Real Bharat: 9 year old boy storms the internet with soulful rendition of devotional songs

MahaKrishnan

A video of a small boy singing devotional hymns on a train has stormed the internet. The boy held his audience in rapt attention and the entranced audience sang along with him creating a divine atmosphere. The boy and others were traveling from Tamil Nadu to Varanasi to take part in the Kashi Tamil Sangamam organised by the central government.

Videos of a small boy singing Hindu devotional songs and hymns in a train compartment went viral on social media recently. Sooryanarayanan, the 9 year old Carnatic musician, had enthralled the passengers of the train with his heart-rending music. The boy and other passengers were on their way to Varanasi from TN to participate in the Kashi Tamil Sangamam event organised by the centre.

It appears that instead of chatting away during their journey the passengers were treated to Sooryanarayanan’s songs. He sang some popular devotional songs and hymns written by Shaivite saints. He also entertained TN BJP chief K Annamalai with a hymn written by one of the 64 Nayanmars, Nandanar.

This is not the first time Sooryanarayanan is finding himself in the limelight. His prowess in traditional music at such a young age, and his soul soothing voice make him the centre of attention wherever he goes. Earlier Tamil MSM made another of his videos, where he sang at a temple, viral and took his voice to every household.

Sooryanarayanan is being mentored by Kuldeep M Pai, a Carnatic musician, who has been identifying talents in the field and producing excellent renditions of devotional music in Bharatiya languages under a campaign named Vande Guru Paramparaam.
