[@zorbathegreek2106]

Abhishek...all the way! His second Vagadeeshwari I'm listening to after Saranagati. What magic! ❤ Kudos to all accompanying artists for the uplifting blend. Continuing my fan journey...!

[@ramanabalachandhran]

It is rare to see musicians intensely lose themselves in naada/music. And _that_ moves. And what exquisite Naadam and contemplative playing from ARK Anna!

[@sreekarkanchinadham7828]

Shrikar G yes you are correct. Especially if we hear the thoppi and nadham,they both synchronise beautifully yet he never overpasses the main artist.That part is most difficult during accompaniment.

[@bssmurthy7636]

Anantha’s mridangam is exquicite.

[@mtshastry]

@ramana you become one with music when you sing

[@Satya622]

Truely great. I bless you with a wonderful life.

[@kaushikparasuram]

Can't seem to have enough of this masterpiece. With Vedanta at its core, and mesmerizing Vagadeeshwari and simplistic Adi thalam (Chouka) as cladding, and such amazing delivery by these fine musicians, it's like taking the perfect, all-curing pill for these times.

[@santhanamr.7345]

I have heard this Vaagadeeshwari kriti fm by many singers but this youngster outclassed every body else. His aalap is simply mesmerising nd some of d sangathis are fantastic. GOD BLESS HIM with a long long innings of singing in life.

[@bharathijagannath8198]

Terrific voice. So so melodious singing, soothes your senses, takes to another world

[@KRHSMONI]

Dear Abhisekh Raghuram, Thanks for the recent uploads. When the mind and actions are dulled by the present day restrictions relating to the Covid19 impact, the uploads came as " Amritha Varshini" bringing in coolness.

[@haricharan5383]

It's not 'Amritavarshini' sir, it's 'Vagadheshwari'

[@KRHSMONI]

Dear Haricharan, I did not mention that Paramathmudu was sung in Amritha Varshini. What I menat was that the upload was an Amritha Varshini. to our ears and mind.

[@ataindia]

This rendition by Abhishek will stay eternal....Everytime it demands once more to comeback & enjoy... Blessed Singer......fortunate to hear him....I never get tired of this...absolute beauty explaining Him 👌🙏

[@MrKanthikumar]

I tell you this young man and the mridangam man the grandsons of the great Padmashri Palghat R Raghu saar are doing a great service to our music with this last kriti of Thyagarajaswamikal. Pranams to them as well to HNBhaskar, the son of my friend Narasimhamurthy of Karnataka. I love them all. Narayanakurup Kanthikumar from the lake side town of River Islands, Calif

[@ramsundaram4615]

Also, Abhishek is grand nephew of inimitable violin maestro, Lalgudi Sir

[@raghavendrarao9919]

Elaborate exposition of rare raga. Masterly rendition supported well by accompanying artists.

[@metalmonkey101]

Appreciate the comment. Just a small clarification - Giripai Nelakonna was Thyagaraja's ultimate composition, not this one :)

[@MrKanthikumar]

@@metalmonkey101 That is news to me : I thank you for letting me know. One has to melt into paramatva as mokshom; I get it; your opened my eyes. Thanks with namaskar

[@vallikumarisomayajula1458]

Is the relation between palghat Mani Ayyar and them?

[@sangeethamenon9449]

What a beautiful rendition of Vagadeeshwari !!! Cannot go a single day without listening to this. God Bless you Abhishek. Great accompaniments too.

[@sury39]

he deserves academy award once ina way the acdemy should encourage and recognize young talents irrespective of the age

[@nairbobby]

25:49 I'll brand him a genius for just that one progression!

[@sreekanthjnv]

Really

[@manojrajappan4033]

yep, pretty awesome....thinking behind the stop, where he did ...

[@chandrashekharhs9738]

Yes. Just like Madurai Somu.

[@4326Manoj]

True....the stops are as important as progressions as well...heard TMK say that once...so ture

[@sudhamuralidharan6574]

He's a genius so reflecting

[@viswanathanvenkateswaran5456]

Awesome! Just replay and hear at "akhilaanda" the way Anantha has played! Simply a genius at work! We are fortunate to be able to listen to such absolutely brilliant youngsters!🙏🙏

[@madhubalaganapathikrishnan9544]

In love with the way abhishek anna enjoys and says "Sabhash" in between his singing! :)

[@ramsundaram4615]

Alway great to listen to this grand master. Another pride of Tamil Land. We are so blessed to listen to you.

[@shibuct8601]

A perfect one remembering KV Narayana swamy&team in the 60' s

[@mathewthomas5155]

Real Nadopasana.......

[@BhaskiV]

Excellent. I have also heard you sing on Shri Ramana Maharishi.. Vagadeeswari. சரணாகதி

[@vasudevanms4615]

I had the opportunity to listen this song by Sri Abhishek,T M K and Sanjay. All the three in their own style were amazing and outstanding. One shows variety in the raga (Sanjay) the other showing melody (Abhishek) and third showing Gambeeram (T M K).What a composition and rendering by these three musicians.Kudos to you all

[@nanarama4554]

Sanjay 56 yrs,Krishna 46, Abhishek 36 yrs.

[@sivaramiyer1003]

But Abhishek no 1..

[@bharathijagannath8198]

Yes AR no 1 without doubt

[@chandrashekharat.r2457]

[@govindarajanramanujam4548]

Those who have missed so far,should hear Abhisheks rendering of this Ragha with the Keerthanai 'Saranagathi' broadcast by Sankara TV a few years back.Great stuff.

[@RCSEKAR67]

In this time of uncertainties hearing Abhishek's rendering gives your mind and soul so much peace

[@cnvishwanathan9603]

Marvelous rendering.we continue to enjoy.god bless.y

[@hchakkera]

Supposed to be Sri Thyagaraja swamy's last composition and song..Song's meaning, Ragam Vagadeeshwari and Thyagabrahma's meaning and situation in his final stages.. very emotional!! Greatly rendered by AR! Awesome!

[@visaliganapathy8193]

Sri Thyagaraja swamy's last composition is "Giripayi Nenagona" in Ragam Sahana.

[@rameshv62]

Yes these two composition were composed (sadhu thyagaraja as mudra) after he took sanyasa just before he left mortal World.

[@bharadwajramakrishnan3314]

WHAT A BANGER! That a performance can remind me that I can have an experience of life that is more than the sum of its parts!

[@chandramoulinv5992]

Really brilliant artist. His passion for the art shows. Really outstanding rendering of Paramathmudu, The beauty of Saint Thyagraja's lyrics his devotion is outstanding.

[@MrKanthikumar]

What mridangam -- making his illustrious grandfather and his guru Abhinavanandi proud -- for ever !!! Narayanakurup Kanthikumar/River Is/Calif

[@2309suri]

marvelous ....no words to express

[@lalitajayaraman1837]

A soulful presentation by Abhishek of this krithi which explains Advaita in simple terms! H. N. Bhaskar has rendered Vagadheeswari beautifully complementing Abhishek's alapana. ARK's mridangam playing is enjoyable . However the loudness of the mridangam could be more subtle so that it does not drown the vocal singing & the violin.

[@srikau2891]

Abhishek is awesome as always...HNB is brilliant...

[@mukundbharadwajL]
