Indian traditional Music

The Hymns of the ancient Veda of india, who are composed in the traditional music scale, are still not yet appreciated as they would need to.

Malola Music has set a sign for bringing the rare and precious classics of old Vedic Times to a media, that even people around the world are able to get the chance of real sound enjoyment. It will give release of stress and hectic in ones life, as these vedic sounds (either by chanting holy mantra or just the plain music) are set in such a way to uplift the spirit and the mundane mind.

The plan is to preserve rare compositions, special styles of music and their instruments und extraordinary Raaga Forms cooperated with holy prayers and secret Mantras.

We (Malola Music) also do support for protecting ancient scriptures (like palmleaves, copperplates etc..) in Melkote (south India) and help to re-develop ancient shrines and temples for pilgrims. More information on this you will find in a personal webpage www.malolapress.de If you have questions to our activities yo can contact us directly!

Sri Vidyabhusana

One of the famous classical singer of South India, who is more then 20 years in the field of music working, is presenting most of the songs written by the ancient tradition of the Haridasas (a class of Devotees of Lord Vishnu) in their local language Kannada or in the ancient script Sanskrit. Their devotion that is expressed in a vast volume of more then 50000 songs, which Sri Vidyabhusana is mostly trying to recollect and sing them for public concerts are focused in our CD/DVD Media Release. He is working to spread the classical Music outside of India also, and gives Concerts in the USA und Europe. All the Haridasa* music are lead into typical karnatic tradition from the 16th century, and set with instruments like Veena, Mrdangam and Ghatam or more modern instruments like Violn and Harmonium.

He is living with his wife and two kids in the big city Bangalore, were he is organizing every year one of the biggest classical music festival in glories for the Haridasas compositions, along with other musicians and famous singers from India. Otherwise he is very busy with his Music projects and book productions on Haridasa Culture.

Sri Sudarshana Narasimha Murthy

One of the most secret and traditionally least researched subjects is the power of magic formulas, especially the summary of some famous Vaisnava Mantras in the Tantra scriptures. We are proud to present this first and only one Mantra CD on these subject, set into soft music with Tambura and sruthibox. In the Vaisnava culture the two divine personalities who are the most important for seeking protection are Hanuman and Narasimhadeva; and the mystical power syllables connected with them are found on this CD. The recitation of such MANTRAS can purify the atmosphere and protect one from negative influences.

Thus this CD can be used for example to accompany entrance into a new home, to eliminate sleeping problems or even to neutralize black magic.

Mr. Sudarshana Murthy had a great collection on rare and secret mantras, but unfortunate he has left this world recently. This Release on Vaisnava Tantra is a very rare and precious collection on Mantras and gives a short insight of the great scriptures in musical tunes.

Sri Veenai Prof. Rangarajan

Starting only in a very young age (around 6 years old) Mr. Prof. Rangarajan has started to play the Veenai Instrument in the service of the Lord Ranganatha Temple near Trichy (south India) 60 years ago.

He learned the classical Music (Raagas) along with the ancient prayers of the tamil poets, the 12 Alwars, to set them for the temple rituals done in the holy shrine of Sri Rangam. On Vaikuntha Ekadasi (once a year in winter time) he and all his sons will play in a special style the veenais inside the holy shrine of Lord Ranganatha (in standing position and while walking backword with the face to the God).

Otherwise every day he will wake up and bring to sleep with his Veenai the temple activities and the Lord inside the sanctorum. As there are at least 4000 ancient tamil songs set into music by the holy Alwar saints, there is a huge resource of classical Music lying hidden in the holy sand of Sri Rangam.

Now his son Srinivasa has taken over the music duties inside the temple, as Mr. Prof. Rangarajan has retired from all services. Only on Festivals he might give strength and support for the future generations in the music field of Tamil Nadu.
