One raga at a time: Shankarabharana

[Rsachi]

An auspicious beginning for this kingly raga:

This is so comprehensive it is hilarious! 138 samples of Shankarabharana in ONE playlist on Youtube:

Great collection! But no 72 is Vallagadanaka in Harikambhoji. Heard that one anyway.

[Rsachi]

Sir, hats off to you. That song (Vallakadanaka means don't say it is not possible!) is listed as in Shankarabharana in both my books! Anyway, what a terrific collection

[bhakthim dehi]

Vallagadanaka , usually sung in harikambodhi is the version popularized by Umayalpuram school. Valajapet disciples sing the same krithi in shankarabharanam.

[Rsachi]

Thank you sir.

Peace ... Tranquility ... Zen....

Thank you Varsha. Whereas I would love to soak up the Shankarabharana, a likely phase 2 phase surge in last night rain around midnight has killed off my modem, Wifi booster, several power strips, bulbs and two Macs. You can imagine the crisis of my life. Will need to spend blood, sweat and money to restore order. Meanwhile, Shankarabharana will go on in my head.

[rshankar]

How awful! My sympathies. Sachi - hope you get to fix the damage as soon as possible!

[Rsachi]

Fixed the BB modem. Cost Rs 200. 2 Macs down. UPS down. Two powerstrips down. Netgear repeater blown off. Bulbs blown off. Well. Cost may be ₹20K.
Thanks for the commiseration. Doing more with less is key. That's it.
