This geetam is in Aadi taLam. It consists of one Laghu and two Dhrutas.

Sahityam – Meaning:
Oh bearer of the mandara mountain, oh murari, who grants salvation, oh destroyer of the demon race, one whose form is sacred, whose feet have auspicious marks, who wears a peacock feather in his crown.

Tip:
Record yourself. When we’re singing, it can be hard to focus on all aspects and really listen to the sound. Recording yourself and listening back to the recording will let you focus on the way you are singing.
You can hear tempo changes or places where your phrasing could be improved. Then, you can go back and focus on those details in your practice sessions.
A teacher can guide you in this at first, but then, through listening, you can become your own teacher.
Hope you enjoyed this session. See you in the next class..
