Genius ! Raghu sir 🙏

[@sankarN84]

Perhaps the most complicated thani ever played in history !

[@Violinmysoul]

A great doyen he was and he will be of rhythm instrument 'mrudangam' specialised in gumki🙏🙏🙏

[@varadharajanranganathan3761]

Can't tire of watching this. Rishi, i can't thank you enough for this. DKJ's body language is simply amazing. He seems truly thrilled by PR's brilliance. PR = Palghat Raghu = PRecision

[@muralikrishnak570]

Can't close my eyes and just relax ..!! amazing shri PR...

[@shankarprasad5767]

The one. The only. The wizard. Raghu sir.

[@girnat01]

Sheer magic by the one and only Raghu sir. Thanks a ton, Rishi, for uploading this!

[@varadharajanranganathan3761]

This genius called PR makes it look like there is an yuga-long time within an anudhrutam 😊 is it just me?

[@rameshmathrubootheswaran1639]

🙏🙏🙏

[@vijayrk7329]

Always find ut hard to grasp what Raghu sir plays

[@varadharajanranganathan3761]

What a treat.. been lookin for this for a few years now. After getting spoilt - watching this quite regularly for a few years almost everyday.. i was heartbroken when i couldnt find it online anymore. I understand there are some concerns about permissions. If its taken down also, i will understand..

[@RishiManoharan]

Dearest Sir, so good to hear from you. Yes there are some concerns regarding permissions. I can privately send it to you if I am told to take this down.

[@varadharajanranganathan3761]

​​@@RishiManoharanat around 8:50, what is PR signaling to (someone) in the audience.. with his right hand, circling clockwise? Any guesses. What my mind comes up with, is not quite comforting..

[@RishiManoharan]

@@varadharajanranganathan3761 not sure Sir. Maybe just telling someone about the audio.

[@krish5974]

@@RishiManoharan I think because Sri V Suresh plays the korvai played by Palghat Raghu so may be he says it symbolically. No offence to anyone. Please don't take it seriously.

[@varadharajanranganathan3761]

​@@krish5974i had a similar guess.. was a bit hesitant to say it 😊

[@balamuralib4034]

Dear Rishi, came to know about your arangatram. All the best.

[@RishiManoharan]

Thank you so much Sir. Means so much

[@dearmrkiran]

How long have we hoped for this! Was this part of Sri. David Nelson's dissertation, where he has transcribed 5 Thanis from as many artists for the same Kruthi?

[@RishiManoharan]

Yes, this is from the same collection

[@RishiManoharan]

Really humbled to get a comment from you. Have seen your comments across the internet and never thought I’d get a comment from you! And a fellow Bhagavan devotee too!

[@varadharajanranganathan3761]

What is this 5 thanis for same kruthi? Who are the other vidvans who have played for this kruthi? Are they also available? Very curious. Tried to look up Sri. Nelson on YT. Indeed, a few returns came. Who did he learn from?

[@tmdelete1308]

Sir can you upload the full concert

[@RishiManoharan]

Sadly I don't have it.
