Bhajagovindam Bhajagovindam
Govindam Bhaja Moodhamathe
Samprapte Sannihite Kaale
Nahi Nahi Rakshati Dukrinkarane

Moodha Jaheehi Dhanaagamatrishnaam
Kuru Sadbuddhim Manasi Vitrishnaam
Yallabhase Nijakarmopaattam

Yaavadvittopaarjana saktah
Taavannijaparivaaro Raktah
Paschaajeevati Jarjjaradehe

Putraadapi Dhanabhaajaam Bheetih
Sarvatraishaa Vihitaa Reetih

Gurucharanaambuja Nirbharabhaktah
Samsaaraadachiraadbhava Muktah
Sendriyamaanasaniyamaadevam
Drakshyasi Nijahridayastham Devam.

Flute J.A.Jayant :-
Flute exponent Jayant is a young musician of national and international repute. A wunderkind, affectionately called ​Flute Jayant by thousands was born in a musical family. He was naturally drawn into early training on bamboo flute in the Indian classical music tradition of ​guru-shishya parampara since the age of five, from his grandfather and guru, late Kalaimamani Flute T. S. Sankaran, a Sangeet Natak Akademi awardee himself and a prime disciple of the legendary Flute Mali. With his in-born talent, deep passion and primordial training, Flute Jayanth gave his maiden solo concert at the age of seven. His ability to play ​rAgam-thAnam-pallavi (or, RTP) in three speeds (or, ​thrikAlam) at that age, surprised many senior musicians, co-artistes and audience alike.

Jayant has a unique, virtuoso fingering and flute blowing technique to present his music beautifully even in the very difficult lower octaves on the ​bass and ​double-bass, thick-walled bamboo flutes, while maintaining shruthi suddham (perfect pitching) and excellent tonal quality. His expressive, ​bhava-laden rendering brings out the depth and soul of the lyrical aspects of compositions he presents (​gayaki -form). As a result, Flute J.A.Jayant’s over 1600 solo concerts in India and all over the world, have consistently won him lasting appreciation from one and all, including senior musicians, co-artistes, connoisseurs and ​rasikas (or, music lovers).His unique playing virtuosity and lyrical expressivity have inspired many flautists of the current generation and the younger crop to imbibe his style. He is the first carnatic flautist to unveil 106cms long Double Bass Bansuri flutes in his performances casting a meditative spell on the listeners and also playing on 15cms long piccolo flutes.

Flute J.A.Jayant has been invited to perform regularly at pre-eminent ​sabhas and venues such as the Madras Music Academy, Swathi Sangeethothsavam, Cleveland Thyagaraja Festival, Shanmukhananda Hall –Mumbai, Kalakshethra Foundation - Siri Fort-New Delhi, Purana Quila - Delhi, Chowdiah Hall – Bangalore, Prashanthi Nilayam – Puttaparthi, Kennedy Center – Washington D.C, Drive East Festival – New York, Darbar Festival - UK, Milaap Festival - UK, Sydney Music Festival, DUCTAC Auditorium-Dubai, Reitberg Museum-Zurich to name a few. He has performed at other major centers and festivals across India, USA, Canada, France, UK, Switzerland, Germany, Australia, Dubai, Kuwait, Singapore, Malaysia, Bali, Mauritius and Re-union Islands. Some of these have included ​jugalbandhis/collaborations with renowned Hindustani musicians like Flute virtuoso Pt. Ronu Majumdar, Shehnai Pt. Ashwani Shankar; Veena Rajhesh Vaidhya, Mandolin U. Rajesh, and others.

He has been invited to perform for Sangeeth Sammelan and National program of music by All India Radio.He was awarded 'A' grade by All India Radio at a very young age. He also has the privilege of performing for the Honourable President of India in Daman Diu.
