Telugu Lyrics of "smara varam" - Devotional Song

కాపీ రాగము  ఆది తాళము 


స్మర వారం వారం - మానస

స్మర నన్దకుమారమ్‌.


1. ఘోష కుటీర పయోఘృత చోరం

గోకుల బృన్దా వన సoచారమ్‌ || స్మర||


2. వేణురవామృత పాన విలోలం

విశ్వస్ధితిలయ హేతు విహారమ్‌ || స్మర||


3. పరమహంసహృత్పఞ్జరకీరం

పటుతరధేనుక బక సంహారమ్‌ || స్మర||


smara vaaraM vaaraM - maanasa

smara nandakumaaram^.


1. ghOsha kuTeera payOghRta chOraM

gOkula bRndaa vana samcaaram^ || smara||


2. vaeNuravaamRta paana vilOlaM

viSvasdhitilaya haetu vihaaram^ || smara||


3. paramahaMsahRt^ pa~njarakeeraM

paTutaradhaenuka baka saMhaaram^ || smara||


(Probably I first heard this song in a cassette with the ringing voice of Dr. Balamuralikrishna. What can we say about great composition, great art, and great voice? They live forever if the posterity cares to preserve and protect the original writings. Many Carnatic singers and vocalists can immediately recognize this kirtana. It was composed by Sri Sadasiva Brahmendra Swamy. His compositions were very limited in number but they condense all the essence of Upanishads and Puranas. We will explore its meaning in future posts. For now we can try to meditate and learn this song; may the song bring peace, joy, and health to all in the New Year. Transliteration follows the scheme of Lekhini.)
