You might also want to follow Shri Narahari’s page to listen to his solos and collaborations on the sitār. Per my “policy”, I have offered only the audio here, but those who wish to can watch the video here. We are also fortunate to have a lovely song-recitation (in his very own style) of the whole poem by Shri Kanada Narahari.

(For other audio recordings of Bendre singing his own poetry, go here.) The high-pitched reediness of his voice has somehow always intrigued me. It was clear to everyone of standing in the “poetry world” that here was a new poet whose poetic shakti (~power) was his very own.”įor a great many more piquant details (including Bendre’s story about the poem’s genesis and information about Masti), please read the afterword below.Īnd now, Bendre’s own recitation (!) of the first three stanzas of the poem. that one reading was hardly sufficient to understand the various meanings the poem suggested, it was enough to astonish the thousand-strong audience. It is impossible now to describe the ecstasy its listeners felt that day. At that conference, Shri Bendre read out his poem, “ ಹಕ್ಕಿ ಹಾರುತಿದೆ ನೋಡಿದಿರಾ? (The bird is flying – have you seen it?)”.

I will let Shri Māsti* Venkatēsha Iyyangār explain (in his own words)… In this case, not (simply) for its “poetic worth” – which for once takes a backseat – but for its impact on the Kannada literary scene. One of the most historically significant poems in Kannada literature.
