    brilliant singing…you have handled both mandara sthayi and thara sthayi with equal ease, grace and clarity! We are listening to this rare composition for the 1st time and thanks for making it a musical treat. Even after the song ended, the phrases seem to be hovering around our ears for a while. The audio quality and streaming quality were very good. Great post, will keep listening to it again!!

    Hi Dhanya,

    The slow even pace of Bhairavi enhances the beauty of Godess Kamakshi. This is an excellant rendering.

  • Thank you so much for this most meditative rendering of such a masterpiece. Your voice is so soothing and the slight echo in the recording seems to take one to the Kamakshi temple itself. The temple picture selected for the video is so ethereal and mystical. The words of Shyama Sastry in this song, are, in my opinion, some of the most inspired ones in all of Carnatic music. Overall, what a wonderful experience it is to listen to your rendering. Thank you, once again, so much. I am sure I will be listening to it many times over. May Kamakshi’s blessings be on you always,
    Regards

    Dear Madaame,
    Namaskaarams. I was just enthralled to hear your rendition of this Bhairavi song here…I am not sure of the recording here, but i heard it in my earphone like you were singing in a temple corridor, (echo et al)… it just added to the healing effect of the song as i have closed my eyes while listening. Such Bhavam and such spirit you have put into the Ragam.! No words than to say, ‘nanri’.
