thiruvasakam in symphony

Ok For other guys to explain why i kept silent after listening to it....
I literally dont remember what happened to me for those 18 odd minutes. it was like a lightning bolt which hit me and iam not yet out of the shock....i was myself only for the first few seconds or so...When IR started singing 'polla Vinaiyae....' I lost myself and was into a blissful journey. Again i remember a few moments in between when IR sang naathan thaazh vaazhga or pullagi, puzhuvaagi....kanangalaaagi... and there were some lines juxtaposing in between ' how can i reach thou... so lowly... ' I undersand now why sujatha [ who is also an atheist like me] remarking 'enkitta panam iruntha 1 koadi rubaaikku angaeyae check ezhuthi kuduthirupaen'. This was really a life time experience for me.

After i remarked as said by AA, one person got up and started explaining about WCM and all . i just said 'ithu Aaraaichi enakku kedaichathu experience...' Fr.jegath gasper also sided me saying 'aamam itha experience panna than mudiyum'

The experience was so overwhelming for me that, I went there to preorder for 10 Cd's and a special edition, after hearing it i ordered 25 CD"s and 1 SE. Now i have decided to order for 10 more cassettes :)

One advice for all fans out there. for the first time please do not hear it in PC's or any low end system. Get a surround system switch off all lights and start playing the CD. You will be surrounded by so much music and blissfulness that you will never get anywhere else.

Father is very much convinced that If this project becomes a success and reaches atleast 3 lakh units in first 3 months. He can make IR give us such GEMS every 6 months :)

I request all fans to get into this campaign and buy as many units as you can. If you cant sell them let them lie at your home While we Make Raaja Rise above....
Ive started off with campaigning to all i meet from that day.
infact as a counter marketing ive started marketing it to the telemarketers who call me for marketing their products. [ i get atleast 2-3 calls like these every day from banking, insurance, loan agencies etc.,] Whom i would cut off after the initial hello itself previously.

Dear rajasaranam, You are a fortunate soul!! Very eagerly waiting for the release, its a long long long long wait for IR fans!!! love and prayers, vinu.

Who is rajasaranam here?

Thank you, Vijayr! We are taking it up and will keep you informed of the progress! Thanks.
YIA!!

Here are the do's and don't's i had promised!
1. Those who are purchasing the premium package with the DVD, first watch the DVD which will prepare of the sweat and toiling that has taken place to get the final piece which you are about to hear in full! Read also the associated reading materials and famialrize wih the folks involved with this Cd apart from IIR!
2. It is preferable if you read the lyrics and famialirize with this too before listening to enjoy the concept.
3. first-time listening, please make sure you have access to a good sound system possible to enjoy the full effect![ One friend wrote me that he had purchased a 2.7k bose system just for this! i am not advocating this to everyone!!]
4. DO not, repeat, DO NOT listen in your computer at the first time!
5. Late evening setting, is preferred for the fist time listening. Sit in a quiet place, light a candle and some incense sticks, dim the lights, turn the sound system and just close your eyes for the next 60 mts.
6. Control your urge to replay the second song immediately but listen to the entire Cd in one sitting to enjoy the various dimensions IIR has reached.
7. Now, [after wiping away those tears you would ahve sertainly shed by this time, if you are a true music and Tamil lover!], read again the lyrics and marvel at how IIr has captured the 'life' of these graet verses in his music and how everyone has captured the spirit equally!
8.Buy and encourage everyone to buy ONLY the original Cd as mark of respect to the artist who had conceived this great idea.
9. if you haven't ordered yet for your personal copy, please do so immediately by visiting www.tis-usa.com today! remember, this is a GRWEAT GIFT IDEA for the next few months on your list!!
10. Please feel free to send this mail to everyone you care!
11.Last but not the least, please write a line to us at tisusa@gmail.com of what was your experience on your first time listening without fail! we are planning to bring out a book on this soon and your opinions will feature in that.

Have a blissful listening!!

YIA!!

TISK - myself and a friend in Bangalore will be visiting Alliance Francaise and Max Mueller Bhavan personally to speak to the respective Head(s) about TIS - can you send us some posters which we can put up on the bulletin boards of these two offices ?

Bangalore has a lot of German nationals working here, who visit the Max Mueller Bhavan frequently - if at least half a dozen of them buy TIS, word will spread around to Germany as well

please send an email in this regard to irir123@rediffmail.com

THanks
