Smarana Susheela August 2022

In June we had Susheel Vandan from Chinmaya Vishwa Vidyapeeth as part of the monthly series in memory of Smt Susheela Acharya. We missed out bringing you the July monthly session.
Back here in August with two songs - one by my sister, Smt Pratima Rao and one by me.
Pratima Rao sings Maneyolagado Govinda, a beautiful Kannada bhajan by Sri Purandara Dasa composed by Smt Susheela Acharya, and I sing a self-composed bhajan, accompanied by Sri Jayateerth Kulkarni (Flute), Sri Dipin Das (Tabla) and Sri Chittaranjan Rao (Percussion).

Lyrics of Kannada song:
maneyoLagADo govinda, nInu neremanegaLige hoguvudenu chanda..
