Goppa Deivama ?

Some art moves you,some others affect you so deeply you stand still
and the world seems to stop for that moment .

Chinna NAde NA Cheyyi PattiTheevo emotes Tyagayya's tete-a-tete with Lord Rama
where he promises to hold his hand and lead him through.Tyagaraja asks Rama if he is now pondering about whether to hold his hand or let him go .

The lines "Goppa Deivama ? "seem to bring out such an emotion which will take a million colours to paint ,another few million words to describe . A feeling mixed with sarcasm,sorrow the lines emote so beautifully .

It is such a wonder that after so many many years an unrecorded tune should bring forth his deepest feelings, so well preserved .Such bold dialogues with what is Beyond,such intimacy finding that which is beyond within,such dejection, such a tune ,such words ,such truth ,such poetry,such so many things .....

It seems when art is produced with all truth it captures a thought so well and frees it from the cycle of time .Thus arresting it forever.

To be able to connect in some small way to such a soul , shakes me "still".

Here DK Jayaraman presents the song .
