Bindumalini

[revanthv552]

This is really pleasing raga...can someone put more light about the details of this raga...
i have heard "Entha mudhdhO entha sOgaso" of thyAgaraja and annamacharya's "meruguchekkula alamelu manga..." Are there any krithis in this ragam by recent composers
or anyother composers..heard that there is a thillana in this ragam too..are there anyother krithis in this raga?

[Shyamalajr]

Thanks Lakshman for the huge list of songs in BinduMalini which happens to be one of my faviorite ragams. There is one more song by Subramania Bharati 'Kaayile Pulithathenne' that is also sung in BinduMalini

[rajesh_rs]

There's an awesome performance of Bindumalini on youtube of a young (10 year old) U Srinivas. I remember seeing it yesterday, but didn't bookmark it. Please post the link if available.

revanthv552, Here are few details of this raga. Suggestions/corrections welcome from rasikas, if I am to be corrected.
This rag is an upanga raga and janya of 16th mela chakravakom. The arohanam and avarohanam of this raga is: S G R G M P N S - S N S D P G R S . The notes GA in Arohanam and note Ni in avarohanam are the vakra swaras.
The raga evokes bhakti rasa and has quick magnetic-type attracting effect to any listener irrespective of their level of music knowledge. Dr. (Mrs) Baby Sriram (w/0 Padayappa fame Sriram) used to sing the song "enta muddo" often in her katcheries, followed by a detailed raga vistharam. Raga vistharam appears to be difficult for this raga as very few musicians attempt it prior to the song to be sung in this raga.
I have heard nagaswara vidwans often play in this raga after detailed alapan. No doubt this raga is an auspicious raga, may be a minor type.
Radhe Krishna
Hariharan.

Mandolin US has played RTP in this raga many times.

[rajaglan]

yes, this raga is more often palyed by Mandolin U srinivas. In his commercial release "ragasnagamam " and sangeet sartaj" ,
both have entha muddo

[VK RAMAN]

Has some one the lyrics for Enta Muddho?

[VK RAMAN]

Thank you Lakshmanji.

[vpadmana]

There's a song that goes
'Oru nAlum maravAtha varam tharavEndum
Shivane Shankarane Parane JadAtharane unnai (oru)'
that I've heard Nithyasree Mahadevan sing. That is also in the rAgA Bindumalini. Unfortunately, I do not know who the composer is.

[kishorepalle]

I feel that Bindhumalini is a wonderful choice for karuna and bhakthi rasa. Please listen to my compositon at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jnAdB4kbfzU

[hvaidaya]

Few downloadable songs are available in "arvindsdad.blogspot.com"

[shrinik]

Is it possible to get the lyrics/notation and audio for ramachandran sishtala krithis?
Thanks

[Lakshman]

Balamuralikrishna had recorded some of these kritis on cassettes some years ago.

There is a lesser known RTP in this raga rendered by Vid. Neyveli Santhanagopalan.

[SrinathK]

bindumAlini is a speciality of the Lalgudi school, so here : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y7WX8FeUhzc

From Kosmik Music's Youtube.

[SrinathK]

This kabir piece (mOkO kahAn) by a 10 year old Sooryagayathri is in bindumAlini and it is just out of this world : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kZCgStafklE

[SrinathK]

I have heard 3 tillAnAs in this raga - one by LGJ, one by Chitraveena Ravikiran,

And today I heard this one - as an orchestral piece : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s3RiiYWGRl8

From their own channel - "...Composed nearly a decade ago by Sindhuja, with Tamil lyrics by Viji Bhakthavatsalam, this thillana has now come alive with a rendition by four vocalists Sindhuja Bhakthavatsalam , Kamaladeepthi Vempati, Shravan Kumar Ramani and Geetesh Iyer giving it a rich, orchestral feel. The music arrangement by Nagaari is a combination of traditional live instruments – flute (Agastya Sridharan), veena(Kavitha Jayaraman), and keyboard (Ashwin Seshadri) as well as modern electronic and synthesized sounds...."
