I bow down my head with all my heart to Lord Shankara, the embodiment of divine music.

Lord Shankara is the quintessence of the celebrated Saama Veda which is the source of eternal joy. I prostrate to him again and again.

The Seven Musical Notes (Sa, Ri, Ga, Ma, Pa, Dha, Nee) Originate from the five faces of Lord Shankara namely (Sadyojaata, Vaama Deva, Tatpurusha, Aghora and Eeshana). Shankara, the destroyer of Yama (the God of Death) and the protector of the pure hearted Thyagaraja revels in the heavenly music that flows from these seven notes.
