VAYAM ATRA (Sanskrit)

VAYAM ATRA, in our view, speaks of Tharangini's courage and vision to present a SANSKRIT song; not an oft-attempted effort in any performance in this genre in the world today (probably). While being patriotic and eulogizing our motherland, we also weaved in RECITATION as a form of art, again, not something you would find very easily today. The gist of the song is presented in the poetry, making it accessible to a wide variety of audiences globally. The sublime dance performance only added to the mystique of this number. This performance was part of Tharangini's mega-charity show in Hong Kong on May 24, 2008, MANJARI - A BOUQUET OF MELODIES. Vayam Atra is a traditional number.

[rpj1970a]

Mukhda: It is indeed a good fortune (punyam) to have been born to this land - a land so holy, its sentiment so pure.

Antara 1: To be born to this land is not easily attainable by everyone. Those born here can attain godliness. Without any expectation of returns, those born to this land work righteously and dutifully.

Antara 2: There are no differences amongst us in our being or in our sentiment. We unify all religions and, we walk and speak together as one.

मधुरं श्राव्यम् इदं सङ्गीतम् । धन्यवादाः या नर्तनं कृतवती, तथा च ये गीतं गीतवन्तः ।

Hi there - I am very sorry to have missed this comment. But I just realised that I had not replied to this. Your wishes are truly appreciated, and I will pass this on to the team. I don't know Sanskrit to the level you do, but its truly a beautiful language - that of the Gods! Thank you so much for this thoughtful response.

This is really an unique attempt. I have viewed all your videos from Majari, and I am overwhelmed. Your work seems to reflect the entire spirit of India. I would love to be a part of a group like yours. "Choir music" is especially very dear to my heart. May God give you the strength and spirit to move on and rise higher in your attempt to serve others while discovering yourselves.

Regards,

Sumana.
