Wow brilliant ending on G(Ni) rather A(Sa) and taking on the harmony at next G. The C, D , AMin chord apt :P. The interlude Anandha Bhairavi could have been deeper. Just knowing the sweetness of sanskrit in Rock form and loved your pronunciation. There are some corrections to be performed in lyrics you posted

Harmony - One where everything comes in sync. This composition is an example of it. Krish, this is an excellent piece!

This part makes me suddenly reflect on my life

Hearing this, sitting alone early in the morning with a cup of coffee, looking over the sun rise slowly over the tree line faraway. what a feel!.

Pakkala Nilabadi - Shweta Mohan F Bennet And The Band - M[128] (1)

The band’s first ever composition, ‘A Clown’s Junket’ represents Karthick Iyer’s first few steps as he transitioned from a being a freelance violinist to the front-man of his solo outfit. It is set in Raga Sankarabharanam (the Western major scale), one of the most fundamental scales from which many ragas have evolved. It represents the beginning of the musician’s journey, as he balances his feet, while ensuring the audience stays entertained. The chorus signifies joy that comes from reaching small goals the band set for themselves.

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.

hi all .. enjoy the medley of two beautiful songs of A.R.Rahman from the movie Indra rendered by Shylu Ravindran on guitar and Fazil Sha on keys.

A.R.Rahman Medley | Indra Mash- up| Shylu Ravindran

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.

A Carnatic fusion track.....Balaji Sivasubramanian a.k.a Lobo on the violin
Based on the song 'Nagumomu' in raag 'Abheri'.


Abheri CinCed

Two Sides of Karma takes you on a journey through the bright and dark parts of life, that the ancient Indian concept of Karma subjects us to. The emotions conveyed through the songs explore both the good and the bad of the ever-prevailing Karma. Along with IndoSoul’s original creations, you will find interpretations of two Indian Classical compositions by Saint Thyagaraja. Sit back and soak up the IndoSoul sound, that takes you through a rollercoaster of emotions encompassing joy, love and even obsession.

01 Vidaja

In the 19th century, Devaraya Swamigal wrote the Kanda Sashti Kavasam and foresaw (by almost a century) the quintessential sound of one of the world's most famous motorbikes, the Royal Enfield Bullet

Royal Enfield Kavasam

I recently started experimenting with my electric violin to create deep cello-like tones. Once I came up with a few interesting musical 'hooks', I started looking for a song to complement these, and landed on Vatapi Ganapathim, a popular Indian Classical song composed by Muthuswamy Dikshitar. I've added multiple violin and vocal layers to complete the arrangement. I'm so excited about this song, and think this kind of a homogenous arrangement with only violin and vocal tracks to back the main melody can become a theme in itself for more videos in this channel. Hope you like it!

Vatapi Ganapathim - Flow by Karthick Iyer

I take the ridiculous and the sublime, add cellos, violins, guitars and random internet collaborators to make music of sorts
