Thanks to everyone who took time to watch the video and listen to our music! We can’t wait for you all to listen to the rest of the tracks from the album. Stay tuned✨

[@AniyammaTHOMAS-qh7uk]

Good job God bless you

[@sridhartoopurani4268]

Nice presentation people. ❤️💐 But a little more care should have been taken with lyrics. As world over people listen…youngsters listen and learn … It’s the charanam “raamaa ana - combined becomes raamaayana (not Na) - meaning - “raama means” chapalaakshi - means women (chapalaakshula means women’s) pEru : name Meaning : ‘raama ‘ also refers to women… so, if you by mistake understand ‘raama’ as women, you’ll only end up in kaama etc worldly desires… (kaamaadula gOru vaaru)… vEru (they are different, they are another set of people) raama is also the name for ‘brahmam’.. parabrahmam - that which removes the worldly problems So, telisi raama chintana seyave oh manasa - oh my mind when you think of raama, we should know the meaning and then think of the right raama… How? … talapulu anni nilipi… keep all the thoughts aside… nimishamaina…. Atleast for a minute…. taaraka roopuni… the one who shines like a star.. nija tatvaardhamu… real essense and meaning… telisi raama chintana seyave…Knowing thus, think of him oh my mind. 😊 hope you guys don’t mind the detailed explanation, which I’ve given for the benefit of all.

[@pavanajsridhar939]

nice!

[@ShreyasKB-mo5is]

Excellent Comment. Thanks for your time and detailed Explanation 😊

[@ramabhadrarao2667]

Very good explanation thanks for commenting without any hesitation

[@jtatavarti]

As the time passes, instead of completely ignoring our classical treasure, youngsters are making an attempt with a bit of experiment with fusion, we should encourage is my strong opinion. When small pronunciation issues happen due to lack of understanding, knowledgeable people should patiently explain. Thats what was done here. Thank you very much. It will be nice if the singer re-records the Kriti with corrections.

[@ananthasivan]

Always poornachandrika ragam brings energy into life. Only very few songs are set in this raga.

[@ashok4464]

We are living in the age of fast food,fast cars and bullet trains! No wonder the newgen likes this .As they say ' change is the only constant. 50 years from now,this will be the format of carnatic music! Meanwhile i still have some old vinyl records of MDR ,GNB,BMK etc

[@ananthasivan]

Spoorthi simply mesmerizing. Violin is so blissful and is the soul of this fusion.

[@balanr1729]

Spoorti Rao has again made her Guru proud. Flawless rendering without rushing.

[@jayashreetatavarti6733]

Very nice. Specially the Telugu pronunciation is very nice. Please make sure to pay attention to the line “రామాయన బ్రహ్మకు పేరు” (रामायन ब्रह्मकु पेरु) it was wrongly sung as ‘రామాయణ బ్రహ్మకు పేరు’ .(रामायण ब्रह्मकु पेरु) Then the whole meaning changes by mispronouncing one syllable. I loved this performance. That’s the reason giving a constructive feedback. Not criticizing. .

[@srirambhagavati476]

కరెక్ట్ అండి దాని వల్ల అర్థమే మారిపోయింది కంప్లీట్ గా

[@ramakrishnaanisingaraju7129]

అవును. అది చాలా ముఖ్యమైన పదం. రామాయణ అంటే అర్థం మారిపోతుంది. రామా యన అని మాత్రమే పలకాలి.

[@radharaokandregula8544]
