Jagath Janani

I learnt Carnatic music for about a year long back when I was in school.....and suddenly quit! Don't know why!!??

Music and singing is a very close part of me...Music means moods, life's moments, deep meaning, symbolic of situations, gets me emotional, livens me up, keeps me occupied. Suddenly 2 days back, an old beautiful devotional song I used to hum before, sprung up in my mind - Jagath Janani Sukha Paani by MM Dhandapani Desikar and I managed to look it up on in.com. Its a short, lovely song, free flowing, simple and melodious. I used to love singing it before and had forgotten it for a while now. I heard some other versions of the same song by Priya Sisters and other performers - but none I believe matches MM Desikar. I slept last night humming that very song....many, many a time - priceless!!
