I concur.

Welcome, Preethika!
Was a nice listen.
I have heard this long back in traditional bhajans and there was a musician long back in Mysore called Vid. Devendrappa who used to sing this and many other Hanuman songs.

There is a fine Music Today CD on Hanuman - with beautiful bhajans by Rajan Sajan Mishra. You can listen on raaga.com

[preethika.kannan]

I will definitely listen to it, thank you very much. I live and work in Holland. As a passion, I teach bhajans and slokas to Indian children here. I thought this is a very nice bhajan to teach.

It would be most wonderful if I can have your support, once in a while, in identifying the ragas of some bhajans.

Warm Regards,
Preethika

Sure, you have ordinary guys like me, experts and super experts, all in one place here.

[VK RAMAN]

Preethika.kannan: Please do post some of the bhajans and slokas audio for our listening too.

I would also like to mention the fact that I donot do this for monetary gains. I am a strategic marketing consultant working for an MNC. Doing namasankeertanams and teaching children is a passion and also a dedication to my grandparents Jayalakhsmi and Venkataraman.

Warm regards,

Preethika.kannan,

Welcome to Rasikas.org!

Yes, our dear V.K.Raman is the one you have in mind. You will find a lot of his songs in the Bhakthi Section. Since you are new here and the threads we have are far too many, I'm guiding you there. Another Section which will be of interest to you is the ever-active one: the Sahitya thread. Those two alone are bound to keep you busy! Then of course, there are hundreds of threads to learn from in other sections of this forum too

[preethika.kannan]

Thank you so much for the guidance will start delving into it soon

[VK RAMAN]

preethika.kannan: You are right and I am blessed to hear, you do listen to my youtube uploads. Bless you and continue your service to the community. In our small temple in Reno NV I also guide children with slokas and bhajans weekly and some blessed ones come on skype from other parts of the world, of course service to the world of devotional minded people.

[arasi]

VKR,
What a blessing! You teach children music every week at your local temple!

As for vIra mAruthi, I've also heard Bhimsen Joshi sing it in sindhubhairavi.

I have heard this long back in traditional bhajans and there was a musician long back in Mysore called Vid. Devendrappa who used to sing this and many other Hanuman songs.

Sachi avare,
I have wished for a long time that there is a recording out there of Sri Devendrappa that we would get to hear.
I was a kid (around 4 or 5 years of age) when I met him in Mysore with my Father.
