Ramya Harish said

Very nice writeup! Brilliant work Murali n Meera!! Meera – Your voice is so soothing thru out and Murali has complimented beautifully. MaNi satham in the bg was so nice. Enjoyed it thoroughly! goes to favorites. I guess nithya& prateek need to pool in special storage for favorites at this rate of wonderful songs!
My recent covers:
Adi Aathadi with Srini
Kadhal kavidhaigal with Joseph
Thendral dhaan with Kumaran
Cheers:)

Rajeev Onv said

Hi Meera, Your rendering is excellent. Though I would have preferred the pure version without the film inspired break at the beginning of charanam it is a great effort. You have a lovely voice and are exceptionally gifted. Keep singing………

Ah….Krishna….Narayana….Govinda….

DIVINE, IMMACULATE and IMMORTAL rendition in both your divine and heavenly voices.
##################################################
Om Namoh Bhagavate Vasudevaya Namaha
##################################################
Wonderfully written divine bro Murali. Indeed your name befits you, so does divine Chechi Meera’s name befit her.

Few more words from my side INSPIRED by the song and with Lord Shri Krishna’s grace to compliment Murali’s words:
##################################################
What is God or how to understand Lord Krishna in the form of Brahman:
##################################################
There are lot of people in the world who have a hard time understanding that God can be an actual person.

God’s unique personal identity is THE highest aspect of the infinite consciousness.
##################################################
Let us look at an analogy to understand the three main features of God:
##################################################
1. Say you are looking at a mountain from a distance. We humans can only make out the shape and size from far off.

This can be compared to comprehend God as Brahman.

God’s impersonal energy emanates from Him just as light shines out from its source.
##################################################
2. Now when we humans move closer to the mountain, a lot of more characteristics of the mountain can be seen like:
the colors of its foliage

Now compare this to understanding that God is within our hearts as Paramatma or THE Supersoul.
##################################################
3. Finally, when we arrive at the foothill of the mountain and further as we explore its soil, vegetation, creatures, rivers and the finite and infinite life in and around the mountain we feel the Oneness with the cosmic energy of the place.

Now compare this to understanding God the person or Bhagavan.
##################################################
Bhagavan is the source of Brahman and Paramatma and is therefore is one with them.

In the Srimad-Bhagavatam, Brahman, Paramatma, and Bhagavan are called the three phases of the Absolute Truth.

##################################################
Lord Krishna is thus the ABSOLUTE TRUTH of life.
##################################################

As per the Vedas our spirit soul is composed of:
1. Eternity (Holy Spirit in time without an end)
2. Consciousness or Infinite knowledge
(So understand that mind is finite knowledge)
3. Happiness (Bliss)

##################################################

Vedas have described Lord Krishna in a beautiful way:
- He is a beautiful youth with a glowing complexion the color of rain clouds
- He plays a flute, attracting the hearts of all
- His cheeks are brilliant
- His smile enchanting
- He wears a peacock feather in His curly black hair and a flower garland around His neck
- His beautiful garments are the color of lightning
- His toenails resemble the light of the moon

Divine Miracle of Lord Krishna, did you realize what you just experienced, wanted to give you all divine souls a piece of it with Lord Krishna’s grace.

DID you see LORD KRISHNA through the subtle INNER EYES. Yes you did with your own faith and devotion. It is said that if you truly try to visualize Lord Krishna with devotion and faith while reading the above description of Lord Krishna as given in the Vedas, then Lord Krishna will grace you with an experience of his form, grace and infinite consciousness THAT VERY MOMENT.
##################################################

This song of divine bro Murali and divine Meera Chechi and Murali’s write up has brought about this piece of knowledge from the Vedas as their devotion and faith for Lord Krishna (Muralidhara) is pouring through this song (praise of God).
##################################################
Rating:
INFINITY of the Krishna consciousness.
##################################################
Favorites:
Favorite that goes into the heart and soul of the infinite consciousness of Lord Krishna.
##################################################
THANK YOU a million * trillion times for making me experience THE DIVINE once more. I am in gratitude to you two divine souls and to the Lord of Lord’s Divine Lord Shri Krishna for bringing me this experience of feeling the ONENESS, ETERNITY, PEACE, INFINITE CONSCIOUSNESS and BLISS ever pervading in HIM.

##################################################

God Bless You….

Dr. priya Rajan said

Thanks Meera and Murali for the beautiful write up.

Truly said …. Lucky are we born as human beings
whose main purpose is to realize the Supreme Immortal Brahman … the invisible Conscious ruling the World in all its glory and majesty.

Knowing one’s Self and seeing the divinity in God’s creation alone helps us to create the bond of love leading to eternal peace.

Man is born for this purpose – God realization – materialistic pleasure do fade away. The acts of good deeds alone will remain as an asset with us forever.

Songs like this just takes us into some eternal realm forgetting the world and always will remain in our memories for ever.

Enjoyed your rendition a lot and appreciate your effort for giving us the joy.
Beautiful song and hope everyone who listens to this will cherish it as much as i do.

Sure for my fav dear and full marks from me.

Good luck both of U.
MUSIC is the language of the soul!

Murali Venkatraman - away from muziboo said

@ Ramya: Glad you enjoyed the write-up ! And thanks for being here first !

@ Rajeev : It was not Meera’s fault that the break was introduced. It was me who arranged it and she played an innocent accomplice. Originally this series was intended to be a tribute to the original movie. So, some of the original stuff has been retained.

@Ranjit : Although I have no religious beliefs, I am a person who pursues philosophy and searches for answers for the questions that arise out of my introspection. However, Krishna themes are very special to me since it invokes an unexplainable love in my heart.

@Priya : As you said, there are questions which run deeper. And in our pursuits of material pleasures, we should not become insensitive to the questions that arise within our mind abut their value. Thanks.

@Nanda : Thank you Nanda ! I am not sure if we can upload all of shankarabharaNam but we will do as much as we can !

@Subbu : Thanks ! Yes the next will be a lot faster. 2 songs have been finished and awaiting release.

@Shampak: Thanks for dropping by and listening even though you have no familiarity with the language. But be assured – both Meera and I are also not very familiar either !

@Srividya : Thanks for your dropping by. And thanks to you for bearing with my absent mindedness.

@Lalitha : Thanks !!

@Sushane : Thanks !

@Tara : Thanks ! For some reason any project that we(as in you and me) are involved seem to get stalled. Hopefully we will work something to completion soon.

@ Arun : Thanks !

@Nandita : Glad to know you liked the write-up as well !

@ Sai : Thanks.

@ Uthra : thanks for dropping by in my blog as well as here !

@ Rupesh : thanks for the comment and favoriting !

@ Ganesh : Thanks. It will be nice to work together sometime.

@ Rashmi : thanks !

@ George : Thanks for dropping by !

Brilliant performance….Meera and Murali take a bow :-)….enjoyed it….

Balamurali Balu said

What a classy work! well done guys!!

Meera, I strongly recommend you to create “albums” (an option available on Muziboo) from your uploads so far. You have already categorized most of your uploads. Its just about adding them to the albums.

Murali, I found out that you are a Chemical Engineer from you super-junior (Raji from CECRI)! Me to man…. Cool!

5/5 from me!

Soothing rendition with the tabla loop and pleasing to the ears.

Liked your gamakams Meera, however the sharp turns in some places would have added more beauty. This sytle was laid-back and soothing however.

Murali … pleasing tone but not sure if the sruthi was perfectly in sync as I felt micro offs in places like 2:29 where the weaving of the tune was not perfectly in sruthi. Also think your tone could have been higher to match that of Meera’s. Nice work nevertheless and overall outcome commendable.

Cheers.

MM & MV,

Spell bound !

There are moments when words cannot express the feelings. This is one of that kind.

Pradip Somasundaran said

Meera, divine voice again. Remarkable rendition. Murali except for some minor off’s here and there esp at 2.40 (kapola) where even the sangathi felt a bit odd you gave good support for the overall feel of the krithi.

Maruthi said

What a song to sing ,Shankarabharanam is the movie pushed me into listening and understanding carnatic …I can say this movie as my guru so far for inviting me into music……
.
Again meera your apogee cuts the mix superbly……nice to hear your youthfull voice in this so much used to listen song……Murali I can see your cinematic binding in this song……some sangathis you have improved upon are good and very attractive ,but more leaning towards cinema kind of improves. Nothing harms the sense of the song anyway.

@Kumar : thanks !

@Kaaviyam : thanks for listening !

@ Maruthi : My basic knowledge of music comes from films. So it inevitably that it would show up in some form or the other. Thanks for the comments !

@ Bharathi : Thanks !

@ Akhil : That was nice of you ! thank you !

Maruthi said

No harm Murali ……even spb has the same attitude in any classical numbers given to him…….this means a classical singer can get rid of that sambar and vadu manga ( or may be vatha kuzhambu and sutta appalam )effect with some common sense and intense try on mimicing when rendering other genre……but the vise versa is a tough job as we havent got that sathagam in a proper way….we will still keep mimicing a vatha kuzhambu with our chenna kurma but with all that aroma ……it will still show up in some way……habits habits.

Absolutely beautiful singing, Meera and Murali. Murali’s voice reminded me of Poornachander’s voice. For the uninformed, Poornachander was one of KVM’s singers and he sang in Sruthilayalu movie composed by KVM again.

Meera, your subtle gamakams and the raaga chaaya were amazing! I am blessed to hear this rendition.

Sorry for the delayed comments after my hurried first comment :)

Murali Anna:-)

I was delighted. Lord Sreekrishna’s idol was carried from Dwaraka till Guruvayur by Guru Brihaspathi and Vayu Deva. They did it with a lot of care. In a similar manner both of carried the song from start till end. I am glad that I heard this version of yours. infinity out of infinity just because the song struck a chord :-)….

I think the raaga for manasa sancharare was composed….is used in a malayalam film song also aathma vidyalayame….:-D

Tn Arunagiri said

Hello Meera/Murali,

well sung by both Murali and you. However, sticking to the original sangatis would have been better and suited your ethereal voices. While I am not an expert, I want to point out that at some places, the clarity of notes could be better. G3 in the descending is the differentiator of this from Shuddha Saveri. For e.g., I see it being glided over, around 2:40 – 2:50 or so.
