I have listened to this performance tens of hundreds of times and yet I keep coming back to it. Such a heavenly performance. I like this pentatonic Raag so much that I have searched all the different renditions of it on youtube, but none come close to this one.
Taking nothing away from Pandit Kumarji, but I believe Pt. Rajan & Sajan Mishraji's rendition is certainly on par if not a tad more sophisticated considering the duo are and have to stay in unison/sync across most of the period.
I think the credit for making Pt. VK a household name outside Karnataka should go to the art loving public of Kolakata. I am happy that now Panditji is generally acknowledged as a top ranking vocalist in India by the connoisseurs of music. Did you know that Panditji routinely declines concert requests owing to his teaching commitments?. Teaching put food on his family's table when he was an unknown singer. Great people don't forget their humble beginnings simply because fortune smiled on them later in life. Thank you Kolkata for making him accessible to the whole of India
+Shivananda Prabhu Yesterday the great Pt VK performed at Kamani Auditorium Delhi. Sadly many people left after Kaushiki Chakraborty's performance in the first half. But I am sure those who remained were lucky and will spread the fame . Looking forward to next rendition. Feel blessed.
A brilliant rendition of the traditional Gwalior gharana bandish 'Sakhee mori' by Panditji. I have been attending Panditji's concerts for the last 10 years and he has never failed to amaze. For me he is the best male vocalist currently, undoubtedly!
I am an American girl who received a link to your video (someone listening to me sing on youtube thought I might enjoy it). I wanted to convey to you, but there are simply NO words to describe, how beautiful this video is. I can literally feel my soul reaching out to witness this sublime sound for itself! Fabulous!
Hi, we are so glad that this music made you feel so deeply. We believe this is what this music is designed to do, that is , move the listener on an emotional and intellectual level. Our channel has a plethora of videos in the same genre by many other great Indian artistes that you should also check out. One in particular comes to mind - click on the following link: th-cam.com/video/jG21qUpkfUI/w-d-xo.html. This video is of a style of music called "Dhrupad", which is considered to be the root form of most Indian classical music. This form does not lay much emphasis on the "lyrics" but concerns itself more with the "sound" of the notes and how they are presented. A point to consider is that this form requires a lot of patience on the part of the listener since it takes time to build up. But patience is greatly rewarded. Hope you like it.
My one year old grandson responds beautifully to Panditji - he becomes peaceful and joins humming in his childish way before drifting to sleep. I never imagined children tun so easily!! God bless Panditji.

Pt VK is the brightest star to come after Pt Bhimsen Joshi. There is a great spiritual quality to his music and it is certainly linked to his own great human qualities of humility.
No one sings durga raag as pt VK does He emenates the core essense of Durga raag!! The spiritual feeling arouses by the essential primaeval Darkness of the Universe,! The raaga of the 'Gandharva Loka ' forbidden to human beings, so I feel !!
I am happy that there are artistes like Pandithji even in today's world.. Simple to thecore, all that he knows is to indulge in "swara saadhana" as his Guru Seva, Only a Guru like Pt. Puttaraja Gawai could have produced a gem like Pt. VK
Pt VK is a phenomena of our times. He equals if not exceeds the all time great rendition of this bandish by late Bade Fatheh Ali Sahib. It is a case of the beauty of music as sheer music at its best. We in Punjab simply adore such rendering of pure melody that so smoothly lends itself to the expression of our spiritual aspirations.
Simply Superb: Clean and disciplined singing. I have become his fan and listen to his songs every night for at least 30 mts before I go to sleep.Many many thanks for uploading his songs.

This must be one of the best rendered Raag Durga..a magical ensemble of sensible accompaniments by Tablaist Pt Raghunath Nakod & on Harmonium Pt Ajay Joglekar. The nuances portray the beautiful mind of Pt Venkatesh Kumar, who has earned the respect of music aficionados all over & commands a standing among the all time greats of Indian Hindustani vocalists. Nothing cosmetic but pure substance!!
It is like a feeling that a mother swings the cradle singing RAGAS to make her smallbaby fall asleep fast.Wonderful singing VENKATESH avare.Naanu Kannadiga.Inta dodda tapsvi gaanalokadalli kannadiga iddare Andre,yentaa Hemme ansutte.U.R simply superb in raaga"DURGA".
What magnificence and majesty! Panditji continues a long lineage of great singers from Abdul Karim Khan Saheb, Sawai Gandharva, and Bharat Ratna Pt Bhimsen Joshi who came from the region of southern Maharashtra - northern Karnataka. Totally enchanting and captivating virtuosity!
You drown in the sweet nectar of his voice. A divine singer.. Proud to be from his state....I heard all his renditions continuolsy for almost 3 hours tody// Great,Pranams to Venkateshji..
I , a person who does not understand anything in music , could make out that each Swara is beautifully Crystal clear , neatly woven together and soothing . Frankly , have no words to describe the pleasure it yields.
I am.ardent follower of pandithji, what a serene voice, plug an ear phone and enjoy the concert, all the instruments can be heard in a ver y scintillating manner
Nowdays I spend my most of the time in hearing classical song .,particularly I enjoy classical song of Pt Venkatesh Kumar which is quite pleasing and joyous.As I am also sangit visharad I learn so many things from classical song while hearing from a singar like Pt Venkataesh Kumar .I sallute his different varieties of presentation. In durga "Yeri Dhan Dhan was also made me very satisfied from raag Durga .Hats of to you Sir !
My knowledge is limited about music raagaas but have found that this specific songs helps me focus when I work and soothes like no other. I have heard this about 50 times so far. Its the rendition. Magic.

I have heard him many times. He is leading.This performance is par excellence.I once requested him in Thane, 2 yrs back to sing Raag Marva and he oblidged. He sang it for one hour.Public was mad.I will remember his that maifil.I kindly request you to upload full maifil and give us , particularly old, single persons passing their days listening to music and oblidge. Aabhari aahe. Anil,Thane.Till yesterday we had 3 days Phiroj Dastur Smruti Samaroha.Last performer was Pt.Ganpati Bhat.He sang Jansammohini foe 1 hr.Durga, and Chakorange......
about 12 to 13 years ago one morning I heard "ondu bari smarane salade" in AIR and couldn't resist myself to get a cd of this ,but I didn't knew the album and the artist.I tried several ways one day I heard the same song in a roadside pendal of shanimahothsava where someone gave me the details,so I got the cd the very moment.From then onward I am not only a fan but a devotee of Panditji.I met him on several occasion and requested for some raga of my choice and for a selfi. He oblized with humility.He is very very simple and down to earth man.Apart from swaras he never mis spell the lyrics,that is his strength as a popular singer,he is great
He has released only 4 classical music CDs, rest of them are devotional; all of them by Sagar music. Each CD has 2-3 ragas, extremely high quality music. You can buy them at www.amazon.in/M-Venkatesh-Kumar/dp/B00IA0AX7M. If you go down to "Frequently Bought Together" section you will see other 3 CDs. For some reason, not much of his music is released on CDs, probably because he is too shy. I have searched all over for his CDs and I could find only these 4. I love them so much that I have bought 2 copies of each of them, just in case if one gets ruined.
What a powerful voice.. i am a fan of Panditji VK and he really is a sensational artist!! 🙏🙏🙏 if someone happens to listen his rendition of Bhimpalasi they will listen and listen!!!
What a godly voice A great singer with a unique style of his own.Rag durga was mesmerising.Punditji you have taken me to the celestial world.May god bless you and your family with long life and good health,SUPERB. Dhanalakshmi Ramdas
Since Venkatesh Kumar hails from my state Karnataka, I am really proud of him. He is gem of a Hindustani classical singer, equals Bhim sen Joshi another jem of Karnataka,hough settled in Poone in d later stage of his life.Durga by Venkatesh has no equals.His master piece.A top, re,ma pada mapada etc.
this video is one of my MOST FAVORITE , whenever I feel exhausted , it relieves me from tention, just awesome, Pt Venkatesh ji is highly blessed, millions of thanks to FIRST EDITION, its really very first edition, though this raag been sung by many centuries after century, its VERY REFRESHING.
Any time of the day you can listen to panditji music. there is never a dull movement. He is the only deserving person for Bharatha Ratna award & should be given at the earliest ❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉
Raag DURGA rendition by great VENKATESHJI IS so soul touching it leads to the nostalgia of a "mother swinging the cradle singing raagas to make her smallbaby fall asleep fast".
There is such sublime simplicity in Panditjis gayaki and total sense of camaraderie between tabla and vocal , the comfort of it all reflects in the bliss one feels in Panditjis recital. When he sings it opens all the closed doors within and without
You're right, Harnarain Sarda; their body language adds value to their skill in a manner that forces one to visit over and over again, their programs on youtube
Namaste sir I hear you singing from three years. You're a great singer Very good performance. I am learning music from 9 years and now from Guruji Sadhashiv Bhat. I wish to come to your concert.
It has been a matter of concern that who after PT. Bhimsen Joshi ? In recent past it has been PT. Venkateshkumar is answering this concern by his melodious and captivating singing !
I've listened to this more than a dozen times and it always sends into a different state of consciousness. A universe that makes such talent possible must be A+++!
Just want to fall in his feet. He is not an ordinary singer. He is Mata Saraswati's son. Thank you sooo much.

You can buy them at www.amazon.in/M-Venkatesh-Kumar/dp/B00IA0AX7M. If you go down to "Frequently Bought Together" section you will see other 3 CDs. For some reason, not much of his music is released on CDs, probably because he is too shy. I have searched all over for his CDs and I could find only these 4. I love them so much that I have bought 2 copies of each of them, just in case if one gets ruined.

Since Venkatesh Kumar hails from my state Karnataka, I am really proud of him. He is gem of a Hindustani classical singer, equals Bhim sen Joshi another jem of Karnataka,hough settled in Poone in d later stage of his life.Durga by Venkatesh has no equals.His master piece.A top, re,ma pada mapada etc.
this video is one of my MOST FAVORITE , whenever I feel exhausted , it relieves me from tention, just awesome, Pt Venkatesh ji is highly blessed, millions of thanks to FIRST EDITION, its really very first edition, though this raag been sung by many centuries after century, its VERY REFRESHING.
Shree Pt VK is a great classical singer like Pt Bhimsenji Joshi.Dharwad soil had given these two legends to all music lovers.Shat Shat Pranam.
Don't forget Mallikarjun Mansur and Gangubhai Hangal
Great. What a voice ! First time I am hearing Panditji. Totally amazing.
Any time of the day you can listen to panditji music. there is never a dull movement. He is the only deserving person for Bharatha Ratna award & should be given at the earliest ❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉
Simple man with EXCELLENT talent.
Really beautifu0l.
Raag DURGA rendition by great VENKATESHJI IS so soul touching it leads to the nostalgia of a "mother swinging the cradle singing raagas to make her smallbaby fall asleep fast".
Beautiful, beautiful! I keep coming back to listen again and again and again. Superlative!
Thank you so much panditaji..apko shatshaha pranam.. my 5 months old infant started liking this video..
Excellent rendition of raag durga. It was a relaxing experience to mind & body. Thanks panditji.
His Masterpiece Raag Durga... Superbly performed.. Awesome.. Perfect and beautiful flow.

@@The_Svara thank you, I am in Pune now , will try to find if there's a concert these days
@@batonlama1455 If you could also recommend a teacher to me that would be great, so that I can sing like him.
I have no knowledge of classical music. Still, enjoy all kinds of them very much. Pandit Venkatesh kumar has always impressed me with his music..
Unless you've something of it within you, you cannot appreciate it, Ramaprasan-ji. You're blessed with adequate knowledge of music, I bet
wow, what can I say, listened at least 4 times already.
Extraordinary rendition of a surreal raag. Pandit ji is blessed by ma saraswati 🙏🏼
Feel to listen on and often Pt Venkatesh Kumarji makes people to involve in that rag🙏🙏
Why the lord will not come and hear his music? What a wonderful rendition!
I AM GRATEFUL TO FA, YOU MADE ME LISTEN SUCH A BEAUTIFUL VOCALIST. THANKS FOR THIS VDO.
Thank you Venkatesh ji for 18 minutes and 27 seconds of ultimate pleasure.
No words to express absulatly what a great singer he is.salute.🙏🙏
Guruji main apkey sare rag sunta hoon lekin rag durga ko main roj sunta hoon lajawab gayki.
Par excellence great singing accompaniment is also superb enhancing the lavel of music very soulful Anup Singhal Meerut OM
There is such sublime simplicity in Panditjis gayaki and total sense of camaraderie between tabla and vocal , the comfort of it all reflects in the bliss one feels in Panditjis recital. When he
sings it opens all the closed doors within and without
raghunathji and joglekarji you both are gems to indian classical music wah kya वात hai
You're right, Harnarain Sarda; their body language adds value to their skill in a manner that forces one to visit over and over again, their programs on youtube
Really art of contoling voice and and singing pk
Namaste sir I hear you singing from three years. You're a great singer Very good performance. I am learning music from 9 years and now from Guruji Sadhashiv Bhat. I wish to come to your concert.
It has been a matter of concern that who after PT. Bhimsen Joshi ? In recent past it has been PT. Venkateshkumar is answering this concern by his melodious and captivating singing !
True
Shri Venkatesh ji is revelation and a revolution, it is unfortunate that he does not get that much press as others. Salute sir .
I've listened to this more than a dozen times and it always sends into a different state of consciousness. A universe that makes such talent possible must be A+++!
How'd you get a tickmark next to your channel name?
No words for Panditji,Godly voice special thanks to Raghunathji and Ajayji for excellent Tabala and Harmonium sath.
This man is jewel of Karnataka
The great thing is Panditji always smiling with happiness. Goddess Durga is in front of him.
