SURYAASHTAKAM
Ragam Bowli, Thalam Misra chapu. (Music composed by Sri.Neyveli Santhanagopalan.) *This item is in praise of the sun God intermingled with the rhythm patterns. The central piece is the very popular Maharaja Swathi Thirunal’s krithi-“Bhavayami Raghuramam-set to Varnam format-in Ragamalika and Roopaka Thalam. Bhavayami starts in Ragham-Saveri, followed by Bala Kandam & Sundara Kandam-in Poorvikalyani, Yuddha Kandam-in Madhyamavathi. This beautiful krithi is preluded by Navarasa Rama Slokam. It is based on the Ardhanari from of Shiva and his consort Parvathi. Ardhanarisvara represents the synthesis of masculine and feminine energies of the universe and illustrates how Shakti, the female principal of God, is inseparable from (or the same as, according to some interpretations) Sivha, the male principal of God. The concluding item is Thillana in Ragham-Kapi, a composition of Sri .P.R. Venlatasubramanian, which emphasizes that Lord Rama and Lord Krishna are but two manifestations of the Supreme Lord Vishnu. Let us all chant HARE RAMA HARE KRISHNA and get the blessings of the Almighty.
