Thyagaraja Aradhana

Withdrawal of one's attention from five devices of the human system, leads one to Shanthi.

And ferries listeners, to some sense of stillness - the objective of all good music.

'"No shanthi, no well being," sings Telugu composer Thyagaraja.

And has chosen the melodic scale of Saama, for his piece 'Shantamu leka Sowkhyamu ledu.'

- Shri Chandrashekarendra Saraswati, Kanchi
