The IndianOil Now Hear Us Series: Episode 9 feat. Ramana Balachandhran

[@srisungazesplash1340]

This guy doesn’t even need accompaniments… heavenly as he is…

[@260jam]

Words fail me, Ramana. I listened to this concert last night from beginning to the end, and was torn between watching you and just closing my eyes and being transported by your astonishing imagination. To me, you have found your place among all the great improvisers of Raga music that can tap into something transcendent and limitless that I can only dream of as a mere listener. Thank you!

[@rajiviswaminathan8468]

I fully agree with your view.

[@rldworld]

Wonderful performance. Ramana Balachandhran, a child prodigy, always does justice to the raaga by his depth of feeling and long practised expertise. All the best to the artiste and all brilliant accompanists.

[@MoniVHS]

Master Ramana Balachandran, is not a child prodigy anymore, he has raised to the level of a VIDWAN, and the Veena and himself grew up together from his Childhood days, and the strings Dance to his finger movements .He has raised to a greater heights a a Vidwan, and Sri Ramana Bhaghawan is with him all the time. Who knows whether Sri Bhaghawan himself is back with all of us by the same name as” RAMANA “Balachandran .Blessings to Sri Ramana Balachandran.

[@MohanRam-lr9yp]

@@MoniVHS Ramana balachandran is a gift from divinity for classical music.By the time he approached the youth stage no doubt he has achieved a level in classical music where normal persons take time beyond the time duration what Ramamna balachandran has taken. He is in the level a vidwan no doubt.But going too emotionally in this regard is not correct. i humbly submitt Bhagawan Ramana maharshi i think he is merged with parabrahman ,where is the room for taking another birth that too to give a shabda swaroopa which is conceived by indriyas. Bhagawan Ramana maharashi has gone beyond jagrut,swapana,sushupti.Where is the question of coming back. Ramana maharshi is not attached to this world while he was in the body form.Hence i humbly submitt that we must refrain from such sayings like he has come in the form of that or this. Those saints are form less. No question of coming back.The are ever pervading, nitya,satya. OM NAMAH SHIVAYA.

[@MohanRam-lr9yp]

CONTINUING, One thing is evident as per our sanatana dharma and also lord krishnas sayings in bhagavad geetha, ramana balachandran was a fine veena player in his privious births,now also he has choosen that atmosphere it self as per his vasansas and god has also put him in that atmoshpere it self to safely continue it.That is the great gift from god to the humanity that what we do in this life will be given continuance furthur to prosper in it.

[@manikantanj1181]

Thanks to Indian oil to give such a wonderful concert for us. Best wishes to Ramana God bless you

[@somanraman1971]

He is simply devine. The nuances of veena and his singing is just amazing.True to the spirit of classical music. Mridangam and khadam are equally good.

[@sreyabheemesh255]

I'm typing this with fat teardrops falling from my face :) What a KannaDa. What a suryakantha.Makes me wonder what puNya I have done, to listen to this heavenly music. And that Madhuvanthi. Ramana's music is indeed Brahmamayam. And what a thani! ETHEREAL.

[@rameshbv2864]

Really a Sooooooooper program. Naada of Veena is Divine indeed. Best wishes Ramana. You are a great Asset of Karnataka Shastriya Sangeetha World.

[@asnimages6803]

After a very long time I am listening to this veena concert. I recollect my memories when as a ten year old boy listened to the great Shri Emani Shankara Shastri at the Music Academy sitting on the dais and Lo and behold it was a scintillating performance by the maestro. After the maestro passed away at the age of 48(I think) I stopped listening to the veena as there were hardly anyone that had the skill . I thought it had died. But after this program I think the art has just revived and he is really playing well. I hope he continues to excel in this art . May god bless him with good health in the years to come.

[@malavishwanath2909]

After a long time a veena concert being heard ,as my brother is 87years and was guru to many. Here,i find this boy and his sincere effortswould take him along way.my blessings

[@rameshbv2864]

Rare Raga Surykantha is marvellously presented..... No suitable words to say more.

[@willpowered9]

Ramana there is always divinity in your music, I see your Gurus blessings on your head always showering like a monsoon rain. Keep reaching higher altitudes.

[@kalyanikrishnan1505]

Ramana plays happily.. Wonderful concert... Enjoyed thoroughly... Great, Great... Absolutely brilliant

[@vmnavrak]

1:01:47 such a rounded and pitch-perfect voice, shades of balamurali krishna! really brought out the beauty of suryakantam there :)

Love to watch young people playing veena. A thousand appreciation to his parents for bringing up such a talented son.

[@vishnushanbhogue7882]

His appreciation of th mridangam artist…..is really worth noting….nd whole concert especially th thaanam reminds Pandit Nikil Babus sitar vaadan

[@neerajamb]

Veena has such a complex and rich timbre! Beautiful music and lovely production. A nice tribute to kolams too. Thank you

[@ravindrarao9815]

Excellent concert. Suryakantha raga is wonderful with Ramana's vocals as a bonus. The trio are sure to rise to greater heights 👌👌👌👍

[@vishnushanbhogue7882]

I feel my Dad, an ameture Veena artist, should have been alive to listen this Devine music…

[@vythilingumashven3982]

So sweet to see Shri Ramana Maharshi on his box! ❤️😍🙏 Respect

[@fionatudor-tompkins6526]

Oh my goodness how happy my heart is to suddenly find this music tonight 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻thankyou Om Namo Bhagavate Sri Ramanaya ⛰❤️

[@gangasubramanian7051]

When ever I hear Ramana, I used to feel what punyam I have done to hear such a heavenly music. And always not to forget to bless him . Long live.

[@sudhamuralidharan6574]

Splendid This person is a genius Stay blessed & walk the right path

[@MrKanthikumar]

What a beautiful setting for a grand veena recital in that lush, green and wellkept outdoors. The artistes must have felt relaxed and rejuvenated by that beautful surrounding. They were surrounded by nature !!! ha ha ...

[@shekharmurthy9733]

I must say Ramana's voice is very nice. Your singing while playing added an extra flavor to the overall performance.

[@MR-xl5ni]

Wow excellently rendered Sooryakantham by Ramana Balachandran. The entire team was excellent. Enjoyed the concert.

[@Pushpa-i4m]

Blissful. Perfect Carbatic shastreeya sangeetham. No gymmiks Or any stunts. Just devotion and determination. What a beautiful rendering❤❤

[@rameshbv2864]

Today I watched this video for 9th time...... Continue to watch

[@molboost]

What a sound. What a harmonie. Oh India.

[@krishnant1611]

Ramana Balachandran has such a unique talent that he is able to make the Veena follow his voice. He is aptly supported by Sumesh and Chandrasekhara. God bless!

[@shahindranmoonieya4742]

I am transported. There exists no lexicon to describe this experience. Just the bliss of silence!

[@shekharmurthy9733]

Awesome concert. The location of the concert is simply wonderful. I could see the breeze and leaves falling from the tree just awesome. Composition Sarvam Brahmamayam in Madhuvanti ragam was very soothing and devotional to listen. You took me to beautiful divine world. How i wish i had a chance to listen to this concert live enjoying nature. Thank you so much.

[@ahardnuttocrack5352]

Hugely thrilled listening to these young performers. Thank you for helping preserve the glory of our ancient arts and traditions.

[@sankara70]

i would like to hear the 18 people that disliked this wonderful piece of work. Well done Ramana. Such a great performance by yourself and the accompanying artists

[@vishnushanbhogue7882]

If any one dislike this melody , it is jst jealous , nothing more. Veena playing and singing along is a traditional style.

[@boomagovind4869]

Wonderful initiative by Indian oil

[@MrKanthikumar]

I applaud Adishakti Lab for the excellent sets, beautiful visual effects, top camera angles and best recording arrangement as I relax to the vainikagayaka's sing along veena playing beginning with Kannada and Sri Mathrubhootham Thrishiragirinatham !!! Mishrachapu adds to the joy of listening. Santoshakaranam Santoshakaaranam is mishrachapu besides Dikshtar's brillantly sweet Sanskrit sahitya.

[@sindhujapenumarty7090]

Something divine about Ramana's rendition, always!!

[@sunshine-adhiram7141]

Thank you so much to you all, wonderful music and divine voice! 🙏

[@sankaranarayananbalachandr8101]

What a spell binding and breathtaking playing ❤. The percussion is as good as it ever gets. Truly enchanting and absolutely absorbing 🎉😊

[@shoo1963]

No words to express how beautiful this was. Naadam of veena, His voice, the accompanying artistes, the location, selection of ragam ! Adbhutam!!! 🙏🙏

[@rajiviswaminathan8468]

Mesmerising voice and veena vadan. Pure divine music. May God bless him.

Combination of 3 with instrument& also singing is melodious,

I love your singing with Veena vaadhanam. Very few can. I have herd Neelamma Kadambhi

Beautiful Ramana, and kudos to the accompanists too. Lovely peaceful setting and great choice of ragas. With Bhagavan blessings🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@samarthgowda8394]

An all-rounded Perfection, absolutely Serene!

[@gagangayatri]

Incredible ! Wish the tanpura levels were a little low since it’s drowning the subtle ornamentations . . Total respect to the artist 🙏🙏

[@himadribhattacharya3337]

Excellent. The last pieceon Madhivanti was almost sublime. If one wants to have a feel of Indian abstract creativity, then this could be a good example. God bless.

[@vishnushanbhogue7882]

Am just searched is there any North Indian hu liked this music, nd got u . Usually more South Indian enjoys Hindustani classical music . But less North Indians hu can enjoy or like southern classical melodies……I think so. Pt. Nikil Da my v.v.fvrt.

[@himadribhattacharya3337]

I am from the eastern region of the country. A fact less known to other parts of the country is that quite a few songs of Tagore are based on Carnatic raags. Foe example, like the well-known Telegu song 'Nidu chranamule..' (sung, among others, by the great Balmuralikrishna) the exquisite Tagore song 'Baje karuno sure' is set to Simhendramadyamam. A very famous devotional song for Durga Puja festival sung many many decades back by the late Manabendra Mukherjee - 'Tobo achintya roop chatrito..' is set to raag Bowli/Bhoopalam. And sung with a touch of the Carnatic style as well.

[@dnasm123]

Loved this concert. Such a treat. Fortunate to have stumbled upon this. Great Veena playing combined with acute sense of the music and soulful rendition. Excellent singing-makes the Veena sing with him; sounds like two people singing. Excellent accompaniments. Such a treat to watch and hear these youngsters. They are blessed and we are blessed🙏🙏🙏🙏. Excellent recording and videography too, in a pleasing environment.

[@pksingh1774]

Inspired and proud to hear the talented new generation of Carnatic…

[@devinadutt9967]

@alejandro matas this is a Carnatic instrumental concert. Mridangam, violin, Kanjira and ghatam are the usual accompanying instruments in a Carnatic Vocal performance. The Veena is usually a solo instrument as it is in this concert and it is joined by a ghatam and a mridangam.

[@ratan012]

very melodious including Mridangam.

[@ritupabankotoky]

Very powerful performance.
