And for some of them it is said that they should be got from a guru. then is it necessary to get it only from a guru?<br />Thank you madam,<br />Sushmasushmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15503992125708549958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8876476586808141865.post-43233821243184485632011-12-29T06:45:43.096-08:002011-12-29T06:45:43.096-08:00Dear Ms. Priyadarshini,

I have loved the Shyama Shastry Swarajathi Amba Kamakshi all of my life and would like to create my own choreography. However being raised in the US, translation and understanding the meaning the composer is trying to get across has been difficult. Any suggestions as to where I can acquire the translation of this beautiful composition. <br /><br />Thank you<br /><br />PriyaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13541884474938450895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8876476586808141865.post-28494289935536147882011-10-27T20:20:51.738-07:002011-10-27T20:20:51.738-07:00Dear Ms. Lakshmi,

Sathya from Delhi...
I...Good Day Gayathri Aunty..<br /><br />Sathya from Delhi... <br />I was the most happiest person to get a reply from you... i couldn't believe. <br /><br />Ok mam, here I go.... About verses of soundaryalahari.. I have listened to my mom singing it everyday. But now understood, the real essence is to actually feel the meaning of every word in it, and giving it out whole heartedly. <br /><br />The first time i followed and listened to music was when I listened to Hindolam, played by you in an album. The beauty in which the notes measure the octaves, made me to feel the warmth and magic of music especially Hindolam.<br /><br />More to it how lyrics, Ex. in Eti Janmamithi By Sri Thyagaraja, the nuances of framing the lyrics into beautiful varali, really they are genius. <br /><br />In Amba Kamakshi swarajathi, how brilliantly Shyama sastri placed the lyrics,Anu Dinamu Maravaganee... in a soothing bhairavi. Realising the meaning of the composer, and his boundless devotion to Devi in lyrics, really made me to feel and enjoy how music gives meaning to words and generate what Bhakti actually means rather than what we see in daily life.<br /><br />Gayathri Aunty, <br />I am reading your posts one by one and understanding little by little of it. It would be so nice if you would also post discussions on compositions by our Trinity.... and bring out the essence of them, which made them to reach Divinity through music. <br /><br />SathyaSathyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00167315212790712101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8876476586808141865.post-3775158360334605892009-04-19T10:14:00.000-07:002009-04-19T10:14:00.000-07:00My dearest sister,Sham,Your appreciation means the...My dearest sister,Sham,Your appreciation means the world to me,thank you so much for your love and support!Veenaagayathrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17870493124318092517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8876476586808141865.post-24151701830275192722009-04-18T23:57:00.000-07:002009-04-18T23:57:00.000-07:00Congratulations!
