We are delighted to share a rarely rendered kriti on Krishna, composed by Dr. M Balamuralikrishna.

This Tamil composition is in Shuddha-dhanyāsi and audio is restored from an old radio recording of late 1960s.

The presentation includes, a brief rāgālāpana, kriti rendition and a beautiful svara-vinyāsam in fast tempo.

Dr. M Balamuralikrishna is accompanied on the violin by Sri. T Keshavulu and on the mridangam by Sri. Tanjore Upendran.

Here is an English transliteration and a brief summary of the kriti.

“ The heart is filled with sweetness on uttering the mere name Kannan.
His complexion binds the whole world eternally.
All the sorrows dwindle on seeing his toddling walk.
My joy overflows on hearing the melody of his flute.”

Acknowledgement: my sincere thanks and appreciation to Smt. Rajivi Swaminathan for her support in this project.
