Purnashadjam... Bliss all the way !

Its been almost a month since I've posted something on my blog. You see, my college has reopened. And although, I come almost daily to the internet lab, I don't login to blogger. Well, today is a holiday... And I can definitely spend some time blogging :)


I was browsing thro' some videos on Youtube, when I happened to notice this video of Mandolin Srinivas rendering a song called Gananayakam in a lovely raga called Purnashadjam set to Adi talam.


This is the first time I've listened to this raga. And I'm listening to the same song for the fourth time ! Quite enchanting !


Purnashadjam, a janya of the 22nd melakartha Karaharapriya has the following Aarohanaa and Avarohanaa : S R2 G2 M1 N2 S // S N2 P M1 G2 R2 S


Sriramana nive in Misra chapu composed by Mysore Sadasiva Rao, Lavanya rama in rupakam and Srimanini in Adi talam composed by Thyagaraja are some of the other songs in this raga.


I suggest you listen to the song below... And get mesmerised by it !
