It is a cry from his heart. Each of those neraval patterns are his tears. Astounding.

[@thariharan4373]

Excellent no equal to this.

He merges with the ragam and wanders about with his capabilities

[@sakuntalaganesan2859]

Remembered my younger days where I never used to miss MMIyer's concerts.You have done a great job by choosing his presentation for explanation of creativity.

[@GanapathySubramanian-m3o]

Madurai Mani Iyer's Music is really Divine!

[@Mayasram]

This was a fascinating insight into your own process, it made me reflect on my own writing process too. Thank you

[@vaidyseshan7021]

Excellent analysis. You brought out the richness in the rendition by Sri Madurai Mani Iyer. God Bless.

[@bhamavaradarajan4435]

The unforgettable Madurai Mani !I had the good fortune of listening to him .kalpanaswaram flowing like a waterfall,raga and neraval like a placid river---he'd make the people forget themselves !Apart from his ingenuity,I think it was his swanubhuthi which made his music special !He used to enjoy,and deliver throughout the concert ¡👍😀

[@Ozmailabala]

Fabulous analysis of NMM by SS

[@varaghu3156]

Great tribute to the master Maduari Mani Iyer

[@bhagwankuram2920]

Absolutely delightful to hear Madura Mani Iyer and you! Please do more of these analysis and commentary.

[@gangadharanr148]

Excellent analysis

[@vallursivaraman4201]

It is great pleasure to get the expertise from the contemporary super star of contemporary super star of Carnatic music about the all time great Madurai Mani Iyer.. There can be no comparison to the genius MMI. I would like to know Sanjay's opinion of MMI's Sukhi yevaro in Kaanada sung by this grand master . I would have heard this keerthanai atleast 10 times in live concert with accompaniment from Chowdiah , Sethu Ramiah, Kumbakonam Rajamanickam Pillai, Mayuram Govindaraja Pillai, Lalkudi, MSG, TNK.& many more in violin & Palakad Mani Iyer., Raghu, Suppuddu, Umyalppuram Sivaraman, Vellore Ramabadran in Mridangam - What a wonderful experience ..I as a Rasika don't know about the technicalities of music except identifing the raagas almost95% .I was a Mad rasika of genius MMI atleast would have listen to his concert 100 times live . therefore Would like to know the opinion of my present day idol Sanjaya.after his listening MMI's Sukhi Evaro.

[@venkatraman4856]

Great commentary by another genius.

[@svramakrishnan5347]

Used to hear MMIyer at kapali temple as a ten year old and now listening to you about these stalwarts with the intricacies explained how great they were makes listening to them a joy again after so many years. This is from a novice and an ordinary fan of carnatic music. Please keep doing this for the benefit of classical Carnatic godly music. 🙏

[@kschami]

My journey in Carnatic music also started with listening to MMI at Kapali temple in 1950 as a 8 year old (Sarasa Samadhana in particular) ..today I was listening to the Ethanaiyo piravi nerval and thought May God let him take some more piravis as long as Carnatic music is alive ! (or play a role in keeping it alive)

[@pathyvv3606]

'Thookiya Thiruvadi' - great composition of Kaviyogi Shuddhananda Bharati. Sri Madurai Mani Iyer is a master by himself has given a matchless piece of this 'niraval' in this song. I have heard this song in Sri. Madurai Mani Iyer's magical voice many a times. Young musicians should learn and adopt such innovative ways of singing compositions of such Divine composers.

[@rajananantharaman4298]

Thanks for the very nice Sanjay.

[@johnthomas7197]

You are a master not only in singing but also in lecture demonstration.

[@krishnamurthynarasipur2556]

Most of us listen to good music but without understanding or being unable to appreciate or analyse the finer points. Sanjay with his fine expression both musical and verbal makes us understand Karnatak music in all its glory.He is unique.

[@sonny19xx]

The concert of MMI that Sanjay is referring,i have not heard anything like it before. Absolutely divine.

[@padmavathyl4060]

Excellent analysis Sanjay Wonderful definition for Creativity 👍

[@rajananantharaman4298]

Thanks to sanjay sr .this thrilling MMI immortal

[@ashwathganapathi6010]

An excellent post, which I enjoyed thoroughly. He has very correctly referred to GNB and Madurai Mani Iyer to define "Creativity".

[@revathiramachandran8495]

Thank you Sanjay sir,great lecture demo.madurai Mani Iyer miracal...

[@KV.8]

Excellent very nice. Do post

[@prama064]

rare genius ! no words! simply listen !

[@ranganathannr3762]

very good Sanjay. I recall those days , say more than 5 decades ago, when MMI used to sing for four /five years of sublime music. In those days the Govt. transport was not available after 9 pm. We used to walk back to our homes , say about 5/6 miles talking about it, ( analysing is too big a word for us, novices )

[@subramanianvydianathan6333]

அருமையான பாடல் இவர் இவர் தான்

[@sundarrajan846]

Simply outstanding

[@73shanmuga]

Great explanation 👌 & Sri Mani Iyer is always makes the listeners spellbound while singing neraval, for example neraval at hitavu matalento in sarasa sama dhana in raga Kaapi Narayani.

[@venkatakrishnams]

Wonderful...articulation...Sir... Shows the great detail u process through consistently ...🙏🙏

[@profvenkataramanikrishnamu1710]

Wonderful Sanjay! As lively as MMI’s neraval !!

[@rcnatarajan6183]

An interesting and informative insight into creativity with an apt illustration of a rendering by MMI . Likewise , in MMI ‘s nephew TVS’s rendering of “ Inda Paranmugam “ he takes up “ nee our silaiyo “ for similar treatment. Would like to hear from SS his take on this . Tx RCN

[@balakrishnans2468]

It is good Sanjay point out great artists singing with their unique style. I appeal to him to bring out. M. D. Ramanathan singing

[@pathyvv3606]

Sanjai Subrahmaniyamji! Sincere appreciation for your effort to promote such useful discussion. Please make a brief mention about the composer of the keerthana during the course of your analysis. Thank you.

[@venkatramanisubramaniam3616]

This is from a concert at Tamil Isai Sangam in late fifties. Violin Mayuram Govindaraja Pillai Mridangam Palani Subramania pillai Ghatam Alangudi Ramachandran. AIR relayed excerpts from concerts live those days.

[@sreesreeram5951]

R S Krishnamurthy Rao - ghatam

[@Ozmailabala]

This is wrong description. Palani Subramania Pillai is a left hand mridangist

[@venkatraman4856]

எத்தைன ேயா பிறவி எடுத்தால் தான் இந்த மாதிரி இசையும் அதைப்பற்றிய ஆய்வையும் கேட்க முடியும்.

[@kalpusriram]

Post of rare music of rare masters

[@kannanps7040]

Can you talk about Mali.

[@ambujalakshminarayanan7397]

Please educate us

[@rcnatarajan6183]

Sorry typo in my post - read “ nee oru silaiyo “ . RCN

[@eytonshalom]

why there is no equal to MMI...

[@sundaramsridharan8963]

can someone post a link to the Paddhati album on charsur that Sanjay refers to

What is his email adress

[@subramanianvydianathan6333]

எத்தனயோ பிரவி எடுத்தாலும் இவரைப்போல் பாடமுடியுமா

[@lalgudimahadevan6999]

Similarly in தாயே யசோதா காலினில் சிலம்பு. place niraval with T.Cowdaiah in Violin superb

[@ravishanker6925]

but if you hear, his different rendition of thukiya thiruvadi, it may sound same. some differences might be there here and there... I am not pin pointing mmi, its the case for all most all musicians in any school of music.... they are kind of restricted in their style and approaches....

[@srinivasanshivakumar6616]

The mridangist is Mahavidvan Palani Subramanya Pillai. Trademark sollus give it away....
