I thoroughly enjoyed listening to "Mamava sada Janani", and left some cryptic comments.
This, perhaps, is the most popular Swathi Krithi, especially outside of Keralam, po pularized outside of Keralam by the immortal Neyyattinkara Vasudevan. Moving account. Touches the heart really. Delightful, sweet voice. But voice is only one factor in the overall scheme of things. Humility, devotion and Divine love (Prema) are striking. This uplifts moods and charges our surroundings with intense devotion and tranquility. This singing, clearly distinguishes itself from “mechanical’ singing. For me, the best I ever felt out of all versions available for this Kriti in Hummaa. I am reminded of Amaran Neyyattinkara Vasudevan, word by word. His rendering is not available at Hummaa. Or it would not buffer. May Almighty bless Vasundhara Rajagopal. |
