72 Melakartha ragas in One song

72 Melakartha ragas in One song
--------------------------------------------

Maha Vaidyanatha Iyer's had composed 72-melaraagamaalika. In the anupallavi/caraNam, each line is composed in one of the 72 melakartas and includes the name of the raga in the line as well (in order!). Bharat Ratna (Late) Srimathi M.S.Subbulakshmi has rendered this song. I liked listening to this song to remember the raga. The song can be heard at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vvyNgeyq9II


I present this as a tribute to the composer and of coure the queen of Carnatic Music, (Late) Srimathi M.S.Subbulakshmi












Also Srinivasa Gadhyam on the Lord of the seven Hills has a section that mentions all these rags too. In the slok it implies all these ragas assemble in Lord Srinivasa's abode, used by musicians to sing the glory of the Lord..  To see the video please visit http://srimannarayana108.blogspot.com/2013/07/nithya-kalyanam-nithya-uthsavam-om-namo.html
