Sri Guru Carana Padma Kevala Bhakati Sadma
Lyrics: Sri Guru Carana Padma Kevala Bhakati Sadma
Author: Narottama Dasa Thakura
Book Name: Prema Bhakti Candrika
Language: Bengali
Raga: Kafi
The ceremonial worship of the spiritual master, or
the Guru Puja, is accompanied by the singing of the
Sri Guru Vandana written by Narottama
Dasa Thakura. Verse 1 and 2
is sung the same as “sri guru carana padma.”
Verses 3 and 4 are sung in the way represented by the first words “caksu dan dilo
jei.”
As a Guru puja
song, original verses 5 through 10 are eliminated, although they can be sung.
Few musically technical points about this song that
should be considered is the second and fourth lines in verses 1 and 2 must be
kept long to avoid problems being out of sync with the eight beat cycle.
When Verse 3 begins, it is important to emphasize
the true tonic (Sa), and not the incorrectly assumed komal ni (‘n). If you play the
song exactly the way it is shown here, you will see the true notes that are
masked by incorrect assumptions of the Sa in the song.
Many songs, in the history of devotional music, have appeared altered because
of incorrect assumptions of the Sa.
