I have to say one beautiful character of Ilayaraja's sir. He always respects senior people, musicians, and all, and he never ever disrespected seniors. 81 years he touching foot without any hesitation. Ilayaraja Sir Always great 💓💎
@@arunmohanan4328 Yes, honest people are unpredictable! Corporate PR-curated speeches are VERY MUCH predictable that even you or I can write one for your PRR! After all, not every music director can afford to have such high-fi corporate teams for PR alone.

No words to express myself, they have so much respect to each other, a true bhaktas of Goddess Saraswati. I really fortunate to watch this video on Vijayadashami festival. 🙏
Apart from so many credits Maestro Illayaraja upheld the Tamil culture, Indian Tradition.inspite of modern tech,he gave priority to Indian Classic and brilliantly infused modernity into Traditional music... Treasure of India.A Gift to Universe 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤
Lovely and unbelievable. Both legends are appreciating each other. Indian culture is to bow and touch feet for elders blessing. Only legends will maintain. We also touch yours feet for blessing and release more and more. God bless both of them.

From Salil Chowdhury to RDB, from Anand-Milind to Ajay-Atul, he is held in high regards by them all. RDB, in 1982, after listening to his song "Yedho mogam" said "IR is ahead of us all by 10 years"!

Naushad said in 1986 while launching IR's How to name it album "There is so much to learn from Ilayaraja". Several Hindustani exponents - Ustad Sultan Khan (Guna album), Pandits Ajoy Chakrabarty (Namrata ke Saagar song, and Hey Ram song), Bhimsen Joshi, singers Rajashree Pathak, duo Rajan-Sajan etc. have either sung or played for IR.

Almost all famous Bollywood playback singers, including Amitabh Bachchan, have sung under him. IR's legacy is unmatched and unsurpassable.
I loved the part where Illaiyaraja spills the secret of Hariprasad Chaurasia as to how he used to continuously practice even when no one was watching without making any sound, How dedicated he is to his art.That is why he is the greatest Indian flutist in the modern era.
How much it takes obe to appreciate others talent and with such love.... Oh my god.... Can see both of their friendship, love, admiration and this video again and again... Om namo bhagwate Sri Ramanaya🙏
still both of them remember old memories , oh nothing but wind was played by hari sir, so emotion to see both of them sharing their memories, raja sir proud of you , raja sir respect his elders is proved once more , when hari sir said first time he appreciating me was awesome 😊😊😊😊, hari sir said it’s old song but it is so fresh now also 😢😢😢😢
