DIVINE......

True as Gopi & mythili have said, an excellent rendering by a class singer.i wonder why he is confined to Kerala only and has not representing or figuring in December carnatic seasons. He is far far better rather best than others of his ilk.

Great delivery with easy...........

Meaning: (Sri TK Govinda Rao’s book):

I meditate always on Siddhi Vinaayaka, the Lord of the group of Siddhas. He bestows special boons, the great one. He is worshipped by Siddhas, Yakshas, Kinnaras and others and is renowned all over the world, who is the centre of Mulapankaja who has sweet Modaka in his hand.

He is worshipped by Brahmanas and others during the fourth day of the bright fortnight of the month of BhadraPada (Aug-Sept). He who adorns the noose – paasa – and goad – ankusa. He is honoured with the umbrella – chatra and fly-flap – Chamara, who is devoid of anger, who is enshrined in the hearts of humble – Dasas, revered by Krishna the younger brother of Balaraama. He is devoid of desire. He is the son of the daughter of Mount Himavan – Parvati, elder brother of Cupid-like Guruguha. His lotus-like feet bestows auspiciousness. He has four lustrous hands.

one of the best keerthanas by Shri sankaran Namboodhiri... and excellent singing............

Humma, kindly correct the title to: SIDDHI Vinayakam. Thank you...

Elegant and captivating. Profoundly beautiful.

Profoundly beautiful (exquisite)...Excellence. Elegance. Enchanting.

Regarding the following posting: It is not to be mistaken, please. Influences of habits such as those mentioned below are normal and expected. However, when one listens to a wonderfully clear singing such as this one, one tends to be very pleased (gratified).

Delightful song. Cream of bhakti! So very beautifully sung. Mellifluous, mesmerizing, appealing soft voice. Mellow singing. Highly inspiring.

Excellent brief by Dr Raju below. Right on the mark! Crystal clear singing. Being a Keralite, Mr. Sankaran Namboodhiri's clarity of diction in this kriti is outstanding. Regional habits and practices impose a tremendous impact on pronunciation and singing. For instance, in Telugu, "hridayam" in Sanskrit (hrd) is "hrudayam", and similarly, "kripa" in Sanskrit is "krupa" in Telugu.

Supreme melody! Superior singing.

Ghantasala made it popular.his pitch was higher and tempo faster.namboodiri being a malayali which is very close to sanskrit made the rendering with right pronounciation and excellent tempo.very good.
