Dear friends, "GOSREEPURESHAA LAKSHMEERAMANAA..." This is a popular Konkani devotional song from Cochin, embedding the legend of the Lord Venkatesha enshrined in Cochin Tirumala Temple. Gosreepuram is an ancient name for Kochi, and Cochin Tirumala Temple is one of the ancient GSB Temples in Kerala. The story of a King who doubted on and wanted to test Lord Venkatesha, had to eventually lose one eye. The song is melodiously presented by Sri.Muralidhar Shenoy. You can listen the song in my esnips folder : www.esnips.com/web/KONKANISTUFF One needs to listen the song attentively, while enjoying the music, as the lyrics takes one through the legend, so that one visualizes and experiences the Gosreepuresha Mahima. Indeed a gem among our devotional songs....! Jai Konkani, Jai Samaj !! Best regards, Ramesh Pai |
