Today evening is most pleasant for me
Memorable throughout my life
I listened to the Divine Music
From the violins of Lalgudi Brother and Sister
And absorbed in that Divine Melody
Sri Krishnan and Ms. Vijayalikshmi
The famous off-spring of Lalgudi G Jayaraman
Enthralled us in the Kamban Kalaiyarangam
In Pondicherry in the august presence of
The maestro himself and his beloved better-half
And Sri aurobindo and Mother present on the stage
The jasmine garlands adorning their photos
Their violin duet concert
Immersed me in their melodious music
Ably supported by efficient artistes
On mrudangam and ghatam
The rhythm kept time
The playing passed time
The melody stalled time
The pleasure of listening enchanted time
Time keeping, passage of time
Stalled time and enchanting time
Filled the heart with pleasant tunes
And made us time-transcendent
The Lalgudi siblings themselves are
Manifestation of Divine Tunes
Incarnations of Goddess Saraswathi
Personification of Lordly Art of Music
Mohana, Shanmukhapriya, Madhyamaavathi,
Sri Lalgudi Jayaraman, Tyagaraja, Papnasam Sivam,
Subrahmanya Bharathi shined
In their renderings of respective creations
A treat to ears
A feast to aesthetic heart
A harmonious recipe for mind and taste
Melodious sounds embedded in Silence
Produced tunes of Divinity
Listened to Divine Music
Experienced in full Lord's Grace
Waves of thoughts and feelings
Ripples of sense, mood, me, mine, I, you, he, she, it;
Submerged in the wave-less ocean
Of music, full of serenity and depth
'I am' no where to be found
Only melody filled my heart
And became one with
Peace, bliss and silence
Full of Divine Consciousness
'I' is only Being-Pure consciousness-Bliss
The Brahman - the Sat-Chit-Aananda
Ramabrahmam and Aatmaaraamam
The divine Melody
