Music 2 - Sopanam - The Soulful Music Comments

Hark! Listen to the music Soft tender notes of Sopanam Sensitive like the whispering palms Scented like the sacred basil leaves Seductive like the white jasmine flowers! ........................ Lovely rendering! Only by reading your poem I have got a clear idea of what Sopanam is, though I know it is one of the traditional music form of Kerala! I have been transported to the serene atmosphere of a Kerala temple situated at a higher plane, from where the notes of a divine song rise!

Sopanam, a divine music that transports a devotee to a spiritual plane has nicely been explained through the words of this fine poem. Thanks a lot, Geeta ji. I have got something new to learn. Sopänam! .... Known only to a few But unheard and unknown to many.... Yet, it exists, Steps that lift your spirit.... Take you on a joyful ride

I listened to the following song, though I couldn't understand it but the slow, soothing and peace providing music was amazing. Sa virahe - Sopanam Ensemble - Music Mojo Season 2 - Kappa TV

Nice to know about Sopanam, anything including music that promotes universal love and brotherhood, I welcome. I would like to search on the internet this music that must be soothing, pleasing and peace providing. The poem by Geeta Radhakrishna Menon if forcing me to listen to this music, is a big success, no doubt in it, it's a wonderful poem.

Hi Geeta, When I read on Sopanasangeetam, I remember the inimitable rendition of the form of music by Njarallath Rama Poduvall. Your lines Soft tender notes of Sopaanam Sensitive like the whispering palms truly reminiscent of his music. Enjoyed the poem. You have mentioned that you are a dancer; your love for dance and music makes your poem exquisite. Thank you for sharing.

The divine melody of Sopänam Is the song of the steps - Steps that carry you along the ascending sweet notes, Steps that cascade down with descending melodies, just wonderfullllllll a poem. love to read you dear poetess. dev

Sopanam, it was very nice, but what I came to know is so pan am means dream in malayalam.

Hark! Listen to the music Soft tender notes of Sopänam Sensitive like the whispering palms Scented like the sacred basil leaves Seductive like the white jasmine flowers! Soothing like the gentle breeze, Yet, powerful and intense like the Kathakali dancers Portraying the ancient legends and stories Of Gods and heroes, War and peace, Love and hate, jealousy and revenge, Dancing through this enriching music! dear Geeta Poetess. you have a very special way of expressing your emotions and feelings and thoughts. i am from Kerala and i know what you mean. i thank you very much.

Words created sound....A music for mind...Truly divine poetry...
