BRAHMA KADIGINA PAADAMU (VEENA AND VIOLA) (YouTube link above)

Ragam-Mukhari, Adi thalam and composed by Annamacharya. 

The rendition of Brahmakadigina Paadamu was picturized in the great temples, Sri Kamakshi and Sri Varadarajaswamy temples of Kanchipuram for a musical series produced by Sri. Govind Nallappa and telecast by Doordarshan in the 80s.

A unique combination of Veena and Viola with the viola played by none other than the legendary late Dr. Balamuralikrishna! His mastery over the instrument was amazing! The audio was recorded in Sangeetha Studio (Sri.Guruvayur Dorai- mridangam). Our action was filmed as we played our instruments according to the recorded audio version. The video was shot in bits in Sri Kamakshi as well as in Sri Varadarajaswamy temple, Kanchipuram.

Many devotees and vedic brahmins gathered around us to watch the film shoot. Dr. Balamuralikrishna's casual banter and jokes put me at ease as I felt painfully shy and self-conscious during the filming.

The temple prasadam (of pulihara-tamarind rice, chakkara pongal-jaggery rice and vadas) was served as lunch in the thick foliage of mango and various other trees in the backyard of Sri Varadarajaswamy Temple. 

The 2-day shoot in the holy and pure atmosphere of these majestic temples will forever stay in my memory!

Om Achyuthaaya Namaha, Om Ananthaaya Namaha, Om Govindaaya Namaha- NEED OF THE HOUR

SLOKAS RENDERED BY SMT. GAYATHRI GIRISH

24th April, 2021, a hot summer afternoon- The eerie silence on the otherwise busy roads of Bangalore gave me the chills. I thought of the sloka recommended by Maha Periyava, for defeating terminal diseases.

1) ACHYUTHAANANTHA GOVINDA NAAMOCCHAARANA BHESHAJAATH

NASHYANTHI SAKALAA ROGAAHA SATHYAM SATHYAM VADAAMYAHAM.

VAASUDEVAAKHILAANASYA ROGAAN NAASHAYA NAASHAYA.

4 ACHYUTHAANANTHA GOVINDA SACCHIDAANANDA SHAASHVATHA

MACCHETHO RAMATHAAM NITHYAM THVACCHAARU CHARANAAMBUJE.

The above 4 slokas from Aapadudhaaraka Stotram are specifically meant for prevention of serious diseases. Chanting this sloka as many times as possible will protect one from serious health issues.

 A simplified method-

OM ACHYUTHAAYA NAMAHA, OM ANANTHAAYA NAMAHA,OM GOVINDAAYA NAMAHA  are the magical mantras one must keep chanting to ward off diseases. The 3 magical names of Lord Vishnu have powerful vibrations to keep diseases of any magnitude at bay. 

The Nama-thraya-mantra is known for its powers of healing and curing any deadly disease.

Method- Chant aloud for 108 times, chant mentally through out the day.

The Magical Slokas- NEED OF THE HOUR

 Powerful slokas for healing chronic diseases - recommended by Maha Periyava. (Slokas rendered by Smt.Gayathri Girish).
