Tharaka Mantramu

Tharaka Mantramu is a Carnatic devotional composition performed by M. Balamuralikrishna. The track appears as the second entry on the 1977 vinyl release Sri Bhadrachala Ramadas Keerthanams. The album compiles works attributed to the 17th-century composer and saint Bhadrachala Ramadasu, known for his devotion to Lord Rama. The recording label remains undocumented in available sources.

The track runs for 3 minutes and 24 seconds. Balamuralikrishna renders the composition in a traditional Carnatic style, adhering to the lyrical and melodic conventions of Ramadasu’s keerthanas. The song’s thematic focus centers on the sacred Tharaka Mantra, a revered chant in the Rama tradition. Instrumental accompaniment details, if any, are not specified in existing records.

The 1977 vinyl format of Sri Bhadrachala Ramadas Keerthanams marked one of several collaborations between Balamuralikrishna and the broader discourse on Telugu devotional music. The album’s production context, including session musicians or recording locations, lacks comprehensive documentation. The track exemplifies the artist’s interpretive approach to classical and devotional repertoire during the late 20th century.

No commercial reissues or digital remasters of this specific vinyl release are confirmed in public archives. The original pressing remains a reference for scholars and enthusiasts of Balamuralikrishna’s discography and the Ramadasu keerthana tradition. Further details on distribution, alternate takes, or live performances of Tharaka Mantramu by the artist are not widely attested.
