Many stalwart Karnatic vocalists of yester years from Tamil Nadu with absolutely no grounding not only in Sanskrit but also in Telugu and Kannada have mutilated and mangled the sahityams very badly. This has to be brought out openly harshly. You are very polite in not using harsher words.
It is better with today’s vocalists. But still a long way to go.

Thank you Varma ji. Very good explanation
We are really blessed to hear your songs & your beautiful explanation with lots of patience 🙏🏽🙏🏽😊
Varmaji..thanks to this wonderful detailed video
Like Ramayanam, having 7 kandas, this composition also has 7 stanzas in 7 different ragas...., each stanza briefing the story outlined in each of the 7 kandas......thus, the entire song gives an outline of the great epic

You will be remembered for generations

Thank you Varma ji , it's always a pleasure to listen to you. Such a beautiful composition of Swathi Thirunaal...thanks for taking the time to sing it appropriately 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thanks to learn Bhavayami Raghuram my most favourite song Thanks again which is contain Ramayanam seven kanda in seven ragas
🙏👏 Very happy to listen from you about Bhavayami Raghuramam. I seeing/listening to your you tube everyday. This song is special for me. I am 62 years old and I have access to internet, social media, you tube for music. My mother in her days had only radio to listen and that too in her 30s. Without any formal education in schools or Carnatic music, my mother used to sing this song very very nicely, ssme like original.
Thanks for this video updates 🙏
Thanks for the enlightening lecture Varmaji especially the meaning of Ramayanam as Ramasya ayanam
Listening again and again. Thank you very much 🙏🙏🙏.
Your entire video part I and 2 very informative, very useful, enjoying and enjoying this song more when rendered after listening to this 🙏🙏🙏
How beautifully explained
You r so humble .... What is the magic behind your humility?!
I have known Varma ji for nearly 20 years now and I always ask the same question. You have to spend time with him and witness the way he treats people in the service industry like taxi drivers, waiters at restaurants and so on and it would be a lesson that as just as valuable as the music lessons that he shares so generously.

Excellent explanation bringing out nuances to a magnificent composition. A Must must listen for students to develop the right approach - strive to understand meanings of the words and the context while learning to the sing the composition. Don't miss part 2 as well. What a blessing this from the Guru !!
Thank you Varmaji
thank you sir for your informative videos
Amazing. A song I ve listened to throughout my life, not thinking much about its meaningful lyrics, not very knowledgeable about nuances of music compositions, but always loved hearing it, mostly from temples far away evoking nostagia, now thanks to you, gathers new meaning and transcends from just a loved song to something Divine. My heartfelt thanks. I esp loved your ref to amar chitra katha stories and also the casual way of listening to this amazing song during our morning routines.
Even i had the opportunity of listening to this song by MSS. Early in the mornings Venkateswara Suprabhatam followed by this song was our routine for a couple of years. The devine voice of MSS would come afloat in the early morning winds to wake up & soak us in the Divinity...this country is blessed by such great souls🙏
Such expositions will lead the charge in the popularization of Carnatic music.
👏👏
Thanks many many sahasra koti time for this enchanting explanation....I recall the record played during my child hood and also a small snippet...My father was associated with A drama troupe which enacted Bhavayami ragu ramam(only the name..Story different)...I still have those drama photos
Thanks for this wonderful musical treat sir..very useful workshop for musicians & rasikas .
Thank you, Sri. Varma for narrating the story behind the rebirth of 'Bhaavayaami..." composition of Maharaja Swaati Thirunaal: an evergreen encapsulation of Srimad Ramayanam. Great examples of the importance of stress and pause at relevant phrases while rendering lyrics. You reminded me of your Guru: Sri. BMK! (Balamurali Krishna). Eagerly waiting for the next part.
So nice, I am got lot of superb knowledge from to u. lot of thanks🙏🙏🙏🙏
Excellent lesson. One of my most favorite taught by most adorable musician. Do you have the notations?
Shastang Pranams 🙏 Jai Shri Ram 🙏
Woah. I am really lucky. I wanted to see some lecdem of this song for like 2 weeks and you are here. Thank you so much. Also, i cant stop thinking of MDR's Bavayami
True. MDR's Bhavayami is brilliant!
Wav...thank you sir for the excellent explanation....
Very enlightening. Thank you very much Sir for the wonderful information.
Such a joy listening to him..!
Excellent narration, sir
One point: I always wonder when it comes to Kerala cities a lot of people still use the old name like Trivandrum instead of Thiruvananthapuram, Trichur instead of Thrissur, Calicut instead Kozhikode, etc. while we all changed using Chennai for Madras or Mumbai for Bombay, etc. etc. Thank you as I always enjoyed watching you and listening to you. By the way I want to note here how much I enjoy Amrutha Venkatesh's Bhavayami.
Yes Amruta ‘s rendition of Bhavayami is superb and Pranam to Amruta and her Guruji Varmaji
So, so, nice explanations about the song 🙏👏👏👏👍
Great work - can you please make a video explaining भावयामी गोपालबालं - thank you for your help
Wonderful explanation of the composition 👍🙏
Wonderful explanation thanks.a.lot.sir
very useful for rasikas like me, thanks a lot
Superb explanation!
Thank you Sir 🙏🙏🙏
So meticulous, sir you have reduced our job of searching in the internet what a splendid service Ramji. Sir please explain nagumomo and samajavaragamana when you find time.
Good talk by varmaji
One request there are rarely sung compositions like Jaya Jaya Raghu Rama in Sahana, Seve Srikantham varadam in Mohanakalyani . Please add these also in your talk

@@musiquebox Thank you. Great!
Beautiful.. Thank you so much for taking time to do this.
On an another note, Mohana raga has been used for veera rasa by many composers. It fits the context as well ( if rendered like that :) )
Ramasami dootan naanada in mohanam by Arunachala kavi and Narasimha Agacha by Dikshitar are good examples.
Same in Tamil. Ramayanam
Thank you for the video, Thamburan! Great insight.
The problem is that North Indians would say words like 'Rama' as 'Ram', and South Indians would tend to say it as 'Ramaaaa'.
The correct way to say it, I have heard, from various legends, is 'Rama', with a small 'a' at the end. Just a small thought I had, when Thamburan said the word 'Ramayanam'. :)
I do not how to thank you for such a good selection in karkidagam
Yes I do draw lot of parallels when I started listening,memorising this song from the age of 16,. and from the musical viewpoint this is equivalent to Naradha Maharishi Samkshipta. Ramayanam .
Thank you once again
Mahesh:
The Tamburaan is correct when he says “RamaayaNam.” That is how it is written in the Sanskrit original. Same with Mahaabhaaratam, Shakuntakam, Vikrama-Urvasheeyam, and Maalavikaa-agnimitram.

@@pittsburghpatrika1534 I know, I was saying that I got reminded of the pronounciations when Thamburan mentioned the same. I didn't say Thamburan was wrong.
😍🙏🙏❤
Sir! Plz pass your email I’d! I would love to learn from you sir!! Plz 🙏🙏🙏🙏
You could try reaching Varma ji at writetoramavarma@gmail.com
I don’t know whether I should laugh or cry on the way Tamil vocalists mutilate the sahityams. Because of your royal background, you are very polite. If you were a Chakkiyar artist, you would gave brutalized these Karnatic vocalists. Maybe next time, please get a good Chakkiyaar artiste to Madras Music Academy to convey the message more honestly dripping in sarcasm.
