Aadamodi Galada - A Thyagaraja Krithi

Am going back to the basics. Today I am presenting a Thyagaraja Krithi on Lord Rama.I believe that Carnatic Music is the backborn of any musical form. We are fortunate to have legends like 'Thayagaraja Swami', 'MuthuSwami Deekshithar' and 'Shayamashastri' and so many greats to bless us with so much of great compositions where the learning process is never ending for any music student. Those legends had just music in life and they realized God through their shere devotion.

I want to remember two of my Guru's Late Sri Vaikom Valli Ammal and Sri Late Vaikom Gopalakrishnan who are not with us in this world today. I learned all the basics from Valli Ammal teacher who gave care and love like a mother.Sri Gopalakrishnan sir devoted his entire life for music exploring the vast ocean, sacrificing even a family life. His knowledge in Carnatic Music was so deep that he even wrote Varnams and Keerthanas. Me and my close friend Girish Varma were fortunate to learn even a ragamalika in 72 melakartha ragas composed by Sri. Maha Vaidyanatha Iyer. The Krithi which I am presenting today was taught by Gopalakrishnan Sir. I was very fortunate to have him as my Guru who was gem of a person.

I am experimenting a little bit of raga alapana too in this. Singing Carnatic music is a difficult task and requires a lot of dedication and practice. I am still a student who like to explore this amazing form of music which has unlimited possibilities. I am taking this as an oppurtunity to learn and improve by hearing from all my friends and music lovers.
