The Intoxication of Nirajakshi Kamakshi
Can we sing a raga by leaving aside our conditioning and a preset notion of how it sounds associated with it? It difficult but not impossible. The bigger question is - do we want to? For all those who answer this question with a ‘yes’, thank you. It’s difficult because leaving aside every set pattern that you have been “taught” you are expected to step out of your comfort zone. Nīrajakshi Kāmākshi - a deep and potent composition by Sri Muthuswamy Dikshitar is a malkauns that will bring you out into a zone that could be new and unchartered for many of us who have been seeing classical music from the Hindustani point of view. But I insist, it’s a journey worth taking on. As for me, I have been exploring this composition since a few years now and it never ceases to amaze. The rendition is a part of my album “Iti-Dhrupad Meditations on Dikshitar” which is now streaming on all major platforms including Spotify, Apple Music, Deezer, Qobuz. The 3 music videos as well as a short documentary on the making of Iti are on KZread for your viewing pleasure. Listen, watch and immerse. #dikshitarkriti #muthuswamidikshitar #dhrupad #devi #kamakshiammantemple #kamakshidevi #bhakti #sanskrit #malkauns #raga #hindolam #immerseyourself #musicforthesoul #india #indianmusic #pakhawaj
