“Bhaktajana Vatsale”- An Abhang ft Padma Shri Aruna Sairam and Vid Sriranjani Santhanagopalan

Dear TH-cam friends,
Wish you all a very happy Deepavali! It is a tremendous honor for me to join forces with the esteemed Padma Shri awardee, Sangita Kalanidhi, Chevalier Aruna Sairam in presenting a distinctive rendition of Sant Namdev Maharaj's Abhang set in Brindavani Saranga, wherein he unequivocally acknowledges the equivalence of the Divine Mother Goddess Lakshmi and Lord Maha Vishnu in unwavering faith - "NAmA MhanE Tu viSvAchE Janani." I have cherished Smt. Aruna Sairam's interpretation of this Abhang since my early years, and it feels like a moment of full-circle significance to now present it alongside her. This Abhang crescendos to its rhythmic peak at the simple and yet powerful “Namavali” that ensues. Hope you also enjoy the brief foray into Rag Basant in the lines "Sajalajaladadhar"! The profound resonance of this Abhang has been brought to full blossom by the exceptional musicians S Sayee Rakshith, Sumesh Narayanan, and MT Aditya.
Initially planned as a part of the annual Navaratri series, AMN 2023, we're happy it got rescheduled to drop during Deepavali- it's the perfect fit for the occasion!
These productions wouldn't be possible without the support of our generous patrons and the amazing students and their parents of Tapasya. And of course, a huge shout-out to you, our lovely audience!

This version redefined the experience of the song for me, sung by my most 2 favorite singers, and one of the most beautifully written and sung Abhangs popularized by Aruna Sairam ji. Exquisite Videography that captured all senses in bhakti bhavam 🙏🏻 feeling divine and elevated listening to it

[@sudhapjois8156]

Very nice Thank you 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@hariprasathkrishnan4681]

Thank you so much Aruna Amma for singing wonderful bhajan in a different journal. Especially I liked the start with Sriranjani madam calling out Panduranga and end with another beautiful ecstatic bhajan Hari Mhana.
Thank you so much to entire team. God bless you all

[@manjup5656]

No words to describe the divine feeling that you both divine souls have invoked❤❤🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 thank you ❤

[@supriyabramachandran]

The Bhakti for vittal Is out worldly - it’s like actually listening to a real life Meera bai

[@visalakshik.raman.6278]

I guessed it right!!!👍
Two voices such as these can merge ONLY in two different octaves....one lower and the other higher. 👌

[@haransethuraman6944]

Eagerly awaited for Navrathri episodes. May b ur preoccupation with Carnatic Music Idol left us in disappointment. This is like a drop in the ocean. Ur melody part to the predominant Aruna Sairam Amma is a honey.

[@rameshprabhu9953]

Listening this abhang in new form by Aruna Sairamji and Sriranjiniji is really new devine experience for me.
