Fellow Members,

 

I recently heard M.S. Subbulakshmi's moving rendition of

something I think is called 'govindaashtakam'. It begins

with the words 'satyam jnAnam anantam nityam'. Can someone

tell me who is the author of this stotra? Is it attributed

to Adi Sankaracharya?

I have heard this several years ago and it is my favorite. His words are

amazing though bordering in advaita. I like this song a lot.

it is supposed to be sankaracharya though many folks dont know in detail

Yes. It is an amazing rendering and one will be really immeresed with devotion.

For people who want to listen to this, please go to the following site

 

http://www.musicindiaonline.com

 

-Click on Devotional under Light Music on the left navbar

-then Click Sanskrit among the list of options

-then click Stothrams there.

 

There are a couple more soul stirring music in the same section namely Gita

Govindam and Nama Ramayanam (both by the ever great MS).....please enjoy

listening them....

 

If someone can let me know if there is a CD or cassette available of the same,

it would be of great help.

-SRIMATHE RAMANUJAYA NAAMHA.

Dear Sri Mani,

Yes,

This is by Adhi Shankara.

One special feature of this composition is that this can be sung in

one breath without any gap. The words are flowing out in such

lucidity that the angas of braething like poorakam, kumbakam adn

rEsakam are being taken care of while one sings / recites this

composition. Even a person suffering at the moment from breathing

problems like asthma/ wheezing can sing this without difficulty.You

can notice the non-stop flow in M.s' rendition.

The meaning, the vibration etc have made this composition an immortal

one!!
