You played around the raga poorvikalyani soo beautifully... Also, took the best songs in Poovikalyani - Meenakshi memutham

[@swararagalaya3735]

its really amazing.....and also interesting....also useful ....hope you continue uploding many ragas like this.....

[@vivekdasoju5427]

I liked the start, somewhat like a shlokam but using the lyrics from the kriti itself to show the ragam instead of an alapana.
I’m impressed by the violinist and his bowing especially is so neat and smooth.
Over all beautiful!!

Nice presentation, with adequate knowledge. Raagam is one of those serious and tough ones.

[@jayasreeck3214]

Vinod👌

[@rosybuddy28]

Listen to NC Vasanthakokilam's rendition of Satileni to learn to use the Nishada in the ascending of purvikalyani the correct way.
Otherwise excellent rendition. I am curious. Was this rehearsed? Bravo if it was spontaneous though.

[@rochanp]

First 🖒🖒🖒🖒

[@janakisankara5936]

These days every renowned artist singing ragamalika very frequently. How about presenting a pure single raga?

[@jyothilakshmi1292]

Waiting...is it really purvi kalyani at the last...y did u guys change the ragam at last

[@vinodsmusic]

We introduced kalpana swarams in other ragams. :)

[@aravindhkumar2012]

Yes disappointed a bit 😭

[@geethanjalibalaji5232]

I am hearing some other raagam in the middle .. may i know what it is ??

[@AravindSagar]

Mohanam, Madhyamavathi, Valachi, Shuddha dhanyasi, siva ranjini, hamsadhwani

[@bhavanarayananarayana5942]

[@srinijakoyyada102]

[@vinodsmusic]

Srinija, we have demonstrated ragamalika swarams in the kalpana swarams

[@srinijakoyyada102]

@@vinodsmusic oh! Thank you sir

[@venkatabharghavp6838]

Your singing is excellent and you are well skilled artists but I'm having a note : Please sing the complete kruti. The first importance should be given for kruti then you can go for manodharmam. Absence of bhakti results it. Without bhakti where all these technicalities help? While presenting a devotional song please give importance to the complete kruti after completion you can pick a phrase from it and you can present the manodharmam. There is a sampradayam followed by our elders follow it, please try to rectify these things in future.

[@venkatabharghavp6838]

Vinod Krishnan garu I'm very happy for your response. I understood your intention, Now I really appreciate your broader way of presenting our music in this way. Your intention will surely touch the hearts of music lovers across the world. I feel your response is an eye-opener.

[@abhishekvash]

venkata bharghav p Dude just enjoy the damn music man, it's because of people like you and your stubbornness that Carnatic is starting to stagnate. Quit Yappin, start Clapping. If you don't like what they're to create then just don't watch. It's easy to badmouth from behind a screen.

[@rajeswarialur2881]

Again Vinod vinod vinod vinod vinod vinod vinod vinod vinod

[@vinodsmusic]

Thank you Rajeswari
