Hi Am looking for the meaning for Purundaradasar Kriti "Brindavana Dolu" I need it for performing (dance) in Dec ....Thanks
Suchitra Sairam - Brindavana Dolu - YouTube I got this link. (FYI: Sorry I dont know anything about dance, but interested in purandaradasa kritis) Young Krishna attracts the attention of the gopis in gundavan as he dances away in the gardens. One Gopi says to another, "look how he dances among the flowering trees - moving with such energy and joy. He is decorated so beautifully - adorned with bright gems and his earrings that dance with him. He is admired by the gods and demons alike and selflessly offers his blessings to all." hope this is useful.
Thanks a lot yathriga .. I did c this link .. I prefered a more detailed meaning ( line to line ) so choreography would become much easier .. But something is better than nothing .. Sincerely appreciate your effort for helping me .. Thanks again
