Why is Mayamalavagoula the first Raga we learn? | VoxGuru ft. Pratibha Sarathy

[@mythilychari8754]

I am 69 years old started Carnatic music class a month ago. Great teacher. She encourages me. I know nothing about the information you gave. Very nice and useful. Bless you.

[@prashantsubbaiyan7100]

Super mam

[@meenatchisundaram2462]

I am also in my 52 started to seeing her videos which are wonderful..Great..!

[@subamani77]

I am 55 and just starting to learn music. I am into drumming for past 3 months and loving it. I have looked at many videos to learn Carnatic music, but she is the one who can explain music for total beginners. I enjoy music, but have zero knowledge on swaras and raagas. I like the nice animations that she uses to explain the concepts. Loving it. Thank you Prathiba ji for these great videos.

[@mskalpanaprasad4158]

yes, while great teachers are such a blessing, bad teachers can be destructive! there is so much at stake.

[@geethagupta1631]

Always wondered why Sri Purandara Dasa choose this this raga to begin training with for Carnatic vocals. And when i learnt Veena, i started with this. Great video and some good comments too. Thanks Pratibha ji and everybody.

[@BadassBikerOwns]

Finally a channel that explains Carnatic music properly to the English audience. Thanks ma'am for your effort.

[@sujadutta]

What a great teacher you are, my dear. God bless you.

[@VoxGuru]

[@dancegurukumari2806]

Thank you. For your contribution to carnatic music.

[@harshavardhann8482]

Rightly said Madam🤝 the Father of Carnatic Music Sri Purandara Dasaru must have well thought of it while introducing it!

[@hemalathasuresh633]

That s why Purandara Dasa is called Narada Avataara.

[@revathikarthik1067]

Thx ma'am my daughter is 5 years we have joined her to class before 4 month now i can show this video and motivate her and also i will try to make her understand the importance of this raga . 🙏 thx a lot

[@pavanimandli3993]

What a beautiful voice mam, very use full information

[@sreeravi25]

As a kid I too was taught beginning this "scale", but had to stop the lessons after 2 weeks after my parents were transferred to a different city. I have always instinctively loved this raga and never realized why until I started googling and finally found that name "Mayamalavagoula". Thanks for this superb introduction!

[@TheVishnu3333]

Thank you for your valuable time in making this video, have been confused with the notations and also had the same qn why mayamalavagoula. This video nailed it. Thanks again!

[@Rpa-48]

This was so useful, thankyou!! Its something ive always wondered

Thank you so much!

[@manoharks]

I heard another story about Mayamalavagowla. As all these basic music exercises were developed by Purandaradasa, his reason for choosing this raga was it would be easy for a beginner to practice on the veena, because of the spacing of the frets, as he was a vainika himself

[@VoxGuru]

Yes!

[@muralidharpudipeddi2336]

Very simple and high analysis

Thanks so much for the efforts. Had heard mayamaalavagoula bring practiced around but the intervals, mirrored notes just makes one go a little deeper. It is obvious you have a talent for teaching.

Very well explained. You have the purest voice.

[@bijoudas5842]

Excellent explanation.👍🙏👍💌

[@anirudhmc6890]

[@VoxGuru]

Thank you and glad you enjoyed the lesson!

[@johnwilson7146]

Really you are a music genius. Your explanation of Mayamalava Goula Ragam is so versatile and very enchanting. God bless you dear daughter.

[@JohnLovell-FTW]

I loved this music for a long time and never knew it was so structured and precise. I always thought that the oscillations and slides were just artistic styling from each singer. I've a lot to learn on my Carnatic journey :). (Western drummer that is very interested in the rhythms of India)

[@elborrador333]

The music is codified down to the microtones, the gamakas are anything but arbitrary. Maybe easier understanding what's happening on a fretted instrument like the veena rather than vocal music.

[@gowthammanokaran2878]

Nice explanation 👍 Thank u mam 🙏

[@sreejithkrishnan3765]

Excellent explanation !!

[@rangamurali7667]

Very good introduction to open the knowledge, understanding of the basics for learning and singing the ragas, hope it continues, great lecture Ms Pratibha! Thanks 🙏

[@ajeethpramlall7430]

Thanks a million, dear Mataji...your lessons are so crisp and clear...you make understanding so much easier...Thanks again and God bless. Hare Krsna.

Very Good !! thank you very much !!! I am beginner and you gave here good idea to start with.

[@koushikmudi1156]

I am fortunate enough to have got training in Hindustani music and also a little insight of Carnatic music. I have always had this question in mind, why Mayamalavagoula/Bhairav is the first raga we learn. Well, yes, we learn singing the notes and alankaras with all the Shuddha swaras, equivalent to Shankaravaranam but the raga we first learn is raga Bhairav (equivalent to Mayamalavagoula) in Hindustani music along with raga Yaman (only Madhyama is teevra). I guess all I'm trying to say is thanks a lot for this video. I've got the answer now and feeling so thrilled about it.

[@yaminianand1062]

Great Information 👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻👌🏻💖🎊🎉

M following your channel regularly...keep posting videos & thanks.

[@jasmine4654]

Wow!! That was a wonderful explanation! I love carnatic music though I have never had the opportunity to learn. But I keep hearing and enjoying songs everyday. Loved ur analysis and explanation. I often visualise a noise free atmosphere with this Ragam in the back ground.. for that matter many lovely raagas and enjoy the bliss. I think even for meditation KZbin is flooded with so many. But just these ragas would be more than great to make one enjoy THE BLISS. Kudos to your efforts!

[@VoxGuru]

Music is indeed a meditative experience. You are on the right track with your visualisation :-)

[@AnilJacobs]

Brilliant, helps to deeply focus an understand the anatomy of a Raag! Thank you

[@VoxGuru]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@rageshgr]

Awesome points. I did realise the symmetry but other points which you mentioned was eye opening to me. Another thing I felt is. In MMG, all notes come in adjacent pairs. SR GM PD NS Which might help a beginner focus on only two notes at a time to break it down to simpler chunks

[@praisegod4261]
