Prince Rama Varma, accompanied by Parur Shri M.A.Sundareshwaran on the violin and by Shri B.Harikumar on the mridangam, sings a Pada Varnam in Raga Shanmukhapriya composed by his Guru, Dr.Mangalampalli Balamuralikrishna during his concert at Hamsadhwani in April 2009. This Varnam is a masterpiece where the composer describes the process of the creation of the cosmos itself brilliantly, where poetry, rhythm and melody go together to create an exhilerating atmosphere.
What an amazing Varnam!!!And the rendition,just beyond description.....Is there any other word other than best,to describe him???

Thanks a ton!! Personal nostalgia- I used to love this varnam when this was taught to me, oh like 20 years back. In all this time, I have heard this only once in a concert, that too by my Guru's son. This varnam is such a master class on Shanmukhapriya, not to mention the brilliant swaraksharams and the other features mentioned in the info section. A brilliant composition of Sri BMK. Kudos to Sri Rama Varma for such a fine rendition.
