As a tribute to the utterly wonderful HBO series True Detective, this remix explores the similarities between the show's underlying theme of time being a flat circle and the Indian idea of Moksha, the release from that very circle of vicious repetition. 

So I took Thyagaraja's hauntingly brilliant "Mokshamu Galada" where he wonders if there is ever going to be Moksha without knowledge, and blended The Handsome Family's "Far from any road", the theme song of the show with it. 

Played on the following instruments
1. Yamaha C40 Classical guitar
2. Hofner beginner Cello
3. Electric violin

The raga is "Saramathi" which well into fits into the A minor key of the theme song

Far From Moksha

A Sanskrit adaptation of Rains of Castamere that makes a connection between the historical arc of Kashmir in 1947 and the destruction of Castamere in the GRR Martin's Song of Ice and Fire

Lyrics by SP Suresh (https://twitter.com/vajrabhrt)

अथ कस्त्वम् कुतो वन्द्यः ?
मानी प्रभुरवादीत् 
Who are you now, who deserves such respect (and obeisance)? 
So said the proud Lord 

उभावपि सिम्हौ रुचिरेव भिन्ना 
इदमेव तथ्यं जानामि
We are both lions, only the sheen is different! 
This is the truth that I know!

सुवर्णम् रक्तम् वा भवतु चर्म 
नखाः समाना एव! 
मम तु दीर्घास् तीव्राश्च  
त्वदीयेभ्यस् तीव्रतराः
Let the skin (sheath) be gold or red, 
the nails are similar! 
Mine are long and sharp  
Sharper than yours!  

इत्यवोचत् इत्यवोचत् 
काश्मीररजः  
So he said, so he said, the King of Kashmir

अद्य तु शून्या तत्सभा 
विलापवृश्टिस्तस्याम् 
Now his court is deserted 
And there is a rain of tears in it
