Superb presentation. One small suggestion. At the end of the presentation, I feel, a complete singing of the kriti would immerse the Rasikas deep into the meditative mood. Like a tapas.
Sure. We plan to release the songs separately. Thanks for your feedback. Glad you enjoyed it
I'm looking forward to the release featuring Chidambaram
Superb! Hats off to all those who contributed to this beautiful documentary
Thank you!
🙏This episode is so good that just by viewing we feel the presence of Sri Vaithisvaran & Sri BAlambikA as if we are transported to the sacred temple atmosphere.
Thank you Ravikiran, Madhusudhanan and a classy team. Vaiteeswaran Kovil visits real or virtual always an elevating experience. When this masterpiece composition of Sri Dikshithar in the Queen of Ragas is taken up for detailing, it becomes even more alluring. One question, is the Muthukumaraswamy sannidhanam here a part of the Somaskanda tradition? Thanks again and looking forward to more such divine treatises.
Superb series
What a wonderful team to bring in the greatness of Shri Muthuswamy Dikshitar - his lyrical constructs and the rAgAs he has composed his kritis also with rhythmic nuances. I am very, very grateful to both Ravi and Madhusudhanan! Will certainly contribute my mite to not just sustain our rich culture ( music, architecture, literature... the list does NOT end here!).
I will urge all the folks who access this site to support in EVERY way, one can! I will keep visiting this site for not just music but also for the wonderful elucidations on the lyrics by Madhu! God bless the duo!
Sir, we enjoyed your discourses at vani mahal on 25.12.2023...musical discourses on Vaathaapi Ganapathim was wonderful....we had goose bumps throughout..... please make a full video of that again through this channel
Namaskarams!!!!!Extremely informative series..... Amazing episode! Waiting to watch more of DKD!🙏🙏🙏
Thanks 🙏🏽
Majestic is the apt word to describe the entire episode. Majestic Temple, Majestic Raga, Majestic Lyrics, Majestic Composer and Majestic Presentation. The interpretation and the analogy given for the phrase "Muthukumara Janamim" is brilliant. Could feel the divinity while watching the episode and it made me feel that I am also there in that venue. Kudos to the entire team.
Thanks 🙏🏽
Words are less to express my deep devotion towards DKD 's episodes, just transports me to another world of divinity!❤🙏

Hello! What an amazing series! It is exceptionally made and presented! I just have one request! Could you release all the MDS song recordings used in this and previous DKD videos as separate tracks? Thank you so much!

2:43 10:06 14:11 21:46
Excellent rendition and explanation. If I may add one more aspect you can look at the first beejakshara of Bala Mantra is an amalgam of the first letters of the four Vedas. That seems to be the hint in anu Pallavi. Moreover Bala mantra dhyana Shloka starts with Aruna
Thank you for sharing 🙏🏽
I first listened to this song sung by Radha Jayalakshmi
Kindly add these episodes in playlist for our easy reference
Thank you
Such a beautiful episode Sir 🙏🙏
Thanks 🙏🏽
Excellent narration and brilliant rendition without distorting the complex sahitya 🙏
Thank you 🙏🏽

Another amazing presentation. The wealth of knowledge hidden in these songs that you are uncovering... I don't know if i should be awestruck by the genius of Sri Dikshitar or your team :-)
Thank you, Hemanth! It’s indeed a committed team that we are blessed to be a part of.

Wonderful to listen to both of you and truly impressed when you intelligently ignored the mantra part of Panchadasi...it is unfortunate that every dick and harry nowadays talks about this mahamantra
Wonderful
Dikshithar himself was named Muthuswamy after the Sri Muthukumaraswamy deity Muruga in this sthalam. He was born after prayers of his parents here
Yes it has been discussed in this episode too 🙏🏽
Simply amazing analysis and presentation. Thank you for taking the time to do this for the rest of us.
I have one question: During the charanam explaination, you mention that certain parts are reserved for the "initiated". Could you please explain a little bit more on this part?
Thank you for your comments - unfortunately, more details would be better understood through a Guru
love how tamil men can wear earings and necklaces and a skirt and no one things of that as gay....much less toxic masculinity in thiru tamil nadu...
