"AKHILANDESWARI" - by Sriranjani and Vignesh Ishwar

A MUSICAL NAVARATRI- Day 4- "Akhilandeswari"
This Navaratri day, Vignesh Ishwar and I bring to you, "Akhilandeswari Rakshamam" in the Raga Dwijavanthi, a grand composition of Sri Mutthuswamy Deekshitar.
I cannot describe how much I enjoyed singing with Vignesh in the beautiful space, "Shamkaram" in Besant Nagar. A perfectly tuned Tanpura, a hall with perfect acoustics, rustic decor, a beautiful composition and two like- minded musicians made it an unforgettable evening!
Check out my KZbin channel for the full recording: / srisan89
As always, share the music, spread the joy!
Wish you all a very happy Navaratri!

You two just sit on a bench with a tanpura, wave your hands just like that, render a classic piece…. and think it will not make people cry!

soulful....Listening to a Diskhitar masterpiece with Tanpura Sruthi as the main accompaniment....ecstasy.....

[@TV-er6xl]

Dwijanthi ! This is the rarest , sweetest ragha in Karnatic music world This is the master piece of Saint Muthuswamy Dikshithar.. Both of them rended it excellently !

[@BalakrishnanV]

Very good. Great to listen to this masterpiece of Dikishitar rendered so well. Being from Trichy this song has a special appeal for us and I vividly recall my sister sing this beautifully at the Sannidhi of Ambal.

[@srinidhis9957]

Very beautiful dynamic dwijavanti! Heard a new, swift and crisp dimension of it, in the sloka part. Graceful & delicate handling of the raga by both you guys! Pranams :)

[@ashasreenivas]

The tamburi nadam is amazing. It has added richness and beauty to the krithi both sriranjini maam and Vignesh sir have rendered this very beautifully ❤️❤️❤️👍👍👌👌

[@ravishankar7000]

I always remember maharaja puram santanam whenever I hear this kriti ....but after a long time listening this kriti in other voice...the duo have really done justice to the raga and vilamba kriti

[@lalithagudipati1698]

Dwijavanthi raga itself is very soothing. Dikshitar's composition is wonderful . The two artists did full justice to both . 🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@ItsShankz]

Sublime... beautifully rendered by two silken voices. Tampura volume was a bit high. It could have been a bit softer.

[@bhavananarayan8127]

This is so sublime! :) one of the most beautiful renditions of Dwijavanthi

[@64Sunanda]

Wow wow wow....so soothing

[@pvgpalvar]

Nice voice..both are complemented each other very beautifully 👋👋👋

[@mkrangachar]

Excellent with melodious voice. The sloka also very soothing. Thank u for sharing. God bless you my children.

[@BMerker]

Truly beautiful! Sung with such taste, simplicity, and exquisite artistry. Thank you!

[@nchandrasekaran7915]

This is a master piece from Saint MD that is soaked in bhakthi and total devotion, almost a blissful surrender. Signature piece of MS Amma to boot. With such a pedigree behind this krithi, full justice has been done by Sriranjani & Vignesh. Simply awesome! Just felt that the volume on the tampura was an override on the sahitya at certain places and could have been toned down overall or adjusted post recording. May be Vignesh could have attempted a slightly higher scale for an evenly poised/matched presentation.

[@r.seethalakshmi3638]

Beautiful voices

[@raajumohan1]

Very nice & soothing music! God bless you 🙏

[@lakshmanm320]

Stay blessed both of u Good krithi and very divine

[@ShanShan-ei8sw]

Vignesh ishwar sounds exactly like TMK Garu fantastic singing by both young talented artists

[@7d2h3an9d8]

Continuing ..... .......enjoying the singing of Sriranjani , making a comment is not of place . The listener is enwrapped in her soulful bhaavam presentation.

[@bhaskarbulusu]

Singing this kriti in slow speed shows the real talent and breath control. Very beautifully rendered. Heard KVN sing this kriti in this slow speed.

[@kaladwarakanath5503]

This song is always sung at a slow speed. It's supposed to be.

[@kokilavaidyanathan]

Omg this is simply superb. My most favorite song and soo beautifully rendered. I had tears watching. Blissful tears ... thank you 🙏😘

[@srinivasangkailasam8952]

Melodious to say the least. The Tanpura accompaniment adds to the Blissful atmosphere. Akhilandeswari in Raaga Dwijawanti and Jambupathe in Raaga Yaman , both Hindustani Raagas. Was it coincidence that Dikshitar composed in the Hindustani Raagas?

[@sughandhisrik5397]

Very nice sriranjani. It is very melodious in ur voice. While listening, tambura volume is high. It overtakes both ur voice. Just a suggestion, reducing volume of tambura will bring both of ur voices nd the beauty of the song with its melody. I am Suganthi, ur first rasiga, hope u remember, u my favorite singer.

[@mangalamviswanathan4822]

Me too. I’m. Mangala the same suganthiis saying all the best sriranjani

[@geethasrinivasan4329]

Apart from singing, I appreciate her smiling face and கண்ணை உறுத்தாத dress sense. She broke the norms of carnatic musicians wearing costly silk sarees with gold and diamond jewelleries.

Wow! It would be great if you both can perform together!

[@varshau4451]

Dwi joy!!

[@ladysiva]

Wow… mesmerizing!!! Thanks for posting such a beautiful kriti. IMO, Dwijavanthi should be called morning raga, not Bhoopalam. If I had an MP3 version of this song, I’d play it every morning as soon as I wake up

[@anugirishmegha2096]

Awesome. Tanpura volume was bit high. Excellent voice. I liked it very much. This is one of my favourite raga

[@sreelisuresh1650]

Very nice concept and rendered beautifully Sriranjani.

[@sriranjanis]

Thank you

[@purushothamagowda1742]

Soul soothing rendition., 👌👌👍✌️

[@savithrigopalan6350]

Great As someone mentioned keep the volume of sruti little subdued Otherwise it is very soothing and pleading. Waiting for more

[@sreevi1]

Beautiful rendition. Very soulful. But I think the tampura volume kind of over powers both yours that doesn’t take away anything from your singing but there are parts where I really wished the tampura was a little softer. God bless you both in abundance in your musical journey.

[@sriranjanis]

Noted, thank you!

[@padmakantheti560]

Agree fully

[@kaladwarakanath5503]

Agree.

[@bhadrinathvenkatachar2792]

Please read it as after a long time...

[@gayathrikeshavan6417]

I have always enjoyed vocal singing without the accomplishment of violin and mridangam. The accompanying instruments add more sound and shadows the melody of the song . It is more peaceful this way to hear the beauty of the ragam and the song. I like the instruments individually .

[@kanakangi]

Lovely. Melodious. A little reduction in sruti box volume would be better
