Guruvayoor Ekadasi Thozhuvan | Anoop Sankar | Roopa Revathi | Ramu Raj | Vanamala | K J Yesudas | 4K

Celebrating the Auspicious Month of Vyshakha and "Akshaya Tritiya" here's our humble interpretation of the soulful Devotional track from the Malayalam devotional album "Vanamala" composed by Sri P K Keshavan Namboothiri, written by My Guru the legendary poet Sri S. Ramesan Nair and sung by the Ethereal singer PadmaVibhushan Dr K J Yesudas.

This is an offering from my dear friend Dileep K Unny who wanted to dedicate this Musical to Lord Guruvayurappan and his devotees, who have waited and are still waiting to have HIS Darshan after the pandemic with selfless Devotion.

This timeless song is visualised with a cute little imaginary story which depicts Lord Guruvayurappan's Beautiful Leelas that he plays with his Devotees.

This Music Video has the amazing cast of few Blessed Humans as I would like to humbly put across - Our Most Beloved Sreedevi Unni as Amma, the immensely talented Sarath Das as Lord Himself and my dearest brother Jayaram as another Incarnation of Lord Krishna. We are extremley happy to introduce Tushar Unni as Sreedevi Unni's Son.

The description of this Musical wouldn't be complete without mentioning the soulful Violin interludes of my dearest sister ‪@RoopaRevathiMusic‬ and intricate Music Production of ‪@RamuRajOfficial‬ and brilliant Visuals by Amosh Puthiyattil!

We thank the Honourable Chairman, Administrator and Staff ‪@GuruvayurDevaswomOfficial‬ for the wonderful support extended. We express our gratitude to Sri. Unni Bhavana Studios Guruvayur who gave us Guruvayurappan's Photograph (Copyrighted to Gurvayur Devaswom)

We are blessed to have the guidance of our well wishers Smt Latha Sivaraman and Sri Sivaraman for their inputs on Narayaneeyam Verses. Hope You Visualise to be at Lord Guruvayurappan's Abode and May We all be Blessed with his profound Grace.

Hare Krishna,
Anoop Sankar

On this beautiful Ekadasi Dusk,
Sky fills itself with a beautiful hue like your Peethambara
(Yellow silk which embellishes you)

|| Odakkuzhal oothunnu kaaadellam bhagavan
Choodunnoru Peelithirumdiyo Mazhamegham ||

The Nature is filled with a Divine Music that resonates from your Bamboo flute (Odakkuzhal)

And the sky is filled with such Beautiful Intense Clouds which resembles the Peacock feather (Mayilpeeli) that adorns your Crown

The Sky is all Set to welcome the Ekadshi evening just the way like
The Mighty Garuda Majestically opens his wings to welcome his Lord

The Colours of Rainbow sew themselves like Vanamala (Garlands) which are blessed to be worn by You!

Wherever I look, with moist eyes I see
And feel the emotional ecstasy of your favourite
Dance form “Krishnattam”
