inimitabme madurai mani i was lucky to have listend to him

[@kalyanasundaramjanakiraman5003]

தோடியில் அருமையான கீர்த்தனை. இவரின் ஸ்பெஷல்

[@alamelusarma4529]

He made many keerthanas memorable. Thre way he leads the connaisor of music to sublime heights is adorable n in inimitable style.He is the only gifted singer who can dwell on simply two words for hours together raising the level of classical Swara prasthara n still keeping the listeners on their toes. Such Greats are born only in a blue moon🙏🙏🙏

[@jayasameerana1969]

Felt heavenly listening to Thaye Yashodha and niraval of Kaalinil. Such soulful rendering could be heard from such devoted great musicians like Vidwan Madurai Mani Iyer. The amazing part is the subtle support of the accompanying artistes. How they play very subtly awaiting the Vidwan to open up his manodharma. It takes me back to 1960s when Madurai Mani Iyer's concert will be held in Shri Shanmukhananda Sabha. The venue will be full. But during such times there will be complete silence and the moment the Vidwan finishes the Niraval there will be thunderous applause. Those were the days. I feel blessed to have heard all the great musicians of those days at Shree Shanmukhananda Sabha when we only knew the time cutcheri starts and not when it will end. Wow!

இந்த பாட்டு வேற லெவல் வேற என்ன சொல்ல

[@rysas7837]

There are sapta swaras and eight is mani iyer swaram... He is the incarnation of music of god

[@gopalansrirangam]

I experience presence of Yasodhe and Krishna amongst us when I listen to this Mani Iyers song!!!!! Mani Iyer song were introduced to me in London when I was a PhD student win 1972 by Sri Shankar PhD from Dublin. I shall never forget the days!!!! Dr Gopalan,Srirangam

[@sairamaswamy1583]

Listen to maharajapuram San than am also

[@rkrishnamoorthy1785]

Yes.Very much true.

[@venkataramankv3320]

Shri Madurai Mani iyer sir, mesmerising rendition of the song in Thodi ragam. I was simply wandering in the high seas.

[@venusundarrajan6514]

[@kalyanasundaramjanakiraman5003]

இதை நான் கிராமபோன் இசை தட்டில் கேட்டு இருக்கிறேன்

[@baskibaskar8219]

Only a person who has seen the god of music within himself can sing thodi (considered to be a difficult raga) like this.

[@EashwerIyer]

Agreed

[@suramash]

Only stalwarts like MM Iyer can do it. Unmatchable rendition of Thodi Raagam.

[@seshadrinoorani9616]

Those periods are really ever cherishable when audiences will be spellbound with his rendering.i9😂 N

Divine voice and excellent modulation.

[@venusundarrajan6514]

🎉🎉

[@bharathysubramanian1943]

My appreciations to Ms. Alamelu Sarma for her remarks on the ‘Thodi Raga kruthi are appreciable. Sri Madurai Mani Iyer’s yi, vu etc. also adds beauty to the song. Everyone irrespective of the person who knows Karnatic Music or not, will enjoy hearing Sri Madurai Mani Iyer’s janaranjaka music. VaazhththukkaL. - “Mandakolathur Subramanian.

[@Vishy_Maverick]

Awesome as always. King of Niraval, such lovely Swara prasthara... A True legend, Mahavidwan...🙏 Also special mention for the musicians accompanying on instruments...
