[@prabhathpr]

It looks like Maharaja never travelled to Kashi, but the lyrics seem to depict he actually has seen the place. The ganga flowing pure as milk, ghats full of Sanyasi's, ash laden idol of Vishweshwara, trident in his hand with nag mala around the neck. Goddess Parvathi as his half and the entire three worlds being his dasa praying both to Padmanabha and the lord with three eyes. Very beautiful and sublime rendition by Abhishek superbly supported by HNB and Patri ! That was indeed a divine, blissful Kashi Vishweswara darshan !!

[@arjunsubrahmanian7535]

Wow so beautifully written! Thank you for this comment! I myself have never gone to Kashi, but through your words, I was able to travel with Maharaja as well ❤️

[@indumathisureshramashashtr6566]

Oh Abhishek, after hearing to you all these years, I am of the openion that you should transwalk to the classical Hindustani style and should uniquely sing both Karnatik and Hindustani classical through your voice in all your concerts,, showing the entire world that the music of India is unique and never can be matched. This challenge is possible only by you and singers of your level.

[@umaram8636]

Absolutely gorgeous. 30 people did not like this ????? they don't understand music.

[@ramnaidu6842]

The 30 are not blessed

[@rekhab4726]

yes absolutely

[@padmaperi8658]

V. K. Srinivasan, Toronto, Canada. (90 years old ) Such a soul stirring lilting song sung so beautifully with his usual golden voice; I hear it every day; also some of his other songs like Idu thano Thillai Sthalam ; Renuka Devi ; i am addicted to this young man's singing. He is just so good ! May the good Lord bless him !

[@nanarama4554]

I became addicted his music 2010.Don't have the mind to listen to any one else since then.The way he catches the phrases in raagas is unique.

[@Drsjanakiraman64]

He was in Bharathi Kala Mandram fora concert held at SVBF, Etobicoke. I just posted "idhu thano Thillai Sthalam" his rendition from Sankara Channel concert on Twitter as his Birthday is today 26th September. God Bless Him with long life & Good Health 🙏🏻.

[@venkateswarwunnava6911]

Sindhubhairavi is truly a sindhu, a ocean of mystical magic, coupled with and sanctified by the purity of Ganga and the blessings of Visveswara in this song.

[@ournationcomesfirst]

What a magnificent composition by the Great Maharaja of Travancore, Swati Tirunaal, a multi-talented king who was fluent in as many as 10 languages! It was said that he composed this particular song as he longed to have a Darshan of Lord Vishwanath ji at the Holy City of Kaashi (Vaaraanasi), but due to some political pressure in his kingdom in Kerala, could not do so. In his dreams, he had a vision of the holy city and the residing Deity, Vishwanath ji in all His Glory, and this song was born! He invokes his Ishta Devata, Shri Padmanabha and states that both Hari and Hara are One and the Same! You remain forever indestructible (Avinashi). So soulfully rendred by Shri Abhishek Raghuram, and ably supported by Vidwan Shri HS Bhaskar and Shri Patri Satishkumar. Dhanyavad!

Exquisite!! The future of the Carnatic tradition looks exciting! Sabash to Shri. Abhishek Raghuram for expressing musical ideas in a way that is relevant to life today. Shri. HN Bhaskar weaves in so delicately in sync with the aesthetic and Shri. Patri Satish accentuating with precision and elan.

[@mnjraman]

I bow down to Sri Sri Maharaja Swathi Tirunal, the composer. Thanks to a wise friend, today afternoon I was blessed to listen to this Super Rendition of Sri Tirunal's composition! Being only an eternal novice of our Divinely Carnatic Music, I know very little (relating to Sangeetam), and so I did not also know Sri Tirunal composed in different languages... Pranams and 'many thanks' to Sri Abhishek Raghuram, and the accompaniment artists Sri H N Bhaskar, and Sri Patri Satishkumar PLUS the team members who made this super recording possible AND shared the prasAdam with all the devotees...

[@suntharaponnambalam2767]

[@ushachakrapani3683]

I have recently been to Kasi, sang this unbelievably divine song infront of the sanctorum while waiting for the darshan. Your rendition and my experiencing a level of spirtuality there, give almost the same sense of eternal peace and beauty. You have nailed it Abhishek Raghuramji. The yearning and bhakti that comes out in your soulful voice!! Its God's blessing. Your music shows the way to God.

[@deeparamani8573]

Very close to a real concert experience, splendid SIndhubhairavi . Thank you Abhishek and team

Excellent and melodious Alaap & singing by Abhishek Raghuram. A great concert, which I came across after the great vocalist Pt. Sri Bhimsen Joshi, May Sai Baba's blessings always be with you. ( pl. post the full concerts...we are craving for more).

[@SachiRSachidananda]

Dear Abhishek, a most evocative and original interpretation. The raga "Bhairavi" never fails to uplift the soul. Bhimsen left his stamp on Jo Bhaje. This ST composition Vishveshwara has a similar effect and so many renditions are so good. But the way you have emoted the raga and song is a testimony to the grand confluence of head and heart in prayer. CM is blessed to have musicians like you, HNB and Patri. Thank you!
