truth beyond gunas(?), beyond all things finite, oh infinite, blissful, wondrous, ever the same lingA

caraNam 2: This is just the rhythm of the dance of creation and destruction

Thank you for sharing this srinidhi
I very much like Carnatic and Raag. I hope to learn more one day of their history and composure, Shiva willing :)
