Dear All

On the occassion of SSI's 100th Birthday today, Prashant and yours truly have come up with the following pallavi line

paramOttama gAyakam shrInivAsam | sAmavEda rAga priyam ||

can be sung in kharaharapriya (samaveda raga). After all, SSI breathed his life into this ragam and made it his own.

Prashant should sing it for us and upload, and (assuming i am recognizing you correctly), you should play it on the veena and upload it as well - perhaps a combo.

Good idea!
Anushri,
Is a smarAmi, bhajAmi or something else needed at the end of the line to finish the thought?

Waiting for a report on Kalam's speech and other highlights...

Thank you, Bharath.
In the tiruvaiyAru picture, along with ariyakkudi and mahrAjapuram, there is sAttUr Subramania Iyer too.

Thinking of SatturSubramaniam, I feel, though a very capable vidwan, cound not rise to pinnacle of fame, as it was the period when all jambawans were at rheir best. gobilalitha
