About
the Maharagapuram Gandharva’s Concert in a Capsule
Video Series Initiative
For those
of us who love the idea of the sabha but cannot always spare two hours, this
series is a beginning. Each episode takes a live concert . The kind where the
air in the hall changes when the artist finds a phrase and distils it into ten
minutes. A thread of an alapana. A niraval that lifts off unexpectedly. A
moment when the mridangam answers a question the vocalist did not know they
were asking.
You may
not recognise every raga. You do not need to. You may not know what a thani
avartanam is. That is completely fine. The music will find you exactly where
you are.
This is
not a documentary. This is not a lecture. This is a concert. Ten minutes of
one. And if it does what we hope it does, ten minutes will not feel like nearly
enough.
Welcome. Press play.

About
the Inaugural Episode – 14th June 2026 - -“Sangeetha Sharade” Concert by
Maharajapuram S.Ganesh Viswanathan on June 5th 2026
Snippets from my recital for the “Sangeetha Sharade” concert series, hosted by the Sringeri Sharada Peetham with the Blessings of Ubhaya Jagadgurus of Dakshinaamnaaya Sri Sri Sringeri Sharadha peetam ,Jagadguru Sankaracharya Sri.Sri.Bharathi Theertha Maha Sannidhanam, Jagadguru Sankaracharya Sri.Sri.Vidhu Shekara Bharathi Sri Sannidhanam , have been arranged to give you the taste of a concert experience.
A bhajan
in mellow Saramati sets the tone of bhakthi. Guru sthuthis follow a guessing
game – is it about different Gurus, or are they all sung in the praise of one
Guru; wait, are the ragas same too? If you are not into trivia and are just
soaking the guru tattva, then “Dayarani” in Mohanam takes you deeper into that
space. The tempo changes with some energetic Oothukadu songs.
This
offering is a ten-minute capsule capturing an entire kutcheri experience for
you to enjoy in your personal comfort space. I’ll leave you with
Thiruvalluvar’s words: Sevvikku unavuilladha podhu, siridhu vayitrikkum eeya
padum (The mind's primary nourishment comes from listening)
