This rendition, steeped in bhakti, tugged at my heartstrings, and moved me deeply. Singing with bhakti, which emanates only from the heart, is so powerful that it is capable of melting even petrified hearts of any listener, said the great sage Narada. I have heard at least two dozen top vocalists singing this kriti; some of them have used this kriti as a convenient vehicle to display their “vidwat” by trying to adorn it with an over abundance of neraval and a torrential flow kalpanaswaras. But the saintly Purandara Dasa’s compositions glitter only in the mellow, soothing light of bhakti, and never under the glare of vidwat, no matter how profound. Using simple words Sri Purandara Dasa expressed profound thoughts in his kritis. The accompanying artists, Sri M S Anantha Krishnan (violin), and Sri Sumesh Narayanan (mridangam) have played very well indeed. I enjoyed immensely listening this rendering. This is how Sri Purandara Dasa's krithis must be sung. Thank you so very much for uploading this video. Yesh Prabhu, Bushkill, Pennsylvania
There are very few male voices of younger generation in Carnatic music worth repeated listening. One among them...wish for great success to this young singer Gurucharan.
Sakala Graha Bala By Saint Purandhara Dasa Translated by P.R.Ramachander Raga Athaanaa Thala Khanda Chapu Pallavi Sakala Graha bala neene, sarasijaksha Nikhila Rakshaka neene , Vishva vyapagane Anupallavi Ravi, Chandra , Budha neene, Rahu kethuvu Neene, Kavi, Guru , Shaniyu Mangalamu neene Charanam 1.Divaa rathriyu neene , Nava dhanyavu neene, Bhava roga hara neene , Bheshajuanu neene, Paksha masavu neene , Parvakalavu neene, Nakshatra yoga thithi karanagalunene 2.Ritu vatshsaravu braduyugadhiyu neene, Krathu homa SAdhbhakthiyu neenembu Nutanagi enno deva Purandara vittalane, Shuruthige silukada aprathima Mahima neene. English Translation Pallavi You are the powers of all planets, Oh lotus eyed one, You are the protector of the earth, Oh Omniscient God Anupallavi Sun, moon, Mercury you are Rahu and Kethu you are Venus, Jupiter. Saturn and Mars you are Charanam 1. You are day and night; you are the nine cereals, You are the one who cures diseases, you are the medicine You are moon’s phase and month; you are the new and full moon, You are star, yoga, thithi and Karana 2. You are the season, years eons and ages, You are rituals, Homa and great devotion, There is nothing new, oh God Purandara Vittala, You are one, who cannot be caught by voice, And you the one with inestimable power.
The Devaranama is woderfully sung. Instead of omitting the last stanza, containing ANKITHANAMA of Purandara Dasaru, the second one could have been dropped.
Very Very Nice rendition with clarity, suswara & with no fault in sahitya. But the keertana is not completely sung. This is the kruthi of great Purandaradasaru. But it is injustice if only half of the kruthi is sung. Please add the remaing portion also & do justice to the great great keertana bu the great great purandaradasaru.

You have started to win our hearts.. please sing more compositions of Sri Purandaradasa.
I agree with every word Mr Yesh Prabhu has said.This literally transports you to a different plane.
The Devaranama is
woderfully sung. Instead
of omitting the last stanza,
containing ANKITHANAMA
of Purandara Dasaru,
the second one could have been dropped.

Superb.. Soulful rendition
Excellent....
Very Very Nice rendition with clarity, suswara & with no fault in sahitya. But the keertana is not completely sung. This is the kruthi of great Purandaradasaru. But it is injustice if only half of the kruthi is sung. Please add the remaing portion also & do justice to the great great keertana bu the great great purandaradasaru.
Ending with purandhar dasa signature stanza would've been nice ..
How can anyone dislike this?
