The Malayalam literary and devotional music world bids a tearful farewell to Sahadevan Pattasheril, whose soulful lyrics filled generations of Malayalis with devotion and serenity.
Best remembered for the immortal lines beginning “ Tulasikkathir nulliyeduthu kannannoru malakkay” Sahadevan Pattasheril had the rare gift of portraying the leelas, charm and tenderness of Lord Krishna with striking simplicity and emotional depth. His compositions remain deeply etched in the collective memory of devotees and music lovers alike.
With his passing, a pen that beautifully narrated Kannan’s divine pastimes falls silent. His immeasurable contributions to Malayalam devotional music will continue to inspire and guide future generations.
May the soul of the poet who made us sing with devotion attain eternal peace at the feet of Kannan.
Tributes to the beloved Sahadevan Pattasheril.
