S Aishwarya & S Saundarya are amongst the most popular musicians from the younger generation. Both of them are the Great Grand Daughters of Bharat Ratna M.S. Subbulakshmi & the Grand Daughters of Dr Radha Viswanathan and the torch bearers of the MSS legacy.

Aishwarya began her first lessons directly from MS Amma and Radha
Viswanathan when she was hardly 4 years old on Vijayadashami Day.
The huge repertoire of songs which was part of the MS Bani, was painstakingly
taught to Aishwarya by her Grandmother Dr Radha for a period of almost 20
years.

Aishwarya has also been learning from Vidushi Smt Jambu
Kannan for the last 18 years. She is a proficient Veena player too training in the
reputed Karaikudi style from Sri A Shankar Raman and Smt B Nagalakshmi.

Aishwarya has won various awards from many organisations most notably
being designated as the Ambassador of Classical Arts by the Connecticut State
Assembly in 2016. She was named as the rising star of Carnatic Music by the
AMN Global Group in March 2017. She has also won the Vocational Excellence

In Oct 2017 both the sisters Aishwarya & Saundarya were invited by the Indian
Prime Minister Sri Narendra Modi to sing at his residence wherein they sang
the composition “Maithreem Bhajatha” of Mahaperiaval of Kanchi which was
composed for World Peace and sung at the United Nations in 1966 by Smt M S
Subbulakshmi & Smt Radha Viswanathan.

S.Aishwarya and S.Saundarya are indeed extremely delighted to present the divine composition of the eternal poet Kalki Sri R Krishnamurthy – “Kaatrinilay Varum Geetham” which their Great Grandmother Bharat Ratna M.S.Subbulakshmi immortalised in the movie “Meera” (produced by Sri T Sadasivam under the banner of Chandraprabha Cinetone and directed by Ellis R Dungan).The Music Director was Sri S V Venkataraman.

Kaatrinilay Varum Geetham

Pallavi

காற்றினிலே வரும் கீதம்
கண்கள் பனித்திடப் பொங்கும் கீதம்
கல்லும் கனியும் கீதம்

Kaatrinile varum geetham
Kangal panithida pongum geetham
Kallum kaniyum geetham

English Translation (meaning)
The song that travels through wind,
That song that brings tears in your eyes,
That song which makes even stone melt.

Anu Pallavi

பட்டமரங்கள் தளிர்க்கும் கீதம்
பண்ணொலி பொங்கிடும் கீதம்
காட்டு விலங்கும் கேட்டே மயங்கும் மதுர மோஹன கீதம்
நெஞ்சினிலே---நெஞ்சினில் இன்பக் கனலை எழுப்பி நினைவழிக்கும் கீதம்

Pattamarangal thalirkkum geetham
Pannoli pongidum geetham
Kaattu vilangum kette mayangum madhuramohana geetham
Nenjinile — Nenjinil inba kanalai ezhuppi ninaivazhikkum geetham

English Translation (meaning)
That song which makes even dead wood put up a new twig,
that song in which the sound of music ebbs,
That pretty sweet song that makes even wild animals sleep,
That song which ignites a fire in the heart and makes you swoon.

Charanam 1

சுனை வண்டுடன் சோலைக்குயிலும் மனம் குவிந்திடவும்
வானவெளிதனில் தாரா கணங்கள் தயங்கி நின்றிடவும்
ஆ--- என் சொல்வேன் மாயப்பிள்ளை வேய்ங்குழல் பொழி கீதம்

Sunai vandudan solaikkuyilum manam kuvindhidavum
Vaanavelithanil thaara kanangal thayangi nindridavum
Aah, en solven maayappillai venkuzhalum pozhi geetham

English Translation (meaning)
Ho, what shall I tell, the song from the white flute of that enchanted boy,
Even the nightingale of the garden on coming of the stream, would get enthralled,
And even in the stars in the sky would hesitate and stand.

Charanam 2
நிலா மலர்ந்த இரவினில் தென்றல் உலாவிடும் நதியில் –
நீல நிறத்து பாலகன் ஒருவன் குழல் ஊதி நின்றான்
காலமெல்லாம்—காலமெல்லாம் அவன் காதலை எண்ணி உருகுமே** என் உள்ளம்

Nila malarndha iravinil thendral ulaavidum nadhiyil-
Neela niarathu baalagan oruvan kuzhal oodhi nindraan
Kaalemellaam—Kaalamellaam avan kaadhalai enni
urugumo en ullam- Kaatriniley varum geetham

English Translation (meaning)
In the night when the moon shine, In the river where the Southern breeze strolls
A boy who is of blue colour , Stood singing on the flute,
For ever , Would my heart melt thinking of his love forever
