Music devoted to the LORD!! Abhishek sings with that deep feeling that Saint Purandara dasa sings of the LORD. So long as YOU ARE THERE, WHY AM I POOR? WHY AM I AN OUTSIDER? questions the pitamaha. Following up saying everything is YOU, YOU ARE THE GURU, YOU ARE MY WEALTH, when I am your feet, I have no fear of none.
. I am a music critic since 1975. I was at Idhayam Pesukirathu . I found nobody else other than our Abishek Raghuram in this music field. He is having a bright future. I loves abishek because my son aged 26 B.S Manjunath practising advocate at MADURAI HIGH COURT resembles as like as Abishek as Twins A rare concurrence!
Beautiful. No words to describe how I felt hearing this Really your mother must have been Fortunate to have abhisheks concert at ur home at tht time. Nice to see all the artists vid charumathi raghuraman violin, vid v Balaji mridangam nd vid Gopalakrishnan young. It is always very divine to listen to vid Abhishek raghuram nd to listen to this 12 years bk old his song from the chamber concert with his commanding majestic beautiful voice is honey yo ears. 🙏.sri Abhishek is a gift by God, to carnatic music world for all of us.
Dear sir How fortunate you are to have Abhishek to sing [n your house.The life is just like a 'Minnal 'In that I got this wonderful opportunity.Thank you.[ Please up load all his music]
Superb ! Naneke badavanu TaLam: khandchapu/Misra Composer: Purandara Daasar This Song is Sung in Ragam: behag /Mukhari/Ananda Bhairavi Purandara dasa is a great poet and devotee of vittala. His poems are in Kannada. The dasa litreture in Kannada is very important not only for the language used but for the reason it started. The dasa’s though mainly follower’s of Shri Madhwaachaarya, wrote poems on subjects including devotion, various avatara’s of Vishnu, philosophy as well as society and it’s conduct. The purpose of these songs were to teach the illiterate people about devotion and philosophy. They are also set to music and so people learnt it as songs. Purandara dasa is called the father of Carnatic music. He formulaised the initial lessons of Carnatic music and brought structure to the way it is taught. Most kannadigas would have heard ‘dasara pada’s’ ( pada meaning poem) at temples, movies and social gatherings. Like all kannadiga’s I too have learnt many dasara pada’s and appreciated their meaning. I have tried here to translate one of them to English. I liked the simplicity and the affection and devotion to ‘vittala’. Each dasa has his own favourite diety. Kanakadasa’s is kagnele’s( a place in Karnataka) aadikeshava, vaadiraajaru’s is hayavadana ( the horse head avatara of Vishnu) and Purandara dasa’s is Purandara ( a place in Karnataka ) vittala.

Subramanian R Very good effort with the lyrics.. a great trait of Purandara dasa's work is that there's hidden Vedantic meaning hidden in each of his compositions. Thanks to modern Vedantists like Thakur, Maa and Swamiji and other present day Greats of the RK order, we are able to appreciate these songs written 400 years ago, in the light of their teachings Pettigeyolagina ashtabharanagalu neene - Oh Lord!, The eight bonds that bind a human being, it's all nothing but Thee
The violonist is simply too good. He seems to be fond of this song and sings it often. I wish he would listen to MSS's rendition of the song and learn from it before attempting to sing it again.
Omg! What a beautiful behag, have never heard anything of this sort! Is the violinist Charumathi Raghuraman, Shri. TNK's student? Such sweetness! spectacular playing. Please upload more. what a wondrous musical team!
I would appriciate if he controls his sangathis for dasa keerthane, because they are ment to touch the heart of people by words,not with so much of presentation...
Chethan Gowda not just daasa krithis r meant to be sung like MS did. All krithis were meant to serve the bhavaa byt some where other krithis fell out of such practice. Yes as u said though one can appreciate the medling too much with the raga, a bhakta ,bhavuka wouldn't appreciate abhishek for it anyways. Definitely no match to MS with bhaava.
This is one of the best renditions of Behag! Out of the world 🙌
All of us should glorify such talent by arranging for private concerts for him. What a talent

Absolute Brilliance ! Abhishek, the Violinist and the Mrudangist !!!
This reminds me of the private concerts we used to have in the 60s with stalwarts like TRS and friends - He was used to sing this song !

Wonderful. Blessed with Divinity
Sheer brilliance !!!

beautiful...:-)
Super !!!
Great rendition and good pronunciation!
Fantastic sabbbàaash
The violonist is simply too good. He seems to be fond of this song and sings it often. I wish he would listen to MSS's rendition of the song and learn from it before attempting to sing it again.
Omg! What a beautiful behag, have never heard anything of this sort!
Is the violinist Charumathi Raghuraman, Shri. TNK's student? Such sweetness! spectacular playing. Please upload more. what a wondrous musical team!

Amazing.
EXCELLENT
I would appriciate if he controls his sangathis for dasa keerthane, because they are ment to touch the heart of people by words,not with so much of presentation...
Chethan Gowda not just daasa krithis r meant to be sung like MS did. All krithis were meant to serve the bhavaa byt some where other krithis fell out of such practice. Yes as u said though one can appreciate the medling too much with the raga, a bhakta ,bhavuka wouldn't appreciate abhishek for it anyways. Definitely no match to MS with bhaava.
