March 01_GS

I wish you all a very happy month of March, with Spring Equinox coming sooner, bringing new beginnings.

One of the memories of pleasant mornings for me is spending time watching the golden sunrise from the terrace, breathing in the fresh cold air, listening to the beautiful voice of M.S. amma in the Walkman, getting lost trying to understand the philosophical, meaningful verses of the songs. One such favorite song is 'nanati baduku naatakamu'

Shakespeare wrote 'All the world's a stage' but before his time, the 15th century saint Annamacharya wrote the same thing in this Telugu song. He also adds the devotion to Lord as a way of liberation, to escape the drama of Life. This song is set in tunes of Raaga Revathi, though not a raaga of joy, it has it's own soothing characteristic that calms the mind.

Hope you like listening to it.
