Timeline 1976 : This song was a daily feature over the SLBC,at the dawn of the day and I used to enjoy listening to it it before catching the bus to school.
"Seeking God ? God does not lurk within the darkness of the spritually empty incense scented temples of worship. Rather, he is out there amongst the righteous- the ones who toil with sweat and tears for the common good !"
Thanks for your comments ... A song full of meaning and sung well by TM, Ivor for Kehamadasa's music. I am with you : can never get tired of listening to this poetic song ...
"Leave this chanting and singing and telling of beads! Whom dost [do] thou [you] worship in this lonely dark corner of a temple with doors all shut? Open thine [your] eyes and see thy [your] God is not before thee [you]!" That's something an Indian classics fan won't forget - a poem in Gitanjali by the Indian legend Rabindranath Tagore.
Since 1975, people have been familiar with the tonal feeling in Sinhala: "Anduru Kutiya tula doragulu lagena, gayana gitika, yadina yatika, deviyan hata nese".
