Thiruvaachakam –set to Music by Illaiyaraja is a soft and supple fabric,
A Fabric woven with Devotion,
A Fabric laced with Spiritual Punctuations,
A Fabric Radiating Positive Energy,
A Fabric as intensely Colourful as It Is Emotional!
திருவாசகத்திற்கு உருகார் ஒரு வாசகத்திற்கும் உருகார்
இளையராஜாவின் இசைக்கு உருகார் ஒரு இசைக்கும் உருகார்.
One who does not melt for Thiruvaachakam will not melt for anything.
One who does not melt for Illaiyaraja's Music Will Not Melt For Any Other Music!

Illaiyaraaja-The Guiding Force!
"I wonder how many of you noticed the rainbow last evening? It was just over the water, and one came upon it suddenly. It was a beautiful thing to behold , and it gave one a great sense of joy, an awareness of the vastness and the beauty of the earth.To communicate such joy one must have a knowledge of words, the rhythm and beauty of right language, mustn't one? But what is more important is the feeling itself, the ecstacy that comes with the deep appreciation of something lovely; and this feeling cannot be awakened by the mere cultivation of knowledge or memory."
These are the words of one of the greatest thinkers of 20th Century-J Krishnamurthi.
It conveys many meanings and I was reminded of this quote when I listened to one of the greatest compositions.
I shall come to that later but I feel what has been said by JK applies to Music as well. Mere knowledge is not enough to appreciate Music. What is important is the feeling itself .Any analysis devoid of the sense of ecstasy is like a beautiful body without soul.
In the recent past , many of my friends have been telling me that they consider their lack of knowledge of Classical Music a weakness and a kind of a stumbling block. But it is my strong belief that if one is able to appreciate the inherent beauty, other things like understanding the nuances happen naturally.
In fact this is much better than being an 'expert' in the theory of Music which gives some people a self –assumed halo and in the process stopping them from having an open mind to appreciate finer elements!
Now coming back to the composition that reminded me of JK's Quote.
