Sivadarushana & Mahadeva Siva Shambho | RaGa Travelog | Someshwara Temple

Ranjani and Gayatri present a unique blend of two different compositions as they sing in the serene Someshwara Temple, Mangalore. Purandaradasa's Siva Darushana is presented in part as an ugabhoga which flows into the popular composition of Thanjavur Sankara Iyer in Raga Revathi. On the day of Purandaradasa Aradhana, this piece which brings together two composers and two languages pays obeisance to both this great saint and Lord Siva in this beautiful shore temple.
RaGa Travelog is a series of candid musical presentations in locations that include iconic temples, beautiful nature settings and scenic locales. These videos are spontaneous offerings that fuse music, nature and setting into a holistic experience that draws from the aesthetic, cultural and spiritual richness of places.

My absolute favorite thing about RaGa sisters is their genuine love and affection for each other. Two sisters, trained identically by the same gurus and with the same years of experience still manage to stand their own without undermining the other's talent. It's impossible not to take inspiration from their encouraging glances, their spontaneous sabhash & bhesh-bhesh, and their kindness and humor when the other is slightly out of sync. It takes immense strength of character to consistently be there for each other, respecting each other's strengths and weaknesses. There's no greater testimony to the power of music. It must open up wells of joy in the heart and wash away pettiness and negativity. It's like they know how to speak a love language most of the world does not know how to. 😍👏

[@prasadpushkar3191]

What a rich Kannada diction! and our dear Akkas always make it a point to sing the composition with absolute chaste in the language it is composed in! The love for Kannada and Tamil is so appreciated! Happy Mahashivratri 2023! Dear Akkas could you please also sing "SARVAPARADHAVA KSHAMISAYYA" set in Keeravani, a rare Purandara Dasara Pada popularized by Dr R K Sreekanthan mama, M T Selva Narayana mama and I had heard an old recording of Srirangam Ratnam sing this! This song is akin to the sangathis of Puniyum Oru Koti (Keeravani), a masterpiece on Maha Periyava! 🙏

[@seshadri_channel]

Cannot stop the tears rolling down while hearing this beautiful composition along with ugabhoga of Purandaradaasaru. Each bit of the song is so much filled with bhakthi and blissful. No other place can be so wonderful to present this blissful melody RaGa Sisters. Sharing this you have blessed us and you will be blessed always by Mahadeva. 🙏🙏💐💐

[@sudhasomanathan9030]

Same here.. moved me to tears. What is this link between compositions on Siva and Revathi ragam- inexplicable bliss! And RaGa sisters voice adds that extra magic, ofcourse. My special appreciation for the ugabhoga by Smt Ranjani.

Got the Post only today. Thanks for a precise note about the Temple. As regards the rendition, melodic and mesmerizing. Today, KARTHIKA SOMAVAR, blessed to hear and enjoy the Krithi on Lord Mahadeva. Best Wishes. Venkat.

[@kumars6864]

I am hearing Purandara dasara kriti on Lord Shiva for the first time!! 💐💐 For Purandara dasa and 💐💐 for RaGa Sisters beautiful rendition!!

[@amoghk.m.6769]

Thank you for the upload! The singers cannot know all the languages but any mistakes made with the lyrics must not propagate. I write this for other fellow listeners and those who want to learn from this rendition. The first stanza of the purandara dAsa kruti- The part that is sung as "brahmana rANi noDuvanu" (he looks at brahma's queen), is actually "brahmAndavanu noduvanu" (he looks at the entire universe). It changes the meaning significantly.

[@shashigowda5016]

Honestly I think "kele brahmana rani" is correct. Purandara is talking to Saraswati amma, "kele brahmana rani". -- then "noduvanu, ... anandadali nalidaduvanu" is the next sentence.

[@skandyvelat1012]

Just now I heard Radha Jayalakshmi upload. Now Raga Sisters. Generation gap. You have come to the top level within short period because of your hard work & achived by participating in n carnatic music & reached the level of top position . Now you have achieved your goal. I have not refered Radha ,Jayalakshmi & you for who is superior. Both are superior on the respective period. The song rendered by you is excellent. Thank you Ragasisters.

[@radhasankarasubramanian1070]

Switch to revati was done in a blink of the eye . Such an effortless rendition . I'm blessed to hear you dear mams . And blessed further to have the glimpse of the lord . This is the loveliest revati ever now . I remember revati being sung by dear Ranjani mam in the RaGa candid series , that time it was short and i was craving for it more and now it's satisfied . Its just so melodious and you both are shining like two glorious suns . Everything is so perfect . Thank you my dearest mams .

Thanks for this beautiful upload. l am quoting here the following paragraphs from the article which appeared in the Hindu on May 27th 2021 at the time of the demise of Thanjavur V. Sankara Iyer. In the said article Mr Injikkudi Subramanian who learnt from Sankara Iyer quotes as under : " His songs such as Mahadeva Siva Sambo (Revathi) and Muruga Thirmal Maruga (Harikamboji) were popularised by late M.L. Vasantha Kumari and D.K. Jayaraman. “He composed Mahadeva in Revathi to give a keerthi soaked fully in Carnatic elements. He was of the opinion that earlier Revathi raga had a tinge of Hindustani,” explained Mr Subramanian.

[@yuvanraja3236]

Thank you Madam.

[@vrajit52]

This concept itself is very unique. Taking us to such wonderful temples and further soaking us in divinity through appropriate krithis is commendable. With no frills whatsoever, it is a rendition straight from the heart. To comment on the presentation is only superfluous as it only gets better with every rendition. Thanks for a great start to the day!
