Krsnakrnaamritam
Choreography: Guru Smt. Priyadarshini Govind
Music: Dr. Rajkumar Bharathi
Performed by Sadana Rangarao
This composition blends different raagas (melodic scales) and taala (rhythm) patterns, and the poetry of the Sage Leela Shuka, to portray one’s journey in search of the mischievous, righteous, all-knowing, and loving Lord Krishna from Hindu mythology. These beings are known to show themselves in a form visible to the human experience only to few. In this piece, a yearning soul becomes the seeker and calls out to the one who is the embodiment of love and eternal ties in this world, and the one who fills our hearts with joy. Some verses sing praise to the image of the lotus-faced, whose lips produce sweet melodies with a touch from his flute, and ask, “when will I have the pleasure of experiencing you and your delightful antics?” The item is a musical composition of Dr. Rajkumar Bharathi, set to Raagamaalika and Taalamaalika, choreographed by Guru Smt. Priyadarshini Govind, and explored in detail under the guidance of Guru Smt. Priyadarshini Govind and Sri Jayachandran. Please note the item has been modified to fit this program.
