A note of special thanks to P R Murali Sir ( was the flutist of Yesudas for more than 40 years)
I train my little music under his guidance. While doing this song പാഹിമാം ദേവ ദേവ I thought of adding some "Swarangal" ( Carnatic notes) to add some speciality to the song for a symphony way. While the music class was going on I humbly requested Murali sir ( he is there in this symphony playing second flute) to write some "swarangal" with a "muthayippu" (മുത്തായിപ്പ്) session for this song since the song is in Ragam Shankarabharanam {രാഗം : ശങ്കരാഭരണം ). He very cordially accepted my requests and within no time he wrote some carnatic swarangal along with a മുത്തായിപ്പ് session in the same raga and taught me. Its sung after the song
Thank you dear Murali Sir.
