Christians all over the world are observing the 50-day Lent period, known in Malayalam as Valiyanombu. This is a period of austerities, pure vegetarian diet, prayers and meditation.

This Christian devotional song beginning "Yeshumahesha deenadayalo..." in praise of Jesus is sung in a classical raga. (Yeshu is the Malayalam word for Jesus.) We dedicate this song to the good of mankind and universal brotherhood.
