"Sisurvethi pasurvethi vethi gaanarasam phanihi"
The intimate phrase to tell very minimally about the divine music.Carnatic music which is a form of Classical Music in South-India was initiated by sree Purandharadasa a Kannadiga,this eternal form of music is basically used to praise the higher being, the god...thus is a direct form to reach his gracious presence.Thousands of Raagaas, each are considered to be the incarnation of Lord (Raagaalananthaalu nee veyi roopaalu)...Ragam and Thalam form the basic structure of the music.
Carnatic Singers from history list famous Purandaradasa,Thyagaraju and Annamacharya these trio whom I quote as "gaanagandharvas" are the frontiers in this music......who spread this music as a whole to public.
