Thanks for posting my favorite ragam :)... loved the phrases - looking forward to others which I mentioned

Violin plays only on one side of the speaker.... could have been more like the Nalinakanthi track... not sure if this can be re-recorded🙏

Just happened to record my cousin Usha do an impromptu rendition of Krishna Nee Begane Baaro in the style of T Balasaraswathi - slow tempo and expressive. So I have kept the arrangement quite minimal. The raga is Yaman Kalyani

Krishna Nee Begane

Bhagyada Lakshmi

“Eppadi Than…” was written by Oothukadu Venkata Subbaiyar, and looks at life from the perspective of a devotee (of Krishna, in this song).

The song describes how once a person is devout, all they see is sweetness around them. The buzzing of bees becomes a song, Krishna’s mischief become endearing pranks, and his many heroics become awe-inspiring legends. Such is the sweetness of devotion that it transform’s the devotees experience of life in powerful ways.

Devotion has been an important part of spiritual processes in India. Stories of Radhe Krishna, Mira Bhai, and the Nayanmaars have been told and retold for centuries, and many devotees are seen as no different than the Divine.

Sadhguru says, “Devotion is not an act; it is not directed towards something or the other; the object of devotion is immaterial. It is just that with devotion, you have dissolved all the resistance in you so that the divine can transpire like breath. The divine is not an entity sitting up there; it is a living force in every moment of your life.”

Eppadi Thaan…(lyrics with meaning)

Eppadi than en ullam pugundu ennai adimai kondiro (swamy)
How did you manage to open my heart and enslave me – Oh Swamy!

Isai tharum kuzhalodu kundalam olira
Ivai tharum suvaiyodu vandinam murala

The flute sings its melodies, the earrings dazzle
Among all this sweetness, the bees sing their songs

Oppuyar illadha uthamane – oru
Uraga nadam aadum vithagane

The pure person beyond compare
He who danced atop a snake

Ulagirundha vaay thirandha padiyo
Alladhu uralodu pinaindhu irundha padiyo

He who contained the world within himself
(Referring to the incident where his mother Yashoda sees the world in his mouth)
He who was tied to the mortar

veliyil solla manam thulludhe
solla venum venum endra aasai kolludhe

The heart is unable to contain this emotion within
The heart desires to express itself

kulir oli mugam kandu naani naani – un
koi malar padathil ennai thalludhe

I feel shy looking at your cool, bright face
And am pushed towards your fresh lotus feet

Ini oru ulagam unai thavira yenak oru sugam illai yena thandhavaa
Thani oru mudi mel ilamayil nadi tharu thogai aniya thandhavaa

He who left me no comfort anywhere, except in him
He who wears a peacock feather on his head

Uri yeri kalavaadi thozharodu unakenakena thindravaa
Oorariyum munbu annaiyidam sendru ondrum ariyaadu nindravaa

He who stole butter from the pots and shared it with his friends
And ran up to his mother and stood innocently before complaints reached her
                                      – Oothukadu Venkata Subbaiyar

Eppadithan En Ullam - Carnatic Fusion Music (Sounds of Isha)

A Saranga Convergence started out from a quest initially to make a psychedelic song. However what came about was a song that had strong influences of progressive rock and time signature experiments along with a carnatic 'thillana like' melody . This whole song came about within a few hours of jamming with the musicians and remains one of our favourites.

IndoSoul
The Indian civilization has stood the test of time, welcoming and absorbing numerous cultures along the way. It has reinvented itself with every addition, but never lost its depth. In a similar vein, IndoSoul goes beyond the confines of genre, seeks out and welcomes other musical influences, while retaining its core identity of Indianness. It breaks down superficial barriers between genres, instruments, cultures, languages to bring out deep commonalities that define great music everywhere.

A Contemporary violin adaptation of Brovabarama(Thyagaraja krithi)

I have played different styles of music from traditional carnatic to film-pop. However something that I've always leaned towards is to explore the idea of propping up our beautiful classical music against various genres like pop, rock, jazz etc. So here is a song from my outfit Karthick Iyer Live. We have played Thyagaraja's krithi Brovabarama in the raga Bahudari

Do share! :) 

Covers music got a lively twist with the entrance of Karthick Iyer Live. Karthick Iyer who has played with bands and in festivals spanning almost all the continents in the world, has contemporized the existing format to suit the ever changing needs of the audiences. His concerts are known to touch every single person in the crowd, from old to new and from the laymen to the learned. He spices up his concerts with medleys of English, Tamil and Carnatic songs rolled into one. Dressed in a dazzling Moghul costume, holding a blue electric violin and armed with a compelling selection of Tamil, Hindi, English and Carnatic songs, Karthick is ready to cast a spell!
