Amba kamakshi-Swarajathi-Semmangudi Srinivasa Iyer

Guru Me tvaam Namami Kamakshi..!!!


Wanted My First post to be auspicious..Ambal Kamakshi my Ishta devatha came to my rescue...Hear is the all grand swarajathi by Semmangudi Srinivasa Iyer-The sangeetha Pitamaha at his best an out of the world Bhairavi

For the lyrics and notation check out :

The genius without whom Ananda Bhairavi, Saveri and so many other ragas wouldnt have taken shape at all....
The composer of the Todi, Bhairavi, and Yadukula kambhoji Swarajathis...
Pranams to this Noble soul on his janmadinam...!!!!


Now coming to the theoritical part and the lyrical beauty:

1. The 8 Charanams of the swarajathi ascend to the top in the order SRGMPDNS
2. The Swarajathi contains the Raga Mudhra :Bhairavi in the last charanam
3. Woven in very simple telugu to a considerable extend, the swarajathi is more complex in its laya beauty.

Point de resistance:

• Gmgrs Pmgrs..The phrase at Pavani Gadha
• Dp g*r* sndp gr..at vipudumakabhayami (7)
• G*M*G*R* S*R* Napai devi Parakelanabrova ve ipudu shri Bhairavi (8) 

Shall brief about bhairavi some other time..

After having heard this a 100 times..The ultimate Neraval Lines Haunt me..I wonder as to what made the pitamahar's music that Pristine...Hard work says it all....For today.. Enjoy this.
