Wonderful music and fabulous production values

Is that you playing the saxophone?  Very well played

Very nice work! Look forward to a complete version :)

Akilandeshwari - A krithi in praise of Goddess Akilandeshwari, composed by Sri. Muthuswami Dikshithar in the ragam Dwijavanthi.

A song that I composed, wrote and sang. This is a track version and hopefully I will find a better singer to do justice to it and probably have another stanza too (fingers crossed :P ).

As always, please do leave your comments and if you liked it, show your love by sharing it to your friends and family.

I give below the lyrics, and a rough translation (which I think is right but if there is a mistake, please do tell so that I can correct it. :-))

Headphones or a nice speaker would be best. Laptop speakers suck! :-/

Lyrics:
pon maalai neram
Idhayam avalai azhaikkum

Poo sirikkum neram;
Manamo avalai ninaikkum

Saaral; thoovum; aval sirippil thulaindhu vida thondrum;
raagam; paadum; aval kuralil karaindhu vida thondrum;


Stanza:
---------

Nadhiyin karai manalil,
naan thaniyai..nindren...siru

kuyilgal paadum isaiyil
aval ninaivai.. konden


Maname en maname
avalai ninaithe dhinam vaadidudhe

avalai naan pirindhe
iravum pagalaai indru maaridudhe

hey penne;
nee indri;
Naan; thaviyai thavitthen!


Rough Translation:
-----------------


When the dusk is golden,
(My) heart calls out to her.

When the flower smiles,
(My) mind thinks about her

(I) want to get lost in her drizzle like smile.
(I) want to dissolve myself into her voice which sings raga*

Stanza:
------

On the sand of the river bank,
I stand all alone,

In the music sang by the small koels(cuckoo)
I found her.

Mind, oh my Mind,
withers thinking always of her.

Being away from her,
(My) nights are also becoming days.

Oh my love!
Without you;
I struggle (to live)

Lyrics and translation:

har tajurbe ko taraazuu mein rakhaa
hisaabon mein uljha rahaa

Why weigh every experience? Why be ensnared in calculating every move?

zindagii saamne aayi
to ehtraam bhii na kiyaa

Life appeared in all its glory but alas, wasn't heeded to.

ik samandar peegayaa, phirbhi.. pyaas vohii pyaas rahii
mere andar koii bagaavat si.. aag vohiii aag rahii

Drinking the ocean in its entirety didn't quench the thirst...
Inside me is a rebellious fire that doesn't abate...

Next up from my Beauty of Ragas album, Beauty of Kaanada. This is one of my favorite ragas and well I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed composing and recording it =)

Beauty of Ragas

Beauty of Kaanada

A Sanskrit adaptation of "Hurt" (originally written by Trent Reznor & made famous by Johnny Cash' haunting rendition (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vt1Pwfnh5pc)
Lyrics: @krishashok & KSKarun (twitter.com/kskarun)
This version is told from the viewpoint of Duryodhana (from Bhasa's 2nd century play Urubhanga)

Verse 1
माम् अद्य अहिंसयम् (I hurt myself today)
भावना परीक्षितुम्  (to test my feelings)
पीडाम् योजयाम्यहम् (I focus on the pain)
याम् अस्ति यथार्थम् (that is the only truth)
रंध्रं छिद्रयति सूची (the needle tears a hole)
परिचितदंशः (the very familiar sting)
यतेऽहम् हन्तुम् सर्वं (I try to destroy it all)
सर्वं स्मराम्यहम् (I remember everything)
 
Chorus
किमहम् अभवम् (What have I become?)
मधुरतम मित्र (My sweetest friend)
यान् सर्वान् जानामि (everyone I know)
अन्ते विगच्छन्ति (goes away, in the end)
त्वम् लभेथाः सर्वम् (You can have it all)
मम तृणसाम्राज्यम् (my empire of grass/dirt)
निराशा यच्छाम्यहम् (I bring tragedy)
त्वाम् व्यथयाम्यहम् (I hurt you)
 
Verse 2
कण्टक मौलिम् वहामि (I wear this crown of thorns)
आनृतकासने स्थितन् (upon my liar's chair)
हीनविचारपूर्णः (mind full of harmful thoughts)
प्रतिकर्तुम् न शक्यम् (That i cannot repair)
कालस्य कलङ्केषु (In the stains of time)
भावनाः लीयन्ते  (Feelings disappear)
अन्यः त्वमसि (You are someone else)
अहमत्रैवास्मि (I am still right here)

Picture: Duryodhana, as a character in the Bhasa play "Urubhanga", an alternative take on the Mahabharatha story where he realizes the futility of war and loses interest in empire.
