Vande Mataram | Subramania Bharati | Girijashankar | Ravi G | Rajya Rajan

75 years ago, we as a nation fought against the British to rid us of their rule with the help of coveted freedom fighters leading us all. Today, however, humanity as a whole is fighting against another invasion and many selfless warriors are fighting in the front lines in a rather different battle field. This music video is a dedication to our country's remarkable feat in achieving the unimaginable despite all odds in fighting the pandemic. I also dedicate this masterpiece of a poem by the great Maha Kavi to the health care workers and the doctors of our country, who are helping us day and night, working insane hours to keep us safe. Together, let us celebrate this Independence Day in anticipation for a speedy recovery of our nation and the world. #girijashankar #vandemaataram #independenceday #august15th #artist #lifeofamusician #tamil #bharathiyar #chennai #musically #ravig #ishitkuberkar #patriotic #India #tamilsongs #incredibleindia #National #freedom #covid19 #pandemic 00:00 Vande Mataram CREDITS Vocal - Girijashankar Sundaresan (https://linktr.ee/girijashankarsundaresan) Music production and vocal harmonies - Ravi G (https://www.instagram.com/ravig_singer/) Video and Conceptualisation - Rajya Rajan (https://www.instagram.com/rajyar/) Mixing and mastering - Ishit Kuberkar (https://www.instagram.com/ishitk86/) LYRICS வந்தே மாதரம் Vande Mataram ஆரிய பூமியில் Aariya Bhoomiyil நாரியரும் நர Naariyarum Nara சூரியரும் சொலும் Sooriyarum Sollum வீரிய வாசகம் (வந்தே மாதரம்) Veeriya Vaachagam (Vande Mataram) நொந்தே போயினும் Nonde Poyinum வெந்தேம் ஆயினும் Vendemaayinum நந்தேசத்தர் Namdesattar உவந்தே சொல்வது (வந்தே மாதரம்) Uvande Solvadhu (Vande Mataram) ஒன்றாய் நின்றினி Ondraai Nindrini வென்றாயினும் உயிர் Vendraayinum Uyir சென்றாயினும் வலி Sendraayinum Vali குன்றாதோதுவம் (வந்தே மாதரம்) Kundraadhodhuvom (Vande Mataram)

If you are a musician and want to be considered for featuring in our channel click the link below https://forms.gle/YTbcGy5XzGwp88w3A Our Indian cultural heritage is so vast in its literature, poetry, music and dance. At its core, love is the desire to connect with another human being on a deep and meaningful level, and it can take many different forms, such as affection, devotion, respect, or surrender. Despite various emotions associated with love, many believe that true love transcends all of these emotions and is beyond any form of attachment or expectation.Though many greats in various fields have created magnificent bodies of work taking different routes to proclaim their devotion towards the Lord, our Carnatic Music has had no dearth of poets, saints and composers that have created compositions with complex emotions within the folds of Love (broadly Vatsalyam, Shringaram and Viraham).
