Raga Miyan Ki Malhar & Raga Gaud Malhar by Niladri Kumar

आनन्द मंगल गावो मोरी सजनी,
भयो परभात सखी बीत गई रजनी।
उधरा निरन्तर फूली फुलवारी,
तहा मोरी मंसा करे रखवारी।।
वर्षी नाम अमी फल लागे,
पीवेंगे कोई संता स्वभागे।।
कहत कबीर गूँज की सैना,
सत्तगुरू शबद परख कर नैना।।

ānañd mañgal gāvo morī sajanī
bhayo parbhāt sakhī bīt gayī rajanī
udharā nirañtar phūli phulvārī
tahā morī nañsā karé rakhwārī
varśi nām amī phal lāgé
pīvéñgé koī sañtā swabhāgé
kahat Kabīr gūñj kī sèna
sattgurū shabad parakh kar nènā

Sing my friend, sing the bliss, sing in joy
The day has broken, the night departs.

In timeless breeze the garden blooms
A nurturing heart, desire grooms.

Nectar ripens in Name's shower
Those destined drink from the bower

Says Kabir the echo abounds
Beholding His Word the eye drowns

(Tr. Madan Gopal Singh)

02 Aaj Rang Hai (Khusrau)

'Thumri is a light form of Indian classical music. The text is romantic and devotional in nature, and usually revolves around a girl's love for Lord Krishna. The language is a dialect of Hindi called Brij bhasha.'

Its a lyrical ode to love and its various moods, experienced in a lifetime.

Thumri- Shyam Bina Chain na aaye- Pt. Chhannulal Mishra

Raag of the Night, Depicting Eternal Longing.

Bandish :
ae ri aali piyaa bin
Sakhi aeri aali piyaa bin
sakhi kal na parat mohe
ik ghari pal chhin
ae ri aali piyaa bin
Sakhi ae ri aali piyaa bin
jabse piyaa pardes gaye morey
ratiyaan katat mori taare gin gin
ae ri aali piyaa bin
Sakhi aeri aali piyaa bin

RagaLabs : Versatile and aesthetically pleasing, Raag Yaman is boundless in creative pursuit. The attempt in this piece has been to creatively showcase, in a short time-span, the various components of a Hindustani music presentation. It starts off with a soothing alaap that draws one into the depth of the raag while touching upon all the notes that define it. The actual bandish is then presented - a basic version first, followed by experimentation with several variations in the mukhda and antara. Aakar and swar taans are generously interspersed as ornamental interludes. The piece ends with each singer signing off in their own unique way and harmoniously concluding on the homecoming note of ‘Sa’ !

Ae ri Aali  Piya Bin (Raag Yaman)

Mat Kar Maaya Ko Ahankaar - Kabir Song from Malwa, Madhya Pradesh

Ashwini Bhide Deshpande. Jhula - Jhamak jhuki aayi badariyaa kaari.

Vaari jaun re, the totally peppy Rajasthani/Kutchi/Malvi guru vandana folk song caught Vedanth and my attention first in The Rajasthan Kabir Yatra when Mooralamarwada made it our anthem.But when the real love happened was when we heard Mahesha Ram sing. With a lilt which spread in front me the entire desert, camels walking, caravans moving, the works. And everytime I hear or sing the powerful, humbling, joyous and beautiful imagery of my guru standing at my doorstep/courtyard gives me goosebumps. Here is a recording of singing in the great eastern mill, mumbai. Still working on the pronunciation.
