Bogindra Shayinam

Bogindra Shayinam is a Carnatic music composition performed by vocalist T. M. Krishna. The track appears as the second piece on an unreleased live recording from the December Season 2008, issued commercially in 2009 under the label Charsur Digital Workstation. The album was distributed in CD format.

The recording captures a 4-minute and 17-second rendition of the kriti Bogindra Shayinam, a devotional work traditionally attributed to composer Purandara Dasa in the Carnatic repertoire. Krishna interprets the piece in a concert setting, accompanied by instrumentalists whose identities remain undocumented in available sources. The performance adheres to the structural conventions of kriti presentation, including neraval and kalpana swaram improvisations, though specific raga or tala details for this version are not explicitly confirmed in the release metadata.

The December Season refers to the annual Margazhi festival in Chennai, a month-long series of classical music and dance performances held from mid-December to mid-January. Krishna’s participation in the 2008 edition contributed to the live recordings later compiled for this release. The album itself carries no official title in public records, with tracks often referenced by individual kriti names or the season year.

Charsur Digital Workstation, the producing label, specializes in archival and commercial releases of Indian classical music. The 2009 CD release includes multiple tracks from Krishna’s December Season concerts, though the full tracklist and accompanying artists for the complete album are not comprehensively documented. No reissues or digital remasters of this specific recording have been verified as of the latest available information.
