While I ponder different roads to salvation, this place reveals how to attain it. “Is this what they call Tillai Sthalam?** For all these days I didn’t know. Pesak kettade endru penip partarindidum (idu)Įnglish translation: (my version, adapted from another english translation that was -in my opinion- way too archaic): Gati taruven endru kai katti azhaitidum (idu) Ok, here’s some more details on the performance in the youtube-video: song: idu tano tillai sthalam language: tamil ragam: behag talam: adi composer: Gopalakrishna Bharati concert at Margazhi Mahotsavam 2007 in Mylapore

That’s pretty amazing isn’t it?!Īpart from the high level and the subtleness of the performance (notice also the nice rhythmic accompaniment and the great violin player) I think the video also beautifully illustrates Ranjani’s and Gayatri’s great dedication and devotional attitude towards music, a trademark all good performers in this genre have in common. They switched -believe it or not- from a top violin level to a top vocal level. Stunning voices!”Īnd here’s a confession: although I’m familiar with many artists of hindusthani and carnatic music I had not heard of Ranjani and Gayatri until last week (- now ain’t that a shame?! -) and it was a surprise for me to learn that -despite their young age- they’ve had a very succesful career already in carnatic music, first as violinists and for the past ten years they’ve astonished audiences worldwide with vocal performances. Proof of this is this youtube-video I stumbled upon* last week.Īfter I watched the video a couple of times I left this comment: “What a fabulous, mesmerizing performance! Wonderful and really divine in their solo-parts (I wish the first five-and-a-half minute could last forever) and then such a sweet and beautiful composition in duet. Amman Songs Saraswathi Songs Lakshmi Songs Mahalakshmi Mahishasura Mardini Durga Songs. Since last week I’m convinced that the sisters Ranjani and Gayatri, carnatic singers from Mumbai, are among this category of outstanding performers. Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube. In raga music only the very best artists, live on stage in front of you, are able to evoke this kind of experience. And when the music reaches really deep inside, sound and self can become one and a divine feeling of pure bliss is within reach. The sounds you hear reverberate in your soul, seem to satisfy an inner need and connect with your deeper self.

Its beauty and its emotional content overwhelms you and you want to experience the musical sensation over and over again. Sometimes you hear music and right from the start you can’t get enough of it.
