AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

I was listening to one of the talk where you mentioned about a book written by Anirvan which is on Gita. Can you please give the name of that book๐Ÿ“–?

Anirvan translated The Life Divine in Bengali. You are probably referring to Anil Baran who has written the Bhagavad Gita with English translation and appropriate passages from Sri Aurobindo’s writings. It is available through SABDA.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

Sir, the popular bhakti song ‘Shokoli tomari iccha….tomar kormo tumi koro ma, loke bole kori ami’, which you often mention, was sung by Pannalal Bhattacharya. He was a legendary Shyama Sangeet singer. Dwijendralal Roy was mainly associated with patriotic songs. One of his famous songs is ‘ Dhono dhanye puspe bhora’. ๐ŸŽผ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป๐ŸŒผ๐ŸŽถ

Yes as a child I was quite fond of Pannalal ji. Actually I was referring to the writer, not the singer. May be you could let me know the author of the song.ย
