In the charanam the tune is just excellent. He has used Mridhangam as a wonderful rhythm support in that song. S.P.Balasubramaniam and S.Janaki! He starts his song in madhya sthayi like Sa Sa Sa Sa (meendum meendum) and then all of a sudden jumps one octave to the thara sthayi Sa (vaa).

His first was probably in the movie Vikram. Ilayaraja too, has tuned wonderful DharmavathiвЂ™s. Nobody can molt the profound ancestral influence to become a вЂњnewвЂќ creator (in absolute terms). We are all a small part of the continuously self-propagating enormous force that originated in the big bang. It sends Shatrugan Sinha first and then later Rajnikanth. It sends Nagesh first in the time window to do his comedy and then Vadivelu. Nature requires a pre-existent state to progress to the next state. If it were not for the stimulus of advaitha of Sankara, neither would have Ramanujam come up with his visishtadvaitha, nor Madvacharya with his dvaitha philosophy. If it were not for Newton to intrigue Einstein, the latter would not have become such a great scientist. The important thing to remember and appreciate is that Newton did prominent work on gravity before, and his ideas pre-existed the period of Einstein. Newtonian concept of gravity was put to disuse by the вЂњnascentвЂќ Einsteinian concept in the 20th century. We have our roots strongly based on our immediate previous generation, and less significantly on the innumerable generations in-between from the ages of origin of man to now. We all have come into the world not like Mr. People are born constantly and people are dead similarly.

He wants his music to be original and new! Alright bro, make music without the influence of your forefathers! Let us see, if you can! Rahman said in one of his early interviews that he avoided listening to contemporary music as did not want to get influenced by that music. For our purposes to discuss Dharmavathi, I called ottagathai kattiko as Dharmavathi in this essay. In ottagathai kattikko, he very liberally uses both Ni2 and Ni3, making it difficult to bring it under either Hemavathi (58th melam) or Dharmavathi. Even though there is predominant use of Da2 in sugam sugam, in the charanam he uses Da3 Ni3 prayogam like Neethimathi raagam (60th melam). Of course, Rahman had exhibited the usual (predictable) вЂњcinema musicianвЂ™s tendencyвЂќ of deviating from the raagam by using some foreign swaras in both the above songs. The song is ottagathai kattikko, which came as an unbelievable melody in that movie with a fantastic rhythm played in the pukka South Indian instrument вЂњthavilвЂќ. Earlier, Rahman has tuned one more Dharmavathi in the movie Gentleman. While another song from the same movie became a good hit ( senthamizh naatu thamizhacheeyE sung by the late Shahul Ameed), this lovely song based on a pure classical raagam did not become a hit. He starts the tune in the madhyama sthayi like Sa Ga Sa Ga, with a very very prominent chord sequences in the background. It is one of the best songs that Rahman has tuned in his short career so far.

I think the singer of the song is Vani Jayaram. About couple of years ago Rahman tuned a superb Dharmavathi song in Vandicholai Chinnarasu. It is the prathimadhyamam of Gowrimanohari (23rd melam). Sa Ri2 Ga2 Ma2 Pa Da2 Ni3 Sa as arohanam and the converse as avarohanam. IвЂ™ve added links to the songs, so you can listen as you read.Дharmavathi is the 59th melakartha raagam. This is the 15th of 15 articles titled Classical Ilayaraja appeared on Usenet in the 90s.
