Never heard such a voice in this world. His heavenly voice is unmatched. His tone is unchallenged so far.

Yes, Shri Maharajapuram Santhanam was a great Karanatic Singer with melodious voice, gifted by God. Thank u for ur time.

ಅದ್ಭುತ ಗಾಯನ! ಸಾರಾಮತಿ ನಮ್ಮನ್ನು ಬೇರೆಯದೇ ಲೋಕಕ್ಕೆ ತೇಲಿಸಿ ಕೊಂಡು ಹೋಗಿ ನಾವು ಕಳೆದು ಹೋಗುತ್ತೇವೆ. ಎಷ್ಟು ಕೇಳಿದರೂ ಸಾಲದು!!

No gimmicks! Pure music transporting listener to great heights!

i am thankful Lord SreeHari gave me ears and a heart to listen to this great musician.

Excellent singing. Saramathi comes out of late Shri Santanam's heart. The Mrudngist and Khanjeera players speak the notes. Excellent.

A great soul has been snatched whenever I listen to MS sir my heart gets filled with grief.However at the end feel his voice will never die.

Super!!

Maharajapuram Santhanam Sir is the Gold Standard! Such effortless singing! Thanks for posting this audio track for our enjoyment!

His melodious voice makes us forget everything around us and craves for more and more

Nice melodious

Heavenly and all the words can not describe the bliss. Like the saying from taittariya dwityia brhiguvalli---" yato vacha nivartante, aprapya manasa saha". One has to feel it and no words can explain the happiness. Kudos to MS garu

Oh Lovely One ! Mokshamu Galada raagam: saaramati 20 naTabhairavi janya Aa: S R2 G2 M1 P D1 N2 S Av: S N2 D1 M G2 S talam: aadi Composer: Tyaagaraaja Swamigal “On this earth, can there be Moksha for those who are not Jivanmuktas?”1 Thus begins Tyagaraja’s kriti (composition) Mokshamu Galada in Raga Saramati, a rare and soul-stirring raga that touches one’s heart and makes it ache with sorrowful yearning. This evocative and contemplative composition is in Telugu, one of the four Dravidian languages of South India (the others being Kannada, Tamil and Malayalam). Telugu has a mellifluous, resonant, flowing quality that Tyagaraja has lyrically captured in his magnificent kritis. William J. Jackson notes that poet-saints like Tyagaraja who composed in regional languages (instead of Sanskrit) offer a devotional “democratization” of sorts so that spirituality becomes accessible to one and all and thus broadens the “possibilities for participation”.1 The etymology of the word kriti is fascinating. The Sanskrit “Kriti” and the English “creation” are cognate with the Indo-Aryan root, meaning “to create”. Kriti also means “to wonder”1. And in this kriti, Tyagaraja wonders- “On this earth, can there be Moksha for those who are not Jivanmuktas? So who is a Jivanmukta exactly? A Jivanmukta is one who becomes a Jnani (enlightened being) who, by transcending worldly attachments while still living on earth, attains Moksha.2 The qualities possessed by aJivanmukta are further explained in the Bhagavad Gita(Song of the Lord). In chapter 5, verses 19 and 20, Lord Krishna tells his friend and devotee Arjuna that a liberated person “neither rejoices upon achieving something pleasant nor laments upon obtaining something unpleasant, is self- intelligent, un-bewildered. In other words, a person who practices equanimity has already “conquered the conditions of birth and death”.3 The concept of Moksha or liberation is integral to Hindu philosophical thought. Moksha is intimately tied into the notion of Samsara, the never-ending cycle of birth and death the soul undergoes, through many life forms, ultimately culminating in human birth. Human life is guided by the attainment of 4 major goals, as defined by the 4 Purusharthas4 (objectives of a human being). First and foremost, the goal of a human being is to followDharma, defined as right conduct/ righteousness. The next goal is for one to acquire Artha, translated as wealth or material prosperity. Pursuing the fulfillment of both sensual and emotional desires is Kama. The pursuing of both Artha and Kama are dictated byDharmic tenets. It is interesting to note that the ancient Hindu texts did not advocate a monastic existence, encouraging instead an active engagement with all facets of life. The final goal of human life then (after fulfilling one’s worldly obligations) is to attain Moksha. Saakshatkara Nee “O Lord who appears before me (Saakshatkara Nee), to those with no genuine devotion (Bhakthi) or knowledge of music (Sangeetha Jnana), can there be salvation?” Here, the translation barely captures the nuances that Tyagaraja conveys in the original Telugu. The phrase “Sangeetha Jnana” does not merely refer to technical knowledge of music which in itself, is not sufficient to help one advance on the spiritual path. Tyagaraja’s words do not imply that a lack of musical knowledge would preclude the musically uninitiated from attaining liberation. Even if one does not have the ability to sing, one surely can cultivate the ability to listen. Of equal or possibly greater importance is the capacity to be moved by music, to be transformed by it, to allow oneself to be lifted to states of transcendence, to open oneself up to mind-blowing ecstasy. Tyagaraja was a practitioner of Nadayoga - a rigorous spiritual undertaking (Sadhana) in which the knowledge and practice of music was said to offer a direct pathway to salvation. It makes sense that Tyagaraja, being both a musician and a mystic, urged the seeker to combine his or her love of music with their love of God so that they may move beyond the trappings of mundane existence and attain salvation. Of Breath and Fire In composing this kriti, Tyagaraja draws on the 13thcentury musical treatise of the eminent musicologistSarngadeva.1 In the famed Sangita Ratnakara (Ocean of Music), the worship of Nada Brahman (divine sound) is seen as the way to liberation. To quote from the text, “we worship the Nada Brahman (divine sound), the life of all beings, transformed in the shape of the world, the sentience, the bliss.”The notion that divinity manifests as sound vibrations in space comes from the Sama Vedawhich is a foundational source for the study of music in Hindu lore and is also articulated in various other texts. For example, in Chapter 7, Verse 8 of the Bhagavad Gita3, Lord Krishna tells Arjuna “I am the syllable Om in the Vedic mantras, the sound in ether”. The notion that the cosmos was created from divine sound is an ancient one, finding resonance in various mystical and religious traditions around the world. The vibration of the sound Om (Pranava nada) manifests in the form of the seven notes of music (Saptaswaras) through the combination of Prana (Life force, or vital breath) and Anala (Fire). In other words, the seven notes sa, ri, ga, ma, pa, da, ni are derived from the vibrational energy of the sound Om. This concept is elaborated in a shloka from the Swararnava-“In the center of the body is the Prana, in the centre of the Pranais dhwani (sound), in the centre of the dhwani is the nada (musical sound) and in the centre of the nada isSadasiva, the supreme Lord”. And Tyagaraja ends his kriti by making one final appeal- “O Lord adored by Tyagaraja, for those who don’t know the consciousness of Siva who is fond of playing the Veena, on this earth, can there be liberation for those who have not found realization?” Pallavi: mōkśamu kaladā bhuvilō jīvanmuktulu gāni vāralaku (mōkśamu kaladā) Seek not to rise heavenward; When bereft of love for the Maker, And unwise of musical strains. Anupallavi: sākśātkāra nī sadbhakti saṅgītajñāna vihīnulaku (mōkśamu kaladā) Salvation for the Freed, remains. Charanam: prāṇānala samyōgamu valla praṇava nādamu saptasvaramulai paraga vīṇāvādana lōludau śiva manōvidhamerugaru tyāgarāja vinuta (mōkśamu kaladā) The first sound with fire finds, The notes of the seven kinds; O Lord, of this they know not, Nor of the bliss Siva enjoys, In the strings of His fancy; And from You are ever barred. Tyagaraja (1767-1847) One of the greatest composers of this age, Tyagaraja was born into a Telugu Brahmin family in Tiruvarur, Tamilnadu. His initial training in music was under Sonti Venkataramanayya. Tyagaraja presented us with a very valuable treasure of krutis in Telugu and Sanksrit, which can be considered the backbone of Karnatic music. He, along with two other musicologists, Syamasastry and Deekshitar, are popularly known as the Trinity of Karnatic music. Tyagaraja's songs are the outpourings of devotion to his beloved deity Sri Rama. Tyagaraja's musical contributions keep the classicism of Karnatic music eternal. For music lovers, it is indeed inspiring to experience the rendering of his Pancharatna Keertanas at Tyagaraja Aradhana all over the world. He and his krutis are eternal. Saramati is a janya rāgam (derived scale) from the 20thmelakarta scale Natabhairavi.It is a janya scale, as it does not have all the seven swaras (musical notes) in the descending scale. Saramati is an asymmetric rāgam that does not contain panchamam or rishabham in the descending scale. It is a combination of thesampurna raga scale Natabhairavi and pentatonic scale Hindolam. It is an sampurna-audava rāgam (or owdava rāgam, meaning pentatonic descending scale).[ Its ārohaṇa-avarohaṇa structure (ascending and descending scale) is as follows: • ārohaṇa : S R2 G2 M1 P D1 N2 S • avarohaṇa : S N2 D1 M1 G2 S The notes used in this scale are shadjam, chathusruthi rishabham, sadharana gandharam, panchamam, shuddha dhaivatham and kaisiki nishadham in ascending scale, with panchamam and rishabham dropped in descending scale. For the details of the notations and terms, see swaras in Carnatic musi A popular kriti composed in it is Mokshamugalada by Tyagaraja This raga is generally avoided by film music composers. Even the great Ilaya Raja had only came very near to this raga in Paadariyen Padippariyen song in Sindhu Bhairavi ( Many claim that it is not pure Saramathi )

Santhanam's singing is characterized by a rare balance of (1) raga bhava, (2)emotion and semantics of the keerthana (3) musical elaboration and (4) the the singer himself. In most performances either the singer is dominating or the music is given so much importance that the main meaning and structure of the keerthana is lost. Santhanam is a rare genius. He comes close to the original rendition by the composer..... Murthy Kota

Heard MS sing this song on a walkman for the first time in the year 1990 at Mysore. Got sold out to Saramathi since then. I couldnt pursue music so never could sing. Only recently after 33 years I have started singing along with him because of this song. Balamuralikrishna ji (Swathi Thirunal) and Abhishek Raghuraman have driven me more crazy too with subtle variations. I am just mad in pure ecstacy.
