Anandamrithakarshini - Amritavarshini - Dr. Jayanthi Kumaresh

Once there was no rains in Ettayapuram where the great composer Shri Muthuswami Dikshitar lived, towards the end of his life. The villagers came and asked Dikshitar to please do something, to appease the raingods. Dikshitar sang this song Anandamrithakarshini in ragam Amrithavarshini and as he sang "Varshaya, Varshaya", the skies opened up and there was so much rain. Such was the power of this great composer.

I presented the Saraswathi Veena to a wonderful and receptive audience in Kolkata in December 2019 for the 17th Paramparik annual Indian Classical Conference. This particular song featured in that concert - presenting it here for you to enjoy!
