  • Eminent Literary Luminaries of Orissa
    ORISSA REFERENCE ANNUAL - 2004 EMINENT LITERARY LUMINARIES OF ORISSA JAYADEVA Jayadeva lived in the twelfth century and is well-known author of the musical epic Sri Geeta Govinda. He hailed from Kenduli village in the Prachi Valley between Bhubaneswar and Puri. He spent most of his life at Puri and composed the songs of Sri Geeta Govinda as musical offerings to Lord Jagannath. Padmavati his beloved wife, danced to the songs sang and choreographed by Jayadeva. The composition was probably performed first on the twin occasions of the dedication on the Srimandir and the coronation of Kamarnava as the crown prince in 1142 AD, during the reign of Chodaganga Deva, the founder of the great Ganga Empire in the east coast of India, Jayadeva, a great scholar and composer was a devotee first and a poet next. His Sri Geeta Govinda is a glorification of the essence of Jagannath Chetana or Jagannath Consciousness–the path of simple surrender, which later Sri Chaitanya popularized as the Gopi Bhava or the Radha Bhava. Gitagovinda has become the main prop of Odissi dance. It also has an enormous influence on the patta paintings of Raghurajpur. As a beautiful, ornate kavya, Gitagovinda received appreciation at home and abroad. Its sonorous diction and rhythmic musical excellence have created a unique place for it in world literature. Gitagovinda consists of twelve cantos or sargas including twenty- four songs and seventy- two slokas. It is designed to be sung in definite ragas and talas. It has been rightly observed that a narrative thread runs through the songs, lending it a dramatic structure.
