May 1st 1965, was the day Sri GNB passed away.

In memory of GNB, I present my composition in the Raga Shivashakti which GNB brought to life, along with some other miscellany:

Well it is indeed a tricky raga that too to distinguish with varamu. I see there is just swaras , u say swarajathi but i was expecting lyrics too , they are not there. Thank you for sharing

Rajeshnat - Thanks for listening. By definition, Swarajati may or may not have a sAhitya, while a jatiswara will *never* have sAhitya. So, this composition can qualify as a Swarajati. And who knows? Someday, I might add sAhitya lines too :))

Some artist can then lift your swarajathi and add it to shree chakra raja nilaye and then your composition gets appended as cittaswaras to GNB masterpiece. I always thought swarajati should have sahitya.

There is only one other song i know in this raga:
Taga, Taga Tagavendru Aadome, Sivashakthi Shakthi endru paadome. Bharatiar song prefixed with a small vrittham kind of thing . The raga was very suitable for the veera rasa and inspiring spirit of the song. Haunting number. Worth listening.
Sung by Nithyasree in the album Ragam. But the version she sang did not have any slightest confusion on Varamu. It was true Sivasakthi ragam.

Last year in Udukattur Mutt, Sakethraman and Vishaka Hari presented an RTP on Revathy,Sahana and Siva sakthi for Maha Sivaraathri series.Though there was shades of varamu in the VKH's part, SKR 's presentation of Siva sakthi was good.
