Have we ever wondered why our grandma or mother lit a lamp exactly at 6 in the morning or evening before the deities in the puja room? Why they Gazed at the Lord and closed the eyes and prayed? The human mind has been subject to the twin forces of habit and wisdom since its origination millions of years ago. Religious rituals were formulated to educate the common man who was incapable or lazy rather and busy with his 5 sensory experience to spend some time to sit alone and ponder about divinity. Shapes, idols, names were created to make it easy since the mind is habituated to function through the senses. Whatever we see, the mind takes it and stores inside the genetic archive present inside each and everyone of us. So this ritual of lighting the lamp before the lord and praying to it merely points at a deeper philosophy involving the bio magnetism and universal magnetism connection. <br><br>
The Method: Sit in Vajrasanam or Sukhasanam about 2 to 3 feet away from a lamp approximately gazing at it at a 45 degree angle (do not bend the neck or strain it). Gazing should be done with ease. The flame should be unwavering and graceful and subtle. The purpose of lamp gazing exercise is spending the biomagnetism as light wave through the eyes by gazing at the flame with a one minded focussed vision. By doing this during the Brahma- Muhurtham time ( 4 30 AM to 6 30 AM),when the universal magnetism (Cosmic Energy)- Energy is an all encompassing general term- In Vethathriam we will be specific and say Universal Magnetism) is pure and is filling the air . when our biomagnetism is spent through the eyes, The pure, rich universal magnetism or cosmic energy enters our body through the skin and fills it all over. By continuously doing this exercise, the ability to absorb universal magnetism at a faster rate and stock it , is achieved at a geometric proportion. Hence, Bio magnetic stock is multiplied and becomes multi-fold. The absolute space is present all around us as love and compassion, Its inherent qualities. It protects and it holds. It becomes compassionate upon us when the mental frequency is very low between 7 - 14 cycles per second, the alpha level and fills inside our body. When we gaze at the lamp, pour mind is focussed and is at a calm state and does not wander. During Brahmamuhurtha time, ozone layer that is rich in universal magnetism is near the earth. Hence, density and quality of bio magnetism is extremely high.
Bio- Magnetism is always being spent by the sensory organs and even unwillingly it is leaking out off the bod due to the continuous rotation of the earth about its axis and revolution around the sun. Like a river of water in which water is always in movement, old water is pushed out,new water flows in. The body is similarly just a dense passage that retains a certain volume flowing bio- magnetism at all times. But, production and consumption have to be in balance. we often spend more than we receive and generate or as much as we generate. So, one way to save bio- magnetism is to decrease the consumption by practicing panchendriya meditation and appreciating the proper use of the senses and knowing the limit and method of spending precious bio magnetism through it (not overdoing it) and being aware of the cause and effect philosophy and exercising the consciousness and its qualities of pattern, precision and regularity. <br><br> The second step is to increase the income and quality and quantity of bio-magnetism through meditation and preliminary lamp gazing or mirror- meditation exercise.
<br>
When we close our eyes after gazing at the lamp , we are taught to observe our body with the mind and feel the universal magnetism floeing in and filling up the body from toe to head like a water fills an empty bottle. Thus, spending of bio-magnetism is only through the eye but income is through skin. Surface area of skin on the human body is much much more than spending through the eye. Hence, when income is more and expenditure spent is regulated and very less, only excess stock of bio magnetism is spent. Hence mind feels peace or ecstasy. Senses are quiet, we feel the pure qualities of love and compassion and calmness in us. Mind now begins to understand what it is that gives peace or by connecting to what , it gets peace.

Gave a great fusion performance at the Tedx Mambalam Ed conference held this year at IIT Madras. Tedx is a platform for highly eminent speakers who share their thoughts and expertise in their chosen fields. Myself with our band inaugurated this year’s tedx. Bharathiyar poetry was the theme of this performance and I sang “POZHUDHU PULARNDHADHU” which I tuned in beautiful ragas Durbari Kaanada and Behag as the opening and proceeded with “Enadhu Bharatham” composed by Alan pradeep in a rock fusion with Carnatic. The performance ended with “Parukkulle Nalla Naadu” of Mahakavi Subramanya Bharathiyar!

Feeling very humbled and blessed to have performed a Carnatic Classical concert for the “NAVARATHRI MANDAPAM” series organized by Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan , Mylapore, Chennai on October 5 th 2013. I did a thematic concert titled “Bhagyadha Lakshmi Baramma”. This literally means “O Lakshmi! The one who grants all prosperity, welcome!!”. I felt this would be an apt theme for my concert as Oct 5 was the first day of the Nine day Navarathri extravaganza. What better place than the festive, ever-buzzing Mylapore than to begin Navarathri? Beginning with Sri Vigna Rajam Bhaje, a majestic kriti on Lord Vinayaka by Oothukadu Venkata Subbier in Gambira Nattai, the concert warmed up with Kamakshi Swarajathi on the presiding deity of Kanchi, Mother of the universe Kamakshi in Raga Bhairavi. My paataanthara (repertoire) for this kriti, comes from one of my Gurus, Smt. Savithri Satyamurthy is Dr S Ramanathan sir’s padhathi. I felt extremely happy that it was well received by the housefull audience. People love songs like “Nee Iranga enil” in Raga Atana in festive times like these. The kriti made popular by MS Subbulakshmi amma needs just the beginning phrase to grip the audience for the next 3 minutes. I am a huge fan of Shyama Sastri kritis. The bhava with which he addresses Goddess Kamakshi in every one of his compositions, like a son would address his mother, plead with her, humour her, argue with her, everyone one of these rasas flow as a soul-call in his kritis. My concert featured his “Marivere” in Anandabhairavi with the concise two minute aalapana. Following this was my sub-main piece “Saravana Bhava enum” in Shanmukhapriya. I always refer to shanmukhapriya as the PACE MAKER of any classical concert. True to this, it never fails to entertain and engage the listener. The filler song was the not often performed “Vancha Thonuna” with lightning fast swara passages sprinkled in between the song this is a classic in Raga Karnaranjani by harikesanallur Muthiah Bhagavathar. I always love singing this song.
Out of all the ragas , there are certain ones that are most fit for worshipping ambal and one such is the universal raga, Kalyani. Kalyani is also one of the many names of Goddess Devi. “Bhajare Rechitha” by Muthuswamy Dikshithar is a beautiful kriti in this raga with Neraval and Swara passages in “Devim Shakthi Beejodhbhava”.
The heroine of this concert was “Bhagyadha Lakshmi Baramma” and audience response to this was amazing with their applause still ringing in my ears:D. During this song I had that beautiful out-of-body experience and it was as though a higher super-power sang through me and I was just the witness, enjoying the music. Such was the grace of Ambal as I believe she orchestrated the entire concert through me! Navarathri, the festive Kolu atmosphere of Mylapore, Jasmine fragrance in the air, lots of good music, lots of happy hearts, that’s what make every festival special and I am happy it became doubly special with this concert! Videos will be out on youtube soon! Will post links here!
Accompanying me on “Bhagyadha Lakshmi Baramma” were:
Sri Durai Srinivasan – Violin
Sri VS Raghavan- Mridangam
Sri Sunil- Kanjira

Navarasa festival is organized every year by Jupiter Fine Arts. This is Navarasa’s fifth year and it was a 3 day festival of Music , Dance and Drama. I feel happy to have performed on the inauguration day , October 2nd 2013, which also happens to be Gandhi Jayanthi. When the organizers approached me for this concert, they really wanted something unique, not done before kind of thing. Giving it a deep thought, it struck me that we have pure Carnatic concerts happening or Film music shows or fusion kind of shows but would it be possible to provide a coherent package of all the most loved genres for the audience in 2 hours? Well, that’s how SANGAMAM was born. This seed was sown into my mind one fine day and it started taking shape intuitively as I began drafting a list of most loved genres. I personally sing Carnatic, Film music, Bhajans, Ghazals and I have seen Chennai audience enjoying all these genres so much! Also the fact that India is a land of diverse cultureswith every state boasting of a different kind of music, made me feel that this would also be a fitting tribute to Mahatma Gandhi in the language of the soul, transgressing all boundaries- MUSIC.
I immensely thank my team of musicians who made Sangamam possible. I had the violin and Mridangam for classical accompaniment and had keys, table, flute etc for the lighter side.
The 2 hours was enjoyed so much by the star-studded audience and the chief guests for the evening were Dancer and Director of Kalakshetra foundation, Dr Priyadharsini Govind who appreciated the Sangamam concept and thoroughly enjoyed the concert till the very end. Other eminent personalities were Dr Kamala Selvaraj (Daughter of Gemini Ganesan) who was pleasantly surprised and enjoyed “Singara Velane Deva”( Konjum Salangai- Starring Gemini Ganesan and Savithri) (It was pure coincidence , I did not have the slightest clue that she was coming for the concert!, Celebrity photographers G. Venket Ram, Karthik Srinivasan, Actor Jayaprakash, Sri Ranjani and many others.
The proceeds of this show went towards RMD Pain and palliative care trust. I have posted some memorable photos for all of you to see and share and videos will be posted very soon here!!

This concept has been brewing, concocting and filtering in my mind for very longtime now and i am so happy it turned out like the perfect Filter Kaapi!! (Pun intended. Jagadodharana in Kaapi was the highlight of the evening:))With my Lord Krishna's blessings the evening was an entertaining one and was presented by our trust ISAI PAYANAM TRUST which aims at serving society and Music in whatever best and beautiful way we can. The trust gave a donation to Chennai Vision Charitable Trust to sponsor cataract eye surgery of needy people. The cheque was presented to them on behalf of ISAI PAYANAM TRUST by renowned Film Maker Sri. Vasanth (Keladi Kanmani, Aasai, Nerukku Ner, Rhythm, Satham podadhe and much more) who shares special passion for indian classical and Bhajan music and has weaved beautiful songs and soundtracks (many of which are raga based) in his projects. So we thought no one could be more apt than him to be our guest for the evening!<br /><br />Over the centuries, many great saints and souls have glorified krishna Bhakthi through music and their great compositions. Katrinile Varum Geetham is a journey through the many beautiful bhajans and songs of great devotee composers like Meerabai, Purandaradasa, Annamacharya, Oothukadu Venkatasubbier, Bhanudas and other contemporary composers who have described and glorified the many pastimes and leelas of the supreme lord , ocean of mercy Lord Krishna.<br /><br />I commenced the evening with an ode of prayer and vandanams to Vigna Vinashak Lord Mahaganapathi with a beautiful Abhang in Durbari Kaanada (Baje Mrudang tala veena) and later went on to present beautiful bhajans like Mharare giridhar gopal, Kaatrinile VArum Geetham (Meera Movie), Maninupura dhaari (Oothukadu Venkatasubbier), Pachai maamalai pol meni( Thondaradipodi Alwar Pasuram), Kobi Rahini (Madhuvanthi- Meera Bhajan), Jagadodharana (Purandaradasa), Bhavayami Gopala Balam..<br /><br />The highlight of the evening was however Brundavanathil Kannan Valarandha. These days movies are made as bi-linguals, tri-linguals with non tamil heroines being featured for a 5 scene and 3 song and dance routine, struggling to get the words right with multi take dubbing facilities and all other technological advancements. But in 1948, MS Subbulakshmi amma has etched the role of Meera becoming one with the character and charisma of the great saint Rajput princess and ardent Krishna Vratha in tamil and Hindi. Yaad aavey is the hindi version of Brundavanthil kannan valarndha. I presented Brindavanathil and transcended to yaad avey right through the middle. This was indeed a surprise thriller chillar party for the chennai music lovers. I myself enjoyed the thrill and frills(!!) in Sindhu Bhairavi so so much. <br /><br />Another great news is that this show has been shot by HMV Saregama India Pvt Ltd. and will soon be available as live DVDs with CG and voice overs explaining the bhakthi bhava of each composer across centuries of glorifying Krishna as spoken by me during the show for that complete effect and mood much needed to transport each and everyone of you to His Lord's own abode!!<br /><br />Hari Bol..love is God!<br /><br />Some pictures. I was beautifully supported and the concert was lifted to a beautiful level by my accompanists !!Srimathumithahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06930478420039605121noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7298137098075134905.post-63857362801861298452011-10-21T07:26:00.000-07:002011-10-21T07:35:51.605-07:00DINAKARAN DEEPAVALI MALAR SPECIAL FEATURE<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh792DgxIjJLf1EuHKRycWfqwjME9igw8IcnqnSSAuL4IaqHIcHDx7MzvRVgaR1Qawdro8bHbaG0cGUzC2c6XCBOZLIUcjXxjzNJ5GC7lQJZfLCSQsZ1l_4FFD8iQB3Jn5y3PKVmy-pSQE/s1600/DINAKARAN+SRI+5.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 257px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh792DgxIjJLf1EuHKRycWfqwjME9igw8IcnqnSSAuL4IaqHIcHDx7MzvRVgaR1Qawdro8bHbaG0cGUzC2c6XCBOZLIUcjXxjzNJ5GC7lQJZfLCSQsZ1l_4FFD8iQB3Jn5y3PKVmy-pSQE/s400/DINAKARAN+SRI+5.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5665953677980071554" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEQINM9gQ3BYONLCLWB_PtuGxMUcB2-mQ8y_Pu5Kha-lysyvrxhqJp9LPm8dBKgotCA4Fr53PWM_wngTXlmTLrWSd-hjiKtvp1Um0wbKRtwElZ6ev9mwUkkZc385Aiqc18BsQaYHV0oOw/s1600/DINAKARAN+SRI+4.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 244px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEQINM9gQ3BYONLCLWB_PtuGxMUcB2-mQ8y_Pu5Kha-lysyvrxhqJp9LPm8dBKgotCA4Fr53PWM_wngTXlmTLrWSd-hjiKtvp1Um0wbKRtwElZ6ev9mwUkkZc385Aiqc18BsQaYHV0oOw/s400/DINAKARAN+SRI+4.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5665953670429440498" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjl4otkfMGK4FY1IVEFdQKzkfrdHapRM-uz1BJBHwBSPIgWa9lqx_eq7YpslTF6tJ5X5sITEoDOFNOcXJrbU4HbBPIp3_Ie4NbVCtorS5l8GWFHgJmIe8WSARlB2iHxdGE1xnwPKeBR2AQ/s1600/DINAKARAN+SRI+3.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 247px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjl4otkfMGK4FY1IVEFdQKzkfrdHapRM-uz1BJBHwBSPIgWa9lqx_eq7YpslTF6tJ5X5sITEoDOFNOcXJrbU4HbBPIp3_Ie4NbVCtorS5l8GWFHgJmIe8WSARlB2iHxdGE1xnwPKeBR2AQ/s400/DINAKARAN+SRI+3.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5665953669921550562" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRd_D7jlRSWRUKA9jD6HUcgwc8ZKVFLJSuG5AB1Ik2Ipa0HLr19gHkk9b8dFJDwTYpM6uu0ILsrWaSfum1E1aIWtO5k9if-umAeaVP6dpOeRm8GyfXog_Sq9Bg6sf6gQEUrBF6Zcb-sg4/s1600/DINAKARAN+SRI+2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 252px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRd_D7jlRSWRUKA9jD6HUcgwc8ZKVFLJSuG5AB1Ik2Ipa0HLr19gHkk9b8dFJDwTYpM6uu0ILsrWaSfum1E1aIWtO5k9if-umAeaVP6dpOeRm8GyfXog_Sq9Bg6sf6gQEUrBF6Zcb-sg4/s400/DINAKARAN+SRI+2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5665953648335808578" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLfjMQfX4Nq3DgdQuOaLsJWDd6dkU3nOdDUHPa6VT2cynAXRDYWKoXZaJImeOXFxwHaCQBXRIcAAqmc225A8FJi3NgVo2yEXmUXOQPVN_sMkuer57db2lBtJgU6eqvQsD19alw6wHToRg/s1600/DINAKARAN+SRI.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 308px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLfjMQfX4Nq3DgdQuOaLsJWDd6dkU3nOdDUHPa6VT2cynAXRDYWKoXZaJImeOXFxwHaCQBXRIcAAqmc225A8FJi3NgVo2yEXmUXOQPVN_sMkuer57db2lBtJgU6eqvQsD19alw6wHToRg/s400/DINAKARAN+SRI.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5665953642389284770" /></a><br />Hello lovely folks and my dear fans and well wishers!

There is also a really special musical feature about a musical instrument conservatory at Vedal, a village about 6 Km from kanchipuram. Beautiful instruments that speak volumes about the rich cultural heritage of India are preserved and displayed in a nice manner here and it is a delight to see so many interesting instruments all at one place from Thundana to veena to sitar, sarod, Sarangi to percussion instruments like Dol, Khol, Mridangam and very rare ones like Nagra, Thappai, Salangai, Jalatharangam, Gethu Vadhyam among others.

Music conveys every emotion, every feeling and the higher most perfection of music or its very purpose is becoming one with the supersoul, Antaratma or the divine. I consider myself extremely blessed in this aspect as Lord Krishna gives me an opportunity to please him and sing for his pleasure on his birthday, Janmashtami every year for the past two years. Without this concert, my musical journey for a particular year is never complete. Last year's concert was a selection of beautiful Bhajans of Meera bai, Annamacharya, Saint Purandaradasa. This year, when i went to discuss a theme for my concert with the head of ISKCON chennai, i was waiting outside his office. The KRISHNA VOICE monthly published by ISKCON kept on the table,caught my attention. The pages flicked by themselves due to the fan air and stopped at a particular page containing highlights of Oothukadu Venkatakavi festival that happened at Bangaore ISKCON recently. after reading that i had a desire within myself to present an OOthukadu Venkatakavi Thematic concert that year for Janmashtami. <br /><br />Oothukadu Venkatakavi is a 17th century Tamil poet who was born in the village of Oothukadu.Kalinga Nardhana thillana is a master piece by the 17th century composer Sri Oothukadu Venkata subbier. His compositions are a blend of a high degree of Bhakthi towards Lord Krishna combined with highest lyrical, rhythmic and melodic sense that seems to associate itself automatically to his love for Krishna. It is said that he received his initiation in composing songs at the Kalinga Narthana temple in Oothukadu. He did not find a suitable Guru to initiate and grow his initial spark to compose. He was distraught and he pleaded and prayed to Lord Krishna himself, the master of all arts to help him. Lord krishna showered his grace upon oothukadu Venkatakavi by becoming his Guru and initiating him into music. Probably because the lord himself became Oothukadu's guru, Oothukadu's compositions can never be split into music, technique , expertise of structure and soul. It is all blended into one and the amount of bliss that the performer or the listener receives and the measure of ecstasy felt when these compositions are sung or listened to is unimaginable.. It is purely transcendental and belongs in the Vaikuntha plane.All oothukadu's compositions are written in coloquial tamil that is very simple and easy to understand and sway to even by the lay listener. It is even said that Lord Krishna himself was so drawn by Oothukadus love that he came as a little boy and sat on his lap whenever he sang Krishna's praise, pastimes and beauty. The message brought forth by his work is very simple and the absolute truth, Bhakthi and love towards Krishna.. Love for Krishna. It is pure and unadulterated by any other extravagance or pronounced purposeful technicality but at the same time, the inherent woven intricacies can be a big puzzle even to a most knowledgable musician. <br /><br />I have had the good fortune of learning and singing his compositions like alaipayuthe kanna, Pal vadiyum mugam ( Natakurinji), Enna punniyam seidheno ( ritigowla), Maninupura Dhari ( Neelambari), kuzhaloothi manamellam ( Kamboji) right from a very young age and have won prizes in Oothukadu venkatakavi compositions from various sabhas for many consecutive years when i was 8, 9 , 10 , 11 years old!. I have always felt like these compositions attract me in some way, i have always connected with the soul of these compositions in the right way, they have always seemed to flow through me. Everytime i sing them, its like im only an instrument. An interior force sings them through me. I think it is the Bhakthi that runs through them that does the magic each time. <br /><br />Coming back to my concert, Prabhuji surprised me.. I was Stunned when he suggested that i could do an Oothukadu Thematic concert for Krishna Jayanthi. I was very happy and surprised as i had gone in to meet him with the very same idea in my head! It was probably what Lord Krishna wanted and willed. <br /><br />The concert happened at Hare Krishna tenple lawns on Krishna Jayanthi. The atmosphere was blissful, ecstatic and brimmed with love for Krishna. I could see pure devotees sitting everywhere around me. The pandhal was jam packed. Right in front of me were The heroes of the evening, Krishna and his brother Lord Balaram dressed so handsome and looking so beautiful in an apt copper sulphate blue sequined outfits that matched. Our lord had his peacock feather, flute in place. I could see baby krishna in front of me as the idol. The causes of all causes, the ocean of mercy.. the all compassionate lord who had descended on earth only to protect his true devotees and righteous souls from the hands of asura Kamsa and who finished the purpose of his avatara by taking sides with pandavas and vanquishing the evil kauravas at Kurukshetra, who blessed mankind by speaking the Bhagvad gita, the ultimate essence of all vedas, all shastras was born that day. It was special . It was beautiful. I started the evening with Krishnashtakam sloka and sang many beautiful songs of Oothukadu venkatakavi. The highlight of the evening was kalinga Nardhana Thillana.This Kalinga Narthana thillana describes the cosmic dance of the original master of all fine arts, Lord krishna atop the thousand headed deadly serpent Kaliya in River Yamuna. It is evident that the composer has envisioned this dance in a high state of bliss. It is simply awe inspiring with its complex jathi patterns and dramatic pauses. Every listener is sure to be transported to the very banks of River Yamuna where Krishna controlled the serpent Kaliya from polluting the river and at the same time gave pleasure to his devotees by exhibiting this heavenly dance.<br /><br />I could feel the oneness of energy of everyone single person in the audience, we could all feel and see the dance right in front of us. Many of them cried. I was feeling blessed because Krishna gave them and me transendental ecstasy by transporting us all to vrindavan and showing us his dance. This moment was extraordinary. <br /><br />The Kalinga Nardhana thillana and other slokas on Lord Krishna with contenporary back ups will soon feature in My upcoming album. <br /><br />Hari Bol<br />Hare krishnaSrimathumithahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06930478420039605121noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7298137098075134905.post-61845270786927478522011-09-07T21:31:00.000-07:002011-09-07T21:40:36.282-07:00ITS VELAYUTHAM TIME!!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirT3-7ykrmDXjLgxwrV_b6purIrqGUSZuw79KgqqPFmWe_HtbltBQtQ2vGiIEn2oOlmtYgvrJIHRn36y2GagpoUYTa4oq6lWLtZWpr2GZ7D6I-r0qBAl8spCHMN5P4POr1KoPmrolVwW0/s1600/with+vijay.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 225px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirT3-7ykrmDXjLgxwrV_b6purIrqGUSZuw79KgqqPFmWe_HtbltBQtQ2vGiIEn2oOlmtYgvrJIHRn36y2GagpoUYTa4oq6lWLtZWpr2GZ7D6I-r0qBAl8spCHMN5P4POr1KoPmrolVwW0/s400/with+vijay.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5649843939906115922" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitRGk4UFaKT505ZQlFCNRPEi4LkJVMrwdhexjyPXRrcEYeuK6BdYR9ZgP7fNuwndPu4c3bFFtuwQWk0bvHrlD2962fbTIXN5vD8FjcIxyPyBezdzEPGhfUf5ldRAESbNJpsen-LsTyqfw/s1600/DSC00498.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 225px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitRGk4UFaKT505ZQlFCNRPEi4LkJVMrwdhexjyPXRrcEYeuK6BdYR9ZgP7fNuwndPu4c3bFFtuwQWk0bvHrlD2962fbTIXN5vD8FjcIxyPyBezdzEPGhfUf5ldRAESbNJpsen-LsTyqfw/s400/DSC00498.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5649843936356244674" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8XLNsHyTteCo5T9mX7HhkF6QDVPQZVAsK3RRL2Pi3x7LqyxiqDKWZ2Wsc9yMSFKcU5Tv1mLJec2iyTagzxAznMwlI4OAel_g4PbpSMi_JwKxQE1kHFH-eDphyPrzElsp1KB-GZV8KE50/s1600/DSC00497.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 225px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8XLNsHyTteCo5T9mX7HhkF6QDVPQZVAsK3RRL2Pi3x7LqyxiqDKWZ2Wsc9yMSFKcU5Tv1mLJec2iyTagzxAznMwlI4OAel_g4PbpSMi_JwKxQE1kHFH-eDphyPrzElsp1KB-GZV8KE50/s400/DSC00497.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5649843934198186370" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivpPH1IPqoPoRkT8Qvkx15q9c0a9TIMDHDgvy-QjKDwSIytI6amXj90csZXs7U0d-zH0jaSNb_ixC6MsJ5kULFyz_fYzrqJXYOy1CjeOeODg5ZIu2nFyCbu7CZ7CHz7T1OrDgXWUXN8fA/s1600/DSC00493.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 225px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivpPH1IPqoPoRkT8Qvkx15q9c0a9TIMDHDgvy-QjKDwSIytI6amXj90csZXs7U0d-zH0jaSNb_ixC6MsJ5kULFyz_fYzrqJXYOy1CjeOeODg5ZIu2nFyCbu7CZ7CHz7T1OrDgXWUXN8fA/s400/DSC00493.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5649843927978105794" /></a><br />Hello my lovely people!<br />Its been so long since i blogged so first let me apologise for that. But im coming back here only to give some great news to all of you! this time its BIG! yeah, i am talking about the biggest movie and the most sensational songs thats on everybodys lips, Vijays Velayutham. I have sung Rathathin rathame song in the movie in hit maker Vijay Antonys music. Its a lovely song with very energising lyrics by Annamalai and pulsating Rhythms. <br /><br />The audio of Velayutham was launched in a very innovative way at CSI grounds, Madurai amidst lakhs of enthusiastic and devoted Ilayathalapathy fans. unlike the used up and beaten way of launching audios at a theatre in chennai by VVIPS, Vijay himself went amidst the crowd and picked two fans, a little girl and a boy to launch unveil the velayutham audio. It was a really cute gesture given the fact the stars are stars because of fans and people who love them!<br /><br />Music composer Vijay Antony sang 'Naa adicha thangamaata' from vettaikaran and the finale was a live performance of Velayutham songs. It was party time when Chillax, Sonna puriyadhu and Rathathin Rathame were performed. Really, the welcoming and the vibes that we all recd from the crowd cant be described in words..if at all, it may be then there is just one word to describe it, feverish! <br /><br />Here are some pictures that i want to share with all of you.. thanks again for your love and support!Srimathumithahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06930478420039605121noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7298137098075134905.post-31566574911011868072011-07-05T04:17:00.000-07:002011-07-05T04:19:10.859-07:00Interview for DEVI Magazine ( Tamil)<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKUje8t8Vs7QFF3u_2TgmRvz0g0OrA3GYtWLB5abT4Xby9vx-vWYfvutA1TKn79FZVshE3aqV7GyM4EhMw4CV8wxE6d0spiV7xWMRDOC_u-dEdQy508jzKfY-g2b0ZmqnLDfAF_3Gg8kw/s1600/Sri+Devi+2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 309px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKUje8t8Vs7QFF3u_2TgmRvz0g0OrA3GYtWLB5abT4Xby9vx-vWYfvutA1TKn79FZVshE3aqV7GyM4EhMw4CV8wxE6d0spiV7xWMRDOC_u-dEdQy508jzKfY-g2b0ZmqnLDfAF_3Gg8kw/s400/Sri+Devi+2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5625825920979303394" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEik4nJKfTyAffBfJjuv-teNXDo-FDgpteTFYQWx967Iu0YEFcKzF1gwRsQ94qiZYzNnQD8-ZFLorWZpYbKTw4vMX4VWDBeLKgyvLtt94KpZUGaxhAcWlzXsTCKsZmw8PGn_khNxnCEug7Y/s1600/Sri+Devi+1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 314px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEik4nJKfTyAffBfJjuv-teNXDo-FDgpteTFYQWx967Iu0YEFcKzF1gwRsQ94qiZYzNnQD8-ZFLorWZpYbKTw4vMX4VWDBeLKgyvLtt94KpZUGaxhAcWlzXsTCKsZmw8PGn_khNxnCEug7Y/s400/Sri+Devi+1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5625825921978637906" /></a><br /><br />Posted above, is my most recent interview for Tamil weekly DEVI.

Tamilnadu has finally experienced a change and a good one at that! woman power seems to be reigning supreme at all sides of the nation with Mamta, Jayalalitha, Sonia gandhi makes waves and amma being declared a Chennai super queen, the mighty men have been pushed aside quite forcefully! ISAI CAFE celebrated that super woman this week with super hit songs and highlights of the bubbly, charming actress Jayalalitha who ruled hearts with her angelic face, electric dance and vivacious acting in the past and continues to rule hearts in the present as the compassionate amma who has rid Tamilnadu from an Iron grasp and long suffocation!<br /><br />Jayalalitha was introduced by doyen Sridhar in Venniradai in which she portrayed the intense role of Shoba, a young girl subjected to the hardships and confusions of life who ultimately takes to widowhood and concedes to a philosophical way of life. A role much beyond her actual age of 16, a role any girl would find difficult to comprehend, Jayalalitha did it with much ease walking away with the garner, and praise of the critics and public alike. What followed in her skyrocketing career, was a long professional association with Puratchithalaivar MGR beginning with her legendary role in ayirathil Oruvan and continuing with other memorable roles in Kaavalkaran, ragasiya police, Rickshawkaaran, Adiman penn and many morely, which ultimately led to her plunge into politics,with the same MGR becoming her godfather in politics also . With each movie, Jayalalitha soared higher and higher in Stardom and charisma.A master of all arts, she learnt Bharatnatyam from the prestigious Vazhuvooraar school and even tried her skills at singing. She has sung beautifully 'amma endraal anbu' from Adiman penn and said the stylish english dialogues from the song "naan endraal adhu " with SPB in Sooriyakanthi. She did jolly movies like Motor Sundaram pillai, Galatta Kalyanam and even played the quintessential wife stuck with a egoistic, inferority complex struck husband in movies liek Sooriyakaanthi. Enjoy super hit solos and interesting tidbits from the golden career of the golden girl AMMA Jayalalitha, a fitting tribute to her sparkling life, vision, wisdom and superwomanhood..<br /><br />Filter kaapi- Anandabhairavi<br />Feat.

Gautham Menon is one director who has catapulted surya to a different league and fetched him many female fans!! Who can forget the smart physique and romance filled body language of the stylish and suave Surya in Kaaka Kaaka?? Surya- Gautham- harris combo has been deadly for close to 8 years now, with every song becoming a super hit. but not to forget, it was Yuvan Shankar Raja who gave surya his initial hits in many movies like Poovellam Kettu paar ( The espanic O senorita), Mounam Pesiyadhe, Nandha and many more.<br />So we present to you, hand picked Surya hits including the love ballad Munbe Vaa from Jillunu or kaadhal, the only surya starrer with the magic touch of AR Rahman.<br /><br />Surya Hits feat.

Muthuraman was known to be a very gentlemanly non-fussy good looking hero who carved his own niche in the hearts of Tamil cinema fans. muthuraman's physique and good looks and features were unparalled despite the dominance of mega stars liek Sivaji and MGR. Muthuraman's forte was substantial feel-good cinema and rib-tickling comical flicks like Bama Vijayam, Server Sundaram, kasedhan Kadavulada.Muthuraman hit an all time high on popularity with Sridhar's Kadhalikka neramillai. he was any director's pick for jolly and happy-go-lucky roles. Muthuraman also paired opposite Jayalalitha in many unforgettable movies Suriyakanthi playing the quintessential husband filled with confusions and complexes ( the sella kaasu ) dialogue is very famous!<br /><br />Karthik followed his father's well carved path. He was introduced by ace director Bharathiraja with the movie 'Alaigal Oivadhillai' that has become an ode to tamil cinema given the sensitive subject of inter-religion love, karthik-radha sizzling chemistry and mesmerising music by Isaignai Ilayaraja who always seemed to have a soft corner for karthik. He has crooned many of Karhtik's trademark songs like raja Rajadhi( agni natchathiram), Veetukku veetukku( Kizhakku vaasal). Like his father, Karthik later on moved to the comedy territory with blockbuster Ullathai alli thaa directed by Sundar C.

This week i am all set to provide all of you a lovely treat of a potpourri of old classic of "Naatiya Peroli" Padmini's yesteryear golden hits. Padmini debuted with 'Manamagal'. Following that she did several movies with ruling stars like Sivaji Ganesan in movies like Nenjirikkum varai and Thillana Mohanambal, the jewel on her crown of movies. Her emotional and realistic portrayal of the dancer Mohana's character which is torn between devotion and love towards her art and love for Nadhaswaram player shanmugasundaram played to perfection by Nadigar Thilagam has etched her deep in all our hearts. Trained by vazhuvoorar in Bharatanatyam, her dancing skills played perfect support to her beauty and chemistry with Sivaji. In this weeks ISAI CAFE, we have tried to cover all her gems like 'Maraindhirundhe paarkum' in Shanmugapriya aptly composed by KV Mahadevan to convey her longing for Shanmugasundaram!! , Nalandhana, Mannavan vandhanadi, Mannika vendugiren, one of the very few light duets with Sivaji. <br /><br />Coming to this side of the show, none other but the vivacious and sensous actress and ace dancer Simran rules the roost on Cappuccino. We have chosen special songs like Manam Virumbude, Thottal poo malarum, Nilavai kondu vaa ( Her ticket to the throne on the hearts of all south indians), Udaya and many more.
