Kandena govindana

Kandena Govindana!!!!……

A song that I came across by chance…. I was browsing for some ragas and came across this song on one of the websites and listened to it. Was good. I kind of also guessed the ragam to be hindolam…which it wasn’t….but it was chandrakauns.
Somehow I liked the song and decided to learn it…

Chandrakauns raagam….keeravani janya (21 melakartha)
A ragam that is very closely resembling hindolam…I have written a complete post (http://blogs.prashu.com/musictheory/2008/10/chandrakauns-vs-hindolam.php) on this and so don’t want to repeat stuff here

Talam is aadhi and it is a composition of Purandara dasa in the kannada language.

The song basically is where the composer says that he saw the lord….he names the lord in various ways and emphasizes that he had a vision of the lord.

The lyrics of the song are from http://www.musicindiaonline.com/lr/1/1951/
You could also listen to this song by Bombay Jayshree on musicindiaonline.com.
