SrI:

 

Dear SrIman Srinivasan :

 

"KasthUri Tilakam " SlOkam on Lord KrisnNA's

dhivya MangaLa Vigraham has been composed by

a great KrsihNa Bhakthar from Kerala by the Name of

Leela Sukhar .

 

It is the 2.108 slOkam of SrI KrishNa KarNAmrutham,

a string of Bhakthi laden poems offered at the sacred

feet of the Lord . The poetry mingles with ease with

Bahgavath anubhavam of this Saint , who lived 400 plus

year ago . He belongs to the great traditon of KrishNa

BhakthAs like SrI NaarAyaNa Bhattadhiri , OothukkAdu

MahAn et al .

 

SrI LeelA Sukhar's entire composition is in three chapters and

each slOkam is a treasure like PeriyAzhwAr's and

other AzhwAr's anubhavam of Lord Krishna .

Sriman M.G.Vasudevan of our list has often quoted

slOkams of SrI KrishNa KarNAmrutham and commented

on them . Additional postings of mine on specific

slOkams by myself are also in the Oppiliappan

archives maintained by SrIman Sriram Srinivasan;

http://www.ibiblio.org/sripedia/oppiliappan

 

I will leave it to the other List Members to guess

the author of the ancient slOkam that we use in

our daily SanshyA Vandhanam . It would be a nice

contest .
