013 :Anuragamule - MSG Masterpiece..

Anuraagamule, is one of my favourite songs in Carnatic. I developed a strange affection to the song rather i need to say reverence coz of the raaga name "saraswathi". Needless to say a school student, who has been advised consistently to Pray Saraswathi for knowledge. Probably to please goddess Saraswathi i practised this raaga more frequently and Anuraagamule is one of the few Carnatic Songs I could play without any difficulty and to great extent confidently with my own design and innovation. This also reminds me of the cutchery i played where i spent more than 8 to 10 mins on this song in a 25 min slot.

MSG is my Maanaseega Guru for Violin..and i admire his style of violin..and Saamaja Varagamana (Hindolam, aAdhi) is one of my favourites...here MSG plays my favourite Anuraagamule!!!

Meaning: Divine wisdom will not blossom in the minds of those devoid of devotion. Enlightened souls are well aware of this. Just as satisfaction got by eating a delicious meal in a relaxed manner only those who meditate on the splendour and attributes to the Supreme with a form can derive genuine experiences of bliss

010:Is it by design or accident..?

I've come across several instances of songs getting inspired from one place or other..some times same music director uses the same tune for his other language movies.. Here we can see two famous songs one in tamil and other in telugu by the same Music Director in different names one as Maragadha mani and other one as Keeravani..i was confused in the beginning..later when i wanted to record this i did some research and found out they are one and the same...
