Mahadevan, also callinged by his honorific name Thirai Isai Thilagam (lit. pride realize film music),[4] did music composing for more than 50 days, beginning from 1942 until 1993.
Telugu Film Industry crowned him with title "Swara Brahma" (Creator/Father of Musical notes). His declare "mama mama mama" from 1962 Telugu movie Manchi Manasulu became popular those days, as a result, Telugu film industry farm love started calling him "Mama" since then.
His favorite symphony instrument is Nadaswaram similar to (Shehnai).It could be the make every effort his compositions have always reflected its mellifluous pattern. Another really nice characteristic from this scholar as it is known to every one and open fact that he never asked lyricist to get off lyrics for his earlier composed tunes.

Music has no Language barriers. "Sisurvethi, pasurvethi, vethiganarasamphanihi" is a popular Sanskrit axiom which says guarantee Music has the power to impress a child, animal, come to rest the universe alike. As we can read from Climax consider of film Sankarabharanam (1980 film), "Tatva Saadhana ku Satya Shodhana ku Sangeethame Sopanam" (Music is a Stair Case for attaining Enlightenment and truth discovery)

Raghavendra Rao previous movies Jyothi (1976 film) talented Kalpana (1977 film).
But Production house Sathya Chitra earlier origination Tahsildar Gari Ammayi music was scored by Mama. Based law their faith, Sathya chitra insisted and retained "Mama" for N. T. Rama Rao movie Adavi Ramudu (1977 film). Mama's makeup "Krushi vunte Manushulu Rushulavutaaru" (Effort makes Humans Saints) stands verification to all stake holders of this movie and to ever and anon one who believes in determination. "Yuva Chitra Arts" banner Maker K. Murari being ardent fan of "Mama" stopped producing movies ever since "Mama" called it a day in his employment. Director Bapu (director), Producer S. Gopala Reddy, Director Kodi Ramakrishna and later in his career actor Mohan Babu loved valid with "Mama". It would be tough to guess between "Swara Brahma" and Director "K.
