Raghunath Panigrahi
BHUBANESWAR: Orissa’s well-known musician and versatile vocalist Pandit Raghunath Panigrahi would be the recipient of the coveted Jayadev Samman for the year for his pioneering contribution to popularisation of poet Jayadev’s Geet Govind. The award, instituted by New Delhi-based Odissi Academy, carries a citation, a plaque and a cash of Rs.one lakh.

Odissi Academy director and Odissi dancer Kabita Dwivedy told The Hindu that a five member jury headed by noted littérateur Jagannath Prasad Das selected Pandit Panigrahi for the award from among the nominations received for the year.

The award would be presented to a pioneer from the field of arts and literature from any part of the globe every year having similar contribution towards promotion of Geet Govind, she clarified.

Better known as the better half of the late legendary Odissi danseuse Sanjukta Panigrahi all over the globe, the septuagenarian singer-composer has been responsible for popularisation of the 12th century saint poet Jayadev’s immortal Geet Govind across the globe.

Honoured by the French Government way back in 1976, he has been singing and composing for the past 50 years.

The King of Puri - Gajapati Maharaja Dibya Singha Deb – would confer the honour on Pandit Panigrahi during the inaugural ceremony of the two-day Jayadeva Utsav on Monday at the India Habitat Centre in New Delhi, informed Dwivedi.

The event – a festival of dance, music and literature - is being hosted by Odissi Akademi in association with Habitat World and the central Sahitya Akademi for the sixth year at the national capital, she added.

The festival would showcase celebrated artists Raghunath Panigrahi (Odissi vocal), Kiran Segal (Odissi), Pratibha Prahalad (Bharatnatyam), L.K. Pandit (Hindustani vocal), Gopika Varma (Mohiniattam), Sailaja (Kuchipudi), Surupa Sen and Bijayini Satapathy (Odissi) and Ratikant Mahapatra’s Srjan troupe (Odissi). All of them would present their compositions and choreographies based on Jayadeva’s poetic works.

A day-long national Seminar on Jayadev would also be hosted during the festival at the Sahitya Akademi on Monday.

While the key-note address would be delivered by Gaya Charan Tripathy, director, Kala Kosh, IGNCA, New Delhi, scholars like Radhaballabh Tripathi, L.K. Pandit, G.S. Patnaik, D.N. Patnaik, Gadadhar Mahapatra, K. Jayakumar and Subas Pani would present papers, it was learnt.

The Origin of Geet Govind
Geet Govind is an epic poem, written in Sanskrit by Jayadeva in the eleventh century. It is said that Jayadeva was a poet in the court of King Lakshmansen of Bengal. He was an ardent devotee of Krishna and he wrote the verses of the Geet Govind as an expression of his devotion. At the temple of Jagannath in Puri he would sing the songs from the epic poem and his wife Padmavati would dance to them. Soon Geet Govind spread through the length and breadth of India. However Puri remained the center for Geet Govind. A special community of dancers known as the Maharis used to enact verses from the poem. A fifteenth century inscription in the temple prescribes the inclusion of dances from the Geet Govind as a part of the nightly rituals of the temple.

The Geet Govind was first translated into English in 1792 by William Jones. There after it has been translated into many European languages and into most of the modern languages of India. It is perhaps the most translated Sanskrit work.

Divine Love
Human emotions have been so intensely portrayed by Jayadeva that it is easy to forget that the protagonists of the epic are divine. But it is amply evident that Krishna and Radha are divine and that Jayadeva considered them to be so and worshipped them devoutly. What Jayadeva describes is the Divine Lila of Krishna and Radha during their avatar in the land of Braj. In fact many Hindu philosophers consider this Lila to be an allegory for the human soul’s desire to merge with the divine.

There are several evidences of the divine nature of Jayadeva’s work. It begins with an invocation to Krishna as the Supreme deity. Throughout the work Krishna is referred to with his several divine epithets and his divine acts, most commonly that of slaying various demons. Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, one of the most revered Hindu saints was immensely influenced by Geet Govinda

Sri Raghunath Panigrah (1934), at very age he learnt from his father the classical way of singing the Gita Govinda as preserved in the temple of Jagnath Puri.
