These truths ( the essence of the Bhagavad Githa ) and the bliss attained through music are well known to Hanuman , the son of the Wind God, who holds in his hands the lotus feet of Lord Rama, the consort of Sitha. Hanuman, praised by Indra, of the form of the blessed monkey, knower of the secrets of all doctrines and rituals of Viṣhṇu, Siva, the Sun, and Sakthi, and the bestower of boons on the blessed Thyagaraja, remains truly content, having realized and lived this truth. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- DISCLAIMER : These songs have been uploaded for hearing pleasure only and as an archive for Carnatic music.
