Tamil, a language of Southern India, is said to be even older than Sanskrit. The song Mahishasura Mardini describes the destruction of demons by the benevolent feminine power of God.
From the 1996 album Gyana Nirmalame. Composed by Mr. Murthy of Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India. Permission: Shankar Ramani.
Shankar Ramani’s singing displays extraordinary technical skills, range and emotional content – it comes from from the heart. Ai Giri Nandini is a poem, written in Sanskrit by Adi Shankara, and is one of the greatest works ever addressed to the supreme feminine power. We cannot know what kind of music was played in Dagad Trikon ten thousand years ago, but there can be no doubt that they praised the High Lady of the Rock, who lived there among them.
