Dear Rasikas,
Week 200 of Raga Surabhi!!! Doesn't it sound really great?
We are sure all our rasikas are equally thrilled and excited as we are and what a fantastic musical journey it has been all these 200 continuous weeks! Raga Surabhi thanks each one of you on this special occasion, for this has been entirely possible because of your support, encouragement and motivation and we continue to look forward to all of it going forward!
This week we are glad to take up a long pending rasika request, one of the famous Thevaram hymns, 'Kolaru Thiruppathigam' of Thirugnana Sambandar. It is believed that regular chanting or even listening to these padigams helps one overcome the evil effects of planetary motion. The most popular version of this hymn is by Seerkazhi Govindarajan in raga Shankarabaranam. One might have occasionally heard the first padigam 'Veyuru tholipangan' as a viruttam in Carnatic concerts. Uma has sung the 11 padhigams in a Ragamalika format, choosing ragas of her own choice. We hope you will find it enjoyable, would be nice if you can share your feedback on this.
Yes... we are coming to it next... We know you cannot wait any longer to know about our special quiz :) Click on the link below to get to our Special Quiz - Week 200 and get started right away!
