This Bhaktavatsalar is actually in Thiruninravur. "Kannamangai ul kandukondene"
Very informative presentation about the temple, Sahityam, Raga Lakshanam, composer, et al. Well covered. Thank you for this initiative. A nice photography and a well edited post. 🙏
Beauty and Divinity…..a treat to eyes and ears indeed, rustic grandeur of the kshetram touches the core!!!
Eagerly waiting for visualising Ranganayakam bhavayeham, in nayaki
Very very nice
Pramadham. God bless
Wonderful work by the artists – really enjoyed the session and look forward to this continuing – thank you.
Pranams! what a treat to eyes & ears. Thank you Bros.eagerly awaiting the next episode.
Beautiful composition and well rendered!! Would like to see several works like this and appreciate the intelligence of the composers!!
Fantastic. Thank you 🙏🙏
Excellent job. Blessed to learn about the stories of our temples and the krithies.
That was such a fulfilling divine experience….. learning both the significance of the temple, the detailing of the krithi in every aspect was so enlightening…Thank you Guruguhaamruta – DKD team
Very beautifully conceptualized, planned and executed. Deekshitar is close to your heart Ravi. Wish you document all 470 odd compositions available with passion.
Wish you and the team all the best.
Really blessed to learn abt richness of sahitya of Shri dikshitar and how it gives a virtual guide of the kshetra. One suggestion, can subtitles of the kriti be put in Sanskrit as well ? We can enjoy the beauty of the sahitya with sankrit script. Gt team effort.
Very informative initiative, lucid, simple easy to understand
Om Namo Narayanaya,
Bless the world with much needed peace
Aha…noble venture…
Beautiful Anna 🙏🏼😇
I have a request! Can you please feature Shri RK Shriramkumar Sir to explain the sahityam and its significance in one of your next productions?! Thank you 🙏🏼😇
Our Kuladeivam. Blessed to see and hear the two Vidwans. This Perumal is the tallest….taller than Balaji at Tirupathi.

Brilliant concept with excellent narration. Very apt tribute on Shree Dikshitar's birthday. Looking forward to next episode. May God bless you all for this wonderful efforts.
Excellent & soulful presentation of this Dikshitar krithi, it's saahithyam, Vamshavati raga lakshanam, the Divyadesam & it's Puranam!! Watched it twice fully & also shared it with friends! 🙏🙏 Thank you! Looking forward to the next episode!!
Great job ! Such a treat with no efforts from my side get to hear such wonderful music along with the bonus of explanation of the amazing kritis. Please keep up the good work , looking forward for many such videos. Sri Gurubhyo namaha 🙏
Very touched .God bless
Great initiative. Introducing both kshetra with related kriti, very good explanation of kshetra and about kriti, specialities of both matu and dhatu, comprehensive information in totality. Kudos to all participants.
Awesome presentation. Very well choreographed. Very crisp rendering and appropriate explanations 👏👏👏👏👏
Stopping after three cycles of Adi sounded a little odd. Please include the entire composition at the end with accompaniments and sangtis like you would in a concert. This would let the listener soak in all the information that you provide earlier.
Wonderful and Thanks a million for this effort 🙏👏👏👏👏
The orchestration for the krithi has been done so well and aesthetically. Presenting the composition in stages after interludes of conversation has been done very tastefully
The word Bhaktavatsala in this krithi is very attractive.
Excellent Congratulations to both Shri. Ravi Koran & Shri Madhusudanan Kalaichelvan
for their narration 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Excellent idea, presented wonderfully. We are able to learn both about the temples and the gems created by Dikshitar and to understand the meaning will definitely enable listeners to appreciate the kritis better. Thank you so very much…. Looking forward for the next episode🙏🙏🙏🙏
🙏🙏🙏
It will be great if we could get the song rendered from palavi to charanam so that we can learn these gems . Great initiative
Namaskarams
A wholesome treat to any culture lover, beautiful music, an honest attempt to explore and appreciate the composition further through the visual treat and detailed commentary
Excellent presentation! Very informative.Looking forward to this series.A very nice start on an auspicious birth day of Shri Dikshitar.
