It's such a blessing to listen to your glorious tribute to Maha Periyava Shri Chandrashekharendra Saraswati Mahaswamiji on his Jayanti today. The composition in Madhuvanti is so meditative, one can feel His Divine presence just listening to it. May Jagadguru's blessings be with you and family always.🙏

[@mridulam4544]

Subhalakshmi Ma'am, I heard you mention in an interview once that women violinists are not easily accepted. The same sentiment was vehemently emphasised by Charumathi Ma'am also. But all of us music lovers (especially Carnatic music, and particularly violin) are united in our conviction that you are a formidable genius. (Sornalatha Ma'am included.) You both and Charumathi Ma'am have already dominated the Carnatic violin stage. You have been acknowledged, accepted and respected for your incomparable musical achievements. I don't think any male musician would dare to be chauvinistic with the three of you. On the contrary, I feel certain that a common male vocalist would not have the guts to consent to being accompanied by any of you. So please don't allow gender thoughts to overcome your mind, Ma'am. What we look forward to and love is your music, not gender. Personally, how I wish I were your violin student!🙏🙏🙏

[@mallykartha9522]

Feel so blessed to listen to you. What a privlege 🙏🏽

Excellent 👌👌👏🙏🙏 Beautiful lyrics about Periyava !🙏🙏Sree Gurubhyo Namaha 🙏

[@smaranshiva]

Wonderful lyrics with, as prayed, speaks volume for relief for all - सर्वे जना सुखीनों भवन्तु॥- and the tune on Madhuvanti augurs so well that astoundingly displayed with the nice brigaas at the relevant places that adores a well made jewel to the niceties of Ragaa and the sublime note to lyrics making listeners and specially all connoisseurs of music drench in its divinity and the very presence of of Maha Periva in itself… I remember all my gurus who taught me had told that if one chants the Vedic Hymns with true intent even the DEVATA Himself/HERSELF will come onto the agni of the homam to accept the aahutis… Likewise with the great intent these vidwans have presented the Kritis and Maha Periva Himself… would have blessed them..well done vidwans👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽💕

Words coming from the depths of one's heart CAN reach every other heart that listens to them. 'Maduvanthi' is nothing but the mixture of Honey, Milk and Sugar crystals. So sweet!!! I was stunned by the elaborate humming done to fill the gaps. I want to name it as 'sarOshtA' - the opposite of 'nirOshta' - in which the lips never meet! Thanks for adding the words of the song along with this song - for people like me. I loved the lines "மதியோடு நிம்மதியருளும் வெண்-மதியும் நீ யல்லவோ?" It is a tribute to the word 'Chandra' in the name of this holy sage....an example to the kuraL "வையத்துள் வாழ்வாங்கு வாழ்பவன் வானுறையும் தெய்வத்துள் வைக்கப் படும்"

It is unfair to isolate one sister from the other. Both are blessed and gifted artists both jointly and severally. Their singing and violining are real treats.
