These Ashtapadis’ very alluring mixture of context, melody, simplicity, and really, a certain je ne sais quoi(something that cannot be adequately described or expressed) have made them Sanskrit literature’s greatest cross-platform blockbuster hit. A line in the song “Priye Charusheele” is even reputed to have been penned by Lord Jagannatha Himself! Sri Jagannatha is so attached to the verses of these songs that He even wears a silk outfit with pure gold embroidery of Sri Jayadeva’s verses.
Together they served the Lord with exquisite devotion – Sri Jayadeva composed songs in the Lord’s honor, and Padmavathi danced to these compositions before the deities of Puri. Sri Jayadeva married Padmavathi, a pious dancer in the temple of Sri Jagannatha in Puri. Songs from the Gita Govinda, such as “Priye Charusile” and “Chandana charchita” are known to all connoisseurs of classical Indian music regardless of school and style… The Gita Govinda consists of 12 chapters/Sargams, each consisting of prabhandhas/, further divided into couplets of eight (explaining the famous “ashtapadis” these songs are commonly referred to). Possibly his most famous work, the Dasavatara stotra is an invocation, following which, his songs on Radha and Krsna’s sweet Vrindavan pastimes unfold. He is most renowned for his composition, the “Gita Govinda” which has been sung across India in both Hindustani and Carnatic styles of classical music.
Sri Jayadeva Goswami appeared in Orissa around 1200 AD. With such an intention this post is made. Bhajanists and devotees can refer to them while singing and to learn them. We have taken references/help from various links, pictures, articles, video links, slokas and have also been added from our side, so that, it is available to the devotees in one place for reference purposes. Here is an attempt to post Sri Geetha Govindam in three different languages viz., English, Tamil and Sanskrit. Sri Jayadeva Goswami Rachitha Sri Geetha Govindham - Ashtapadhi
