Guru Raghavendram – Kambhoji
One of the keerthanams that I have long forgotten is “Guru Raghavendram anisham bhaje”. I learnt this from one of my first teachers. It has all gone in the thin air by now. I do not remember how to sing the anupallavi charanam anymore.
However, I remember that I used to like this song a lot. It is also composed in a very nice raagam.

I have tried to put down the lyrics by myself from my book. In case there are any mistakes please feel free to correct me.
Pallavi:
Guru Raghavendram anisham bhaje
Karunakaram kalimalaharam
Anupallavi:
Sharanagatha vanathathparam
Paravasudeva chanaparam

Paramadhbhutha mitha sath charitham
Dhara haasa shobhitha bhavya vakthram
