When I was three or four years old, my father brought home a radio set. This was six decades ago. It was among the few radiograms that the village had by then, a proud possession for us and quite a public spectacle for the neighbours. I do not recall if the make was Marconi or Philips or some other. What I recall though is that, when it was installed and turned on, it played haunting musical numbers by K.L. Saigal, Hemanta Kumar Mukherjee, Khurshid and Talat Mahmood. Six decades later, I still recall with great clarity the sweet melodies I heard coming through the first radio programme I ever heard. Over these decades, I have been listening to the radio, almost entirely for the musical part of its broadcast. Of course, it was not the radio alone that brought songs to me. They came from older members of the family who used to hum while carrying out activities at home. They came to one during festivals and weddings and during ceremonies associated with welcoming new arrivals in the family. They came from wandering mendicants, bullock-cart drivers, farmers engrossed in sowing fields, women gathered to make pickles and spices, katha and kirtan performers and the sweetest among them came from mothers trying to put babies to sleep.
To this day in Karnataka, and throughout India, the songs of Akka Mahadevi are widely sung. She wrote in the form of a devotional free-verse hymn called a vachana. Around three hundred of these survive, giving voice to her devotion to Lord Shiva. As she writes in the poem above:
