune. Ilayaraja merely replayed the song through KJY. Hope that helps. FYI, there have been many non brahmins in Carnatic music who have been absolutely adored. I will let you find that out as a home work.

[nthameez]

@thoravazhakkan Great info dude. But still I had told the fact here and it will be hard to digest for u it seems.

[thoravazhakkan]

@nthameez You are plain stupid to bring in caste angle. As I said the song was composed by someone who lived in 19th century. So your claim that Ilayaraja composed this song and gained respect from brahimins is a joke. You have to get your facts right before claiming it to be fact. Actually, well before Mahaganapathim song, Ilayaraja had used Thyagaraja's song in Kavariman. I will let you do some research.

[amithkumarv]

classical to the core

[Cooolguy51]

This is one of my favourite songs. Thanks a lot for uploading. Surprised at the very few views this song has though.

[cramsingapore]

thanks for stopping by, arvind.

[sirensongsindia]

Yesudas, Ilayaraja and Ganbherra Nattai Raga!!

[cramsingapore]

welcome

[vam004]

This song has a subliminal and uplifting quality to it. Only Yesudas with his clear Sanskritic feel for Indian languages and music could have pulled this off. Hats-off to the maestro, and thanks for posting.

[ullasrajchellappan1]

yes it is a deadly combination....it is like gunpowder and fire....sure to ignite waves of musical bliss in the hearts of listeners...

[melvinjohnsone]

it's a highly deadly combination

YESUDAS & ILAYARAJA
