Swaami Sharanam Ayyappa
I am happy to be writing to you today .
My faith and devotion have inspired me to compose,
for the first time ever,
a devotional album
in praise of Lord Ayyappa; Manikantan Geet Mala

All the songs in this album -
are-not-composed!
When I started composing the songs-casually-
the tune and words
came out-spontaneously
without my efforts!
- So these Bhajans are very special -
To everyone!
And I believe
you will realize the truth –
and immerge with the songs.

Ilaiyaraaja
Always with God
