The Sacred Chants

I was in Bangalore this weekend when i came across a composition called "the sacred chants"
it was sung by 2 young artists. So hearing the tune of suprabhadam in a youthful voice was a pleasure but it can never compete with the devotion MSS.
The tunes were of the songs that we have heard many times over in temples and other devotional stuffs but the words werent the same...suddenly hearing the words that we learnt long time back brought back beautiful memories
I heard a bhajan about kaali and remembered the words that i was taught when i was 5 or 6....its amazing how you remember anything that is taught in a particular tune but never remember anything for the exams..guess this is why the old gurukulam system was really effective
the shocking part of the whole thing was the fact that this music was done by the local boys- SEVEN
I was sad that this wasnt a big success in Kerala
