The Krithis that touched me from the concerts of Late Smt M.S. Subbulakshmi

Songs that touched me from the concerts of (Late) M.S.S Amma
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Today (Sep 16th 2015) as we celebrate the 100th Birthday of Bharat Ratna (Late) Smt. M,S.Subbulakshmi, I was listening to many of her master pieces from many concerts. I had chosen twelve Ratnams that appealed to my heart and put them in the form of a poem in some order. I have added the Song title or Part of Pallavi and the Ragam and the Bhava she was trying to convey in each of these Krithis. Hope you enjoy. I have given the Youtube link as ready reference. 

Even though "Kausalya Supraja Rama is not sung in Concerts, I include it because this is the first Stothram Popularized by Smt. MSS and set to Vasantha Thilakam Meter.
This is Stothram composed by Prathivathi Bhayankaram Annagrachariar of Kanchipuram under instructions by his Guru  Sri Manavala Mamunigal


Even today she still lives in every household via her voice.
