Karthik Sekaran
Hi,
Karthik Sekaran here. Many of you might know me as Chandramouli, and that still remains my legal name. I welcome you all here on Soundcloud, whether you decide to support or not, I am still grateful to you all for making your way all the way till here and checking out my music.
ABOUT ME: I am a musician from Delhi, India. Trained in Indian Carnatic Vocals and a keen interest in various other genres, I try to blend in various styles to give the listener something new. I am also the vocalist of a Carnatic progressive rock band called The Iyer Project.
I have a master's degree in mechanical engineering and was working full time on environment conservation, rural development and skill development and education initiatives across India for almost 8 years before deciding to quit and pursue music full time. I might have quit that organisation but I am still very passionate about environment conservation, climate change and mitigation strategies, and education and I eventually hope to create some kind of positive impact at whatever scale possible through the support generated by my music. So, remember, when you choose to support me, you are not just supporting good music but also enabling me to implement simple initiatives that will contribute towards making the world a better place.
I hope my music helps you through your difficult times, adds a new flavour to your good times and together we make the planet a better place to live for all beings.
Thanks for your support.
Hey Govind is a popular bhajan written by Surdas. The song tells the story of Gajendra the elephant who gets trapped by a crocodile when he went to drink water from the Sindhu river. After trying in vain to free himself, he prayed to Govinda or Krishna to save him. Hearing his call, Govinda comes to his aid.

Lyrics Main aur tu Saath rahe jab tak Kinare sang lehrein chalein
Main aur tu Ek hi hain Jaise phoolon mein rang ghule
Main aur tu Sang chalein Jaise dhaara mein nauka koi
Main aur tu Juda na ho kabhi Dua hai yeh meri
Tu din ki hai garmi Main raaton ki narmi Tere bin main hoon kahaan Tu hai meri khwahish Ya kudrat ki saazish Tumsa na koi yahaan
Tu din ki hai garmi Main raaton ki narmi Tere bin main hoon kahaan Tu hai meri khwahish Ya kudrat ki saazish Tumsa na koi yahaan
Tumse pehli baar mila Maine socha na tha chahoonga itna Kabhi Kabhi lagta mujhe hai Kya yeh sach hai ya hai koi sapna
Tumse pehli baar mila Maine socha na tha chahoonga itna Kabhi Kabhi lagta mujhe hai Kya yeh sach hai ya hai koi sapna
Tum bin thi meri jo zindagi Jaise pyasa koi peene ko tarse Tumko jo paaya hai toh zindagi Ke rookhepan mein paani barse
Tu din ki hai garmi Main raaton ki narmi Tere bin main hoon kahaan Tu hai meri khwahish Ya kudrat ki saazish Tumsa na koi yahaan
Tu taaron ki mehfil Aur mein unki jhilmil Dono alag toh nahin Tu hai meri khwahish Ya kudrat ki saazish Tumsa na koi yahaan
Main aur tu Saath rahe jab tak Kinare sang lehrein chalein
Main aur tu Ek hi hain Jaise phoolon mein rang ghule
Main aur tu Sang chalein Jaise dhaara mein nauka koi
Main aur tu Juda na ho kabhi Dua hai yeh meri
