thiruvasakam in symphony

Let me assure 'uv' that I am an ardent devotee of Mother Ammaachi and I have no words to describe the great blessing Ammachi bestowed upon me where she 'chose' me in USA to come to HER with the CD's for offering to HER! It is one of the fulfilling moments of my life and all my belief and words I had been constantly posting here that 'I am not worrying about the lack of recognition for our [TisUSA's] work here but am confident that it will be recognized at the 'approprite place', has been vindicated with 'AMMA's call that day and that too on that day of US release!
I will write more about this very soon as promised.
In the meantime, dont be too harsh on Bala. He was of great help and was one of the 3 who came with me at the CALL and hence SHE knows it well! Thanks. Let's move on with other good things.
YIA!

Guys

After hearing to Polla vinayaen a few times, I wish APN was alive to make a music video of it. Only probably he could have done justice.

"I ask you to support his gesture and donate to his website."

njv sir,
avanga paNNaRudhu 100% piracy. adhukku edhukku sir donate paNNanum?

vara vara thirudan thirundhinA avanukku podhu janam `donation' kodukkaNum'ngaRa level'kku pOyittirukku ulagam:-(

In Polla Vinayen song , Just before rendering "Nama Sivaya Vazga ... Nadandhal Vazgha.." there is line " Omkaramai Nindra Meiya.... Om..." this line comes out with a big bang of violins.. drums and et.c, followed by the hymming of "Nama Sivaya Vazga ... Nadandhal Vazgha.." and joining with the chorus and Raja singing ... creates awesome atmosphere....

Folks, I am absolutely not qualified to post reviews on TIS QUALITY, but the "Polla Vinayen" song is just too much. I have reviewed the song in my own little way. The energy is just too powerful to handle, and as a result I am NOT able to listen to the song more than 4-5 times a day !! Did any of you feel the same way?? It is similar to meditation. I always feel a COMPLETE drain of energy after a 10-15 min meditation session.

Anyway, I have listed below the TIMES durations in all the places where I got the goose pimples....

TISK -> Just for your information:

Ammachi stays in my aunty's house in london and my uncle is the president of the UK Friends of Amma association..She is indeed a great saint..

I was blessed to know HER since 1980 and am a devotee and a great admirer of HER service activities, ever since.
More about this visit later!
I have all respects and adoration for HER and SHE knows it!
YIA!!

Dear please 'Ammachi' 'Ummachi' ellam vittuttu Thiruvasagathukku vaango :)

Raja use to say about his film music what ever you heard is like appalam and oorugaai I can serve a full course meal, he made it true by composing "Tiruvasagam in symphonic Oratorio" appalam and oorugai are also present in the full meals,yes there are some shades of his old music in this. But the total output makes a person Amazed and puzzeld how these are possible, there are lot of things in this musical to analyze, discuss and appreciated, since I lisent it only once this much is what I can say :!: :!: :!: :!: :?: :?: :?:

Guys
TISAUSTIN thanks. No offense taken.
Lets move on.
Rajasaranam from your earlier response I sensed some little disappointment in you that its Rajas old 70s80s mixed with oratrio ?

I just got the CD yesterday thanks to Dr. Sankar Raman, who also promised to ship me the DVD later. I met Raja Sir for the first time in Hyderabad Airport in 1996, went to him shook his hands(what a soft hand) enquired about the symphony and other questions. He was kind and answered all my questions.

Coming back to TIS.
Being a spiritual person I listen to this album in a different way.
The music of symphony is all about harmonical movements.
Raja Sir music on this, is intricately woven as wave after wave
each phase has its appropriate pause and silence when required
as someone said in the Namashiva vazgha that chorus part is just awesome sending goose bimbles. It really pushed me in too deep spiritual mode.
I don't have words to describe this for now. The music just touches and imbibes into your soul, it will happen to anyone who is willing to listen to it with open a heart and mind. What we have here is an extraordinary peice of work that will be there for future generations to listen and learn upon there is no doubt about that. In fact in my personal book Raja Sir is there among the Mozarts and Beethoven.

The time signatures are so complex , I dont' know how many people would have understood that and sung it.

I will write my experiences later in my blog
