Description: K. S. Chitra is popularly known as the “Nightingale of South India”, who lends her voice in the South Indian Film Industry, whose foray into the field of playback singing earned her a distinct name in the Indian Music Industry. The popular playback singer would never forget the day, when she was abundantly blessed by Bhagawan. On the eve of auspicious Onam, K. S. Chitra was fortunate to sing a collection of selected devotionals. Starting off with Ganesha Vandana, she had a string of ten songs that included one bhajan, a fruitful mix of a variety of songs, including Carnatic pieces that exhibited her rare talent of weaving vocal magic. The songs included “Madhuramu Khada Sai Natha…,” “Bhaavayami Gopala Baalam…,” “Jai Jai Jai Sai Janani…,” “Maararey Giridhara Gopal…,” “Pashupathi Thanaya Bala Gajanana…,” “Krishna Nee Begane Baaro…,” “Koi Kahiyo Re Prabhu Awan Ki…,” etc., followed by the popular Prasanthi Bhajan, “Chittha Chora Yashoda Ke Baal, Navaneeta Chora Gopal…”

Description: Sonu Nigam, one of India’s most renowned playback singers, had the good fortune to sing for Bhagawan at the NSE grounds, Goregaon on the evening of October 31st, 2009. He had a string of popular devotionals that created ripples of spiritual vibrations in the vast concourse of over fifty thousand people, who had assembled to have divine darshan. The singer’s special request to sing a popular philosophical song, one of his favourite numbers, was approved by Bhagawan and the crowd went into raptures, clapping in tandem with the tune, while Bhagawan was keeping beat with the music. It was an apt message for the capacity crowd – to live in the present, for tomorrow is never a guarantee. So pleased was Bhagawan with Sonu Nigam’s musical offerings, that He materialised a pearl ring as His token of love and grace for Sonu Nigam, at the end of this live concert, which lit the twilight with devotional ecstasy.

Description: Sumeet had the rare privilege of singing in Bhagawan’s physical presence on earlier occasions. He began the programme with a Telugu verse, offering millions of salutations to beloved Bhagawan. A Ganesha vandanam, accompanied by a string of nine pieces followed. Renditions ranged from singing in praise of the mother of the Divine, Maa Easwaramma, to singing His glory, listing various attributes of the attributeless Divine. “Jaago Prasanthi…” and another piece calling Him out as the sweetest of all mothers, “Jisne Sajaaya Kushiyaan Hamaari, Sabse Achi Sabse Pyaari Sai Maa” stood out, stirring nostalgic feelings in the audience. Singing with a touch of feeling, with moments of scintillating melody immersed in ‘bhava’, devotional feeling, often drifting into interludes of commentary, recalling blessed moments with Bhagawan. The seventy minute concert ended with a bhajan, beginning with an aalap, “Thum Ithna Karna Swami...” Sumeet was accompanied by Nishikant Barodekar on the tabla, Piush Pawar on the santoor, Vinod Sehgal on the flute, Abhilash Ganjawala on the keyboard, Sanjay Jaipurwala on the guitar, Sreedhar on the violin, Sanket Modi on the harmonium, and Jagdish Kanadia on the dholak.

Description: Anup Jalota, the household name for bhajans and ghazals, has thought nothing but music all his life. His father, bhajan exponent Purushottam Das Jalota, is also his mentor. Born in Nainital and educated in Lucknow, he started his musical career as an All India Radio chorus singer. Honoured as the “Bhajan Samrat” of India, Anup Jalota has wowed audiences and devotees with his singing. Anup started the evening programme with an introductory talk. He spoke about his first ever meeting with Bhagawan forty eight years ago, at the age of ten, in Lucknow. Revealing that he has had many blessings from Bhagawan over the years, the singer confided that Bhagawan had even taught him nuances in the art of singing. With the blessings of Bhagawan, he earned an opportunity to do playback for the famous Manoj Kumar movie, Shirdi Ke Sai Baba, where he sung with the renowned Mohammed Rafi. This turned out to be the biggest blessing, as it changed his life and thus, made his life, recounted Jalota, gratefully remembering his association with Bhagawan. Sending ecstatic waves into the audience when he began with Aisi Lagi Lagan, the packed assembly went into raptures. The singer continued for the next seventy five minutes, regaling the audience, producing some of his famous numbers that included, “Man Mein Ram…”, “Sai Baba Bolo”, “Payo Ji Maine Ram Ratan Dhan Payo”, and some bhajans, “Mera Jeevan Tere Hawale…”, “Govind Jai Jai… Gopala Jai Jai”, sang with a customised style coupling with Jhoola melody, “Dum Dum Dum Dum Damaru Bhaje”, etc. With his inimitable style of singing, singing from the depth of his heart to the heights of the exalted heavens, completely immersed in his art, as he engaged in his inimitable ‘twists and turns’, highs and lows, harmoniously blending with tabla, the programme turned out to be a rare musical treat for the packed audience.
