vEdAnta dEsikam vEnkaTanAtam (AbhEri) by SrImati maNi pErundEvI kRSNasvAmI

 

 

Dear SaDagOpam mAmA,

 

aDiyEn dAsan.

 

One of our friends at Sangeethapriya, Sri Manjunath has uploaded a concert of vaikuNTavAsi vidUSI SrImati maNi pErundEvI kRSNasvAmI from 1981-82. In this concert, there is this beautiful song, a tribute to our beloved achAryan, svAmi nigamAnta mahAdEsikan. SrImati maNi kRSNasvAmI hits the right right note when she sings the SrImAn vEnkaTanAtArya taniyan as SlOkam (viruttam) aDiyEn cannot express anything more in an email. The tribute becomes even more over whelming by the selection of AbhEri (karNaTaka dEvagAndAri/bhImplas). aDiyEn was not sure if mAmA has this song. aDiyEn wanted to share it with you.

Here are the beautiful lyrics of the song. The vAggEyakkArar is listed as one SrI S AravAmudAchariAr. aDiyEn is not sure if it kalyANapuram AravAmudAchariAr mAmA.
