Swaram Stories

In the late 1700s, the composer Tyagaraja devoted his life to music and spiritual seeking. In a small town in southern India he wrote hundreds of keerthanas — devotional songs still sung daily in the Carnatic (South Indian classical) tradition — asking the deepest questions: wealth or inner peace? Can devotion free us from ego? What does it mean to surrender?

Each Short takes one Tyagaraja keerthana and opens it up — the poetry, the raga, the spiritual insight at its heart. No background in Indian music or philosophy needed — just an open mind. New keerthanas every week.
