T M Krishna is a rogue. A anti Hindu pro islamist. If Carnatic music is a brahmin domain why is it that nadaswaram and tavil don't have brahmin players ?? Never seen moorsing played by a brahmin !! Who was sheikh Chinna Maulana?? Every community has its own passions that is patronised by majority of the people from that community. TM Krishna is a blot on the Carnatic music community.
I mean what about dhrupad Ang which is quite old, much older than 500 years and still practiced today
மிரு +தங்கம் =தங்கம்தான்
what is the place, at 25th minute
It is Mattanur in Kannur District of Kerala. Person is Mattanur Sankarankutty Marar, a great Chenda player, which is a traditional percussion instrument
@@chidambaramradhakanthan9327 Thank u Sir
Poorly edited documentary! Very disappointing!
- It lacks focus. What are all the other people unconnected with the (stated) main theme of Sri Sivaraman, the legendary Mridangam Vidwan, doing here?
- It is haphazard. Very choppy! A scene here, a moment there, and then the Guru talking! Seriously?
- It lacks purpose. What does it bring out that we didn’t know already about Sri Sivaraman? What is the message? What does this video seek to achieve?
Looks like the producers didn’t give it much thought! What a disappointment!! 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
What a ridiculous documentary.. ethically wrong documentary in every sense. Poor anecdotes from TMK. What is happening ? Is this a documentary of the legend or a lesson on the history of whatever crap that's being spoken about here.. absolutely disgusting and disrespectful. Pathetic pathetic pathetic.
A hatchet job of a documentary this is. Neither it's showcasing the legend Sivaraman Sir's life and achievements nor is it having anything worthwhile for the classical music connoisseurs , spoiled at the beginning itself with the appearance of TMK. Total FAIL.
Well said!
What a wonderful documentary. The man is an incarnation of Bhagavan Nandi Himself. A colossus standing tall in his service to Carnatic Music spanning generations. The piece with Mattannur Sankarankutty Sir was the icing on the cake. To be able to hear both the percussions in sync seems like a scene straight out of Mount Kailash.
P.S. Whoever thought of inviting T M Krishna for this documentary screwed up big time. He had nothing to contribute except for his usual Hindu-hating-left-wing-Brahmin-bashing monologues masquerading as eloquent English that can often be seen in his worthless tweets.
T M Krishna's comments were not required for this otherwise good documentary
Yes
Yes... really...
He has to say something stupid all the time. He is just doing his stuff.
Well said.
Well said!
What nonsense is t m krishna talking..totally disconnected to this documentary. Why did the maker of this documentary get t m krishna into this. Total distraction to the otherwise good topic
Didn't appear that is it is a documentary about the person. You gave uselessly put toxic overtone by tm krishna.
If you are looking to ruin your documentary, please contact TM Krishna.🙏🏽🙏🏽
grateful for this ... but also confusing to see TMK coming in occasionally to talk about things not even connected to the legend and was totally distracting. Was this an editing mistake?
Same question.
Everything TMK speaks in this video is unrelated to UKS.
UKS deserves a better documentary for the legend he is.
Here’s something that you may want to see which is from a different perspective.. m.th-cam.com/video/D1LZbYu_TPU/w-d-xo.html
TMK is trying to become a political person .
In ART there are great people from all walks of life .
Many ,for the sake of money , go to the film word deserting classical carnatic music .
This fact TMK should address and also allow every one to choose his/ her field of interest .
You cannot force any one to your thinking .
There many legends who are not brahmins . Talk to them . They will tell you the TRUTH .
Yes
Super documentary on Umayalpuram Sivaraman . Some of the comments made by a Krishna on a particular community patronising classical music , according to me is unfortunate choice of language. No body is stopping anyone from learning or listening to classical music. I am not from the said community but I still enjoy and love carnatic music. Many people don't relate or understand classical music. We must have better methods to educate young people to understand/enjoy classical music. There are many people who don't want to listen let alone learn carnatic music as it might not agree with their religious sentiments. I hope an/any attempt to educate people in the wonderful splendor of carnatic music will come by. wonderful job Rajiv Menon.Pls make more wonderful videos.
One more thought how many western people listen to western classical music? In the west there is no so-called cast/religion.
We must not apply a western template on everything.
Agree with you ..Mr.Krishna has his view point..his experience..music is open to all..if any person stopping them or not supporting then it's should not be done..but if PPL are not taking interest it can't be forced upon..🙏😊
@@udlovemusic its astounding how so called learned musician manages to bring in cast, creed & religion into everything. Seems that this learned musician are the ones most interested in perpetuating divisiveness. This is a documentary on music and it should be only so.
Mr. Krishna only cares about his venomous agenda...and less about music.
Social justice leanings in the documentary indicate clear and acute effort to distort and destroy the spiritual evolution aspect of carnatic music and club it in the league of pleasure seeking musical traditions! Just like sanatani's are told all religions are same!
Documentary on Umayalpuram Sivaraman ji and TM Krishna speaking are totally contrasting. Its like having nice food(UKS) and something else(TMK) s*** in the same plate or plantain leaf. May be the document producer does not want it to be a divine documentary, so he has added TMK part it seems.
All is divine, even what doesn't fit into your fairytale.
Beautiful! Credit to Rajiv menon for his thought, time, energy and money to create this documentary in current day and age where people preferences seem to move away from Carnatic music. Now that you have created it, we look forward to many more from you in this form rather than just popular cinemas
Ioopoòo90ooo67iìjj98uuu89iioiuiii
So much to absorb!!!! Watching just once is not enough. What a disciplinarian! What a legend!
so true!🙂🙏
The first five minutes of the docu seems to have no relevance to the maestro or his music. The way the maestro is introduced as the subject by the speaker also lacks proper coherence. The scripting could have been done much better. Of course, the words of the maestro and snatches of his play more than compensate for all this.
TMK's comments are a distraction. This was about the genius of Umayalapuram Sivaraman, but the idiot brought in caste into the dialog. His moronic obsession to bash Brahmins perhaps is because he is paid by some vested interest.... sheesh get a life TMK
*80 ?* He has all the energy and mischievous eyes of a teenager! Chitti Babu once described the vīnā as "as ancient as the vedas and as modern as tomorrow." Dr Sivaraman's mrdangam playing is also a great example of that idea. Seeing him on stage is a delight beyond belief!
Everything in this video except about Padma Vibhushan Vid. Shivaraman sir is utter rubbish and irrelevant.
You are just using his name and reach to propagate TMK's Idiologies with evil intentions.
Such a dirty move.
Absolutely correct.
I had the great fortune of listening to the maestro 5 years back sitting a mere 7 feet away during a Bhagavatha Saptaham. Was totally blown away by the maestro's playing. Still gives me goosebumps
As a few have stated in comments, a good documentary without focus! Good for nice photography and self analysis of the maestro! But poor editing, lack of continuity, loose expression and unrelated comments let this down! Is it made to talk of the maestro or something else isn't known because of that! An analysis of genesis of Carnatic music and why it's not common place is totally a different story. There's no need to club it here on a film about a mridangam vidwan! I think TMK was brought as "drishti parikaaram"!
All credit to the Director bringing in TMKs propaganda which has lost its weight. The more rasikaas ignore the more better.. I hope he has more tranquility than turmoil.
Tranquility is a Mirage for him with his current propaganda.
Guru anugraha praptirastu..!!
Drishti parikaram :) Like the chilli hanging at my door ...
TMK’s commentary sticks out like a sore thumb in this documentary. He should’ve been taken out.
Actually for someone like me who knows very little about Carnatic music, it's a good introduction and mix of ideas. I also think the comments about the caste and gender milieu were interesting reflections that in no way marred the beauty of the art. We understood more about the man by understanding more about the context of his music.
@@branandubh this being a documentary about the Mridangam legend, I feel that there is no room for TMK type advocacy. Director should’ve kept it to Sri Umayalpuram Sivaraman, and what *he* is all about and *his* music is all about. If it’s a documentary about the recent conversations swirling around Carnatic music, then there would’ve been room for all the dissenting opinions.
That it is his father who spotted the talent in him and nurtured him is clearly spelt out. Half of the credit goes to the noble soul who brought up and shaped such a legend is praise worthy. Pranams to USR and his Doctor father.
That's the embodiment of devotion. What a happy soul
While TM Krishnan is a self absorbed self lover
No one is greater than the man who made the percussion instrument. His acumen is so great that it is tuned right in to it. But these people were never brought to light. They are good players too behind the screen.
His mridangum speaks volumes about
sri UKS sir that he is certainly a magical legend today in the Carnatic music world.
His majestic stature, sitting posture,
concentratipn on the main artiste and
stage discipline are all worthy of emulatipn today when you see artists
go for bottle of water every now and then
on the stage. He is willing to open up
for all forms percussion in mridangum.
He is not only a mere percussionist, but
a total reformist and a role model for
today's percussionists. God bless you
UKS sir,
We Indians are so rich in culture and music. Proud to be an Indian.
what did you do?
Most of the content is close to Sarvam Talamayam. No doubt it is from the same school. We loved watching this as much as we did watching the movie.
Thanks for such a beautiful content.
Not to sound negative and criticize, but why on earth do we have discussions on caste and Male chauvinism on a documentary focusing on the life and times of a Peerless Mahavidwan?? Of all the Ocean-like content that you could have spoken on, you wanted to include these? Really?
You are not negative at all! Am yet to watch the whole thing - but when the opening remarks are from Mr T M Krishna who loves to remind us that our music is not 2000 years old but ONLY 500 years old, I can imagine where this is going.
Why was TMK even needed in this documentary?
The objective and storytelling is from a different perspective..this is something you may want to watch: m.th-cam.com/video/D1LZbYu_TPU/w-d-xo.html
Anna, Ofcourse we have seen that, but just wondering the relevance of some of the speakers and some of the devilishly inept content they spoke, with respect to this particular documentary!!! But yeah at the end of the day, if this what is intended to be conveyed, fine!
@@sivaramanswaminathan4406 Anna, this documentary, which is a celebration of one of the greatest percussionists of the last 100 years, need not have started off with inane/mindless riff raff from a charlatan. For the legion of Shri UKS's fans, this can be off putting as it was to me and for a few others as seen in this section. Just MHO
Genuinely confused by the many negative comments here on TMK's views in this documentary. He says a) carnatic music is predominantly practiced and patronized by brahmin community, b) some people may therefore feel they don't belong here, and c) so it is good for the art form as well as for the people to wecome "outsiders" to it. What is so controversial here? 🤔
Well said. Why are these people so insecure? I say, more the merrier! They can take the views of a European at face value but, can't take a 'think out of the box' view by another local legend.
@@superfabfoods Nothing to do with the topic on hand. He was supposed to be talking about Vidhwan Umayalpuram Sivaraman. That's the documentary about. Instead, he goes off the tangent about caste. If he is that worried, why are all his students brahmins? Because he chooses not to teach them. His co-artists are mostly brahmins. Because, he chooses not to encourage them.
Ask him to train non brahmins and use non brahmin co artists. Even the person that does tampura for TMK is a brahmin. He doesn't teach non brahmins. everyone else has to do social justice, but not him? BTW the documentary is about UKS not about caste.
Are TMK’s any way relevant to this documentary? He always looks for some sort of controversy. That’s his act
@@kollurisatyasai3702 I don't know myself it they are true (the remarks around 17:15). But if they are not then why verbally assault the person, rather than argue that the statements he is making are false. The comments below assault the person which is surprising to me and not ok.
relevance? it's a short interlude, he is a professional, probably to give viewers context about the carnatic music scene. I am just guessing here. I didn't edit this documentary. However, it is disconcerting to see so many people getting angry and assaulting TMK over this. I wonder why.
Living Legend ! எங்கள் பாக்கியம்
அருமையான explanation.
From California
In my younger days, I had the opportunity to learn mridangam - though partially - from my guru - Karaikudi Natesa Iyer in Trichy - I learnt Adi thalam and Rupaka thalam - I was immature to let go the opportunity - I regret not having learnt fully - Hats off to todays generation to learn fine arts
UKS is an absolute legend and v r fortunate to live in an era as his. Poorly chosen speakers like TMK and his irrelevant views on caste do complete injustice to this music legend and the documentary itself!
Absolutely agree. Very poor biased views from tmk
Sir, Mr.Rajiv Menon himself has set the Title wrong as 'Overtone' it should have been either 'Perfect Tone' or 'Over the Tone'. Over tone communicates abnormality.
Completely agree
Why is Anti Hindu TM Krishna in this? He always has a jaundiced vison of Indian culture.
இறைவா போற்றி.இந்த காணொளி தொகுப்பினை அளித்த நீங்கள் மென்மேலும் பல நலனும் வளமும் பெற்று இதுபோன்ற அரிய காணொளிகள் படைக்க இறைவன் துணையிருக்க வேண்டுகின்றேன்🕉️.
Learning how we can sell the propaganda by celebrating Maha vidwans as a sugar coat. Opening remarks by The Master itself is an OverTone.. On the similar lines MOPA is starting sugar coated sessions by the MASTERS Students Sri Vignesh Iyer and Rithvik Raja and I am sure they will make us believe what ever they say in future.
Pranams to the maha vidwan, but not a documentary that needs to be preserved.
An excellent and most insightful but fleeting peek into the life and talent of a legendary percussionist. Thank you Rajiv Menon and team
This Krishna is doing what in documentary.getting spoiled because of his agenda on extreme views
Respected Umayalpuram sivaraman is the greatest mirudangam artist of this century
Pranams to the legendary percussionist Dr. Umayalpuram Sivaraman. Had the good fortune to interact with him decades ago, when he visited my home in Secbad. Gentle giant . He accompanied young & old alike. A great quality. Thanks Rajiv Menon & team for bringing out this documentary .
This documentary revolves around the well-disciplined life of the great vidwan. Today, more than anything else, he answers all others who wish to contend with him by his peerless playing of the Vaadhyam even after 75 + years. This documentary also answers many sensitive questions about him, his character, and his confidence levels. Pranaams to the great maestro🙏🙏🙏. Kudos to Rajiv Menon and team.
well said!👍🙏
TM Krishna the rascal is there?
👍
Rather than whining always, it would be advisable that the person should be the change he wants to see. Would be interesting to know what he has done to address the shortcomings as perceived by him. Does he have shishyas of diverse background?

'thu' on t m krishna and his views. The moment I see this devil is exactly when I stop watching that video
TMK was irrelevant to this documentary. He is neither a conformist nor reformist nor percussionist. He is certainly a good vocalist but all that stops thereof! He sings on Karnatic music platforms only 'coz of his musicality but he can be loyal to Cypto Christianity platforms.
I was never able to connect with Mr.TM Krishnan's rendering. Never understood why, and then he came out a couple of years ago and said I don't care about the Bhagawan in the lyrics I just am a great renderer technicality (paraphrased) - there I went! Yes, makes sense, I do not resonate with your music. Thanks for the explanation - No wonder he deserves all the great laurels he received, hard work for years, and innovation pouring....but for people like me when the third wheel of the auto, devotion goes missing....its a dysfunctional auto!

I don't know music
This grand father playing Mrudanga makes me to Feel Lord Shiva's presence despite I am a staunch Vaishnavan
Very good documentary on the great Vidwan. Inclusion of Tm Krishna was an absolute editing blunder. Totally unnecessary.
Just engrossed learning about the legend. Discipline and passion matters..
No other percussion musician vouched him... I always feel the arrogance in his face
Exactly!! I thought I was the only one
Maybe you should attain the same level of mastery and set an example to others as a role model in behaviour and vinayam!!😂 How easy to talk!!!
@@arvraghu who is having vinayam
@@arvraghu
vinayam? ...hmmmm ....oxymoron
I stooped watching once i saw tm krishna
Maha maha nandi umalyalpuram siva sir 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
TM Krishna views not needed....could hve been removed
That part where he jams with the African drummer...Wow!
The frames were insanely good! So Rajiv Menon. But felt that there could have been a little more texture to the story, for example, what was his relationship with his instrument, and how he went about expanding his repertoire, could have made it come alive better.. Why was TMK even there? He was adding no value to this particular narrative
The obstacle should be in the art education is schools and colleges. China rhe have a good systems to preserve their art culture. We don't have such systems for education in India. India mother all art and 1000 and 1000 are in it . Many art disappeared within 50 years time 😮😢😢
I enjoyed his vasippu while playing to senior artists for Ariakudi , Semmengudi, Madurai Mani iyr, G.N.B and so on. Who said Sabah on his play. I consider these as. blessings from them to him.God bless him. Nice person also.Ganesan Tirukodikaval
A, Legend Is UKS Sir.. Blessed to listen to this 🙏 .. UKS Sir is a, Gift to Us
T.M Krishnan spoke the truth about the south Indian classical music
Stop bringing community when u speak about a great artist
TM Krishna you are the problem. This music is more than 10,000 years old.
Loved to watch this documentary, so well made and very interesting. Congrats and best wishes.
Why do you start with TMPs' appearence? He is a antti hindu left wing political person than a musician
T M Krishna in this documentary is like the housefly that fell in the Payasam. It destroys the joy of eating. So remove it before anyone sees it to save us from trauma and enjoy the Payasam.
😂😂😂
What's the relevance of TM Krishna in this?!! 🤔🤐
As relevant as thermal wear is, during Summers!!!!
Peter?. For Tamilians it is called Peter. Many are attracted to Peter, Do not understand it but, Who speak in Peter are revered.

Indian music is divine thank you for uploading this documentary 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Could someone kindly list the compositions / artists / Ragas sung in various intermittent sections of the video. I am new to Carnatic Music and hence trying to find my feet - would be highly obliged if anyone could clarify.
Started watching it... turned it off the moment I saw the ignormausest of all ignoramuses pontificating on the origins of our great Carnatic Sangeetha tradition... a pity that a documentary on a great vidwan is premised on such hogwash.
Is this a documentary of Umayalapuram ji or activism of TM Krishna ji
Great divine presence in this great soul Umayalpuram vidwan gives the divine music
Contributions of artistes like Umayalpuram Sivaraman are part of our cultural treasure. This treasure should be available to all of us and the future generations.
டாக்குமெண்ட் டி நபருக்கு தமிழ் தெரியாதோ?!
Hi., all., what is the name of the instrument in 3.50., looks like veena but not veena., someone name the instrument.,
Ok with opening remarks from sudden left liberal tunred TMK put me off and stopped watching the documentary. I am sure where this narrative would lead to. Bye bye
Worst documentary ever - on that note has more connection to Carnatic than this documentary has to umayalapuram
Wonderful … brings back memories of his concerts from the early 1960s!
An excellent exposition of Swararaga sudharayuta.
The beauty of Telugu. Its as if the language is evolved around music/ melody 🙏
What an absolute genius percussionist. As someone who plays the Tabla and generally listens to Hindustani Classical, such guni people are my windows into the amazing and beautiful world of Carnatic Sangeet. He is positively drawing people like me to Carnatic Sangeet by striving for perfection with his music rather than propaganda and negative Bol Bachan by some. That is how it should be. More power to Dr Sivaraman.
I think it is not so nice that he has not played for female vocalists - then who should play?
