Sivasakthi Keerthana Malai - Tamil | By Dr. Rukmini Ramani/ Music Book
Sivasakthi Keerthana Maalai Volume III, one of seven volumes, is a collection of keerthanas written by Papanasam Rukmini Ramani, a renowned composer and the daughter of Papanasam Sivan. Several well-known singers passionately interpret her compositions in the seven volumes of Sivasakthi Keerthana Maalai which contain more than 2000 of her compositions. The compositions in Volume III are devoted to the gods of six different Hindu philosophical traditions in ragas such as Kalyani, Chandra Gounse, Natai Kurinji, Behag, Revathi, Shanmuga Priya, and Desh.
The book is useful not only for attending Carnatic music events but also for assisting budding singers in accessing real notes and rendering them in a way that pleases ardent Carnatic music enthusiasts. Rukmini Ramani has published volumes of Papanasam Sivan's compositions as part of her commitment to preserving his legacy.
