Geetham Madhuram - A Tribute to MS Subbulakshmi

IndianRaga Singapore is delighted to partner with Apsaras Arts Dance Company to present this dance tribute to the legend M S Subbulakshmi on her birth anniversary (September 16). 

"Geetham Madhuram” is a dance presentation that brings to life 2 musical masterpieces popularised by MS Subbulakshmi - Madhurashtakam and Kurai Onrum Illai. Madhurashtakam expresses the qualities and deeds of Lord Krishna which have been described to be as sweet as nectar. The dancers as Gopis dazzle with their interpretations of Lord Krishna and bring out the experience of Madhura Bhakti (the Divine Love). 

From 12:35 onwards, the Gopis dance to the beautiful Kurai Onrum Illai melody blending into the Madhurashtakam piece. As beautifully depicted by the dancers, this segment highlights how in the divine grace of the Lord and his benevolence, there is nothing more to ask for! 

Immerse completely in the devotion depicted by the Gopis who also represents the relentless pursuit of the Atman to be one with the Paramaatman.
