I was hearing this song at Doha airport as waiting for a flight. I was using a head phone but there was Girijadevi 's photo on screen. A man was sitting beside me saw the photo & asked me isn't she from Varanasi ? I was surprised because the man was an American. He told me that he is interested in Indian classical music & has gone Varanasi several times. I was delighted & very proud of my culture & heritage.
गिरिजादेवी जी को छात्र जीवन से सुनता आ रहा हूं . बनारस का रस उनके कंठ से अमृत सा झरता है . उनको सुनने ' सराहने - चर्चा करने का भोपाल में दो वार अवसर मिला . मेरा अहोभाग्य . आज वे नहीं हैं पर उनके स्वर अमर हैं . मेरी विनम्र श्रद्धांजलि . देवेन्द्र कुमार जैन . भोपाल .
ये तो सुप्रसिद्ध तबला वादक पंडित कांठे महाराज की पद्धति है। तबले पर चाटी और तिरकिट के बोल आदरणीय तबला वादक पंडित कांठे महाराज जी का स्टाइल है। ये बनारस घराने की पहचान है। बहुत सुंदर संगत दी है।
This is a thumri sir...........but with mastery and dedication.devotion she makes all to THE SUPREME, so "bhajan" technically may not be the right word but aesthetically can be heard that way...
Today I'm going to Delhi to my college after two years .came here to listen this soulful thumri by girija devi . Want to dive into it as the memories of these two years which I made at my home are making me cry 🥺
A divine composition by Wazid Ali, able rendition by Girija Devi transports us to the realm of still sad music of humanity couched in Benarasi style. No word is vocal for such style, it requires absorbtion. The Tabla played by Pandit Kumar Bose, an icon of Benaras Gharana, is a masterpiece rendition with "Ghoray Ki Chal", which I listened while Pandit Kissen Maharaj, his GURUJi, played at KOLKATA. My Ustadji Keramat Khan Sahib and my GURUJi Pandit Kanai Dutta ji used to say "Mithas Benarasi", which I have come to experience again. This is the greatness of our Hindustani Music..
Not many people know this but the words were penned in 1856 by the unfortunate Nawab of Oudh, Wajid Ali Shah, the last ruler of that prosperous ryasat when he was exiled by the British and was forever departing from his palace, to spend his remaining years far from his beloved Lucknow which he knew he will never see again. He was a great patron of art, music and poetry and a fairly good administrator as well. Not at all the incompetent, debauched lecherous no good as painted by the British officials to justify their taking over of his domains.
Yes....v true...His majesty was represented v rightly in the famous movie by Satyajit Ray...Shatranj ki khiladi...he was loved by all his subjects...a great patron of art....but alas the British..the conspirators ...simply killed him....v sad history
Some singers give the listeners a secret, quick and divine escapade to trance and Girija Maa is one such. What voice, what accompaniment by the legendary Kumar Ji and Dharamnath Ji. All legends of Varanasi at one stage rendering magic. That explanation at 7:00...God bless the divinity
pure poetry in Appaji's unique style and voice with the ancient Banarasi flavour and great accompaniment by Kumar da. Thousand times I watched this video and every time I learn something new.
God bless Girija Devi for all the bliss and beauty she brought into this world. On the screen's right is Sunanda Sharma, her disciple and celebrated musical heir, a very great singer and artist herself. Sunanda Sharma is my daughter's Guruji since many years. My daughter Marged, who is a hindustani music singer and scholar, was blessed by meeting Girija Devi and living with her for some time. She will never forget the experience. Here she is performing for Girija Devi at her Guruji house th-cam.com/video/LpfSKjBD4Og/w-d-xo.html
I wonder if the Indian classical music institutions are trying to keep the rich legacy of legends like Smt Girija Devi ji alive. I feel pity for the present generation who haven't witnessed this generation of legends. I will always share the work of these musical gems of India with my children, nephews and nieces. ❤️
You may not see but can absorb the "feeling benign" as told by William Wordsworth. This is the poetic eclat of Hindustani Music, where mind percolates and the soul chastens.
I had a divine opportunity to meet her at her home in Varanasi in 1992. What an elevating experience it was, heard her practicing some of the sub genres like Chaiti Tappa Thumri Khayal Kajri et al
When you realise Girija Devi sung this in her last days of life, when her "naihar" of life was about to "chooto jaye", it mixes the pain of Nawab Wajid Ali Shah with the inevitability of death in an unparalleled spiritual agony.
It's pure music. Very sublime n serene . No words can describe the beauty of the eternal voice of legendary singer Girija Devi Ji. On ehas to listen to feel the heavenly music. 🙏🙏.

Girijadevi is a Legend from Varanasi. Hindustani sangeet blossomed in North, perticularly in Varanasi
She is no more physically with us , but her immortal voice is always evergreen, it touches our hearts.

She can't die. She is among us.
I'm an ordinary person to comment regarding mother Girija Devi . Enough that I like it, love it . Thank God.
Incarnation of Mata Saraswathi. So sad and hard to digest that she left us just 3 months back at the age of 88. But immortal in our hearts.
Gone I love this song

The way Kumar Bose comes in is insane. What a gorgeous performance. Girija is the greatest. Pity to fools downvoting this

बहुत सुंदर संगत दी है।
गुरु मां गिरिजा देवी का जवाब नही। हमको को भी कुछ सीखने का सौभाग्य हुआ है।
She is blessed by Ma Saraswati...what a great rendition at this last days of her life
one of the best bhairavi thumris ever.
kumar bose's theka is perfect as always.

A masterpiece written by Nawab Wajid Ali Shah (last nawab of Oudh)
And beautifully executed by Late Girija Devi (apaji)
Long live Our Indian Culture
अप्रतिम लयकारी सुंदर तासे समप्रमाणात आता! लाजवाब!समप्रमाणात आना
I was present in this concert. It was a divine experience. It's very painful to believe that appaji is no more with us.

That small verbal dynamic between Bose and Devi towards the end was fun too.

What a great rendering .Pranam.
Adbhut apurva.. Don't have words to glorify. Super se upar.
Absolutely genius performance by Vidhushi Girija Devi and tabla legend pandit kumar Basu. Totally out of the world feeling.
Dharmendra Mishra ji you are best of all time. Too good
Girija Devi was a master of pure and semi-classical music. Her voice kept improving with age.
खनकती आवाज़ में जो आकर्षण है वही पद्म विभूषण ठुमरी गायिका गिरिजा देवी के रियाज़ को प्रस्तुत करता है।
अनमोल प्रस्तुति. ठुमरी साम्राज्ञी श्रद्धेया गिरजा देवी जी की स्मृति को सादर नमन!
Wah kya zabardast performance thi.
What a great performance by the great singer of an immortal song equally supported by great accompanist.
Just brilliant .. she is superb and even the people around her has given a great support
Great vocal performance by master of her art.
I think Lata must have been envious of her.
Great legend Girja ji.
Both of them left us physically..but thier art will remain with us forever ❤❤
Simply divine. Vidhushi Girija Devi ji after the composition is over says so lovingly to Pt.Kumar Bose, Lekin Bua ke saath bajayega tabhi lagega.
I had a divine opportunity to meet her at her home in Varanasi in 1992. What an elevating experience it was, heard her practicing some of the sub genres like Chaiti Tappa Thumri Khayal Kajri et al
Divine ,penitreting through heart.Godess of singing.
