Is listening to Ilayaraja's music, gives mental peace or not?

yes i do. in the case of Ilayaraja sir's music, i feel like im in peaceful state of mind. we never compare his music with others. there are some marks for certain musicians, say, gana padalgal ---- Deva, western-mixed ---- AR Rehman, Melody and all time favourite ---- Ilayaraja. seasonal songs --- bharathwaj and Vidyasagar. now, more musicians were emerging.

i too feel the same.ilayarajas way of composing is meditative,gives peaceful mentality.his composing based on ragas is mind blowing.without too much of noise,he use to give pleasant music.

i love music........and i enjoy it......but ilayarajas music is different......he has given very good music and still giving.nice man.

his songs are really magical and so pleasent to hesr .... i like them very much

Well I myself is a great fan of Ilayaraja, I love his evergreen melodies. He is really a Mastero in Music. Really his songs with classical touch are very embrassing and make us to feel light, and forget the surroundings. I love to hear his songs in Mohan films in the Night. It reduces the mental tension and give great relief to mind and refreshes me. Even his Instrumental Albums like HOW TO NAME IT & NOTHING BUT WIND all are fabulous. And How to Name it musical bits are used in the film Veedu by Balu Mahendra. He himself had discovered a new raga in the carnatic music, I dont know the name but he often use that raga in his films. I pray for his long life and I want his comeback in the musical world.

ya i too........ I think there is magic in his music.

Oh yeah, it gives a lot of mental peace, he has given some very good soothing numbers to the people of India. His contribution to the Indian cinema history is unforgettable and unmatched. I read somewhere that he has created world record by giving music to the most number of films, wonderful! Even his sons are doing quite well, but they can never match their father, he is a legend.

ilayas music is a great one. really i feel mental peace and i agree with you. but i feel alot on ilayaraja that still he didnt get good international fame though his student a.r. rehman got the good international fame
