Hallmark of a Genius

I was listening to the following rendition by Dr. Balamurali (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJPOtwCPQVE). Dr. Balamurali renders it with so much bhaava that its hard not to react.

Even an untuned mind would be forced to calm down and tune into karnatic classical.

The bhakti bhaava in this rendition is so immense that it also reminds me of another such performance. This time, its Dr. Rajkumar in the movie "RaghavendraVijaya" when he enters the Brindaavana ( the last scene in the movie). The mukha bhaava on Dr. Raj's face would kindle the light of bhakti even in the mind of an atheist!

Both Dr. Raj and Dr. Balamurali are great not because of their awards and accolades but their passion and perfection in rendering what they are best at! They are so good that their work can re-kindle a dousing fire in the hearts of the masses even long after they are gone. Such is the hallmark of a Genius !!
