Guest guest Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 There have been some posts recently about going to and talking to the Lord. Sometimes it is the Lord who comes to us and talks to us. Make no mistake about it!!! An excerpt below from an article I just posted on the sangha blog...and includes a recent live kirtan video of the bhajan which I just uploaded to youtube. "....My husband, Narayanankutty Menon had no knowledge of classical carnatic music,no special education in malayaam, and only high school education in sanskrit. He had never written a poem till the age of 60. He never used to go for any classical concert. As everybody else from our native place he used to go to Guruvayur whenever possible. We used to hear carnatic songs while travelling in the car. He had a very good sense of thaalam [rhythm or time signature] which he found out when our daughter was learning bharatnatyam. A few days after he was 60 years old, one night, he had a dream that he was singing classical music in the kizhakke nada [Eastern entrance] of Guruvayur temple. He told me about it the next day..I told him that is just a dream because I knew he could not sing one line even in sruthi!! The next day, the dream repeated. He said that Guruvayurappan told him to write classical carnatic music about HIM in simple language so that ordinary people can understand. HE wanted these songs to be propagated among the devotees. The dream repeated a few times...." Dr. Sreedevi Menon in-his-grace In His Service, Radhe Jai Shri Krishna!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
