The Nightingale

It is a Great Loss to the music faternity. We have lost the the Queen among the carnatic singers.

MS has passed away. MS merges into the Music of Eternity - Quotes the Deccan Herald.

Though she is gone; her music will still be heard in every nook and corner of India.

I listen to her rendering of Vishnu Shasranamam weekly once atleast.

Let her soul to rest in peace.

Punarapi Jananam Punarapi Maranam
Punarapi Janani Jathare Sayanam
Iha Samsare Bahu Dustare
Kripayapare Pahi Murare.

From birth to birth
From death to death
From womb to womb
Tarrying a while
Such is the sojourn
Of this transient life,
Oh destroyer of the demon Mura,
Be my boatman
On this turbulent ocean
By your bounteous grace.
