Vivek Moozhikkulam | Taye Yashoda

""Taye Yashoda"" — a jewel from the devotional corpus of Oothukkad Venkata Subbaiyyar — is more than just a composition. It is a spirited, emotionally charged portrayal of the mischievous Leelas of Bala Krishna and the loving exasperation of Mother Yashoda. Set in Raga Thodi and Adi Talam, the krithi bursts with vivid imagery, playful rhythm, and lyrical depth, creating a theatre of divine childhood. At Deepavali Sangeethothsavam 24, this iconic piece was brought to life by Vivek Moozhikkulam, whose voice moved seamlessly between tender admonition and joyous admiration. His rendition captured the essence of a bhakta’s wonder, marveling at the impossible beauty of the Lord — both naughty and divine, earthly and eternal. The performance held the audience in rapt attention at Bekal Gokulam Goushala, a space sanctified by devotion to Lord Krishna and the sacred presence of Goumata. Within this divine backdrop, Vivek’s singing became not just a musical act, but a spiritual retelling — a darshan of Yashoda’s motherly gaze upon her son who holds the cosmos in His palm. The ornate phrases of Thodi raga mirrored the emotional swells of the narrative — awe, disbelief, reprimand, and boundless love — while the steady cadence of Adi talam anchored the storytelling. The descriptions of Krishna’s charming mischiefs, the butter thefts, the innocent denials, and the celestial revelations shimmered in every sangati. This was not just a concert moment. It was an offering of bhakti rasa, a rekindling of the rasa leela in the hearts of all present, where the sacred cow-studded silence of the Goushala merged with the echoes of Gokulam itself.
