RaGA CANDID EP12 - Our Aradhana in Tiruvaiyyaru

[@vrajit52]

Divine intervention Two simple girls from Mumbai, trained meticulously by a great Guru and with a firm grounding go with great expectations to play on the violin at Satguru Thyagaraja’s abode in Tiruvayyaru not realising there is a protocol but end up playing at the Sannidhi. And in a few minutes they are called not to play the violin but to sing on stage! If this is not divine intervention, then what is it? The decision of a future course was taken on that day by Satguru Thyagaraja himself! We rasikas in turn are a blessed lot to be enabled to listen to that divine Music! And the proof of that was in the nuanced Nagumo with which the episode began. What a rendition! You’ve become Pros at effortlessly dishing out profound statements in a simple manner. A lot to learn - on following the footsteps of a Guru, imbibing every advice, the girlish delight to partake even today in the Aradhana inspite of a celestial status and the acknowledgement of a Mother’s solid support. You are role models for younger talent. Not a streak of arrogance and a ‘know all’ attitude. Apart from some great Music, these episodes are bringing rasikas closer to you. There are no inhibitions whatsoever! Smiling faces, elegant looks, vibrant colours, harmonious and joyous Music are becoming integral to these shows. Such a pleasure. Sabaash!

Excellent Compliments from U Sri Ajit Kumar Jee to the inspiring Music Duo which never exaggerated a word, but expressed the whole Truth, Truth only.

[@vrajit52]

Thank you!

[@srikalarengarajan3119]

Agree with every word said here. You spoke my thoughts too. Thank you Ajit Kumar ji🙏😊

[@sharanyavijayalakshmy8271]

Very true. They are our inspiration! And I would like to add another adjective, they are benevolent❤. We all love and adore you RAGA mam

[@teepee431]

Right on.

[@7236kal]

Enjoyed the blissful rendering of this great composition of Saint Thyagaraja.

[@MsUdaya]

I have goosebumps n tears at a time as they share their experience singing at Sri Tyagaraja Swami’s Sannidhi 🙏🏻💖

[@jayavenkateswaran13]

As you recalled your memories, I was reminded of my two daughters, aged 11 and 7 years in 2010, singing in front of Sri Thiagaraja Swamy sannidhi. They sang Palluke bangara Makena krithi. They are still continuing carnatic music and our family is a great admirer of you both. Thank you

[@HaardikGanesan]

Wow !! What a abheri!! Nagumomu =abheri Abheri =nagumomu I watched the whole concert of RAGA sisters The arabhi and thodi was fantastic and the neraval in “raga rasika raga rahita Thyagaraja bhagadeya “ was superb !! Thank you mam !! A beautiful candid!! Thyagaraja namaste 🙏🏻

[@hemashasta4750]

This has been the most touching , revealing and inclusive program. It felt like you were talking to me personally. Thank you.

[@rohietgarud2488]

Its really something different vibes you feel while performing in front of saints or Gods. On one of my tour to Gujarat, I went to a place, famous for Shri.Dattatrey temple and wanted to perform there but unfortunately temple get closed till I reach in night. But as per acharya there told me to sit n play at Samadhi temple of Sri Vasudevanand Saraswti on the bank of River Narmada. After playing for around an hour n half, acharya came near to me and gave me a shawl which was placed on Samadhi for a day, as a prasadam to me. It was immense pleasure and blessing to get it as prasadam.

[@carnaticcentre277]

14:03 what you said is really correct..Tyagaraja swami and with other God blessed you .... I THINK SADGIRU TYAGARAJA SWAMI RAISED his hand on your head AND BLESSED 😊🙏🙏

[@srilaramanujam9040]

You are so coordinated in your thought processes too.... Amazing the way you present your thoughts..... Seamlessly intertwined

[@anithasathiyanarayanan4953]

Akkas humble pranams..This year for me also thyagaraja has blessed me and made me sing pancharathnams for 3 times in this Jan...feeling blessed to share this with you

[@HaardikGanesan]

Carnatic music teaches , how to live a beautiful & a disciplined life !!!! Namaskaram Ranjani mam & Gayatri mam!!

[@chikkannaputtanna1966]

Nice of you to have shared your experiences about your first ever Tyagaraja Aradhana visit and celeberations. I feel that every day is Sadguru's Aradhana for both of you while practising going by the amount of Devotion and clarity of presenting Thyagaraja's compositions in your unique style in concerts.

[@lakshmig72]

Great insights RaGa. Absolutely agree that learning in any field including music happens in every situation. Your concert @Chowdaiah on 2-2-2020 was awesome. Hope to attend many more of it. Had people who did not know Carnatic music that well, enjoying the evening. God bless you.

[@lakshmialwan1818]

Yes, that day... The hall was full.. and with 15mins late... I was standing with no seats to sit...!!!! That's how your concerts goes.. and we immerse and enjoy it.. soooper sisters...

[@lakshmialwan1818]

Especially that song of kambhoni... Kandu kandu nee enna..... I cried literally...!!👌👌👌👌👌👌

[@rajeshmeera]

Thanks for Sharing this moment , have never been to the Thiravayaru temple ,but now after hearing your experience ,will visit soon. Thanks ,Godbless you RAGA

[@vyasakaveendra7510]

Ladies, Always pleasure listening to you. I am a Telugu man from Munganda village, Konaseema, few KM away from legendary BMK’s native. You can conveniently utter ‘ Prakkala instead of Pakkala as uttered by BMK which is perfect, literal Prakruti while Pakkala is slang Vikruti

[@tharunkumardhanasekaran2749]

Just look at the excitement beaming through your faces! Though I have never been to Thiruvaiyyaru, your super-vivid description of the festival was so delicious to the mind; I've had my share of the sublime feeling through this video! The Nagumomu was brief, but lovely. Such an adorable Kharaharapriya moment too! I really adore the way both of you compliment each other just through simple glances and smiles - it shows how much respect and admiration you have for each other's styles and musical thought processes. Waiting for another Raga Candid! I would love to see a ragamalika swara battle in which both of you try to guess each other's ragas in a rapid fire. It would truly be a dream come true for RaGa rasika like me!

[@SVSwamy]

Sai Ram. As you so rightly said, your visit to Tyagaraja Swami Sannidhi was a booster - not only for you two, but through you two, to the recipients of the divine music - like us. Especially speaking about myself, I am ZERO as far as music knowledge is concerned, but am sensitive to energy that comes in different forms including music. Today, my spinal chord was vibrating with energy when you two were sharing your experiences and singing. May Sadguru bless you. As your elder, my blessings to you and as Her child, my prostrations to the Divine Mother who showers us with the nectar of divine music through you two.

[@adityamurali9477]

Akkas, you are truly blessed by Shri Thyagaraja Swamy with blissful and soulful music... Thyagaraja Swamy’s compositions are truly gems of Carnatic Music and as you rightly said, they give you valuable life lessons; guidelines to becoming a good human being. Pakkala Nilabadi is as special to me as it is to you, it has given me goosebumps and hearing you singing it was just...wah wah! I truly and sincerely wish I was able to attend the Aradhana but duties and daily routines make me unable to do so. But thank you so much for brightening up my Monday evening! Also Brochevaarevare, Neerajakshi Kamakshi, the Simhendramadhyamam RTP (the Sindhubhairavi cum Mohanakalyani was astounding, mind blowing!), Raghuvara Tumko and Roop Pahata Lochani was absolutely spell-binding! Love you both! ❤️❤️❤️😍😍😍💛💛💛

[@humanmind7631]

Melodious Nagumomu without any accompaniments. The title music of this series is also very captivating. Thank u very much.

[@carnaticcentre277]

Excellent...how you are singing like this....amazing...what a SRUTI LAYA...this krithi when you are singing....my hear are under cool water....what a feelings ...my eyes are filled tears of happiness....

[@sriharibv4499]

You both are thagyaratnas ... 🙏.. 24th January is purandaradasa jayanthi .. looking forward you to talk about the sangeetha pithamaha in the next episode.. thank you ..

[@sankarasubramanian6774]

The most adorable pair of sisters. Aw !!! You both are so cute and this session was totally awe inspiring. Keep it up akkas .

[@kiranurn.subramanian3441]

Amazing story of the sisters going to Thiruvaiyaru to attend the Thyagaraja Aradhana and play violin, but ending up singing also!

[@Gauri13prasad]

I just saw this episode yours on FB post. I saw it when this was posted of YT first. I was so emotional hearing you both sing. It was surreal for me too hearing you talk. Just out of the world. I loved every second of it. I loved the way Gayatri, said ‘chakkani’ like a little child. I hugged you mentally. God bless you both lovely sisters. ❤

[@rishikaranganath4966]

Was searching for your rendition of Nagumomu and finally got to hear and see it in the episode of Raga Candid😊Thanks a lot akkas,it was so melodious indeed👏And thanks for sharing your Thyagaraja Aaradhana experience🎶

[@radhakantimathi8735]

Aw !! Such a great eye opening episode . Tyagaraja swami is the greatest composer . You both described the memories so nicely . And the memory when gayatri mam spoke of the first time you played in the aradhana . Definitely it would have been the most exciting moment and imagining your tender fingers eager to grab the violins and get out of the car , oh brings back so many old memories and will remain reminiscent always . When you both speak , the memories spring up beautifully . Pakkala nilabadi is a old gold . A golden composition and masterpiece immortalised by you two . It's so wonderful when gayatri mam starts the first phrase of kharaharapriya. And you both are glowing here with beauty . Those sarees look gorgeous and gayatri Mam's kalamkari blouse . Looks so gorgeous and dashing on her . 😁😁😁

[@s.chandrashekar7845]

👌👌👌👌 Great. Your singing creates positive vibrations ,emotions....... Thank you for sharing your plesent experiences. Nagumomu,Pakala nilbadi 👌👌👌👌.The journey shared by you is so interesting that it's as if I have experienced it.My wish is to attend the tyagaraja swami's celebrations.

[@rupakartik9758]

Such a beautiful experience!! I got goosebumps as I watched this candid video... Saint Sri Thyagaraja indicated that vocal music was the way ahead for RaGa sisters.... Awesome... You are indeed blessed!! Stay blessed and spread more happiness and peace through music... !!

[@ananthnithy9614]

Hello Ra Ga mam's...it has been some kind of a boost to listen to one of the favourite of mine Nagumomu Ganaleni. What a wonderful composition and what a feel of ur singing..hats off mam's really superb....In addition, singing in aaradhana itself is already a blessing but singing Infront of The Highness of Satguru Shri Tygaraaja 🙏🙏🙏is another overwhelm blessings which both of u reserves too😇😇..Satguru had already decided to make u both to sing and he makes that happened..Pranams to Satguru 🙏🙏🙏

[@sabanatesansubramanian]

What ever song both of you sing you both go into life& spirit of the song which raise goosebumps in listeners. May god bless both of you

[@raghunandansrinivasan773]

Thank you for sharing your Divine experiences of Sadguru Thyagaraaja Swami aaradhana! While both of you wanted to 'play' violin there, Thyagabrahma enacted His Divine play! It was an excellent experience to listen to the two great kruthis.

[@sundar1506]

Blissful … don’t have anymore words.. Nagumomu is one of my favourites!

[@Akshay.Ramanathan]

Wow what a precious Nagumomu. RaGa candid is like a vitamin boost in itself, every Monday! I know where and when I'm going when I get my time machine - that violin tribute, at his sannadhi, when your timeline took that important turn! And that tale about your mother and the powerful metaphor was so moving :') Thank you so much for sharing!

[@lakshmikrishnan4637]

Nagumomu a Divine Krithi which you both rendered beautifully🎼🙏🙏 Thanks a lot. Sharing your experience at Thiruvayyaru Thyagarajar Aradhana festival makes me feel like that I personally imagine how wonderful experience you both must have had. Pakkala Nilabadi is another great Krithi. Hats off to you both. Thank you RaGa mam👍🙏🎶

[@buvanaramachandran83]

Nagumomu..... evergreen Divine Thiyagaraja Kirthi ...lovely singing RaGa

[@malathynarayanan6078]

You are blessed to sing at Thayagaraja aradhana.you both are deserved.nagumo- wonderful rendition byRaGas.For children- moms are pillars of strength. Thanks for sharing thyagarajar aradhana celebrations.

[@sandybal143]

Lovely listening to you. Happy to note that you learnt the violin from Krishnaswamy maamaa whose granddaughters are very close friends of mine. I started learning music from his daughter Mrs. SHANTA Sethuraman. Brought back my childhood memories of learning music.

[@sbaskaran7638]

Your tribute to your Mother is touching. Keep going. We are enjoying.

[@gayathriveluri8811]

So beautifully sung nagumomu akkas! Another song to my repeat list!!!! And so wonderful to hear your experience at thiruviyur! Both of you are indeed destined to take the face of carnatic music vocals to another level, the divinity and the complexity of your renditions is just mind boggling 🙏🤩 my sincere pranams to you both akkas. To many many more wonders to be created by you both in the world of carnatic music! 🙏

[@ಸಜ್ಜನಮನು]

This is the first time im listening Nagumomu from u sisters many times i searchd in utube also. Today im very happy thank u so mach for sharing Aradana experience

[@pradyumna8725]

There are people who binge watch shows, and then there's me binge watching all the Ra-Ga candid episodes for the second time after a gap🙈 This was the first candid that I watched two years ago💛

[@vijisam28]

such an overwhelming episode... And thank you so much for nagumomu keerthana my favourite... It's true that Thyagaraja swami paved a path to both of you (Swami liked koliche muchhata and the dedication of you duo) and gave us legendary vocalists..... 😍 😍 😍 🙏🙏.. Viji

[@sindhusuchethan3612]

Namaste RaGa Maams..We keep inspired not only with your Music but also with your life experiences...the cultural values you have and the way you look at it!! Thanks for bringing light to our lives❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@sumathirao4011]

Unfolding your memories was so heart touching! The episodes gets over so quickly and how I wish that every day is a Monday. We are longing to hear your violin too in some of your episodes.Thank u so much.

[@priyaviswanathan21]

What a beautiful episode detailing your association with the aradhana at Tiruvaiyaru. You have truly mastered the art of story telling and every time I feel that I'm on your fantastic journey with you. Both of you take such pleasure in recounting your stories that are generously peppered with humor, mimicry, joy, giving each other space and of course melodious music. It is just wonderful to watch. Lately, my favorite thing to look forward to is that look you give each other before you merge your music into one during concerts being duplicated just before you say in unison "See you next week..." It's just adorable! God bless! By the way, the vitamin dosage is apparent. You both definitely look refreshed :)

[@pm.venkatachalam850]

RA GA all the best. I enjoy your performance. And also RA GA candid. You tell about your guru is very interesting. Your experience sharing is very interesting. Keep going. I love your voice.

[@sanpanchapakesan7654]

Again I cried today. What a composition? _Nagumo mohanalea...._ I love this composition, by Kaarakuruchi AruNchalam (one of the Naadhaswaram greats). You both also sang superbly. 🙏🙏🙏

[@ramaaguntur7376]

Your singing career was destined on that stage at that moment!!!!

[@lakshmikalpathi8652]

Goosebumps and tears this time listening to Nagumomu ❤️ Love listening to your happy anecdotes and experiences. Thanks so much..! Looking forward to next Monday!

[@shubzlol]

From the event mentioned in this episode and few of those mentioned in the previous ones about your budding period, I could see that you were super passionate and quite focused in music with minimal distractions or procrastination. It had already become your life. The determination to be associated to music is what brought you to His Sannidhi. This should be keenly understood by upcoming generation for whom digital media and fame is all they aim for. The passion in those days were pure and for self. Things are changing. Thanks for bringing this up. I hope this message reaches the entire world. You are an asset to the musical world

[@seshadrisubramanian]

Aha...Nagumomu sans violin and mridangam was so beautiful! Just to be in the sannidhi of the Saint is a blessing of a life time.Good episode.

[@ashacs1673]

[@shivaranjaniramagovindan]

Namaskarams Ma'am! What could I say.. Rather how could I express what is going on inside me after this particular episode... OMG!! Should I reverberate the Bhakthi of The Sathguru through His compositions or reverberate your singin/ rendition.. Needless to say Bhakthi is imbibed in your rendition.. I experienced mixed emotions listening to you today.. Goosebumps, wet eyes... All because, I simply felt being THERE and spellbound..

What divenly rendition. In kalaivizha your sung the song ramanai still echoes in my tears. Henceforth I won't miss any of your concerts in Chennai. I wish to procure all the albums of you and hear them continuously and regularly because it takes me direct to the divinely abode with peace and happiness to the soul and mind. Thank you sisters and God bless you both.

[@meenasubramanian8584]

Great sharing Sisters. Blessed is your Mother for being blessed with Goddess Saraswathi like daughters.Good wishes to you both!

[@ramyaathreya8328]

What a beautiful episode this was!! Honestly nagumo and pakkala touched my heart You both were absolutely right about the lyrics. It's very important to understand what we are singing because truly it gives us a lot more joy and happiness while singing Another thing that I noticed was Gayatri akkas beautiful kalamkari blouse So lovely!!! ♥️♥️

[@swethakannan2031]

Nice of you both to share your beautiful experiences at Thiruvaiyaru. I had the pleasure of visiting the place for the first time this year. As a music rasika, it was a great feeling to be there on the banks of Kaveri, listening to the strains of Pancharatna keertanas wafting through the air.

[@ramachandrankv7321]

Rendering during Aradhana season is superb. Expecting more and more of this kind.

[@sukanyaashwin]

Wow nagumomu rendition was fantastic as usual , pakkala nilabadi was soooooo beautiful, now will need to look for the full rendition on yt !!! It’s really unbelievable that the Raga sisters manage to render songs every single time with so much perfection and class ! Pranams🙏🙏🙏

[@ersonali12]

Is it because it's the ragamu or the way they've rendered? Heard several renditions of this song and my personal favourite is MS Amma's rendition. After hers it has to be this without any pakka vadhyam. Thank you for helping many of us beat Monday blues. Must have heard it several times to pep up my day. :)

[@bmvarun2316]

You took us to Tiruvayyaru sailing through nostalgic memories of music and life.

[@Shaanகற்பகம்]

Wow! Superb ! Amazing to listen to you both sing harmoniously 😊🙏! Really warm and touching memories! Thanks for sharing! Strong basement 😃! Your talks are as spiritual as musical 👍! And so nice to see you have absorbed and insist on the lyrics and meaning being right !! Vaazhga valamudan! Saint Tyagaraja time period may be more accurate to be referred to as 200 years back than 300 years back 🙂!

Cherished memories 👌👌RaGa keep enthralling us with your soulful music 💜💜

[@Airnewstrichy]

Dear RaGa, Your memories about Tiruvaiyaru and Thyagaraja Aradhanai were so absorbing and beautiful. Thank you for sharing them with us. This year I too had the fortune of listening to your Arabhi and Todi from the stalls of AIR, where I hurriedly filed my first news story on Venkaiah Naidu's inaugural speech and stood excitedly to listen to your music. I had wanted to come and meet you later. But then there were calls for more details, sound bytes...so on and so forth that I reluctantly had to do with listening and enjoying!!! Thank you Ra Ga for such joyous moments that make life enjoyable!!! Dr K Parameswaran, Kedaram, Bilathikulam Road Kozhikode 673 006.

Hearing to Nagumomu & Pakkala Nilabadi from u rite the first thing on the monday is so amazing & refreshing. As Honorable Vice President said Carnatic Music should be installed in every person from childhood. I feel so bad for not having an opportunity to learn music in my childhood due to lack of facilities & opportunites. Chakkani Rajamargamu - as you said it resonates to what Ranjani akka said "follow your passion with sincerity & rest follows you" Congratualtions for the amazing and memorable concert ar Gayana Samaja on Saturday. Still lingering the magical Malayamarutham, Kalyani & kalyanavasantha rtp. So soulful and divine renditions 🙏 Question: Does the treatment of a specific Raga changes by the composer. ex Saint Tyagaraja Swamy vs Saint Muttuswamy percieved a raga in different style.
