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.

Please click the play button below to hear audio

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)

    Great job, Vidhya! Hope to hear more from you at the site as well as ‘live’ :-)

    Ramesh mam, we really appreciate your enthusiasm. We have never ever met anyone else so wholeheartedly dedicated to the cause of ‘mai bhaas’, our mother tongue Konkani.

    We’d love to see more of your contributions here at Radioidli.

    Congrats !! Vidya !! I heard your Konkani devotional song, penned by Sri Ramesh Pai, music arranged by Sri Vittaldas Kamath to the tune of Well-known Hindi Song “Mera Saya”

    When we both were shortlisted in the Zee Anthakshari Auditions, You could not participate in the Zee Anthakshari, as you could not shuttle regularly from Abudhabi to Dubai for 10 days shooting at Zee Studios. Now with this “Mera Saya” song, you have once again presented your talent to the music-lovers. Looking forward to more performances.

    Mohan Kamath.
