Goddess of Singing
Jun 27, 2018 01:59 PM1113 Views

Like how Saraswati is the Goddess of learning, MS Subbalakshmi is the goddess of Singing.My god starts with Ms Subbalakshmi Amma's "Kausalya Supraja" then it is Vishnusahasranamam" by amma, with finally "Baja Govindam". After a hectic day, I wrap my day with her "Hanuman Chalisa".

She lives forever ...MS.SUBBULAKSHMI

Good looks, intelligence, versatility, character, the humility to learn at all times and from all people. Finally, there is that elusive indefinable gift which few possess and which alone can transform a song into a thing of magic.'' That is MS SUBBU;AKSHMI FOR YOU!!!


Subbulakshmi learned and recorded the song the night of September 30th, finishing at 2 a.m. The disc, sent off by plane, was played on what was to be Gandhi's last birthday. Three months later he was dead by an assassin's bullet. When the announcement of his death was reported over the radio, it was followed by the playing of Subbulakshmi's recording of ''Hari Tuma Haro.'' Hearing her own voice singing his favorite bhajan was unnerving and Subbulakshmi finds to this day that ''Hari Tuma Haro'' brings a flood of memories of that tragic time.


In October 1966 Subbulakshmi flew to the United States to sing as her country's representative at the United Nations in connection with United Nations Day observances. Her reputation had preceded her and she received an ovation even before she came on stage. During the next seven weeks she performed across the United States from Boston to San Francisco and back. One critic wrote:


''A more educated and pedigreed singing art would be hard to imagine. The listener may well find himself under something close to a hypnotic spell.''


Subbulakshmi always reminds students that technique is not all. Ragas and bhajans, she points out, have been composed for the ''purpose of directing the minds of the listeners towards God and his manifestations,'' and that ''one's singing comes through one's own experience and it is this depth of feeling that enables one to communicate with the audience.'' In fact, expression is more highly sought and judged than quality of voice.


In the final analysis it is her empathy for the downtrodden — in daily life, not just in cheques donated on platforms — that gave her music the quality of mercy.

The Legend!!!
Jul 29, 2005 11:59 AM4200 Views

I Know I'm not that matured to write about M.S.S, the legendand most of them are. But couldn't control myself from writing about the everlasting, soul stirring voice that emanates divinity in every form into the soul.


I'm not too good at classical(carnatic) music, but when I listen to MSS voice in ''Kurai Onrum illai'', I melt away. I feel I don't need this world and only that song.Trust me on my saying about ''Bhaja Govindam''.For those who understand the lyrics of the song, it is life's destination. You reach the destiny when MSS sings the song with such divinity.


Many of the younger classical singers should learn a lot from her and I still can't believe she isn't staying on this earth. Still her everlasting voice will rule the hearts and if someone hasn't listened her songs, I would request them not to lose a miracle in their life.MSS was, is, and will be the legend.


This is not a review about her, because I'm too small to write about her. Just what I felt in my heart, I penned here.


A befitting tribute to the queen
Jun 22, 2005 09:12 AM3972 Views

This collection has 5 CD's which cover almost all the famous songs of M.S.


It also contains the songs from the movies in which she acted!


Needless to say all the songs are so powerful that you are almost overwhelmed!!!Kaatriniley varum geetham is rendered in such a way that it is sure to bring tears to your eyes!So have Maravene and hey hare.


But out of all the CD's the fifth one is my FAVOURITE!


It has all the songs I LOVE!esp. vadavariye,kurai ondrum illai.I don't think there can be anyone who does not like kurai ondrum illai.


And the way she chants Jai Jai shankara is enough for the entire house to vibrate with the chanting.The rendition is awesome!!!


I would recommend this collection to anyone who wants to listen to some soulful music.Even if you are not familiar with the south Indian languages in most of the songs it doesn't matter as her voice leaves you enthralled.


They are available in both cassetes and CD's.


So, enjoy them and forget yourselves while you listen to her...
