CARNATIC
COMPOSITIONS that allow you to introspect life
Carnatic Music is usually associated with devotional compositions and the musical trinity also composed many such masterpieces on various deities . For example , Saint Thyagaraja swami composed most of his compositions to Lord Rama and Shyama Sastry wrote most of the compositions to Goddess Kamakshi . However , there are some wonderful compositions that also speak about the nuances of life and how to introspect oneself . These compositions are like great life guides to live a fulfilling life . Here are seven ultimate Carnatic compositions that lead to the path of introspection :
1
Manasa Yetulorthune- Malayamarutham- Thyagaraja : A beautiful composition that speaks about the fluctuations mind goes through and with the path of spirituality and devotion , how can one overcome the challenges . Saint Thyagaraja throws light on the swaying thoughts of mind in a beautiful melodious manner .
2
Entha Nerchina- Suddha Dhanyasi- Thyagaraja : Saint Thyagaraja has a wittiness when it comes to compositions , and this composition is a perfect example of how human attractions can take over the mind . The first line “ Entha Nerchina Entha Choosina Entha vaaralaina Kaantha Daasule ”( No matter how much you learn , see , or a great person- they can be slaves to the beauty of a woman ). This is indeed a witty and interesting way of saying how human mind works and introspect about life .
3
Dudukugala Nanne Dora- Gowla- Thyagaraja : One of the pancharatna kritis , this kriti is a wonderful ode to how human behaviour brings problems in the world . It also throws light on the caste system and also gives a solution on how to live a better life by overcoming those vices .
