2026 Tyagaraja Aradhana in the Ragas Created by the Saint Himself🔹Volume 1🔸Dr. M Balamuralikrishna

❇️ On the sacred occasion of the 179th Sri Tyagaraja Aradhana, this audio album is offered as a humble musical tribute to the saint-composer whose life and art continue to illuminate the world of Carnatic music.

❇️ This album features ten exclusive kritis composed by Saint Tyagaraja in rāgas created by the saint himself—a remarkable testimony to his boundless creative genius. These compositions are rendered by Padma Vibhushan Dr. M. Balamuralikrishna, whose deep scholarship, aesthetic sensitivity, and bhāva-rich presentation bring out the very soul of these rāgas.

❇️ In these renditions, Dr. Balamuralikrishna places special emphasis on sahitya bhāva—allowing the lyrical beauty and spiritual intent of Tyagaraja’s compositions to shine forth with clarity and depth. Each kriti becomes both a musical exposition and a meditative experience, highlighting the defining characteristics of these rāgas while preserving their innate simplicity and devotion.

🕉️ May this album enhance the joy of listening for rasikas everywhere and serve as a reverential remembrance of Saint Tyagaraja, whose music remains a timeless path to nāda and bhakti.
