42. Godly BGMs

I have uploaded two BGMs from Aathma and Thai Mookambigai which has a similar theme.

In Thai Mookambigai, the Goddess disguises as an untouchable woman helping Major Sunderrajan. When Major knows about it, wow, the WCM chorus by Maestro gives us goosebumps, followed by the poignant Malarena Kadhiroli chant (in Hayagiri Nandhini sandham).




In Aathma climax scene, God appears as light, in a certain temple atop the mountain – at a designated time. She destroys the evil spirits and saves a devotee from his cancer. Here also Maestro plays a beautiful WCM violin and flutes section for the blooming flowers on the mountain in the background. This is again followed by Vedic chants and a short temple piece on Nagaswaram.




Both the pieces are awe-inspiring (WCM) and devotional (chants) at the same time. Thank you Maestro, for the invaluable pokkisham you have given us.

Goosebumps!!!

Certainty, HIS music is way of reaching GOD. On other hand, HE Himself an incarnation.

Sabari paatti would taste every fruit to authenticate and gives de good one to Rama. Now, Boss you play de role of Sabari. You bet. Nonetheless, all HIS compositions are GEMS!
