Music 3 - Sopanam - The Song Of The Kerala Temples Poem by Geeta Radhakrishna Menon

Music 3 - Sopanam - The Song Of The Kerala Temples

Rating: 5.0


Sopanam - the song of the spiritual steps,
Song of the rising sweet notes,
Song of the receding gentle melody,
Song of the pleasant lingering lyrics!

Sopanam - soothing song of the eternal lovers,
Song of their enchanting dance - ‘Rasakreeda'
Song of the charming emotion - ‘Sringara'
Song of everlasting love of Radha and Krishna!

Sopanam - song of the swaying palm leaves,
Song of the playful, cooling wind
Song of the red ‘Thetchi' and white ‘Mandaram' flowers,
Song of the ‘Tulasi' leaves and sweet-scented ‘Mallipoov'!

Sopanam - song of the ‘Ashtapadis',
Song of ‘Krishnattamkali'-Krishna and His Gopis,
Song of Kathakali heroes, war and peace,
Song of ancient legends and love stories!

Sopanam - The song of spirituality,
Song of the yearning soul,
Song of divine experience,
Song of the Kerala temples!
