Mandolin Srinivas’ playing has always left me amazed! This one is no exception. Lavanya Rama in Purnashadjam has always been one of my favourites. I am listening to this composition, Gananayakam, for the first time today and it has got me hooked to it now! I must say, this week has been a musically great week for me.
Please listen to this one even if you are not a Carnatic music lover. I am sure you will enjoy it.

listened to it – I didnt quite get what is special … nyana soonyam me !! … still it was energetic tune .. Just started learning about Ragas and Wikipedia isnt offering much … guess after some yrs ll pick up !! …
but i am listening to Antonio Vivaldi’s ‘The four seasons’. Check out all the Allegro parts of different season – my fav. is Spring. Such an experience … enjoyable…

Sreekrishnan,
Carnatica.com might be more helpful than Wikipedia. But, film songs might also help you in identifying raagas.
I will check out Antonio Vivaldi’s ‘The four seasons’ soon.
SK,
Good that you liked it

found this pretty useful – surprised to know Singara vaelaney theva and kannodu kanbathellam are of the same raaga !!

Sreekrishnan,
And, parts of Shabba Shabba too!
Yeah I too came across that page recently and found it to be quite a good one.
Btw, even Muppadhu Nimidam is of the same raaga, Abheri

Purnashadjam, yes, I immediately connect only with Lavanya Rama. I have heard Shri Nedunuri Krishnamurthy render it, I can’t recollect where.
