Sarva Brahma Mayam........... By Sadaasive brahmendrar!

Before you proceed with playing the song, its a kind request from my side.

Switch on the song, sit in a comfortable position in your couch, close your eyes..breath deep..and enter into the most silent phase you can reach in ur inner spaces.
Sarvam Brahma Mayam - Madhuvanti - Sadashiva Brahmendra - Sikkil Gurucharan & Anil Srinivasan


recently hooked up with this great song..

written by Shri Sadaasive Brahmendrar..a great person who lived around 17th century AD.. (http://www.bharathagnana.com/2009/02/sadashiva-brahmendra-biography.html)


Pallavi 


Sarvam brahma mayam rE rE 
Sarvam brahma mayam 

Charanam 

Kim vachaneeyam kima vachaneeyam ..(what can be spoken what cannot be spoken)
Kim rachaneeyam kima rachaneeyam...(what can be created/written or not created/written)
Sarvam brahma mayam ...............(all belongs to Him / Brahma is everywhere)

Kim padaneeyam kima padanIyam .....(what can be read and what cannot be read)
Kim bhajanIyam kima bhajanIyam ....(what can be recited and what cannot be)
Sarvam brahma mayam ...............(are all embodiment of the Brahma)

Kim bOdhavyam kima bOdhavyam...... (what may be taught and what may not be taught)
Kim bhOktavyam kima bhOktavyam ... (what may be enjoyed and what may not be enjoyed)
Sarvam brahma mayam ...............(all of them possess Him)

Sarvatra sadA hamsa dhyAnam .......(everywhere, always immerse yourself in His worship)
Kartavyam bhO mukti nidAnam .......(will lead you to Salvation)

Sikkil gurucharan and anil srinivasan have composed the song in melodious madhuvanti!the ganjeera adds more  to the buty!! anybody who is passionate abt music and self-serch cant stop themselves getting moved by the music and lyrics of the song! i bet! 


I really wonder! almost all songs in the album, i have heard and relished the beauty of lyrics...now i know the source!!!

Bhairavi

its a random thing! jus something to share! i was jus doing my assignments while i again got obsessed with ragam bhairavi!!! i slightly started to hum the one and only song i know in bhairavi....(welll long back i lernt viribhoni varnam....but completely forgot the swarams!! im allergic to varnams! everytime gets punished for forgetting the notes :P) back to the point..so this bhairavi successfully distracted me and i entered into the world of bhairavi...started browsing abt bhairavi..discovered 2 imp facts today 

1. never knew DKP had such a butiful voice!!!! :P 

2. bhairavi has 2 dhaivathams..D1(during aarohanam) and D2(during avarohanam)...

the nishaadham is a special buty to the raga..may be thats y it has some special  charm...i don know!! sometimes i wish i knew the technicalities of each raga! i wish i could dismantle..dissect..identify..analyse! but then i also feel it doesnt make me that ignorant innocent music lover but rather a critic...but then i stil feel i shd learn the basics of swara artangements which might make me a better music lover! (greed!!!) 

stumbled upon this gr8 blog...
the writer has posted some butiful krithis in bhairavi!!! tha
nks to net...
now i get music at the clikc of a button ... not like those olden days where i used to run to musicworld and speand hrs dreaming abt those costly cds..

what a fierce ragam..it jus pierces into your heart!!!
i get similar a feeling with thodi, madhyamavaati..

eventually i found there are millions of  emotional music freaks like me..one example..

Salutations to Guru Dikshithar...who composed 7 krithis in this raga..
and for swarajathi by Shri shyama shastri..and my fav krithi yaro ivar yaro by shri arunachala kavi...

signing off for now! gotta listen more tracks on bhairavi.. 
buhbye

sun sun sun sun sun sunnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!!!

SUNNNNNNNNNNNNNraysssssssss!! into my room
crept in as an uninvited but a special guest!!

i was working on my project work ....when something attracted me outside.... usually it wil be a bright day but never could i feel the warmth...this one was very special..very warm to feel..u know how a chennaite will feel :D


i opened the curtains....felt the sun!!! warm!! realllllllly warm....it pirced itself thru the window!! strong...like a golden sword!! but turned into warm hands when it touched me...something like a long lost close friend shaking hands!! oh sun how i missed u .. i took my sweet lil nikon d40 right away... voila! i can jus take snaps of the angel creeping into my room stealthily and how she wanders around and makes herself comfortble....i cannot send how warm she is..how cosy her laps are... 




i could go out now ! and enjoy more sun and the city...when its jus welcoming spring! the first flowers would have bloomed.. waiting to see magnolia...the white sweet heart bloom itself during Spring.. !!!! 

signing off now..
got lots of work..
cheers

anyways im soon planning to write abt my scotland trip in the so called "travelogue" blog ((girl! when did u become so organised!!!))

the next silly thing was iceskating!!! and fell hard thrice that i could hardly move my limbs for couple of days! its jus moving ur feet sideways while keeping it rigidly firm..said my poor freind chris who had to lift me everytime i fell on the icey floor!

i miss travels! looks like il go for some outing this weekend! 
gotcha hols? nooooooooooo!! but loads of things to do!!

sweden i should say is  really being a crash course in learning how to be organised!!! taking my oil out!!! (( grow up kiddo!!!))))) and yea the latest challenge i have got now is to get up like half past 6 from my cosy bed in the cold and get ready for a GIS class at 8 in school ! God save my alarm! or the one who is my alarm these days!!!
