is there any dance version (audio) of the bhavayami raghuramam available... (online or anywhere..) ? I really want to learn this dance, if i can get an audio, it will be of great help.

yes! There is one by Radha Badri on the vocals. Pandanallur.S. Pandian does the Nattuvangam
It is an audio cassette from Kalavardhani's Noopura Nadam(Vol 3)
This cassette lists a contatct id :- [email protected]
Revathi enterprises- Chennai 16 (Ph: +91-44-24753499)

But this cassette is pretty old, So I just hope you can still find it

Hello Krishnaa,

I did come across two 2 versions, one by Swathy Tirunal Maharaja, and the other by K S Chitra. The links are below.

Swathy Tirunal Maharaja - http://www.esnips.com/doc/649b1d4a-16d8 ... nthakumari

K S Chitra -

Hope they will suffice.

Krishnaa,

You should SEE this version of bhAvayAmi raghurAman, beautifully choreographed and executed as a varNam - very imaginative jatis, picturesque sancArIs (with an uncommon eye for small details), and a sort of rare communication that comes across even in the videos, and energy levels that did not sag from the first trikAla jati to the last ciTTasvaram. If I had to crtique, I would have to say that the arudis (?) were a bit strange, and an araimaNDi that was a tad deeper would have made it perfect!

Here is the link to the start with a slOkam in praise of vAlmIki maharishi (kUjantam rAma rAmEti) - you can follow the links that appear on the side for parts 1 to 7: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3qQgvxF9 ... re=channel

Wow! Excellent. Thanks Ravi. A lot of things are doing on, this is to be watched multiple times or savored in small doses over a period of time.

krishnaa.. raaga does that on my computer as well. Try giving the link in your real player itself. That works for me.

and indeed, that's a great choreography by Shankar Kandasamy and pretty well executed as well.

Ravi,
that was a BEAUTIFUL dance indeed!!! it was soooooooo exact... i felt that iit would be soooo nice if dancers could keep up the tradition of nATya SAstra like that...... it would be just amazing... i just liked the way his dance represented the SAstra exactly... thanks...!!!

Ganesh,,
please just help me further, how should i put the link in my real player...??

krishnaa.. sorry. You launch real player (I have version 10.5). In that, there are several tabs. One of the tabs is web and you can enter the url there directly. It works most of the times for me.

thanks !
