Pallavi
Oh mind sing and sing about Raghavendra,
The teacher Raghavendra
The sage Raghavendra
Anupallavi
The one who lives in the holy place on the shores of Thunga,
In the Manthralaya temple and in the Brindavanam.
Charanam
He who loves poor people and is full of essence of music,
He who is the incarnation of Prahlada and has a divine form,
He who is well known as the one with goodness,
And the earth from which is the divine medicine.
Translations to English of the lyrics of Krithis of Carnatic music , which are tomes of devotion.
Sir, I'm a big fan of your collection and most importantly lyrics and it's translation. It gives me so much confidence to recite after knowing it's meaning and correctness of what I'm saying. Thanks a ton sir from the bottom of my heart. Please accept my namaste and bless me on this auspicious Guru Poornima (which is on Tuesday) in advance.
