It is only that he was born a Hindu and later converted to Islam.<BR/>A lot has been talked about Rahman's conversion to Islam. In fact the quiet music composer even received a lot of flak for the same. It was in the year 1989 that Dileep Kumar and his family converted into Islam. In 1988, one of his sisters fell seriously ill and in spite of the family's effort to cure her, her health deteriorated by the day. They happened to meet a Muslim Pir - Sheik Abdul Qadir Jeelani or Pir Qadri. His prayers and blessings did wonders to his sister who made a miraculous comeback to life. Thus began the journey of A.S.Dileep Kumar to A.R. Rahman.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11795715.post-1147544089322913452006-05-13T11:14:00.000-07:002006-05-13T11:14:00.000-07:00hey! thnx for the info.call it ignorance or greatn...hey! thnx for the info.<BR/>call it ignorance or greatness,i always keep/kept musicans away from religion.<BR/>the same incident of u'rs happened with me...but with A.R.Rehman. it was difficult for me to digest that he is of a "different religion".<BR/>indeed-MUSIC HAS NO RELIGION.Kedar Koushikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06728760201515418249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11795715.post-1147492336655284452006-05-12T20:52:00.000-07:002006-05-12T20:52:00.000-07:00Ranjit: Right!

As Anon has mentioned somewhere here, Yesudas (also spelled as Jesudas sometimes) dominated the Malayalam music industry like nobody had ever before (even Lata did not have such a profound effect on Hindi music, I think), and as a result he has sung a huge volume of bhajans and religious songs (on Krishna, Ayyappa and almost any other god you can think of). Any temple in the state would have the glorious voice of Yesudas blaring through their bell-shaped speakers (illegal, btw!).<BR/> <BR/>Yet, there are many temples (<I>Guruvayoor</I> being the most famous, perhaps) who refuse entry to Yesudas, because he is 'Christian'.

Simple. I am not talking about understanding music deeply. YOu really need not understand, you can just just enjoy listening. <BR/>All of us have been tagged with a religion whether we like it or not. This tag is mising in music. That is the message of this post! :)Shruthihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00635222842257175541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11795715.post-1147263760491249262006-05-10T05:22:00.000-07:002006-05-10T05:22:00.000-07:00Music achieves religion.

Neither do we understand music. Without knowing, being any of these we say Music has no Religion and call that profundity. What a pity.

The interviewer asked him 'Sir, you speak Telugu as good as you speak Kannada. You speak Tamil as good as Malayalam. You manage to speak Hindi too. We are confused as to which is your mother tongue!!' For which the legend answered "My Mother tongue is music." !! What a great answer. <BR/><BR/>True.
