Vande Sangeetam!
To music, I take a bow. It gives us so much, from rejuvenating our spirits and cleansing our mind, to a sense of physical well being and a definite spiritual direction if we choose. Sometime during our life, we need to prostrate before this power. We attempt here to share all that it has given us- Composers, ragas, thoughts on puranas. We also try to look at what we should do, individually and collectively, to ensure that its purity and profound beauty are passed on to the generation next.
Recorded in natural setting in a village Mundaje, Karnataka.

I'm currently listening to a Bhairavi varnam called Mohamana of Ponniah Pillai. Not many people have sung it. It is filled with Shringara rasa completely. The dancer/ composer asks Thyagarajaswamy of Thiruvarur to come and make love. Pretty heavy. Bhairavi is a bautiful raga. Love DKP Amma's rendition of Raksha Bettare. Thank you for this Anna!
Bhairavi raga has power . But I appreciate the courage of Sri Bhimsen Joshi who,even under the threat of the dacoits could sing a song in this raga and enthrall the dacoits.
Namaste Sir!
I think CarnAtic music students learn more compositions in Bhairavi than in any other rAgA.
The Swarajathi kAmAkshi, Ada thALa varNam ViiribONi, followed by many kruthis and keerthanas.
The song by mahAKavi " thondru niganzhnthathu" is sounds so powerful and energizing.
ArunAchala Kavi's "SwAmi namaskAram, swAmi namaskAram" sung in the very same tune creates so much of pathos. It almost makes us respect KumbhakarNa for his loyalty towards rAvaNa and his unshakable bhakthi towards Sree rAmA.
A popular song "vElavarE ummaith thEdi oru madanthai" used in dance recitals is naughty and takes to task Lord Murugan himself, for making a pretty young maiden waiting throughout the night.
The power of Music is indeed mysterious and lies far beyond the power of mere words.
And excellent presentation
That SaRi Yavaramma just gave me goosebumps. Thank you for this excellent video. 🙏
Wonderful Bhairavi sir...
What a presentation. Nakkerar thirumurugatrupadai padina madiri, bimsen joshi bhairavi :)
Great service to Music. Lovely locale & excellent analysis, thanks for your service.
Highlight is Aryam Abhayambikam. Thank u very much for the nice renditioni. But you missed ' Janani mamava ' of Swathi Thirunal (Navarathri Krithi).
Supr analysis of Bhairavi Thanks a lot Vijai Siva sir
One more thing I remember is that I have a learnt a Nindhasthuthi in Bairavi, Mukhathaikaatti of Papanasa Muthaliar taught by Smt R Vedavalli amma through Radio when I was in Chennai for a period of 6 months in 1986.
That's such a beautiful kruthi. I'm currently listening to a varnam called Mohamana of Ponniah Pillai. Not many people have sung it. It is filled with Shringara rasa completely. The dancer/ composer asks Thyagarajaswamy of Thiruvarur to come and make love. Pretty heavy.
An exceptional series! As you were saying about an entire concert by Nithyasree in Bhairavi ragam, I remembered an earlier program in AIR Hyderabad (if I remember right) called Eka raga sammelanam of 75 minutes duration. Smt DKP chose Bhairavi and presented a delectable range of songs. That was years back, may be in the 80's.
BHAIRAVI ragam always contains a mesmerizing bhava and Ghambhiram as its own. thank you Siva sir
Super.
I recommended this series Vande Sangeetam to my 88 year old uncle and this is what he said.Long back he was listening to a kutchery of a young lad in Chennai and told him that you remind me of my favourite Vijay Siva to which the young boy humbly thanked him profusely and proudly said that he was your Shishya.Deergaayushman bhava.Your yeoman service to Carnatic music leaves me emotional.In one of your episodes you had spoken about Rathnagirishwarar and Aralakesi .Was fortunate to live near the temple in Besant Nagar and visited it almost everyday.God bless you abundantly
My favorite is viribhoni..... Just love to sing n hear
Namaskaram. A beautiful Bhairavi. It does bring happiness. Ragam per se.
May be sir, would you consider part 2 bhairavi to include the ubiquotous Keesu Keesu endru of ANDAL or the Alamelu manga of Sri Annamacharya please!
Wow
Thanks a million for choosing the most melodious Bhairavi Raga. Tears roll down when the kritis KANCHI KAMAKSHI of Shyama Shastry and the NAVAVARANA KRITI OF the greatest Sanskrit Scholar DIKSHITAR are sung by Musicians who can imbibe the meaning and are great devotees.
Ni padamule is also very magnificent piece and giving emotional feeling that makes us soak in that raga
Excellent analysis of the raagam. Sri Vijay Siva singing is a conneisure's delight.
Because of this series I searched for aryam abhayambam and found the abhayamba vibakthi kritis by Sri D K Jayaraman. Hearing it from yesterday and totally amazed by both the music and the lyrics. All thanks to you for sharing your knowledge with us. I would attribute me finding such unheard gems to this series only.
PS I read an newspaper article that this series is only 12 episodes long. A humble request, considering your convenience make more videos sir.
Bhairavi is as such ragam no dought and heavy ragam when Vijay shiva demonstrate we can sit and listen endless thanks a lot
Shri Raghavengra Swamiji composed only one krti (indu enage Govinda...on Udupi Krshna)that's in Bhairavi.My favourite raaga.
Really ranjita episode.So many thanks Vijayji.
Excellent narration of the raga bhairavi.
What a magnum opus episode! The grandeur of the raga and the myriad krithis and emotions are just splendid 🙏
Goddess Bhairavi had saved Bhimsein Joshi
V interesting
Extraordinary exposition and exploration of this magnificent mega Raga Bharavi and subtle nuances and emotions that pervade in the various compositions of the Trinities and other famous composers. My sincere gratitude . An awakening experience. Only 12 episodes. As my late Father used to say of the Maha Vidwan Shri Ariyakudi Ramanunja Iyengar after he had finished singing a flourish of a Raga ' Could not Anna expand the Raga a little more'. Thanks Sir.
Ecstatic experience of tasting different flavours ( அறுசுவை) of Bhairavi. Very happy to hear about my childhood memories, Yaro Ivar Yaro, Engal Thaai. I was very eager that you should not miss mentioning Upacharamu, ViribhoNi and Dikshitsr's Navavarnam in Bhairavi. A brief tour de force on Dikshitar's version of Bhairavi was refreshing. It is like, in any colour there are different shades; skyblue, Oxford blue, MSblue.
But the core is unmistakable.
Very Ranjakam indeed🙏🙏.
Sir, am introduced to hear your beautiful gambeeramana singing by my athai( who passed away three days back) two decades ago.... She plays a lot of your kritis at home. Am reminded about her with tears and thankful to her. She loves your arupadai veedu kritis esp "vaangum enaku irukkai & Sri balasubramanyam and engal thaai, which u sang here in bairavi"
It really seams like i am right there beside you in an outdoor class guruji, plz continue this series along with rare compositions and rare composers pl
An artistically clinical dissection of this beautiful Raga and its nuances. Listening to the Sri Dikshithar version of Bhairavi, with its attendant nuance for the first time. Apart from the content which merits a separate description, your range and depth of krithis is a true tribute to Smt DKP & Sri DKJ. Hope your sishya parampara imbibes and continues this legacy,. This series is rocking, the Google monetisation at the start, shows its increasing popularity week by week.
I still remember your description regarding usage of the word bhairavi from the muthuswamy dikshithar kriti chintayama in your panchalinga kriti lec dem. This episode was entirely bliss for me as bhairavi is one of my favorite ragams. Kamakshi swarajathi, Sari evaramma, viribhoni and chintayama being my favorites in this beautiful raga. As a great admirer of Sri Muthuswamy Dikshithar I was pleased to hear an unknown kriti as specified in Sangeetha Sampradaya Pradarshini. Glad that the videos are longer now. We are blessed to hear you share your knowledge and experience with us. Waiting for next week. PS - Hoping for a Margam video on Sri Muthuswamy Dikshithar.
As usual Bhairavi by Siva was good. Wonderful Raga by all means
Wonderful information about Bhairavi raga Sir. Great effort as always...Thank you so much. I would like to add here that, others like M.Bhagavathar, S.Tirunal, M.Vasudevacharyar have also contributed immensely to this Ragam. Few popular compositions of Purandaradasar, also other Dasars, one popular composition of Raghavendra swamigal are also tuned in this ragam. However, being such a familiar and a powerful ragam Im sure there would be no composers to mention who has not tasted the nectar of ragam Bhairavi. As you said there is no Mangalam found, similarly i have not found any krithi on Ganapathi in this ragam. While the beginning of Abhayamba Bhairavi sounds like ragam Ghanta because of shuddha dhaivatham but still the beauty of Bhairavi just flows later. That shows the uniqueness of M.Dikshitar. This alone makes any person understands that they are not normal composers but Avathaara Purushaas. Once again Thank you so much Sir. Looking forward to have more insights in the upcoming videos. My Namaskarams..
Such a lovely compilation, again! Very interesting to know that Dikshitar used a different flavor of Bhairavi, would be good to hear the two versions of his Bhairavi compositions side by side. Thank you for a very informative episode.
Wow. Wow..so much of interesting information about Bhairavi ... Thanks once again sir 🙏. Cant wait for the next episode ...
Beautiful anecdotes about greatest composers, raagam, ragatherapy and Pandit Bhimsen Joshi! And interestingly, the Vande Sangeetam theme music is also in Bhairavi- full of majesty 😀
Beautiful presentation...blissful bhairavi in different dimensions
Namaskaram Anna. Simple and lucid explanation.🙏🙏🙏🙏. These videos are extremely useful for understanding the basics of Carnatic music. Have always enjoyed listening to your melodious renditions. Regards Sujata from Munch and Mull 🙏🙏
Feeling very happy to watch and learn through your excellent series Sir !
My sincere wishes to you Vijay Siva Sir and great respects to all composers .
Bhairavi exploration SUPERB ! Thank you so much .
Very good explanation for Carnatic Music Bhairavi raga! Scholarly explanation!
I got long back an opportunity to accompany in thiruvanmiyur a temple concert.
Namaskaram Sir. Excellent. As you mentioned each & every uruppidis have different Rasa & the way each Vaggeyakarars approach is different, Very powerful Raga as you mentioned the very name of the Raga shows in each & every composition. Thanks a lot Sir. Wish we could hear more.
So wonderful anna. 👌 this shows that I have not even learnt the tip of the carnatic music ice berg..
Excellent diction. Please keep uploading such wonderful videos.
Wish to hear a full song each week
Oh now I understand why I felt Aryaam sounds like nathabhairavi and not the usual Bhairavi.. it has no D2!!
Waiting for more episodes in this series! Loving it completely
Vijay Siva.. simply soooper
This is krishnarajan
This show is very well orchestrated 🙏👌
Dasa sloki also please, next episodes la..
Brilliant insight into Bhairavi
Namaskaram Vijay Siva sir. Beautiful explanation sir. I cannot forget the Bairavi Navavaranam, that rendered by yourself at the residence of Ramakrishnan at Calcut. Again my namaskarams.
Can you Guru, please include Swathi Thirunal Kriths as well. 🙏
🙏🙏 saranam guruji. As usual semma narration n information 🙏🙏🙏
Sir, I would like to add that the kruti composed by thyagraja swami in bhairavi Lalithe sri pravridh is a masterpiece. The lalgudi kshetra krutis first keerthanai is lalithe from what I have read.
Re: the anecdote of BhimsenJoshi, VijaySiva has himself conceded
that the Bhairavi of the Hindustani classical is different from our Bhairavi.
The former is our Sindhubhairavi which is so different from Bhairavi and is
used in both traditions as a minor but overwhelmingly sweet renderings.
How can the anecdote be relevant but for the commonness in name?
This is just a footnote for a scholarly but a bird eye view of a most major raga.
Superb session Vijay Uncle👏👍👍
Brilliant, Sir 🙏🙏🙏
An excellent explanation of an elegant ragam. There is a lot more to these ragas than what we hear. Is the ragam beautified because of the power of lyrics or do the lyrics attain eternity because of the ragam in which they are sung and it’s nuances?
A wonderful experience in this episode.
Thanks and God bless you.
Very educative as usual and so nice to hear...
👍👌🙌. Ni padamule gathi
Awesome Sir!
Always enlightening 🙏
Simply superb
I am surprised that Swati Thirunal Navaratri Kriti "Janani Mamava Me, Bharati Jaya, Sarasijasana Jaaye" in Bhairavi was not mentioned...
🙏🙏🙏 Kamakshi amba anu dinamu maravakane 😭🙏🙏🙏
Super very good sir
Very insightful series!
Brilliant Bhairavi ❤️🙏
Well explained
🙏🙏🙏🙏
Amazing sir thanks 🙏 for such a good bhairavi do you know anyone who has sung the Dikshitar style I can listen to. Thanks again 🙏🙏🙏
Sir, I would like to know about Music therapy
Respected sir,
Kindly explain the origin and meaning of the song"neelakantam bhajeham " in raga kedaragowlai composed by Muthuswami dikshitar.
Thank you.
So much to learn from u Sir,🙏🙏🙏
Shri Raghavengra Swamiji composed only one krti (indu enage Govinda...on Udupi Krshna)that's in Bhairavi.My favourite raaga.
Really ranjakam episode.So many thanks Vijayji.
