Lathangi, Dr BMK's [perhaps last recorded rendition] Dr. Mangalampalli Balamurali krishna ji's Last Rendering of Lathangi - 2016 What a loss!! Legacy remains., the most heard Carnatic musician remains in music lovers hearts for ever.

BMK Ji will be missed for may things, mainly for his legendary carnatic music knowledge and mastery, adapatable on and off-stage personality, his tricky and equally beautiful compositions, unrelenting sense of humour,. Your innumerable unorthodox compositions and tuning will never leave this mortal world - Mahathi, a string of Tillanas, Lavangi, Ganapathi Raga, Ashatapadees, Annamayya kritees, Ramadas Kritees - and million others! Aum Shanthi, let your soul attain Moksha BMK saar. On a slightly melancholic and different tune and note, I will never forgive those [Indian authorities, sat pretty in their undeserving poistions] who snatched His deserving Bharata R...

Swarajati is a form in Carnatic music, which is helpful in appreciating the concepts of the structure of Kritis and Keertanas and is usually taught before the varnas. Swarajati has pallavi, sometimes an anupallavi, and at least one charana. Swarajatis have both sahitya and the swaras, in contrast to Jatiswaras that have no sahitya or the song part.
