    hi, i am narayanan from chennai. i visited magle thru a google search result. i was really surprised when i read 'irir123' had published just exactly what i had in my mind about maestro ilayaraja.

    yes i also grew up listening to IR. golden days of music. a complete music composer, meaning he has composed for almost every possible 'bhava' or emotion or feeling known to human race. i can not think of any other indian composer who has composed for so many comedy sequences with spellbinding humor effect. take for example, punnagai mannan(theme music for chaplin chellapa) or karagattakaran(theme for the karagatta party).

    thanks irir123, i have never posted anything online. i would like to know your profile. my email id is naarayanan@yahoo.com.

    All that discussion about Ilaiyaraja is well deserved. He is a musical genius. One does not have to be musical buff to enjoy what he renders. I had a chance of listening to his music once and needless to say it touches the heart and hypnotizes the mind.

    Greetings, I am a follower of Sufi Hazrat Inayat Khan's music and I would like to comment on your post above.
    I am sure will agree with me when you look at it in this light, whereas raga is physically based upon melody & rhythm the harmony is the harmony of our souls when spiritual music is heard, harmony with God.
