Manasa Sancharare-A haven to the wavery minds...!!



Some problem with my Blog kept me away from posting this.. Firstly Sorry for the Delay of Today's post..

Today's Composition is in the Raga Sama ...A soothing Raga with great prayogas...Famous compositions include Annapoorne Visalakshi and Maravkave O manasa ..Also the all time favorite Varuvaro varam Tharuvaro Ayyan where the Composer waits for the arrival of his lord..

The Composition that we are going to see is One composition That deals with our own Minds.."manasa"

Ragam : Syama or Sama
Thalam : Adi
Aro: S R2 M1 P D2 S
Ava: S D2 P M1 G3 R2 S

Pallavi
mAnasa sanchara rE brahmaNi

Oh Brahman( Supreme spirit of the universe),ramble in my mind

Anupallavi

Your wavy hair is decorated with peacock feathers.Your excellent cheeks reflect like mirror.

charaNam

SrI ramaNee kucha durggavihArE
sEvaka jana mandira mandArE
paramahamsa mukha chandra chakOrE
paripooritha muraLee ravadhArE

Oh Krishna,your looks roam about the fort like bosom of beautiful gopikas.You are the celestial 'Mandara'tree for the devotees serving you..
Your face is like the divine 'chakora' bird which thrives on moon's beams.You are the Supreme Yogi.You play the most enchanting music on your flute.

The composer prays to the Supreme Yogi..The greatest Bramhan To fill his mind..In other Words he asks Krishna Paramathma to remove all other thoughts except the good name of the Lord...

When It comes to the beauty of the Raga I must say the raga in its essence has an effect..One effect that cannot be described in a single word..I would describe it as standing near the tip of a huge Cliff and looking at the vast endless ocean..Music is itself a similar case..
.

The raga is filled with Grace..There isnt one place that you can point out and say "This is the best" when it comes to this composition..The entire Krithi exemplifies a saga of Devotion to the lord..

And for the recording part...Yes..we have three versions today..



Good Night Friends..
Let The Bramhan Fill in your Minds..!!
