Distortion of prayer in Orissa --"Ahe Dayamaya Biswa Bihari…Ghena Dayabahi Mora Guhari’

Controversy surrounded the distorted use of famous prayer—‘Ahe Dayamaya Biswa Bihari…Ghena Dayabahi Mora Guhari’—in an Oriya album with culture enthusiasts demanding action against the culture-spoilers.

In the album, the lyricist drew flak after penning the line ‘Ahe Dayamaya Biswabihari…Mate Kala Kain Ete Sundari”.

This has angered the culture lovers in the state with one Nishikant Mishra from Cuttack filing a PIL in the Orissa High Court against the vulgar depiction of the devotional song in the album.

Activists of Kalinga Sena, a local cultural outfit, filed complaint against 8 persons associated with the album making, with the Kharabel police.

But the lyricist, Bapu Goswami and music composer, Gudli Rath have pleaded innocence. “We did not deliberately want to hurt the sentiments of others. There was no ill-motive behind the music composition and penning of the song,” they said in unison.
