Here are the first three verses of the śrīrudrāṣṭakam...
with lyrics composed by Tulsidas
🎵 The beautiful melody you hear is composed and arranged by Saurabh Godpole with Nikhil Ghorpadkar on Pakhawaj and Nitish Purohit on Sarod
An honour to sing and chant these verses whilst in India
We had a few moments to spare so filmed me singing verse 1 and verse 7 whilst at the temples in Hariharapura, but when we got around to recording some vocals in the studio many months later we recorded the first three verses! So at the end of the video I am not singing the verse itself but you can still get a feel for it all ...
Saurabh is an incredible composer, to me like a modern day Beethoven.
I have much work to do to match the beauty of his creation BUT this is just a sample and we recorded the vocals on a flying visit to the studio in Pune to give you a feel...
If you would like to hear more such songs and if you are interested in sponsoring a full album with myself, Saurabh, Nikhil and Nitish, then contact info@gaieasanskrit.com
