Kids play with toys, normal people play with phones , legends like these play with instruments. Mind blowing... Addictive...

[@bukkaharshvardhan]

Guys... I’m a complete music illiterate. And I have no idea how to appreciate Carnatic music. But every time you guys come up with something, you blow my mind! Mahesh Raghavan, you’re awesome!

[@ladylady109]

I love Indian rythmes 💖💖💖,, a lot of love from Algeria 🇩🇿 💖💖

[@yanushbatra7807]

This isn’t a rhyme, it’s a type of composition that uses a certain set of words it’s called thillana in Carnatic music ( South Indian music ) and Tarana in Hindustani music ( North Indian music ). In the composition after the use of rhythmic words like ‘tam’ ans ‘dhim’ comes the actually lyrics of the song. This particular thillana is on lord skanda, the son of shiva and parvati and the warrior god for the Hindus.

[@chaitanyavishnu1256]

Okay, Guys... Let me tell you what happened with me, I am off to office... it's early morning 6:00AM and with half sleep and mug of coffee, I sat down at my desk skimming through work. Then the miracle happened... First, it was the notification which I have been waiting for a long time to see... I was admiring and each cell in my body was singing for itself..... AND when the lyrics dropped, from the entrance with the slim light... comes my crush...!!!!!! Basking in sunlight with golden skin... I was literally awestruck for a moment...... For that one moment and just for one little moment, it's the most magical and miraculous thing happened to me.... felt like the best and purest things in the world came together..... Thank you for making my day start so beautiful...!!!

[@amritasrinivasan2929]

Chaitanya Vishnu I second that emotion!

[@sowbarnihathamaraiselvan7219]

That totally makes sense for some reason.

[@chaitanyavishnu1256]

@Amrita Srinivasan What is the story with you? *Curious..!!!

You must be a very good writer apart from being a music-lover and an early riser. :)

perfect blend of west and carnatic...... quietly brilliant....

Excellent !! People will start loving Indian classical music more & more ....if you present it so beautifully...

[@ayyarkartik86]

Awesome fantastic!! best part was lyrics...I loved it... addicted..m

[@Pink-as-Floyd]

Teared out the moment the hymn began. A small hymn yet powerful enough to take you to another dimension. Violin was spot on with improvisations and ofcourse Mahesh doing Mahesh things.

[@lavanyabharathi3341]

Actually a very big fan of 🎻 and geoshred . And very awesome Lalgudi Jayaraman's Mohanakalyani Thillana and just loved it ........Wow..👌👍♥️

[@MsGirlnextdoor123]

@Chaitanya Vishnu - HOW is it that I had an identical experience as you? The music is seeping through my body, waking up every cell, every drop of blood, every tiny inch of skin... Living seven seas away, it still calls me. But then, Mohana Kalyani / Yaman always does that to me, and this Lalgudi Jayaraman Thillana is almost surreal. These guys have done a great job of reinventing it.

It is so amazing, I've begun to start my day listening to this. But it is hard to unlisten to you saying 'skandam' as 'स्कन्डम्' instead of 'स्कन्दम्'. I strongly believe the latter is the right pronunciation. This aside... What a presentation!
