Very few people in our country might have watched the ' nAda nIrAjanaM ' on SVBC TV Channel today (April 2, 2011, 6.30 p.m.). Our entire Nation is terribly busy praying the 330 million Gods to bless the Indian Cricket Team win the World Cup.
I am one of the delighted few who have watched the SVBC.
Anuradha Venkata Raman's Bharata Natyam performance lifted my mind from a state of depression.
Srivatsa sang the nATa kuraMji, yamuna kalyANi, siMdhu bhairavi, valaji, kuraMji so well, that I am tempted to rank him on par with the legendary Bala Murali Krishna.
Vivek Krishna was great on the flute both on the regular and the bass versions. Heavenly output from these reeds of bamboos.
Ganesh was great on the mridaMgaM. His rhythms matched the steps of Ms. Anuradha Venkata Raman's footwork (or vice versa), so completely that the harmony mesmerised me.
Mr. Pulakesi's naTTuvAMgaM has contributed greatly to the team's performance.
This team deserves greater recognition than what it is getting at present.
Practice of music and dance in Indian styles of both the North Indian and the South Indian, can keep the performers' bodies well-oiled. They get , I believe, larger benefits than FROM the aerobic exercises of the West. This is because, the literary compositions have emotional content. This divine emotional bliss, I found on the facial expressions and in the subtle body movements of Ms. Venkata Raman.
