| KAMS Charity Presents 'Geeta Govinda' |
Press Release
08/19/2021
Jayadeva is widely considered as one of the earliest musicians of Odissi music from the 12th century. Every night during the Badasinghara(putting Load Jagannath to bed) or the last ritual of the Jagannatha temple of Puri, the Gitagovinda of Jayadeva is sung, set to traditional Odissi ragas & talas. This tradition has continued unbroken since the time of Jayadeva, who himself used to sing in the temple. After the time of the poet, the singing of the Geeta Govinda according to the authentic Odissi ragas & talas was instated as a mandatory sevÄ at the temple, to be performed by the Maharis or Devadasis, systematically recorded in inscriptions, the MÄdalÄ PÄnji and other official documents that describe the functioning of the temple.
The virtual Global Musical Event will include performances of songs composed by Panditji and performed by famous artists that are trained under his lineage in its original Raga-Taal.
KAMS Charity cordially invites you to come and enjoy the wonderful Global Musical event on this divine occasion. KAMS Charity is expecting devotees, music lovers and artists from around 22 countries for this event. Geeta Govinda delineates the love of Lord Krishna for Radha. The milkmaid, his faithlessness, and subsequent return to her. The Gita Govinda is an incredible work composed by Jayadeva in the 12th-century. The holy Geeta Gobinda explains the relationship between Krishna and the gopis (female cow herders) of Vrindavana, and in particular, one gopi named Radha. The Geeta Govinda by Jayadeva has twelve chapters. Each chapter is again sub-divided into twenty-four divisions called Prabandhas. The Prabandhas contain couplets grouped into eights, called Ashtapadis. It is mentioned that Radha is greater than Krishna. The text also elaborates on the eight moods of Heroine, the Ashta Nayika, which has been an inspiration for many compositions and choreographic works in Indian classical dances.
