Slokam identification ..

Place to go if you want to ask someone identify raga, tala, composer etc or ask for sāhitya (lyrics) or notations or translations.

Slokam identification ..

Post by MaheshS »

Lec Dem by R K Sriramkumar with Vittal Ramamurthy and Arun Prakash.

What is the slokam he sings in the beginning? Where is it from?

Mahesh,
What I can parse from the singing (he sings it at the beginning of every session I think, and so does Ramakrishnan Murthy, his student :) )
sadguru-gajAsya-vanI-caraNa-yugAmbhOruhEShu
madhRdayaM satataM dwirEphalIlAM
karuNAmakarandalipsayAtanutAM


May the Sadguru, Ganesha and Saraswati ( a composite prayer this is) allow my heart to sport at the lotus feet like a bee, and give it/feed it the nectar of its grace. ( as the lotus gives nectar to the bee)


This could be a shloka composed by the Sringeri Mahawamiji.

Thank you. Will have to wait and see if any one else can confirm. Worth emailing them maybe?
