The inner spiritual journey that a musician undertakes enables one to express in a flow that is both aesthetically pleasing and artistically refined.
Profound, sophisticated, and abstract forms begin to weave meaning, context, or an idea—unfolding into simplicity with an elegance that touches the inner being. This experience is felt, understood, cherished, and celebrated by all.
One small example of this is “En Ullamey”, a musical poem penned (in Tamil) and composed by violin maestro Fiddling Monk in the Ragam Vasantha set to Adi Talam.
***LYRICS***

En Ullamey En selvamey

***TRANSLATION - Essence***
Pallavi:
Oh, my dear self! Oh, my treasure!
You guide me along the silent path within,
Leading me into merging with you, day after day.
1st Para:
That radiant light, which dispels the grasp of darkness—within and beyond,
You make me realize as a part of that profound essence, every day.
Oh, my dear self! Oh, my treasure!
2nd Para:
In the silence of words,
In the stillness of vision,
In the hush of listening,
You stand as a silent being…
Intertwined with one another, Flowing as the sound of music,
You stand steadfast in boundless bliss, and each day, You embrace me into its infinite wholeness.
Oh, my dear self! Oh, my treasure!

Q: Nalinakanthi – Such a beautiful raga! But how do I learn it?
A: To truly feel Nalinakanthi, you need Gamakas—but first, mastering Shuddha Swaras (pure notes) is key!
Q: But with just Shuddha Swaras, I can only play exercises… That feels a bit boring. I want something more engaging—maybe a composition!
A: Exactly! At Bowing with Fiddling Monk, Violin Maestro Kumaresh Sir has designed engaging exercises that make practicing Shuddha Swaras more interesting. Plus, there are original, charming compositions that add a fun, musical touch to your learning. And as you progress, advanced lessons take you deeper!
Turn your practice into a joyous Sadhana—immerse yourself in the beauty of Indian violin. Join Bowing with Fiddling Monk today! LINK IN THE BIO
