Episode 4: Nannu brovu lalitha (Lalitha) || Sudha Raghunathan || Syama Sastry - 8 Jan 2021

"Appreciating non-Tamil kritis through lyrical videos with Tamil translations"

Background : Legend says that Syama Sastry (1762-1827) composed a series of nine songs, called navaratnamALika, on Goddess Meenakshi of Madurai. The kriti ‘nannu brovu lalitha’ is one among this precious set of compositions.

Gist of the kriti : In this kriti, Syama sastry pleads to Madurai Meenakshi, by saying that he trusts Her fully and believes the Goddess is the only savior, and so She should come fast and rescue him from all the worldly matters.
Raga Lalitha is fitting for the situation, and helps in bringing out the emotions beautifully.
