What A Beautiful Composition of Saint Thyagaraja brought out with all its beauty
through the melodious display of Sri Lalgudi. It seems that this composition was created for Sri Lalgudi alone . Such is the display

mOkSamu galadA. rAgA: sAramati.

P: mOkSamu galadA bhuvilO jIvanmuktulu gAni vAralaku

A: sAkSAtkAra nI sadbhakti sangIta jnAna vihInulaku

C: prANanAla sam-yOgamu valla praNava nAdamu sapta svaramulai bAraga

vINA vAdana lOluDau shivamanO vidha merugaru tyAgarAja vinuta

Meaning:

Is salvation possible in this earth for those who are not realised souls?
For those who are ignorant of music and devotion that enables them to see you, is salvation possible?
Object of Tyagaraja’s worship, for those who do not understand the inner thoughts of Shiva who ever delights in playing the vINa, which unites the life force (jIvAtma) with the divine light (paramAtma) thereby dividing the OmkAra into seven notes, is salvation possible?

Very beautiful ragam Kalyana Vasantham......

Manoharam

Sublime appeal to Rama...Entreating...Stunning incredibly beautiful stellar presentation.

Sweet and sparkling!

Though no label is given, I presume that the other artist is a sarod player, probably Amkad Ali Khan. Raagas played are Hindolam and Malkauns.

Beautiful

Meaning:
pallavi: Peerless Rama! Who is equal to you? The RAGHU race attained supremacy thanks to your advent therein.

anupallavi: Your beloved Seeta is like a tender and fragrant creeper on your bosom. She is the parrot gracing the cage of devotion to you.

caraNam: You have brothers whose words drip with the sweetness of honey. You are gentle and soft-spoken. We are privileged to have you, as our family deity.
Beautifully rendered Kharahari priya ragam ..

(lADamODi)

Meaning: O Ramayya! You seem to feel too proud, too uppish, even to talk to me. I have sought you as my sole support and shelter and stuck to you steadfastly and devotedly but you seem to feel .. Do you remember that when kindly Anjaneya, an offshoot of Shiva Himself, at his very first meeting with you desired to be informed of your antecedents, you did not respond directly, but commanded Lakshmana to speak to him? When such was the lot of Anjaneya himself, who can expect you to talk to this frail Tyagaraja?

Amazing......Amazing......Amazing...... Chaurkesi

Beautiful

Fantastic rendering by Lalgudi-starting with karaharapriya and ending in
karaharaprya
