- Our Carnatic Music has been enriched by the compositions and the inspiring lives of many composers.
The nucleus of this star , formed many many centuries back, was increasing in effulgence with each century and reached a peak during the 1700s with the advent of The Trinity of Carnatic Music
Sri. Shyama Shastri, Sri. Thyagaraja Swami and Sri Muthuswamy Dikshitar .
A confluence of spiritual thought and Bhakthi that abounded in our country and the sheer genius of these composers saw an era that was very well demarcated. This is a humble attempt to help Students and Rasikas dwell on the greatness of their compositions and lives.
A vast volume of literature, painstakingly penned by many dedicated authors, is available. The salient points of which have been invaluable in the preparation of this episode.
We are aware of the fact that, the sheer volume of the achievements of the Musical Trinity is exhaustive. How much ever we try, there still would be areas which need elaboration.
I am indebted to Sri Venkaiya Raja and Anagha Nadig for all the hard work in putting this together.
Ma'am, Can you do elaborate session with just one raga say, Mohanam and give a sample of all genres in Carnatic music ? Not just RTP or Keertana but Swarajati, Thillana, Jatiswaram and scores of other types - may be in two parts with each genre for 5 minutes. This will be a contribution to the Raga Devathai herself! I think that will be a complete Carnatic world tour and not just a journey! :)
This is a great idea .sorry we noticed this now. We can certainly try and do this soon
Thank you so much for this series. And because of technology, your hard work and also by others, to catalogue the history of Carnatic music, this valuable information will be available to future generations. Lastly, whenever I listen to you sing, it is both joyous and infectious. 🤗🇨🇦

Mam about pancharatn kirthis
Beautiful explanation by Smt GV. Attaining good knowledge about music n many music composer's wonderful things done by them. I am enjoying this, tku madam, I will continue to watch of this your programme, I like very much. Tks once again.
Very happy if this was useful
Akka, is there any difference between pUrvikalyANi n gamakakriya.. name alone varies between Tygarajar n dikshitar composition . Will be happy if u share those details too.. sorry for my ignorance
Namaskrams . I spoke to some elders in this regard and i got the following answer. The use of s r g m d s is typical of Gamakakriya and srgmpdps is common in Poorvikalyani. This is why the prayogams in Dikshitar Parampara are different . Esp in Meenakshi memudam Dehi.
There are some unique prayogas in the Dikshitar patadaras. I will see if i can sing a song and load it in the glossary.

Hi màam, can we keep the photos of trinity in pooja room.?
Certainly as they r all great saints , Purandaradasa , Oothukadu Venkatakavi the Trinity and such great composers are said to have had divine vision several times. 🙏
@@gvcarnaticmusic thank you so much maam, bcoz I hav kept sri muthuswami dheekshitar, sri thyagarajar and sri shyama shanti photos. But I had a mild doubt abt it, coz my mom told not to keep. Thank you so much for taking time to clear my doubts, 😊🙏
They are literally some amsa of God ..
Another beautiful segment .. thank you
🙏
Wonderful as usual. Keep it up madam 👍 👌
🙏
Divinity and Bhakti epitomized. We are so thankful from our hearts to you for such a wonderful episode
Happy to know it is useful :)
I'm getting Divinely feeling. God give you good health.
Thank you
Today's episode was really great. very informative. Can u please inform the utsava sampradaya krithi sung in concerts which you mentioned.
Rakshabetare in BHairavi, Hecharigaa to state a few in Utsava Sampradaya Keertanas
In addition to Hecharika, etc. that GV mentioned, here are some more:

Namaskaram Akka, one question. Is there a specific reason why Shyama Shastri has composed so many krithis in Aananda Bhairavi? Was he one of the foremost to explore this raga? Thank you 🙏🏼
Anandabhairavi is said to have been dealt with only as a folkish Raga till then, I have read that Shyama Sastrigal used the henceforth unexplored contours of this Raga and made it a classical master piece using this raga in many kritis. I will try to add this info from my book in the glossary within a couple of days.
Shyamudu sang mostly on Devi / Kamakshi. Do we have other deity krithis which are not popular ? Just curious.
He sang on Brigadamba of Tanjore and Pudukotai, Neelayatakshi of Nagapatnam and Madurai Meenakshi ( Navaratna Maalika) too.. As he was engrossed in the Puja of Kamakshi being his family niyamam and inheritance his travel may have been restricted is my Thought on this .
😀
Wah
Episode 8 is yet another jewel. Extremely enlightening and delightful. May your Journey of Carnatic Music spread to Guardians of Directions; (ashta disai). Can Imagine quantum of effort put in. Congratulations Gayathri for excellent planning and execution. One can write a lot; let me sum up TOTAL BLISS. God bless you.
Best part was name of Muthuswamy Dikshitar many are not aware. You took us to Vaitheeswaran Koil too. Thanks Gayathri
🙏🙏
Namaskarams Akka... Could you pls briefly touch upon on different Pancharathnam like Kovur, Srirangam, et all... how those were grouped and was it Sri Thyagaraja Swami himself grouped or by his Desciple’s...
sure Sunder God willing we can take it as a topic soon :)
What a lovely question . These Kshetra kritis were sung by swamigal when he visited the kshetra so yes they were kind of grouped as they were composed as far as I know. Also in the next episode we have covered some of his illustrious disciples who welcomed him to their Towns and sing the praise of the dieties in those temples . Kovur , Lalgudi pancharatnams were all born thus.
Gayathri Venkataraghavan Akka, thank you for this detail... would love to listen some of them in a kind of thematic concert with some narratives on those :)
@@sundaresankrajagopalan6461 we did have kovur pancharatnam as a theme some years back will check for the recording
Super akka... looking forward:)
Also, can you experiment the solfa notes with different frequencies? that is sing ri solfa with ga frequency in a popular geetham like vara veena - eg: ga ga pa pa - sing ga frequency pitch only but utter ma ma dha dha...is that something very polluting? I am trying to understand why the solfa syllables sa, ri, ga, ma..etc carry so much value in carnatic (not just because it has its origins in animals)....there has to be some more reason...
What you are attempting will.be interesting to shift scales and sing another raga :)
Lovely excellent
Thank you Maha uncle
