Although she sang many classical &
devotional songs , her Bhajans are
very popular in North India . [ for
eg. vaishnav Janatoa , Maiyya mori
main nahin maakhan khaayo ... ]
Almost All south Indian classical /
devotional music lovers regularly
listen to her devotional songs on
Lord Venkateshwara , Bhaja Govindam
& Vishnu Sahasra Naamam ...

M.S.Subbhulakshmi is considered as the
Queen of Indian (Classical) Music .
------------------------------------------
The occasion was the filming of Meera,
produced by Sadasivam with M.S.Subbulakshmi
in the lead. Jawaharlal Nehru's tribute
to her, "Who am I, a mere Prime Minister,
before the queen of song?" has been
publicised widely as has been Mahatma
Gandhi's request, shortly before he
was gunned down by a Hindu fanatic on
January 30, 1948. A message had been
sent to Madras that Gandhiji wished
M.S. to render his favourite bhajan,
"Hari tum haro", and a response had
gone from husband Sadasivam to the
effect that since she did not know how
to sing this particular bhajan, somebody
else could sing "Hari tum haro", and she
could sing another bhajan. A reply had
promptly come back on behalf of the
Mahatma: "I should prefer to hear it
spoken by Subbulakshmi than sung by
others."
