A DAY SPENT WITHOUT LISTENING TO HIS MUSIC IS A DAY WASTED


My heart fills with gratitude as I pen this small note about my manasika guru the Inexplicable Genius Sangeetha Ratna Dr M Balamuralikrishna sir.
Alphabets, Kagunitas, Words, Sentences, Poems, Prose will all fail to construe his music and personality. Music cannot be explained or exclaimed; one has to really listen to Balamuralikrishna sir, to experience the experience of experience. You cannot allocate or formalize his music to any grammar or musicology, for he is an artist who can exemplify a new grammar, a new thought process, a new pattern capable of procreation of new ideas and impressions for students who want to quench their thirst with a drink called Knowledge.
As a student of music I have had the opportunity to study his compositions in cue and adore the beauty of it like a small child. I always relive the Poem we used to sing during our school days...
”Twinkle Twinkle little star 
how I wonder what you are. “
After pondering over trivial details of his compositions I have wondered not once but many hundred times “Oh music star, I really wonder what you really are??”
A day spent without listening to his music is a day wasted.
Like we all know that Krishna though was an avatar he had so many facets. Krishna born to Vasudeva Devaki, Krishna who would steal butter, Krishna who would loiter with gopika’s, Krishna who could destroy Khamsa and Pootani, The conversation between the Black and White ( Bhagavatgeetha) .Here is the same with Balamuralikrishna. There is a Singer Balamuralikrishna, Composer Balamuralikrishna, Music Director Balamuralikrishna, Actor Balamuralikrishna, Instrumentalist Balamuralikrishna and the child like Balamuralikrishna.
Balamuralikrishna sir is an asset to the country and to Bharatiya Sangeetha for his exceedingly luminous contribution to the Gnana Sattra.
“ Nee Paatalu naa Jeevamu Sudha madhuramu ”

Kindly join hands in extending the birthday greetings to the giant.
