About Me

My photo
Hello everybody, this is Sudha here. I am one of the lovers of music. I want to share my enjoyment with all of you. I am the student of Smt.L.Savithri and I did my Diploma in Carnatic Music through Ghantasala Music & Dance College, Vijayawada, Andhra Pradesh with the help of my Guru Vidwan Pemmaraju Surya Rao garu. After I received my Diploma, I continued to develop upon my interest by teaching basic Sanghitham classes to kids and adults. I also participated at cultural events and showcased my appreciation of carnatic music by singing occasionally. For example, I participated in cultural event at Hindu Temple of Florida at Tampa, US. I am also one of the organizers of Annamayya Group of Tampa Bay who had been celebrating both Jayanthi and Vardhanthi of Annamayya for the past 3 years. We performed Sankeertana Yagnam of Annamayya(A tribute of 108 Keertanas for Annamacharya) on May 16th, 2009 in the temple of Sai Baba (Inverness). Recently, I have participated in a fundraising event called Chitram conducted at Hindu Temple at Tampa.

Sree Hari Hrudaya Nivasini

Natakuranji is one of the famous ragas derived from the 28th mela Hari Kambhoji. There are so many kritis in this ragam. "Chalamela" Pada varnam in Natakuranji is very famous. I don't know any picture songs in this ragam. Listen to the following song made in this raaga. It is about Goddess Lakshmi, Lord Sri Hari's wife who resides in his heart. Goddess Lakshmi herself presented in eight forms, called Ashta Lakshmis. Whoever recite Ashta Lakshmi Stotram every day, is free from their bad deeds(Papa karmas) and gain good Karma (Punya).

"Lalithapriyakamalam virisinadi"
Fabulous lyrics, wonderful raagam. Taking the melody of the ragams in Carnatic Music
into film songs is the speciality of maestro Ilayaraaja. Sounding almost like Mayamalava gowla, "Lalitha" is one of the famous raagas. "Lalitha Priyakamalam" is my favorite song. I hope you are all also like this song. I tried to make a small song in this raaga. Here is this. By the way, the above song is from the film "Rudraveena", one of famous Chiru's films.
