Vande Sangeetam!
To music, I take a bow. It gives us so much, from rejuvenating our spirits and cleansing our mind, to a sense of physical well being and a definite spiritual direction if we choose. Sometime during our life, we need to prostrate before this power. We attempt here to share all that it has given us- Composers, ragas, thoughts on puranas. We also try to look at what we should do, individually and collectively, to ensure that its purity and profound beauty are passed on to the generation next.
Recorded in natural setting in a village Mundaje, Karnataka.

Vijay Siva's rendition of Sri Krishnam Bhajamanasa as the main piece at Music Academy over 20 years ago still rings in my ear. Matches the great SSI rendition.
Namaste sir!
The most difficult things fascinate us most. Conquering ThOdi and mastering it on a woodwind instrument must be giving immense satisfaction to the musicians. Small wonder they take great pains to gain perfect control over the instrument and the raga. I remember having read that 'thOdi Venkataramana bhagavathar' could sing the raga for many days at a stretch. Such was his mastery over the rAga.
It is said the commencing phrase of any kriti brings out the rAgabhAvam at its best. So when there are so many krithis in the same rAgA, repetition of the opening phrase or the resemblance between the opening phrases of two songs become inevitable. But the lines that follow must be and will be different! Otherwise the songs themselves would become identical.
What a superb presentation of Thodi Raga! Marvelous and out of this world! 🙏🙏
I vividly remember Vijay Siva Sir's rendition at Yavanika hall, Bangalore as a 9 year old where Vijay Sir rendered Thodi swarajathi and next class with my guru I learnt it. The moment I asked my guru to teach it, she said " Did Vijay Siva render it😀". That was the impact of Vijay Siva Sir's rendition on me. Truly unforgettable. My humble namaskarams to Sir🙏
A\a\l""l
And another special and astounding feature of each kirthanam of Thyagaraja in Thodi. He has started each kirthanam with the arohanam and avarohanam of Thodi Ragam. I would like to mention it. Then the evergreen Muthuswami Deekshitar Kirthanam Sri Krishnam Bhaja Manasa in Guruvayur Krishnan.
MALI AND RAJARATNAM PILLAI HANDLED THIS RAGA EXPERTLY.THOUGH THE STYLES DIFFERED THEY BROUGHT OUT ALL THE NUANCES OF THIS RAGA.
I am at loss of words to praise.but cann join my hands silently with reverence for the valuable info given like cake to posterity🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Ninne namminanu sadha simply mesmerising ! You are a NADA YOGI indeed ! saipremi
Namaskaram sir. Mesmerizing gambeeramana kuralil thodi. Ahaa
Really amazed at his versatility and Knowledge and the amazing way he presents it in the most inspiring and interesting way. . My salutations to him for these presentations. !!
Thank-you so much for the explanation....when I hear raga todi I always remember one song sung by our great actor Dr. Raj Kumar in film "Jeevana Chaitra", "Nadamaya Ee Lokavella ",...it is beautifully rendered by him.....
Informative analysis of ragas. Great work. 🙏🙏🙏
Thodi in full swing ! I have heard Rajarathnam ! Today we are blessed to hear Thodi such a beautiful raga ! balakrishnan
Those who enjoy this class of Vijay Sir will be humming only Thodi through out the day! Expecting more and more such lectures!!! Namaskar!
Vijay, this series is as good as the music you portray. Thank you for sharing your deep knowledge of Carnatic music to us who love the music, but do not have that experience. You sing each song with such melody and bhavam, I feel like hearing the full song.
I really wonder why Sangeetha Kalanidhi title is not awarded to such a talented musician. POLITICS Eh!?
Talent sometimes failes to what it deserves.
When Lalgudi and Mali were denid the title the politics is very evident.
Super 👍🏻👍🏻
One of the majestic raagas. I've heard Thodi performed by nadaswara vidwans during the full night procession on Vaikuntha ekadesi. Blissful to hear from a distance in the silent night.
Ahhhhh, ever blissful HanumatOdi sPeLL. Time just freezes ... 🙏
Program very good.

Wonderful and info packed.
I have been a great fan of yours since the time you visited my school in Tiruchirapalli back in early 2000s. Wonderful series explaining the intricacies of music and your wealth of knowledge with us. Just sad that the time is very short and it ends very soon. Blessed to hear these videos sir. Do more often especially along the lines of lec dems like the one on panchalinga kritis. Hoping to hear more videos like this. Humble namaskarams.
Wonderful endless todi I like the best ragam todi
Amazing explanation sir thanks 🙏 I always liked thodi never knew the power of thodi
Namaste 🙏 sir. Great series .. 👏 ... one request ... please also include Oothukkadu Venkatakavi's compositions in the analysis whenever possible. I understand that you will be juggling multiple practical logistics to make the video. Just a pleasant request 😊
Amazing Amazing Amazing 🙏🙏🙏
I was surprised that sir missed the wonderful " Sri Krishnam Bhaja
Maanasa sadatham "
Amazing explanation sir.. ❤🙏🙏🙏
Wonderful round up of Todi Kritis !!
Wonderful and elevating Sir! God bless with long life and pl. Continue your noble mission

What a repertoire and comparison and the uniqueness. No doubt a king of raga unique by itself and you said it all. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Very wholesome presentation reflecting depth of knowledge
We are blessed to listen to your scholarly expositions!!! Many thanks for educating us..
V interesting .. v pleasant to hear

Very informative in addition to the excellent rendition

🙏🙏🙏 Beautiful!

So v.nice
Great series...the begining perhaps is the mukhari ragam...love to see more n more episodes covering great aspects
Very good. Please include purandaradasa krithis wherever possible. Please upload Tamil version also if possible
beautiful sir ...Thank u
Excellent video!! Thank you. I was hoping you would include Gajavadana composed by Kumara Ettendra. The chitte swara is simply out of this world.
Vijayasiva is my favorite singer.சென்னைல இருக்கும்போது நிறைய கச்சேரி கேட்டிருக்கேன். அவருடைய குரு கூட பாடும் போதும் கேட்டிருக்கேன்.முன்னதாக ஒரு ரசிகர் சொன்ன (ஸ்ரீ க்ருஷ்ணம் பஜ மானஸ ) நல்ல ஞாபகம் இருக்கு.அவர் பாட்டில் அழுத்தம் உச்சரிப்பு.ப்ரமாதம்.இப்போது வயதான காலத்தில் வெளியில் போய் கச்சேரி கேட்க முடியாத நிலையில் இந்த ப்ரோக்ராம் வரப்ரஸாதம். நன்றி.வாழ்க வளமுடன்.
Superb.
Kadhanu variki in thodi was missed to mention
Super
Interesting presentation showing different aspects of Thodi. Regarding sringara rasam in Thodi I would like to remind 'Balimi ela Balamani ' , a javali of Sri Pattabhiramayya.
Sridevi Padmanabhan
Excellent content and encyclopaedic tour. I was a little confused though why the vidwan has emphasised multiple times that there are no shringara compositions in todi. There are multiple varnams (tana like inta cauka, pada like rupamu juci or kanakangi ni celimi), as well as classic padams like pusa daramu, all in todi. Did I misunderstand something?
🙏🙏🙏🙏👍👌🙌
👋👍💯👏🙌🤚👆
excellent . once our legendary musician Sriman R K Srikantan recalled TNR who played Thodi during Ramanavami procession in Mysore the whole night .. Thanks
Wonderful sir. Please sing Nambi kettavar yevarraiah one day
I don't understand the reason for the pause in brochutaku and kamakshamma
🙏🙏🙏
Sri Krishnam bhaja maanasa of Deekshidar left out. Why?
Hi sir we are big fan of yours please post your Chidambaram songs videos
"Vazhimarai": now rendered in Natakurunji. Why this was changed from Todi to this raga?
Sir, please listen to "Naadamaya" by Dr. Rajkumar sung for a kannada movie. This song has moved every kannadiga!
I appeal to Vid.Vijay Siva and team improve the research to achieve highest quality in this series. In Dasa Compositions maximum use of Misra Chaapu not Shyama Sastri's. No Sringara composition in Todi? What is 'Kanne Neevu' of Kshetrajna?
To me it seems Todi alapanas and swara sancharas are more manoranjaka than kritis (with of course a fair number of exceptions). I wonder if this is because many of the kritis make too much use of the sa and pa while the alapanas and swaras revel in avoiding them?
Ayya can u tell me a bhaghavathar who sang thodi for 24hrs. He is called thodi ***** bhaghavathar.
Can u enlighten me
Thamil plz sir
Subbraya sastri kritis resemble like syama sastri kritis more chittaiswarams composed than syama sastri
I really felt really bad when all these Chennai based musicians forgot to mention the great Purandara dasar
There is no Kirthanam of Purandaradasa. That's why forgot to mention.Might have tuned in later times but no Kirthanam of Purandaradasa in Thodi Ragam.
@@navneethsundaresan6970 Angi tottene gopi, Ariyadavarige, Baro barayya, Davnavanu kondaddalla, Dasa sheshadivasa, Enu dhanyalo lakumi and etc, ghese are few that i know. If you dont know, it doesn't means it does not exist at all...
Then I could also have the complaint that Vijay Siva has not spoken about the majestic Kirthanam of Ettayapuram Gajavadana Sammodita and Swati Tirumal Maharaja's Kirthanam Bharati Mamava.
@@navneethsundaresan6970 But u didn't thats sad... But the Pitamaha of carnatic music and who also even influenced Tansen for that matter is forgotten. I think MLV amma did a great job on Dasar. According to her dasar kritis are more closer to God than other.
Sir, just a very humble correction. Thodi has been used in Shringara rasam by Maharaja Swathi Thirunal in his Pada Varnam - Dani Samajendra Gamini. I am unaware of any others.
It is extremely rare to see a musician in our age, who has SO much Jnanam in all aspects of music - composers, krithis, ragas, Vedic and Pauranik evidence, and what not.
Koti namaskarangal, sir. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
தமிழில் இருந்தால் இன்னும் நன்றாக இருக்கும் என்று நினைக்கிறேன்.no doubt u r versatile,but தமிழ் இன்னும் அழகாக இருக்கும்
Pl educate us in Tamil
Very excellent
But expected that would add compositions of purandaradasar and Mysore vasudevacharya
