If anybody wants to understand/perceive a raga, this is the person. No sparkling technical show-off. No innovative phrase appearing suddenly to surprise. But as he played, the raga used to appear around him, adding a divine touch. Only Pt Nikhil Banerjee could attain this, none before, none after.
You can listen to this everyday for the rest of your lives, but still find some new things to marvel about every time you listen again. This type of music has no parallel, just nothing else comes close.
I have listened raga Sohini played by many artists but played by Pt.Nikhil Bannerjee is something which does not have any match.I have the cassette of raga Sohini and Megh. Particularly raga Sohini makes me highly immotional and tears come out of my eyes when it is played by Pt.Nikhil Bannerjee.
Божественная часть меня Как постоянный свет, Как постоянный звук. В любви - сильней, Ей проживанье на земле - удел, Обожествляя все мои движения. Мои тела Казались мне душой, Но позже снизошла душа Гораздо большая, И ею я, Тебя касаюсь, словно божество. И ты молишь меня, И слышу я Тебя везде, Твой звук, Твои ветра. Я полыхаю вкруг - Цветок огня - Меня необжигающего. Твоё моление - Моя судьба, В твоём пространстве Пологом спущусь. Укрою Сладостью тебя И музыкой моих стихов.
What the fuck man..no words to explain the chills that I get when I listen to this...why dont people listen to this..the alap and the beginning of the Madyhalaya is so beautiful that it could make one cry so easily..
THanks for sharing this. i used to listen to this and megh on the other side of the cassette atleast 7 to 8 times a day and so did my ailing mother. I actually memorized it in the passing. Yes its Swapanda on the tabla and i have thanked him so many times personally for this beautiful recording.Thank you once again
+TheBrandon425 : Celestial rendition by the God of Sitar. I am listening to the rendition of this night raga in Sitar for the first time. I can now understand why you have been listening to it every day.
I have been searching for this number by Panditji for 25 years. I live in the West and have limited access to resources from back home. Thank you for sharing, my humble gratitude to you Mr Mandal.
This rendition is at per with 'prem ki maar katar'by Bade Ghulam Ali Khan saab. But it won't be an exaggeration if I say that Sohini has never been rendered with this exquisite craftsmanship and sentiment.
a soulful rendition by the sitarist who has no parallel.His sitar actually sings.sohani is very sweet raga and it turns honey when played by Nikhil ji.Reminds me of "Jogan ban ke" by bade gulam ali khan in film Mughale Azam
This is such beautiful raga, and Panditji has really taken me into trance.when we hear this Masterpiece with eyes closed,tears of joy and satisfaction of listening to such superb rendition automatically come....Felt like dancing like a great devotee fully absorbed in it.🙏🙏

Most perfect observation.. He was a purist
খুব ভালো লাগছে ।সহিনী রাগ এতটাই পন্ডিত নিখিল বাবুর হাতে মিষ্টি যে বলার না । তাঁকে স্মরন করে প্রনাম জানাই ।
When Nikhil Da plays raag sohini.. it outs the actual soul' of sitar strings. Immortal,,.....

Божественная часть меня
Как постоянный свет,
Как постоянный звук.
В любви - сильней,
Ей проживанье на земле - удел,
Обожествляя все мои движения.
Мои тела
Казались мне душой,
Но позже снизошла душа
Гораздо большая,
И ею я,
Тебя касаюсь, словно божество.
И ты молишь меня,
И слышу я
Тебя везде,
Твой звук,
Твои ветра.
Я полыхаю вкруг -
Цветок огня -
Меня необжигающего.
Твоё моление -
Моя судьба,
В твоём пространстве
Пологом спущусь.
Укрою
Сладостью тебя
И музыкой моих стихов.
Excellent programme Sitar andTabla by Pt.NikhilBanernee&kanaiDutta.
I studied this Raag at AAK College in San Raphael in 1984, such a great rendition.
Hi Ken yes it has several variants. Very old Raga. I think one of the 6 mentioned in ancient musical texts.
Ultimate sohani, Toooo good
Thank you for sharing this treasure.reminded old days.

I have been listening this raga for about 30 years and still today. Pandit ji is Uncomarable. It takes me to deep meditation.
Nikhil-da’s light is eternal! Humblest Pranaam to the most sublime sitarist of all! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Divine
Absolutely divine 🙏
I do not how god looks like but I can feel his presence though his sitar
Sitar is singing! Divine, nothing more one can expect.
I used to listen to this recording every day about 16 years ago. I feel close to this one…thanks for posting!

Jogan bani is based on same raga sohini. That's why the similarity
Many many Thanks ashokji for uploading this heavenly presentation by the gratest sitarist upto this day pt. Nikhil Banerjee.
Panditji plucks our soul out. One wonders if this is the only way sohini should be played and there is no other way
Out of this world..He is A undisputed champion
