Samana rahitam is one of two extremely powerful pieces that Ravikiran has exclusively dedicated to factually but artistically illustrate why Sanatana Dharma as a way of life is matchless in the world. The song’s unique opening with Swaraksharas on the first two syllables of the first word “samana” as well as its 4 short charanams in double speed (Madhyama Kalam) lend it extra distinctiveness
