B. EkAntha VeeNA SevA at SrIrangam

***********************************

This is yet another brilliantly recorded CD ROM

that covers the Special Worship ritual introduced

by AchArya RaamAnujA at the sacred temple of Lord

RanganATA . Only uniquely trained VaiNikAs from

selected families are allowed to play for the enjoyment

of Lord RanganATA. Professor G. RangarAjan and his

sons represent today the lineage of 45 generations of

EkAnthA VeeNA kaimkaryaparALs at the Lord's sannidhi.

This group of Lord's Servants play every day during

Morning and Night as well as during special festivals

like SrI Vaikunta EkAdasi. Their repertore is wide .

The playing style is restrained and special befitting

the sacredness of the kaimakaryam at this ancient temple.

 

The contents of this audio CD ROM are:
