"To unite Saraswats and all its subcommunities as one, regardless of geographic location and dialects, through the common flavour of music and rich Saraswat cultural expression. Technology and the Internet are our greatest enablers to achieve this objective of our Religious Heads and Elders."
Our next post is a “Krishna Leela” dance presented by Meghana as Lord Shri Krishna, and friends Amey Shenoy, Milind Nayak, Anurag Kamath & Arya Prabhu as gopabalas, at the UAE Amchigele Samaj annual day celebration in December 07.
What is unique about this dance is that it involves the talent, efforts & enthusiasm of three generations:
Meghana, a 7 year old grade III student of Indian High School, Dubai;
Sujatha Bhat, Meghana’s doting mother who lovingly encourages her budding talent &
Smt.Jayanthi R. Pai, Meghana’s multi-faceted charming grandmother of whom both Sujatha and Meghana are immensely proud.
Smt.Jayanthi R.Pai not only composed the lyrics & the music but also sang this konkani song that melodiously depicts incidents from Shri Krishna’s childhood.
Smt.Jayanthi is a an extremely talented lady who participated in & won several competitions during her school years at Honnavar. She is also a well known public figure, having served as Corporator in Mangalore for 5 years.
It is no surprise then, that her grandchild Meghana is showing a keen interest in music and dance from such a young age.
We wish to thank Smt.Sujatha & Shri Ganesh Bhat for sharing this video with us.

Our next offering is a Sai Bhajan sung by 7 year old Hamsika Shanbhag. This bubbly little girl is the daughter of Shanti & Anand Shanbhag & a student of grade III at KGS, Dubai. Hamsika has been training under Hindustani classical singer Smt.Chitra Ghosh for the past two years.
We do hope you will like Hamsika’s rendition of “Janam diya tune Sai ko….” , originally sung by Kavita Krishnamurthy. Hamsika would love to receive your blessings via comments posted at radioidli

Ever imagined a Konkani song on a Hindi Karaoke track ? Listen to this song - original is a Hindi film song from ‘Meraa Saaya’ released in 1966, and sung by Smt. Lata Mangeshkar. But here we have a devotional song in Konkani. Perhaps some of you have heard a portion during some bhajan sessions, especially in and around Kochi. But this one, we are sure, is going to be a treat for your ears.

The song starts as “Toonchita Shree Venkateshu…Tuje Naanva Shreenivaasu” - The singer is Smt. Vidya Kini from Abu Dhabi, UAE. She has presented this song with full devotion to Lord Srinivas, adding wholehearted love and affection for her husband Sri. Srinivas Kini. Payyanur Ramesh Pai has contributed the lyrics. Voice & track mixture and recording was done by Sri. Vittaldas Kamath.
Editor’s Note: Shri Ramesh Pai Maam is a great support for us. It is very kind of him to share with his experience and guidance for our humble and young project. With firm knowledge of our heritage and culture, you will find him accepting and embracing newer trends and technology. His esnips folder with a great collection of Konkani bhajans is a treasure! We hope Ramesh-maam with his continued encouragement will help us showcase more hidden treasures of our Samaaj….. (nagesh pai)
