Happy birthday, Yesudas!

By O.J.George

Grace of God it is that we have a K.J.Yesudas amidst us to sing good things to us. The Almighty chooses one in a lifetime, perhaps, to transcend beyond the realm of hatred, injustice, violence, attacks for no reason and what not.

Music is the only medium which titillates people with the melody, the tenor, the cadence, the vibrations and emotions driving the elements to compassion and mercy.

Pure music is believed to have the Rain Gods pour copiously, listening to the lilting voices.

Yesudas has rendered his life to the world of singing and music and the people owe him dearly for the services rendered by him to lift them to the heights of ecstasy.

Classical music maestro he is, definitely, but film music might have provided him a wider reach among common folk.

Whatever he did with his voice turned into something sublime, leading the people to an ultra natural ambience.

Existence of the world , that is society, is dependent on such entities.

Let us bow before him on the occasion of his seventieth birthday and offer him all the best in life.
