Recommendation#5

Pancharatna Krithis

Originally composed by the saint Thyagaraja, these five compositions are sung every year during the Thyagaraja Aradhana. Just listening to them this morning (on Music India Online) reinforced my resolve to get back to my violin practice. To be able to play music, to be able to sing – these are gifts indeed. However, one gift that remains un-acknowledged is the gift of appreciation. If music can take you to the heavens, give you a glimpse of your Higher Self, bring up immense gratitude – then you are truly blessed, my friend.
