Dumbledore said that Happiness can be found in the darkest of times if one only remembers to turn on the light. And I think music too, can be found in the unlikeliest places and times, if one only remembers to look for it! Love this delightful episode to pieces.
Can words convey how special this episode is? As a Carnatic music student, the level of relatability went beyond the horizon of my joy! The jokes my cousin and I crack about music sometimes like, "Which is the poorest raga?" - Mohana, as it doesn't have MaNi (money)! ( Jokes apart, mohana's richness is not measurable!) From figuring out the shruthi of the cooker whistle, to reciting konakkol matching the pace of the beeps produced by a malfunctioning speaker, I keep getting teased about it and today I sat, grinning throughout the episode! Another part of the video that is extremely close to my heart and will always be, is the memory association. Being greatly interested in music's cognitive power, I also do small-scale researches and surveys on "Sangeetha Chikithsa". How music, or a song can be associated to the most random of memories and how it can help cure mental disorders. And what better genre than Carnatic classical music with it's complex, yet charming organisation with so much attention to details and aesthetics? So here I am, sitting in my house, being haunted by yesterday's kambodhi, thodi, rageshri and revathi, and today's sriranjani! One thing's for sure, anyone who hears you, is sure to fall into the depths of your music and can be found boating in the seas of Ananda!
This is lesson to youngsters. If you want to reach the goal in any form of art or other you have to live with it , travel with it and enjoy the same. Thank you for sharing a new face of learning to the upcoming generation. Thoroughly enjoyed the session with hearing a pleasant Krithi and a story. Thank you so much.
Ranjani and Gayatri Akka I could relate to you and I am also a carnatic music student learning from malladi suribabu(father of malladi brothers)student. Could relate to many of your jokes shared. And I also feel the same that if you want to achieve something in any field you have to live and enjoy it. Right now I am living and enjoying the carnatic music. What a magnificent kambodhi. I also crack such jokes and me and my cousin(Rakshita Ramesh)a B grade Veena artist use to play carnatic antakshari where we sing songs ending with the last letter. Through this and such games music has been fun for me and I enjoy and learn many things. An ardent fan akka
Thanks for such a fun filled episode. Again, amidst all the jokes and laughter was something profound - Learning happens through the most remotest of things. And a continuous process. How I wish the children of this generation took some cues from this episode. Only if they could emulate even a fraction of the simplicity and humility that both of you have grown with. Be it walking to the class, rides on the bus or on trains. No frills, no fancy gadgets, no exotic holidays, no big party bashes. But a life of continuous happy learning and absorbing. Most importantly, childhood memories keep the inner child alive. No matter how old one gets, there is always a child within each one of us. And that came out today in ample measure. I read somewhere, People who have fond memories of childhood, specifically their relationships with their parents, tend to have better health, less depression and fewer chronic illnesses as older adults. Your Father’s contribution in your star status has been immeasurable and phenomenal. But on the flip side, he had two doting daughters who were willingly doing all that he said. So that was a rare Win-Win! In essence, “There in every memory See his love and care Strength and hands to count on Freely he does share Provider, toil so faithfully To make our dreams come true Give strong and tender discipline Though it is hard to do A Father is God’s chosen one To lead the family And to point it to His will for life Of love and harmony” God bless you both! You will soar to reach greater heights.
These sessions are very good. It helps us know the little things done in the past that helped build the RaGa sisters as we know today. It is also clear...RaGa sisters centered around music and music centered around RaGa sisters. Very enlightening sessions
“How novel the idea of Sriranjani Swara season sung at Raghupate,Ninuvina....” That was my reaction when my children’s guru SmtPappu Padma Ravi shankar Garu had taught and made them sing for a concert back in97. I used to take my children to the classes and Padma Garu was generous to let me sit initially and later insisting me to learn a little that I could. Hence I can connect with your candid episodes. Thank you for bringing back our memories too. Always looking forward for your episodes.
Awesome sharing Sisters!Since the software you both were born with was loaded with music in every cell of your body it was music and music everywhere for you unlike selfies for the commoners!Prayers for a long life for you both. God Bless!
Monday mornings are the most awaited part of the week!! You are my role model ma'am. So happy that you share everything with us. I have no words to express how much happiness your music gives me. The connection you have with your audience is immense. I always end up in tears whenever I come to your concerts or listen to your music. Thank you so much. Just a small request, can you make a video for a few ragas and their highlighted swarams, how to start singing an aalapana and this basic training...I know so many people including myself, who try aalapanam but don't know how to end it or go with it. Thank you
Thank you for sharing the wonderful dimension of connecting happenings around us with music. Also, a lovely rendition of Brochevarevare. When I visit a relative's home, friend's house, out of station stays etc. , the thought of how musically fit the place would be to play violin always creeps in.. also trying to reproduce the sounds coming from the kitchen, the gates etc.
I always enjoy the vocal chords echoing the beauty of a Kriti or a Raaga San percussion score or an accompanying instrument, but just the mild Sound of Thamboora Supporting them. Recently, I happened to listen to, experience & enjoy a few such beauties from a few artists in the U.T. This Sweet Sri Ranjani Krithi gently flowing from your vocal chords joins that elite band creating a "Feel Good' mood within me this Week Beginning and made it a Lovely Morning Today. ThanQ very much. We look forward to such spellbound spells from U every week. I maybe greedy, so too, other music enthusiasts like me. Hope, U will oblige our Requests as frequently as possible, if not every week. Seeing this week's Ra Ga Candid Poster showing one of U holding the bowing instrument, we thought, U R going to enthrall as with a Violin Duet. Hope, that too will happen soon. Thanx.
Hello madams.... Ur concert yesterday was mind blowing.....started a beautiful composition of Muthuswami Dikshitar in shudhadhanyasi Sri Parthasarathy....then went in to heavenly poorvikalyani.... A composition of Tyagaraja paraloka saadhaname.....next the Dasara krithi in kaambhoji kandu kandu was very nice....I loved it..then came the majestic Thodi with a graha bedam into arabhi...a beautiful krithi ninne namminaanu...and the Nerval “Kaamakshi Kanchadalayatakshi” was mind blowing..the RTP in Rageshri was so beautiful...”Shriyamdehi Annapoorneshwari Sadaapoorne Suvarna Vayragya...and then came the ragamalika ugabhoga followed by Aparaadha Naanalla...AHA! Then ended the concert with tha abhang of Janabai in desh ....I was and am thirsty for more....I hope to attend more ur concerts...hope to see u soon...
Ah this episode is a lauded one of all ! Extremely beautiful one . And when you both start off in an impromptu with a sing , it sounds the best . Honestly I can listen to you two talking all day . What beautiful smiles you possess! The childhood stories and memories of yours are gem amongst the episode . What a beautiful childhood you had !! I can only imagine two little cuties walking and holding each other's hands . Aww !!! So cute . You two might have been the cutest toddlers out there . And this episode is delightful as always and love to pieces . Those anecdotes are brilliant . Why ! gayatri mam used o believe in those mysterious stories that the elder friend of hers ould have told , needless to say , it's now me believing so badly in her mysterious music that she carves and brings forth like a magician . Love you so much Gayatri aunty and Ranjani aunty . 😍💗💗💗💗💗
Very interesting anecdotes. So much dedication to music. Its no doubt you both were born with music in your blood! Loved the BEST double decker bus anecdotes. This shows how both of you found music everywhere! Amazing dedication!
I marvel at the kind of childhood you had.. it was such a blessing to have had such an upbringing.. thanks to your parents and God for such a wonderful experience that you had and also passing on the experiences to us all.. such an inspiration !!
ரொம்ப நன்னா இருக்கு மா...ஆனாக்க, வீடியோ சீக்கிரம் முடிந்துவிடுகிறது. God Bless You. In childhood you both have lived music, breathed music. So music is(was, has been and will be) your oxygen. 👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏
The stories that involve your appa are my favorite! What a delight you both must have been to a parent who seems to love music almost as much as he loves you two. You must bring him on as a guest speaker one of these days :)
Yet another wonderful and very interesting episode by Ra Ga candid explaining the link to their beautiful music cherishing their beautiful childhood memories...Awesome sisters.
Great musicians great experience of musical journey & memorable childhood. Just I loved it. It may be anybody's experience in their childhood cases may be different.
Brochevarevare - this word automatically brings an emotion and bhakti. Listening to RaGa akkas singing on monday morning is delightful. The episode is filled with many candid childhood moments, thank u so much for sharing these with us. As rightly said "Learning happens continously..", we often forget to realize this. Thanks for the yet another amazing & memorable concert at Chowdiah yesterday. Still lingering the purvikalyani , todi , rageshri , desh abhang.
Beautiful Sriranjani!... it is so beautiful to here ur stories and experiences & music every Monday morning ... as we all are more energised and happy 😊 after watching the candid !... Thank you very much... it’s very much true that life itself is a learning process , that’s why everyone say whole world is our guru... namaskaram 🙏🏻
Going through this episode, (it has been my favorite so far), shows how you are what you are today.. Looking at all the ways you had fun with music, I can definitely say you were swimming in the ocean of music throughout your life. I guess you barely ever came to the shore. No wonder how natural you are doing what you do now..pulling us all into the ocean of music as well. ❤❤❤ A personal question.. Do you think your kids have the same fun now as well? Or they have different interests and different perception of fun? This I'm asking to understand my own self. I was brought up with a lot of spiritual stories and saints and having Darshan of Mahants etc.. Which I'm not able to give my kids. I feel guilty sometimes but they don't seem to enjoy what I enjoy anyway. So maybe I'm just a stuck soul, lol.
Really enjoyed listening to a whole song this time RaGa akkas!🎶 Brochevaa Revare and Sangita Gnanamu as you mentioned in the video,are 1 of the short and sweet keerthanais that appeal every rasika,and how smoothly u sang swarams at the end of each line!👏 Thanks for sharing the musical games you played in your childhood!☺
Thanks to both of you for sharing those joyful learning experiences! I liked the musical game that you had designed and played on the double decker bus. Innovative way to learn music and fun filled too!
After this episode I really felt that you are really blessed and myou are seeing everything in musical perspective. God has blessed you both . Thank you sisters for this most awesome musical experiences.
Having moved to Chennai recently from Sion, Mumbai, I love to hear you talk about Matunga, King's Circle, Shivaji Park and Shanmukhananda (incidentally, I have also learned Carnatic Violin from there 😊). You have lived and breathed music all your life...what an incredible learning environment you have had! Looking forward to next Monday!
Awww how refreshing and a pleasant memory it would have created by playing a song or two in the favorite spots that you visit !!!!! Enjoyed your conversation thoroughly♥️♥️♥️♥️
Thousands Namaskaram madams when ever i listen ur music ill forget this world. Thank u very much yesterday i was there at choudaiya hall what a rendatation of kamboji, thodi, and ranjani madams first allap i forgot name of the raga. I was completely last. and one more thing the concert shuld have started at 6 i missed rangam thanm pallavi and abhag also last time also it happend same thing i left in between the concert it was too late. I felt very bad because i stay in Pg 10.30 will be closed so i had to come before 10.30 plz next time i start at 5 o clock plz plz its my humbel request..
Totally explains your astounding singing that never fails to move! Apart from the saraswathi kataksham, having lived everything through music has also made you into such legendary musicians! Awesome concert yesterday. Ranjani s neraval in thodi and Rageshree was so beautiful and outstanding. Your brilliant rendition of Ninne nammi, Gayathris effortless magical adhbudtha sangathis and phrases and crystal clear mel sthayi sancharas peppered throughout the concert - it was sheer magic. Was totally worth the 1 hour commute. Thank you so much!
It was quite unbelievable for me personally to hear that some people at such young ages can actually drown in the technicalities of music to this extent. These girls must have born with a lot of Sadhana in their earlier lifetimes. Can not wait for Raga’s next concert here in the summer!
Hi. EP-14. This one has to be heard many times to cover the intellectual bondage, with 🎶 (music). Wishing the episodes that lead to century through silver golden platinum jubilees. So much so far. Thank you, both.
What a musical journey, beautiful memories ! Even a bus journey in Bombay was so musical! Thank you for sharing . Our Monday mornings are so musical. God bless you with health and happiness.
Mam, thank you for considering our request of singing one full song. It was divine. It was a pleasure to hear about yr practise session especially the tram experience. I could visualise it. 2 small girls running from one pole to another singing swaras. Thank you for sharing it.🙏🙏
Beautiful video...What did you do on a typical concert day in chennai and others abroad. ... Any special preparations... Also, how do you take care of your voice.. Do you have a fixed diet or any special medication... Pls do share your experience and valuable knowledge with us
So beautifully sung.you have explained so well how music can be intertwined with our day to day activities and also give us joy n peace .your anecdotes about your childhood experiences are both funny and rich with lessons.awesome♥️
Amazing interesting stories of the music learning being integrated with the daily living It reiterates the importance of learning with the full support of the family. You both have been fortunate and may Swāmi bless you both through my prayers for you and your family
Namaste Akka's. Exciting moment to know althoroughout the episodes, how music is twined with the blood that flows inside you! Absolutely inspiring and knowledgeable videos. As a request, would love to witness the (rare these days) violin duo of you Akka's in any upcoming episode. Thank you 🙏🏻
Respected RaGa duo A welcome change, a full song, if permitted I would demand a full song each episode Kambhoji alapanaa, wow, amazing Learning as you told right can be every moment The train experiences n music experiments lovely Best regards Srihari
My dear dear Akkas your journey is soooo creative. Love the idea of the double decker bus game. Wish I had such an upbringing. No wonder you guys know so much!!!!
so so nice to hear you both talking about your childhood. Matunga and Sion - the two suburbs that are so close to my heart. Your father must be so proud of you illaya? RaGA I love you.
You voices are ringing even in my dreams... That much im addicted to you... i get instant peace and happiness...will keep listening to you all my lifetime...
Thats was really such a soulful session...it was amazing to learn that, for an ever absorbing mind, every little happening around will help in fine tuning our field of interest / passion... Thanks a lot.. once again.. Ranjani and Gayathri mammm...
Very interesting and memorable stories you have🎼🎶thanks a lot for sharing with us. Brochevarevare is simply beautiful🎼👌🌷waiting for the next Monday Candid RaGa to listen to another beautiful story as well as another Krithi🎻🎤🙏🙏
Music is such an internal part of life this is so much evident in Ur session Akka a great respect towards Ur father who is been so supportive in Ur life that's the greatest blessing
Omg! Can’t believe my luck! Your brochevaarevare has been haunting me ever since the day I listened to you in Chowdiah for RK Srikantan’s Centenary and I have been searching everywhere for your version of the Krithi and here it comes! Anyways, I absolutely love this episode because of the vivid way in which you have put across chronicles from your life. They are actually extremely engaging and quite relatable. Also, I’m absolutely awed by yesterday’s Rageshri, Thodi, Kambhoji and Desh! Pls pls do sing Ram Nam Manatha for Ekatvam Holi Fest! Loads of Love ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ (Thankyou for lightening up my Monday evening)
Awesome!!!! And the associate stories were funny 😂😂😂. I'm inspired by your childhood and lifelong experience of music, looking at everything with music's perspective, literally gives me chills! ❤🙏. Loved it❤😍. Thank you for sharing with us all your glorious ethereal experiences
Loved this episode. Listening to ur dhanyasi identifying episode , have a small Request. Please dedicate few minutes every episode to sing key phrases in your own inimitable style ... may be upto 20 ragas one after other for raga identification. Dont name the ragas but we will do the guessing n update the comments box. You can mix it with known n rare ragas so that we learn new ones.
I always love listening to your songs in the morning, and naturally due to morning rush, I do stupid things like pouring water on floor going with the tune of your song!
Its excellent episode.. finding happiness in music.. In carnatic many krthis are in telugu without knowing the meaning of the krithis we cannot be expressive. What are the all practices done by you to be expressive or bavathamaka please can you share your experiences regarding ths
A very good rendition..I would just like to bring into your notice that a few words in the keerthana were misspelt..the third charanam goes like 'vaalinokka kolanesi ravi baaluni raajuni gaavinchi juchi'(not kolalesi, not rajugaga, 'raajunigaavinchi' is a single word) and the last charanam starts with 'Bhavaabdhi tarunopayamu' (not taranopayamu)..A good rendition though!loved it!
Dumbledore said that Happiness can be found in the darkest of times if one only remembers to turn on the light. And I think music too, can be found in the unlikeliest places and times, if one only remembers to look for it! Love this delightful episode to pieces.
What a wonderful analogy!
Can words convey how special this episode is? As a Carnatic music student, the level of relatability went beyond the horizon of my joy! The jokes my cousin and I crack about music sometimes like,
"Which is the poorest raga?"
- Mohana, as it doesn't have MaNi (money)!
( Jokes apart, mohana's richness is not measurable!)
From figuring out the shruthi of the cooker whistle, to reciting konakkol matching the pace of the beeps produced by a malfunctioning speaker, I keep getting teased about it and today I sat, grinning throughout the episode!
Another part of the video that is extremely close to my heart and will always be, is the memory association. Being greatly interested in music's cognitive power, I also do small-scale researches and surveys on "Sangeetha Chikithsa". How music, or a song can be associated to the most random of memories and how it can help cure mental disorders. And what better genre than Carnatic classical music with it's complex, yet charming organisation with so much attention to details and aesthetics?
So here I am, sitting in my house, being haunted by yesterday's kambodhi, thodi, rageshri and revathi, and today's sriranjani!
One thing's for sure, anyone who hears you, is sure to fall into the depths of your music and can be found boating in the seas of Ananda!
This is an anupallavi kind of a comment for this episode :) Enjoyed reading !
Absolutely love this comment!
So beautifully said!
Musical.minds think alike ..dont they !!!!👍
this comment is as beautiful as the video!
This is lesson to youngsters. If you want to reach the goal in any form of art or other you have to live with it , travel with it and enjoy the same. Thank you for sharing a new face of learning to the upcoming generation. Thoroughly enjoyed the session with hearing a pleasant Krithi and a story. Thank you so much.
Ranjani and Gayatri Akka I could relate to you and I am also a carnatic music student learning from malladi suribabu(father of malladi brothers)student. Could relate to many of your jokes shared. And I also feel the same that if you want to achieve something in any field you have to live and enjoy it. Right now I am living and enjoying the carnatic music. What a magnificent kambodhi.

Through this and such games music has been fun for me and I enjoy and learn many things. An ardent fan akka
Really wondered. So beautuful singing of brocheva without any accompaniments. Realized that pure music always unique and independent
Thanks for such a fun filled episode.
Again, amidst all the jokes and laughter was something profound - Learning happens through the most remotest of things. And a continuous process. How I wish the children of this generation took some cues from this episode. Only if they could emulate even a fraction of the simplicity and humility that both of you have grown with.

Most importantly, childhood memories keep the inner child alive. No matter how old one gets, there is always a child within each one of us. And that came out today in ample measure.
I read somewhere, People who have fond memories of childhood, specifically their relationships with their parents, tend to have better health, less depression and fewer chronic illnesses as older adults.
Your Father’s contribution in your star status has been immeasurable and phenomenal. But on the flip side, he had two doting daughters who were willingly doing all that he said. So that was a rare Win-Win!
In essence,
“There in every memory
See his love and care
Strength and hands to count on
Freely he does share
Provider, toil so faithfully
To make our dreams come true
Give strong and tender discipline
Though it is hard to do
A Father is God’s chosen one
To lead the family
And to point it to His will for life
Of love and harmony”
God bless you both! You will soar to reach greater heights.
These sessions are very good. It helps us know the little things done in the past that helped build the RaGa sisters as we know today. It is also clear...RaGa sisters centered around music and music centered around RaGa sisters. Very enlightening sessions

Very nice to listen Brochevarevare. Thanks a lot RaGa sisters. please welcome with வணக்கம் as well. thank you. waiting for next week.
Awesome.Great sisters finding music in each and everything you experience.
Chaala baga paderu mee iddaru. 'Hathambu' a perfect expression. Thanks a lot for this kriti
Very interesting anecdotes. So much dedication to music. Its no doubt you both were born with music in your blood! Loved the BEST double decker bus anecdotes. This shows how both of you found music everywhere! Amazing dedication!
Very nice to listen to your music rememberers. Thank you 🙏 for sharing! Raghpathae!
I marvel at the kind of childhood you had.. it was such a blessing to have had such an upbringing.. thanks to your parents and God for such a wonderful experience that you had and also passing on the experiences to us all.. such an inspiration !!
Thanks a ton for starting us off to another wonderful week! And for sharing all your experiences with us. You two are such an inspiration.
Beautiful childhood memories, sisters. Thank you for sharing it here.
ரொம்ப நன்னா இருக்கு மா...ஆனாக்க,
வீடியோ சீக்கிரம் முடிந்துவிடுகிறது. God Bless You. In childhood you both have lived music, breathed music. So music is(was, has been and will be) your oxygen.
👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏
My favourite Krities and as usual Divine singing thank you dear sisters. Very interesting
Monday morning Inspiration.... To practice, to create memories with music, and these videos act as a capsule for a week's time. Thank you Akka's. :-)
The stories that involve your appa are my favorite! What a delight you both must have been to a parent who seems to love music almost as much as he loves you two. You must bring him on as a guest speaker one of these days :)
Yet another wonderful and very interesting episode by Ra Ga candid explaining the link to their beautiful music cherishing their beautiful childhood memories...Awesome sisters.
Great musicians great experience of musical journey & memorable childhood. Just I loved it. It may be anybody's experience in their childhood cases may be different.
My favorite kriti...Thank you for singing...
Last year we enjoyed your concert at Nurani Kumbabhishekam. Dinvine experience
Another candid episode each one more enjoyable .. the level of music in you can be understood with that double decker bus game. Amazing!
Brochevarevare - this word automatically brings an emotion and bhakti. Listening to RaGa akkas singing on monday morning is delightful.
The episode is filled with many candid childhood moments, thank u so much for sharing these with us.
As rightly said "Learning happens continously..", we often forget to realize this.
Thanks for the yet another amazing & memorable concert at Chowdiah yesterday. Still lingering the purvikalyani , todi , rageshri , desh abhang.
Beautiful Sriranjani!... it is so beautiful to here ur stories and experiences & music every Monday morning ... as we all are more energised and happy 😊 after watching the candid !... Thank you very much... it’s very much true that life itself is a learning process , that’s why everyone say whole world is our guru... namaskaram 🙏🏻
Going through this episode, (it has been my favorite so far), shows how you are what you are today.. Looking at all the ways you had fun with music, I can definitely say you were swimming in the ocean of music throughout your life. I guess you barely ever came to the shore. No wonder how natural you are doing what you do now..pulling us all into the ocean of music as well. ❤❤❤
A personal question.. Do you think your kids have the same fun now as well? Or they have different interests and different perception of fun?
This I'm asking to understand my own self. I was brought up with a lot of spiritual stories and saints and having Darshan of Mahants etc.. Which I'm not able to give my kids. I feel guilty sometimes but they don't seem to enjoy what I enjoy anyway. So maybe I'm just a stuck soul, lol.
What a lovely episode taking us to your Bombay days. I was living with you. Awesome Sri Ranjani.
Universe conspired to make you who you are. Look forward to this every week.
Thank you for singing such a beautiful song...and your childhood memories, awesome and it shows how much efforts you had taken without realizing it...
Really enjoyed listening to a whole song this time RaGa akkas!🎶 Brochevaa Revare and Sangita Gnanamu as you mentioned in the video,are 1 of the short and sweet keerthanais that appeal every rasika,and how smoothly u sang swarams at the end of each line!👏 Thanks for sharing the musical games you played in your childhood!☺
Thanks to both of you for sharing those joyful learning experiences! I liked the musical game that you had designed and played on the double decker bus. Innovative way to learn music and fun filled too!
After this episode I really felt that you are really blessed and myou are seeing everything in musical perspective. God has blessed you both . Thank you sisters for this most awesome musical experiences.
Having moved to Chennai recently from Sion, Mumbai, I love to hear you talk about Matunga, King's Circle, Shivaji Park and Shanmukhananda (incidentally, I have also learned Carnatic Violin from there 😊). You have lived and breathed music all your life...what an incredible learning environment you have had! Looking forward to next Monday!
Awww how refreshing and a pleasant memory it would have created by playing a song or two in the favorite spots that you visit !!!!! Enjoyed your conversation thoroughly♥️♥️♥️♥️
Astonished to listen to a brilliant imitation of GNB's brigha ladden gamakas ! Also the experiences shared are very relatable to a carnatic musician!
Brocheva - excellent rendition by youboth(RaGa).Thanks for sharing your sweet memories.
What a beautiful way to spend your childhood days, really enjoyable episode thank you
ஆஹா.. ஆஹா.. எனக்கு வேறெதுவுமே வேண்டாம் 💙எந்நேரமும் உங்கள் இசையைக் கேட்டுக்கொண்டிருந்தால் போதும் 💜💜😘😘🤗🤗

Wonderful episode... Thank you for sharing those childhood memories with us. And your narration is so.. soothing .
Totally explains your astounding singing that never fails to move! Apart from the saraswathi kataksham, having lived everything through music has also made you into such legendary musicians!
Awesome concert yesterday. Ranjani s neraval in thodi and Rageshree was so beautiful and outstanding. Your brilliant rendition of Ninne nammi, Gayathris effortless magical adhbudtha sangathis and phrases and crystal clear mel sthayi sancharas peppered throughout the concert - it was sheer magic. Was totally worth the 1 hour commute. Thank you so much!
Our loving RaGa have disclosed another trait of themselves being a raconteurs. Enjoyed the narration.
I loved this ra ga candid with your childhood experiences and relating music
It was quite unbelievable for me personally to hear that some people at such young ages can actually drown in the technicalities of music to this extent. These girls must have born with a lot of Sadhana in their earlier lifetimes. Can not wait for Raga’s next concert here in the summer!
I am lost for words to express how amazing this episode is👌👌👌👌👌best wishes dear sisters..
Hi. EP-14. This one has to be heard many times to cover the intellectual bondage, with 🎶 (music). Wishing the episodes that lead to century through silver golden platinum jubilees. So much so far. Thank you, both.
What a musical journey, beautiful memories ! Even a bus journey in Bombay was so musical! Thank you for sharing . Our Monday mornings are so musical. God bless you with health and happiness.
Madam thank you for sharing so interesting. I really enjoyed.

Mam, thank you for considering our request of singing one full song. It was divine. It was a pleasure to hear about yr practise session especially the tram experience. I could visualise it. 2 small girls running from one pole to another singing swaras. Thank you for sharing it.🙏🙏

Fantastic mam for sharing your memories. Can you please play violin for us mam. Eagerly waiting to hear mam.
Omg! Can’t believe my luck! Your brochevaarevare has been haunting me ever since the day I listened to you in Chowdiah for RK Srikantan’s Centenary and I have been searching everywhere for your version of the Krithi and here it comes! Anyways, I absolutely love this episode because of the vivid way in which you have put across chronicles from your life. They are actually extremely engaging and quite relatable. Also, I’m absolutely awed by yesterday’s Rageshri, Thodi, Kambhoji and Desh! Pls pls do sing Ram Nam Manatha for Ekatvam Holi Fest! Loads of Love ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ (Thankyou for lightening up my Monday evening)
I thank your Appa for training you so well we are fortunate to have such great Vidushis you RaGa sisters. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Awesome!!!! And the associate stories were funny 😂😂😂. I'm inspired by your childhood and lifelong experience of music, looking at everything with music's perspective, literally gives me chills! ❤🙏. Loved it❤😍. Thank you for sharing with us all your glorious ethereal experiences
Such a wonderful episode with such wonderful anecdotes 😍😍❤️
Loved the Krithi! But thoroughly enjoyed the long tales... as someone who has vivid imagination, I remembered my share of manhole stories.
Please tell more stories like this. The song brocheva revare is so mesmerizing.
Loved this episode. Listening to ur dhanyasi identifying episode , have a small Request. Please dedicate few minutes every episode to sing key phrases in your own inimitable style ... may be upto 20 ragas one after other for raga identification. Dont name the ragas but we will do the guessing n update the comments box. You can mix it with known n rare ragas so that we learn new ones.
Lovely session.
So nice to hear your childhood memories.😍
I really enjoyed 😊 your childhood memories ❤️ super sisters
What a beautiful episode! Love your series :) Thank you for this!
The aura they radiate..Amazing☺️
Very thoughtful memories..Thanks for sharing such beautiful and cute stories akka's. 😀
It is not 'candid'. It should be called Raga Candy ! Sweet candy ! Thanks for the nice series.
I always love listening to your songs in the morning, and naturally due to morning rush, I do stupid things like pouring water on floor going with the tune of your song!
Hello madams!! 😊 Can u explain us how u compose a very satisfying RTP??
Thanks a lot for making wonderful and informative sessions 🙏🙏
Its excellent episode.. finding happiness in music..
In carnatic many krthis are in telugu without knowing the meaning of the krithis we cannot be expressive. What are the all practices done by you to be expressive or bavathamaka please can you share your experiences regarding ths
A very good rendition..I would just like to bring into your notice that a few words in the keerthana were misspelt..the third charanam goes like 'vaalinokka kolanesi ravi baaluni raajuni gaavinchi juchi'(not kolalesi, not rajugaga, 'raajunigaavinchi' is a single word) and the last charanam starts with 'Bhavaabdhi tarunopayamu' (not taranopayamu)..A good rendition though!loved it!
Hello! One personal query. If you don’t mind. Do you get your contrast matching sarees that you both wear
R specially woven? 😊
From a Mumbai drain to the Caspian Sea! haha, could be the plot line of some movie!
Can you please share videos on how to practice violin
And my being wants more and more of this!!
Such beautiful memories 😍😍
