Smt Annapurna Devi Surbahar- Raga Manj Khamaj

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 21 ส.ค. 2024
- Late Mr. Vaidu Sanyal recorded this rare public performance of Srimati Annapurna in a concert held at Ranji Stadium, Kolkata in December 1953. This upload is a copy from the original.
She is the epitom of pure classical music. She is a musician, not an entertainer like Ravi. Its hard to imagine such a gem existed and only few recognized. A huge injustice by Ravi, how could he let her not perform music in public? Why couldnt they be famous together, that too after 40 years of marriage. Ravi is a womeniser, see how he had a daughter with his manager and did not even avknowledge her existence on his own?
I know the story Ravishankar demolished her.
One can rightly praise Pandita Annapurna Devi without denigrating Pandit Ravi Shankar. Both were legends with their own fabulous music, and their music touched the heart
@@shekharlovekar8917 not denigrading anyone. Stating fact is not denigration. His oersinal life sucks, lowly life. Music wise, he is just above average. Remember, his popularity is among the western audience whose main exposure to Indian classical music is thru Ravi. A reason why he is over rated in the west.
@@RandomVideoClixso he's an amazing musician...life seems very great...and the west loves him yet he toured all around the world and got all sorts of love from millions...the original person who made this comment doesn't even have their facts straight she performed live before. Cry about ravi being bigger and better all you want and keep hating. You should get a life bud.
@@RandomVideoClix while personal and professional lives are different and don't want to comment on it, but certain facts need to be acknowledged. Whether it was unjust behaviour towards Annapurna Devi.. Yes, no doubt. Secondly, whether he is the best Sitar player.. Answer is NO. He is popular in West but in India there are many Sitar players who were better than him. Infact his own Gurubandhu Pt. Nikhil Banerjee, to me, is far superior. There is significant difference in the way they play. But having said so, we need certain artists for certain role they play in taking the Indian classical music to higher level. Pt. Ravi Shankar definitely played this role perfectly
Indian Dharti gives so many mothers. But Annapurna ji is the only one, who becomes a real Maa. My Slam.

@IMIRZA777: How wonderful to see you here, Mirza sir!
ustad Ali Akbar Khan once famously told that
..the virtuoso of amma Annapurna was greater than that of the Calibre of the famous trio together... Ravishankar ji.ali Akbar ji and Panna Lal ji.
This may kindly be noted and remembered!
Yes what he confessed was true. He has mentioned this to one of our very close acquaintances in Calif on his school
@@gautamroy3640 Yes, and the only playing I've heard anywhere near her brilliance and deep soul is "Darbari Mood" from wonderful Nikhil Banerjee.
@@sitarnut Again, Nikhil Banerjee was a disciple of Annapurna Devi as well along with his being a disciple of Ali Akbar Khan and Baba Allauddin Khan. Hence the influence and the likeness thereof, I suppose, for Banerjee was a strict adherent of the classical Seniya-Maihar style of Baba which he had inherited from his Ustad Wazir Khan of Rampur.
Sorry for asking such a stupid question but how do these masters judge other masters? What is the criteria?
It takes a legendary Ustad like Ustad Allaudin Khan Baba to nurture a talent like Annapurna Devi. I bow down to both these maestros.
This is music that can melt rocks. There was never such a fusion of perfection, dedication, precision, spirituality, before or after. This is sacred music. The epitome of human talent and creativity.
I have heard manj khamaj by Ali Akbar Khan- Ravi Shankar and Nikhil Banerjee. Every time I hear the Raag, I cant help but think how light hearted and 'bollywoodish' the raag is.
But listening to the rendition by Ma Annapurna Devi really showed me the beauty of the raag. It is devine and sublime. And nothing like how the boys have played it.
Feel sad that there is so little music from her available today.
Have you actually heard Nikhil Banerjee or Ali Akbar at their best? This sounds frivolous. Annapurna has been elevated to goddess without the critical analysis that the Indian Classical music world lacks.
You are right, but this piece echoes what ale akbar himself said of his sis.
@@nuanced8225
The great maestro Allauddin Khan himself admitted that, Annapurna is way better than the boys. Ustad Amir khan once said she was 80% of Baba Allauddin, Ali Akbar khan 70%, and Ravi shankar only 40%...
Each time I listen to this Manj Khamaj melody my mind weeps for the terrible loss the music afficionados have suffered due to the scarcely available recordings of Ma Annapurna Deviji. In the same breath I cannot but thank Subrata Da a million times for posting this rare gem & making it available for us to listen.
I made it a point to also listen to the Manj Khamaj played by Ustad Ali Akbar Khan, Pt Ravi Shankar ji, Pt Nikhil Banerjee ji, , all the greats of the Maihar Senia gharana but this rendition takes the cake ! Simply divine ! 🙏🙏
Divine does exist . You hear her and you come to know what divinity is..
The only player who takes surbahar from the deep and makes it fly like a bird
May His Holiness Anapurna Devi be understood and be an example for those who want to practice real music as a real musician, not for glory and not for money...but only to guide people in their pure nature. Thanks for this video all around the world and long life for Anapurna Devi.
Pascal MARTIN V well said, thanks..classical music is for meditation and there are many such artists who hve never cut a CD or performed
Annapurna Devi transitioned to another world of comfort on 13 Oct 2018 leaving behind a great legacy of excellence in surbahar taught by her father Baba Allauddin Khan.
@@narayanababuvedula8446 May her soul rest in peace.God almighty is happy to get her near.
@@anirbank6579 thank you for comprehending the truth
They will create music, you will write a comment and go to sleep full belly. Ever wondered what the musicians will eat? Creating divine music with an under stomach is just not possible. So stop setting that holy bar that true legends will not play for money. Indian classical music needs to survive and it is okay to play for money or to simply sell art, what’s not okay is compromising on the quality of that art which Ravi Shankar did, Annapurna Devi didn’t!
There's something magical in this, however many times you listen, you will come bk and listen once more
This cannot be earthly rather it is beyond our realms like an exalted Gandharva tuning her strings. What can be more defining in music. The more I listen to this the more I remain unsatiated.
True. Very perceptive observation.
Pure music!!
Namaste mataji
Treasure of all time. Time stops.. You can just say Aha and Aha....she is not playing, she is telling stories.. untold divine stories ...Pranams to her Blessed Soul. Thanks Subrata babu for sharing this... regards to you too
Even it is a copy, it doesn't matter. I can hear not only music, but a song from the soul... From Poland thanks for sharing!
Hear some RAP
The only time I had seen Annapoorna Devi and listened to her playing, happened during her stay with Late Shankar Majumdar (of Royal Pharmacy) at Patna about six decades ago. The memory shall remain
etched forever!
Dear Gautamji, thats a great experience you have! Can you throw some more light on the experience. From what I have heard, there was no match to Smt. Annaporna Deviji in sitar/surbhar!
Lucky you!
u witnessed n heard a tradition that came from the gods himself it seems so lucky 😊
Wow!! Could you tell us more about it?
So fortunate 🙏🏽
Thank God , we are able to hear the music .
Great Musician but no publicity.
❤Ram Narayan Ram ❤
I can't help but get emotional after listening to the absolutely collosal amount of talent and love that Mata Annapurna puts in her renditions of the Raga. I bow down Mata. You are truly truly great.
I hardly heard Ma Annapurna. This raga Manjh Khambaj played by her in Surabahar, mesmerized me. I can't belief, how talented she was ! Ravishankar ruined her merely out of jealousy.
Smt Annapurna Devi transitioned to another world on 13 October 2018 leaving begging a great legacy of excellence in Surbahar coached by her father guru Baba Allauddin Khan
ڈھیروں آداب و تسلیمات محترمہ ماں روشن آرا خان انو پرنا دیوی جی ۔ آپ ہماری دھرتی کا زیور ہیں، آپ سے ہی زندگی حسین و جمیل ہے ۔ اللہ کریم آپ کے درجات بلند فرمائے ۔ آپ جہاں ہیں وہیں جنت ہے ۔
Amazing. I've been waiting for decades to come across a recording of the legendary Smt Annapurna Devi Surbahar, and it just "popped up" on my TH-cam suggestions today.
This is music of divine level…..my pranam to one of the greatest artists to have ever lived…teacher of maestros like pt. Hariprasad Chaurasia and many more
It's worth listening....
It seems as if she has potrayed her sacrifices and pain through the strings of the surbahar....
Heart warming music it is...
🙏🙏🙏
What I will tell I don't know.
माँ शारदा स्वयं धरती पर अवतरित हुई थीं ,हमारी माँ अन्नपूर्णा के स्वरुप में,यदि अन्नपूर्णा जी ने अपने कैरियर का बलिदान न दिया होता तो रविशंकर को कोई याद ही न रखता,यही कारण था कि हम उनकेलाइव परफॉर्मेन्स से वंचित रह गए,ये कमी तो हमेशा रहेगी ,आपने कुछ सीमा तक उस कमी को पूरा कर दिया, धन्यवाद।
Annapurnaji was a great artiste💕 it was meant for her to be teacher not a performer it was god’s will he knows best .
I think we are the loosers cause we didn’t get to hear more of her music. It is a shame only to us. She devoted her self to her music choosing it over a career that surely would have taken away from such devotion. Her surbahar strings are strung straight from her heart.
After giving it much thought, I feel it to be perfect: The world now realizes how its unfair politics finally leave it at the greater loss. Her music is hers alone.
Sends tears in your eyes, heighs and lows are so good, only one word that would describe this music, if god would love to listen to a piece of music in his kingdom, this would be in my opinion the first choice, I have listen to this piece of music 100 times over and still find a nitch in my heart when I'm alone in sadness, tears and tears!!!
Thank you whoever curated this music... Thank God TH-cam exists .. or this will be lost
Aksar musicians ka kuchh part achha lagta hai....logo ke music ko sunte huye beech me koi koi part esa aata hai jahan man khush hota hai but inke sangeet me to har jagah esa lag rha tha ki bas yahi best hai...aahhha ek ek cheez sampurn lag rhi thi....poora ka poora hi sundar✨✨🙏🙏🙏😌😌 dhanya ho gye... Guru maa ko sat sat naman ....aap amar hain hum sabhi me ..🙏😌

every indian classic music lover .......to be fact.....
Ever Indian classic lover.......they are world wide indian classic lover......
heartfelt thanks for making such rare and wonderful music available
.so much much sitar going on...we all missed you.........this melody broke my heart...those not are crying .......
Surbahar, not sitar.
बाबा उस्ताद अलाउद्दीन खाॅ साहब की बेटी शिष्या मशहूर पारंगत सुरबहार वादक थीं लेकिन परिवारिक वैवाहिक कारण से असमय एक महान दुर्लभ उच्च कोटि की संगीत साधिका की संगीत साधना वादन तपस्या मंच प्रस्तुति पर विराम लग गया और आने वाली पीढ़ी जो उनका कालजयी साक्षात वादन श्रवण कर दर्शन कर धन्य होती और बहुत कुछ संगीत विद्या अर्जन करती उससे वंचित रह गई | वे महान कलाकार थीं लेकिन जीवन बहुत महान भारत रत्न कलाकार होने के बावजूद महान इंसान नहीं थे | संगीत में जो व्यक्ति महान कलाकार अपनी जड़ जमीन गुरू को भूल जाता है वो महान कलाकार के बावजूद महान इंसान नहीं हो सकता है | देशहित संगीत की महान परम्परा को पवित्र रखने के लिए कलाकारों को गुरू - शिष्य परम्परा का निर्वहन अपने स्वार्थहित राजनीति परिवारवाद पूंजीवादी सोच से परे रखना चाहिए रखना चाहिए तो हिन्दुस्तान का संगीत अपनी बुलंदियों सुर लय ताल की गंगा संगीत लहर प्रवाह को अनंत चिरस्मरणीय बना अक्षुण्य निरंतर गतिमान रख सकता है लेकिन दुर्भाग्य से विकृति भारतीय संगीत में भी प्रवेश कर चुकी है जिसे दूर करने के लिए ईश्वर की कृपा चाहिए उम्मीद है कि आने वाला समय बहुत अच्छा संगीतमय शास्त्रीय परम्परागत विकृतियों से अक्षुण्य रहेगा |
Panditiya Annapurnaji was a tremendous force, and contributed so much to her Gharana, a true pillar of strength.
She is undoubtedly the greatest musician ever born !
She epitomizes Sadhna. Away from the limelight.
There's a story. Once Baba gave a lesson to Ali Akbar, and went for some performance for a few days. Ali was practicing, but Annapurna pointed the mistake - and was telling Ali this is what Baba had taught. ..
She didn't notice, but Baba had returned and was standing at the door, and watching them.
Disappointed with the elder daughter, who gave up music, after marriage, Baba wasn't giving lessons to Annapurna.
Realised the talent and- that's what started Baba giving lessons to Annapurna
Total absorption and concentration. This gets right to the soul of raga. Outstanding and sublime. Few others get near this level of performance and sincerity. Nearest is probably Nikhil Banerjee.
Even plucking sound is not heard.Only music !Wonderful!
स्वर किन्नरी को शत शत नमन. अद्वितीय
वादिका , पिता की कला की अनन्य वारिस.
पूर्णिमा
we will keep you in our hearts annapurna ji.....
Subhaan Allah what a super recitation of Manj Khamaj. Millions Salute to the Ma Anuoarna devi ji
Maa Annapurna devi.
It is true story and real history and should be remembered likewise, Ravi Shankar ji had sadly has a hand that we have so little compared to nothing of her music, only relics what we got. Ravi Shankar ji used to be jealous of her mighty power of music and made bad moves that eventually let her out of the way. Maa Ji spent a large time of her life without even touching surbahar, because at one point she quit.
This is totally divine. Many thanks Subroto Roy for posting this gem!
many thanks for uploading this heavenly music sir. Actually today is her birth day n she didn't sing in public performance after 19 55 with ravi shankar. Our president n primer minister requested her to sing but she denied. don't take any government aid n also from the new comer singer want to teach the music. she awarded padmavibhushan by government of india. but she did not attend the ceremony. pure music music n music. grand salute to maa for her grateful beloved devoted service for music.
Question, are you or is your father a musician? Just wondering we had a family friend with the last name Waghmare.... I think it was Narendra Waghmare or something like that
These are heartstrings telling tales of some forlorn and mysterious worlds!

It was in autoplay connected to Bluetooth speaker. I was listening from kitchen . Only when i saw it i knew it was not vocal recital. Such a perfection is possible only who surrenders to the almighty completely. Pronam Ma.
this is purely divine ..
Extremely talented why was not she promoted Ustad Ali Akbar should have called her to USA and promoted her I would advise if a family is full of talented musicians all should find there find their way nobody should back out.
Her greatness is evident in the first few minutes... incredible.
subrata ji millions of thanks for uploading this rare and great piece of music
Great rendition by the legendary artist. Tks for the upload sir
मैंने रवि शंकर जी को भी सुना है।
आपको सुनकर कह ही देता हूँ। आपकी आत्मा का भाव उनसे कई गुना उपर है। मुझे आपका बजाना उनसे बहुत अच्छा लगा। में थोड़े अंतर की बात नहीं कर रहा हूँ। में बहुत बड़े अंतर की बात कर रहा हूँ।
No one can match you mother divine.🙏🌹💐

smt. annapoorna devi legend of indian music
One word "Godly"
माँ अन्नपूर्णा आपको नमन 🌺🙏🙏🙏🌺
Her vow to never again perform in public or record again was a terrible loss. But she had issues other than her husband's behaviour. A talent as great as hers should have been shared. Sequestering it as she did was a personal decision but I can't help thinking that it was a gift that God intended to be shared. To deny this was tragic.
Pronam maa🙏🏻
অসাধারণ
She was really great. We are very very proud of her.
Sur er devi saraswati boro kosto hoy oner sur amra temon vabe aswad korte parlum na.oner jontroner sur amader mone ekta sunnota toiri kore.oneke ajosro pronam r valobasa janai.
Where can I read about the life of this woman? I have never heard of here but she seems to be revered as a musical genius.
You can read the book Annapurna by Shri Swapan Bandopadhyay. I believe it's available in English as well.
Book by Atul kumar merchant "The story of a reclusive genius"
Spellbound...amazing 🙏🙏
इनमे तो देवी शारदा का वास है ,विनम्र प्रणाम
Kya baat hai !!
Still feel like listening her
Salute to you Maa
Excellent rendition of surbahar
Salute to Ma.what a Devine music.After listening her music,I ve started hating Ravi.
World of music lovers had missed such a gem .My salute and pronam to her.
one thing i have to say , to praise one artist if you have to compare him/her with another , thats insulting the music of that artist . Because it kind of shows that the impact of another's artists musicality ,that they have been dragged without context. Annapoorna devi ji's music speaks for itself, it does not need to extra validation to be "better than" ravi ji or anyone else music to be considered worthy . Idiots think they are sounding very gyaani by saying these but unfortunately they are ending up insulting the artist's music in the context only. It's a creative field, and it's impossible to compare qualitative form of anything. So these comparisons mean nothing. Just shows the daftness of the audience .period.
An amazing piece by an amazing artist...
Divine experience 🙏
purely divine
❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Omg ! What a essence of raga .. womenizer ravi won’t even play 10% of this . May be that’s why he stopped her in playing public. What a loss to music world ! She is sakshat saraswathi devi .. my pranams
She is Ma Saraswati herself. An avatar.
Music is blessing of god
Mataji Pronam
Time just stopped..
so true
LONG LIVE SUBRATA DADA !
Maa Ke Pronam Janayi ❤️🙏
Ma। Saroswati। Pronam
She had no right to keep this divine gift,behind closed doors.
