No words are enough to praise Rama. When your performance does about Him, the same for yours too.
This is an outstanding presentation of parabhakti on Rama with a deep sense of devotion, narration and singing his glory. You get goose bumps listening to this with tears rolling down your eyes.
Srivatsan super, the transformation of one raga to another in a easy way enjoyed. Divine singing, Varanasi’s explanation 👍👍. 🎻 and percussionist 👏👏👏👏
I am immensely thankful to all of you the most devoted music lovers who could enjoy and express your opinions to this musical presentation of Saint Thygarsja"s life and his ever loved krithis by this young group of excellent artistes on stage who created a heavenly abode for us for nearly three hours.I am not joking I listen to this mesmerizing program everyday and find a blissful lokam.
Nice to here and see mam. Keep it up
I am thankful to the organizers who brought this young talent and wisdom of music intertwined with Bhakti. I was blaming god for keeping me away from such people but I realized he gave me chance to enjoy and immerse in trance for those two hours. By blaming you also you, give the seekers a chance,this one is such a chance. I can bless them only at 82 and pray for their success in life. They will get it because of their selfless devotion to god and music. 🙏🎶
🙏🙏🙏👌👌

The narrator repeatedly refers to Tulsidasji's opus as "Ram charitra manas." I believe the corrct title is "Ram charit manas." (Meaning is the same.
