On the occassion of Pandit Anindo Chatterjee's birthday, Ustad Zakir Hussain was invited to perform a tabla solo at the Ramakrishna Mission in Kolkotta. Ramesh Mishra does a superb job accompanying on sarangi. 
Remixed with the addition of Marianne Li playing guitar-sitar.

Note from Marianne:
I like to end my day playing along with Zakir Hussain every night... by sure he will never know that... I enjoy a lot learning indian music from such an amazing musician like Zakir... thank you for all this great music, dear Master... Namasté.

One of the most popular works of Sripadarajaru is Madhvanama. This is a kannada poem extolling Vayu Devaru and his three incarnations. As the auspicious Madhwa Navami is fast approaching, let us spend some thoughts on this great work. It follows the structure of Shri Hari Vayustuthi and was composed by Sripadarajaru for the benefit of those who don’t know Sanskrit and/or are not allowed to recite the Vayustuthi. In this short but potent work Sripadarajaru has not only captured the essence of the Hari Vayustuthi but also embedded several key, and not so well known concepts, as well as incidents from Ramayana and Mahabharata.

One has to remember that Sripadarajaru was an amsha of Dhruva, an aparoksha gyani, a very great scholar and the vidya-guru of Sri Vyasarajaru. So, his description of Vayudevaru and his three incarnations is bound to be complete and flawless. He has infused this stotra with pristine bhakti and gyana. So, in terms of spiritual content and value, it is worthy of adoration and worship. The fact that another great aparoksha gyani – Sri Jagannatha Dasaru – has written the phala-stuti of this work is a testimony to its potence and greatness.

This Madhwa nama told by Sripadarajaru will destroy all sorrows, provide all types of happiness and well-being, and in addition, will show you Shripati Jagannatavittala and take you out of this well (or ocean) called samsara.

Lyrics and meaning: isha.sadhguru.org/Thevaram
 
Thevarams are devotional hymns sung in praise of Shiva by the 3 Nayanmars: Sambandar, Thirunavukkarasar and Sundarar. Rendered in an ancient musical style that precedes most Indian classical music systems, these songs give us an insight into the wave of bhakti that swept across southern India during the 7th Century. In this album, children of Isha Samskriti have rendered a select few Thevaram, as an offering to today’s world. 

The Nayanmars travelled the length and breadth of South India, predominantly in current day Tamil Nadu, and the temples in this region find a place in their songs. The 275 temples mentioned in Thevaram are referred to as “Paadal Petra Thalam,” which literally means “the temples that were sung in the verses”. The singing of Thevaram is still an active process in many Shiva temples in Tamil Nadu.  

When Sundarar was to be married, it is said the Shiva, disguised as an old man, interrupted the process and claimed that he was pledged to serve him. Disbelief was rife, and Sundarar called him a madman, or a “Pithan”, denying he belongs to him. The ascetic proved his claim by a written manuscript and whisked Sundarar away from his own wedding. That man was Shiva himself. Upon realizing Shiva’s true form, Sundarar composed this Thevaram, lamenting continuously to Him, “How can I not be yours?”

Sundarar was an 8th century poet from Thirunavalur, Tamil Nadu, and one of the Nayanars - the Shiva bhakti poets of Tamil Nadu. His origin's can be traced back to Bharadwaj who is one of the famed Saptarishis. Sundarar himself, travelled to many Shiva temples in South India and composed close to 1000 poems, which are compiled in the Thirumarai – a compilation of Poems on Shiva.
