Namaskaram
We are glad to share the Kriti of Sri Tyagaraja "Telisi Raama Chintanato".
In this song Sri Tyagaraja conveys the message that one should understand the real meaning of the word and then contemplate on it.
He advocates atleast for few minutes let one shut his external world and contemplate on the real meaning of Rama.
In this modern world we are so busy with our Mobile phone, Whatsapp, Facebook, etc., let us all keep aside for few minutes of our time in a day and contemplate on the true meaning of the Lord and try to realize him.
We are glad to share this as a First Song on this New Year. What a Message from Sri Tyagaraja for all of us.
Sri Tyagaraja aradhana is round the corner, let us hear more and more of his compositions.
We have shared two audio / video link sung by Sri Madurai Mani Iyer and Sri Neyveli Santhana Gopalan.
Happy Music Season!!
