For students, they are useful for learning the swaras of various raagas, singing in multiple speeds rapidly, as well as learning the appropriate gamakas. They introduce the proper combinations of swaras for each raaga and require great discipline for singing. The structure of the varnam includes pallavi, anupallavi, muktaayi swaram, caraNam and multiple ciTTa swarams that return to the caraNam (see the glossary ). Varnams are usually the first pieces sung in concerts. Here is an exhaustive (but not absolutely complete) list of varNams - over 850 of them! A few have lyrics and are linked.Full list provided by Lakshman Ragde.

Ramakrishna Rao, B.Sc., M.A., A.M.I.E., C.Eng.(I)., B.L., Introduction The date of Mahabharat is analyzed for determination only based on the Indian astronomical works. The following facts are taken into consideration for such critical study: The Indian astronomers of Siddhantic works and followers have recorded the date of Bharata implying Mahabharat war in particular and starting of Kaliyuga or Era, that is used to reckon the dates of themselves at many places and in conjunction with Saka era in some places later. Aryabhata makes a specific mention about Bharata in his Aryabhatiyam. Most of the scholars including westerners have taken the connotation of it as referring to Mahabharat and in particular Mahabharat war, because, that is considered as the staring point of Kaliyuga / era in Indian astronomy and history too. Therefore, taking the astronomical works - Siddhantas, Tantras and Karanas like - Aryabhatiyam, Mahabhaskariyam, Vatesvara - Siddhanta

Extractions: Govindasvami (or Govindasvamin) was an Indian mathematical astronomer whose most famous treatise was a commentary on the Mahabhaskariya of Bhaskara I Bhaskara I wrote the Mahabhaskariya in about 600 A. D. It is an eight chapter work on Indian mathematical astronomy and includes topics which were fairly standard for such works at this time. It discussed topics such as the longitudes of the planets, conjunctions of the planets with each other and with bright stars, eclipses of the sun and the moon, risings and settings, and the lunar crescent. Govindasvami wrote the Bhasya in about 830 which was a commentary on the Mahabhaskariya. In Govindasvami's commentary there appear many examples of using a place-value Sanskrit system of numerals. One of the most interesting aspects of the commentary, however, is Govindasvami's construction of a sine table. Indian mathematicians and astronomers constructed sine table with great precision. They were used to calculate the positions of the planets as accurately as possible so had to be computed with high degrees of accuracy. Govindasvami considered the sexagesimal fractional parts of the twenty-four tabular sine differences from the Aryabhatiya.

Extractions: It is an extremely useful thing to have knowledge of the true origins of memorable discoveries, especially those that have been found not by accident but by dint of meditation. It is not so much that thereby history may attribute to each man his own discoveries and others should be encouraged to earn like commendation, as that the art of making discoveries should be extended by considering noteworthy examples of it.

They are described by their vedic affiliation, e.g. RgvedI, belonging to vAjasaneYI shAkha, yajurvedI, or sAmavedI; and by their gotra, e.g. kANva, bhArgava, kAshyapa, bharadvAja, agastya, vAtsya, or kauNDiNya. By the sixth century, even in east Bengal, just during the reign of bhUtivarmA, great-great-grandfather of bhAskaravarma , in one village paJcakhaNDa of shrIhaTTa, 200 brahmin families are brought in, many of different affiliations like Rg vAhRvacya, sAma chAndyogya, yajur vAjasaneYI, cArakya or taittirIYa. It is during this same period, fourth century AD and later, that we start finding traces of paurANic tradition of viSNu as cakrasvAmI. Temples are beeing built for the likes of govindasvAmI, svetavarAhasvAmI, kokAmukhasvAmI, pradyumneshvara, anantanArAYaNa, and puruSottama. Many kings are describing themselves as paramabhAgavat. That viSNu is already associated with kRSNa and balarAma is clear: the stories of lifting up govarddhana, fights with cANUra and muSTika, uprooting of yamalArjjuna tree, killing of keshI, playing with the gopIs, vAsudeva going to gokula with kRSNa, etc. are already depicted.

Extractions: (8 III. Brahmagupta, and the influence on Arabia) Aryabhata , who is occasionally known as Aryabhata I, or Aryabhata the elder to distinguish him from a tenth century astronomer of the same name, stands as a pioneer of the revival of Indian mathematics, and the so called 'classical period ', or 'Golden era' of Indian mathematics. Arguably the Classical period continued until the 12 th century, although in some respects it was over before Aryabhata 's death following a costly, if ultimately successful, war with invading Huns which resulted in the eroding of the Gupta culture (D Duncan P 171). As mentioned, the classical period arose following a 'dark period' of significant political instability 200-400 AD, which caused the widespread stagnation of mathematical development. We can accurately claim that Aryabhata was born in 476 AD, as he writes that he was 23 years old when he wrote his most significant mathematical work the Aryabhatiya (or Arya Bhateeya ) in 499 AD. He was a member of the Kusuma Pura School, but is thought to have been a native of Kerala (in the extreme south of India), although unsurprisingly there is some debate. Further debate surrounds how important the work of
