I listened this in the link given by K.V. Ramaprasad onFB. I did not know that is your name. Nice song.

Can we have the lyrics / raga / tala please? Meaning as well?

[rshankar]

Ramakriya - very nice. Do you compose exclusively in kannaDA, or in sankEti as well?

Thank you. Couldn't get Chandra Jyothi till I saw your post and then it clicked! Very nice.

Thanks MaheshS Glad you liked it!

rshankar - Coming to your question - So far whatever I have composed has been either in Kannada or samasamkrta, but the past need not be an indication of the future
