🔸This album is to commemorate the consecration of the Ayodhya Sri Rama Mandir today (22nd January 2024).
🔸Specifically, it is to celebrate the welcoming of Saint Tyagaraja’s Rama in muraļigānam into Ayodhya. To be a little more specific, it is to welcome Sri Rama with the words of Saint Tyagaraja rendered in muraļigānam by Dr Mangalampalli Balamuralikrishna (BMK).
🔸That this event is taking place in our lifetime is our great fortune of many life times. That we have chosen to celebrate it in this manner with seven soulful renditions of BMK is to offer all of our devotion to Sri Rama musically, melodiously and mellifluously.
🔸This album opens and ends with two popular verses describing Sri Rama’s greatness and devotion of Hanuman.
🔸Then follow two kirtanas, one each from Divya Nama Sankirtana (DNS) and Utsava Sampradaya Kirtanas (USK) respectively, in which Tyagaraja excels in looking at Sri Rama with devotion and description unparalleled.
🔸The fourth item is a kriti in raga surați in which Tyagaraja is checking with Sri Rama the reason for the latter not yet pouring his mercy on the saint.
🔸The next two kirtanas are one each from USK and DNS respectively. Tyagaraja’s way of endearing to Sri Rama through his literary prowess is unmistakable.
🔸The album thus has seven glorious items aptly selected to build the mood for the event.
In this album, Sri Rama is looked at as bāla Rama, Lord Rama and the great King Rama.
🔸BMK has captured and presented the mood of each composition to convey infectiously to the listeners the power of devotion, the majesty of lyrics, the melody of music, and the grandeur of Sri Rama in all aspects as Saint Tyagaraja saw it through all of these. BMK has done it with all the celebrated parameters of muraļi gānam.
🔸Some unique aspects of the Tyagaraja compositions presented here are - they are not often rendered; every composition is complete with all the charanams; and some are rendered as a group.
🔸The discerning listeners will not miss the efficacy, the natural musicality and the simplicity of the name, Rama.
🔸Please enjoy listening to this album and be blessed!
