PUNYA PRAVRITHIKKU SNEHADARANGAL PRANAM…
great….many who ritually chant these mantras do not understand the meaning and thereby make mistakes in the pronunciation.
Nice simple slokas for kids. Just few lines . Easy to learn and meanings are also given. Thanks.
I am going to try to teach bhajans to my autistic son who likes music but still does not speak fluently and pronounce correctly. Please add some more small 2 line ones.

Sa,Ri,Ga,Ma,Pa,Dha,Ni – Saptha swaras in carnatic music and Muladhara, Swadistana, Manipuraka, Anahata, Vishudda, Ajna, Sahasrara – Seven chakras in human body. Then why seven chakras generally called as “Shat chakras” (I think shat means 6 only).
The six centres are muladhara, swadhisthana, manipura, anahata, vishuddha and ajna. The seventh chakra called as the Sahasrara chakra (the Crown Chakra) is inside the brain . Because it is in the brain, and not along the spinal column, it is not counted with the other six centres. It is the supreme chakra and final destination of kundalini energy. Hence the chakras are generally termed as Shat Chakras.
Thank you for clarification.
Great. Need still more. Please
Hi Anuradha,
thanks for creating a lovely blog filled with music. I tried to download the music files under carnatic singing lessons. I get a message saying”Visit soundcloud.com to listen to this content”. I am not able to hear or download the files. Kindly help.
Thanks,
Usha
Please check whether soundcloud url is blocked in your computer. I think you have to google and find out how it can be unblocked. One of my students had the same problem and she said she solved it..
