I have written earlier that most of the janya rAgams of MAyAmALavagowLa do not deviate from the janaka rAgam.

Almost all the gamakams are same. There is difference in the ArOhaNam and avarOhaNam of Gowri and GowLa which

are janya rAgams of MMG.

Gowri:

ArO..: S R1 M1 P N3 S
avrO: S N3 D1 P M1 G3 R1 S


GowLa:

ArO..: S R1 M1 P N3 S
avrO: S N3 P M1 R1 G3 M1 R1 S
 
Here is an article worth reading
http://www.nytimes.com/2013/06/09/opinion/sunday/why-music-makes-our-brain-sing.html

Salient points:
MUSIC is not tangible. You can’t eat it, drink it or mate with it. It doesn’t protect against the rain, wind or cold. It doesn’t vanquish predators or mend broken bones. The quick and easy explanation is that music brings a unique pleasure to humans. Of course, that still leaves the question of why. But for that, neuroscience is starting to provide some answers.

A few days ago I was looking at the meaning of kaivalya (My sister and I were discussing )

Sanskrit Dictionary for Spoken Sanskrit

In monier Monier Williams Online Dictionary with kaivalya (in ITRANS)

In Apte http://www.aa.tufs.ac.jp/~tjun/sktdic/cgi-bin/dic-srch.cgi with kaivalya

Kaivalya occurs in Lalitha Sahasranama too (verse 125 and verse 171). Then I started looking in Sri Muthuswamy Dikshitar's kritis - There were quite a few kritis mentioning about kaivalya (by no means my list is exhaustive)
Here is an article about Sri Dikshitar Sri Muthuswami Dikshitar and Sri Vidya (1 of 7) | Sulekha Creative

Relevant portion from the above link:

"Muthuswami Dikshitar had been yearning for Videha Mukthi. He beseeches the Divine Mother repeatedly and addresses her as one who grants Videha mukthi (Mamaka videha mukthi sadanam- Ranganayakam-Nayaki); the bestower of videha mukthi (vikalebara kaivalya danaya-Guruguhaya-Sama); and at times he feels he is nearing videha mukthi (Videha kaivalyam yami-Tyagaraje-Saranga).Videha mukthi is a concept of the later Advaita schools. It believes, one can attain liberation (moksha) from attachments while still encased in a body. Such an attained one is Jivan Muktha. The body continues to function till its Prarabdha Karma is exhausted; thereafter the mortal coils fall away. Videha mukthi is shedding off the body by a Jivan muktha, the one who has already attained liberation.

I wanted to share what I found (I welcome corrections/additions)
