Trinity Of Carnatic Music 1-St.Thyagaraja Comments

Thank you for your comments! The thing about Kalyani, is that this Raga took me sometime to learn, I always confounded it with Shankarabharanam...the suddha madyama, prati madhyama difference..Thodi came easily than kalyani did, for some reason! ..and Kalyani is not quite my favourite raga. Bt I think its avarohana sounds better than its arohana.....I hope Swami Thyagarajulu above will bestow his grace upon me, for luck with this raga!

Beautiful tribute to Swami Thyagaraja...to him God was Rama...Rama to him a friend...so God was his friend...he loved Rama...bullied...worshippped...played words with him...His composition- 'Marugela Ra- O, Raaghavaa' is an ideal example of how Thayagaraja associated himself with the Manifestation of Supreme God-head Thanks for this dedicated wonderfiul work...10

'How am I to accost? Guru? swamy, rishi, poet, writer, father? '....These lines are sooo beautiful! he just did not worship Ram, he loved him......he should be among his own list 'Bhagavtha athreya, sarunaku naradha prahlada parachara, ramadasulu....bhavuka sri raghu ramu ni pada muna, bhakthi chesina riti thyagarajunikku ipudu!
