Popular Annamayya Kriti Vandé Vāsudévam

Rāgam: Sri
Tālam: Kandachāpu

Salutations to Vaasudeva, the consort of Goddess MahaLakshmi. Prostrations to His lotus feet!

He is the one who resembles the blue lotus and holds Lakshmi on His chest. Smearing sandal paste all over his body and adorning the gem studded crown on his head, He, the father of Manmatha, wears a garland decked with Mandaara flowers.

He is the one who protected Yudhishtra of Hastinapura and readily rescued the elephant King Gajendra. The lotus faced Lord, who holds the disc in his hand, is the Lord of Venkata Hills. Salutations to Him!

A devotional contribution by Sridevi Nrithyalaya... Our copyright policies on SDN's productions

Since SDN is run by SRIDEVI NRITHYALAYA TRUST, all the productions of SDN, be it music or dance, become intellectual property of the Trust. Sridevi Nrithyalaya Trust (SDNT) owns all the productions and will not allow anyone to download or use SDN videos/audios, even if it is meant for non-commercial purposes.

With able legal guidance, our team works meticulously in curbing audios/videos of Sridevi Nrithyalaya that have been used in unauthorized ways and uploaded on social media. Though we do not put up copyright declarations in all our videos, we strictly adhere to legal formalities and procedures regarding copyrights.

We work hard and spend a good time and amount of our resources to produce our music and dance videos. They are produced and uploaded on our social platforms solely to take our art to all those rasikas around the globe who are unable to reach us in person to enjoy SDN's art live.

It is not about 'misuse' or 'trying to support' our dance and audio productions by just giving credits. Art is for all, for sure. Our productions uploaded on social media platforms are for the art lovers worldwide to WATCH and ENJOY but definitely not for copying or reproducing without SDNT's authorisation.

SDNT has unanimously arrived at this decision and therefore, SDN or any individual from SDN would not be able to grant anyone permission to reproduce any of our works.



All the productions of Sridevi Nrithyalaya are intellectual properties (Aural & Visual) of SRIDEVI NRITHYALAYA TRUST solely. Any person or channel infringing our copyright policies (which are mentioned in the description box in our YouTube videos) will be given a 'copyright strike' which we might not be able to redeem at any cost.
