MUMBAI: Times Music presents an ultimate devotion to lord Krishna though its newly realeased album – Meera aur Main. This albums encompasses the beauty of bhakti of Lord Krishna and Meera’s love for Krishna.
This album has Meera’s bhajans rendered in a contemporary style. Every Krishna devotee wishes to be like Meerabai and Sanjeevani Bhelande is echoing the same through these melodious Bhajans.
Meera…the very name fills us with pure love. Meera is engraved in the Indian heart, not through sermon but through a quality of ecstatic devotion. Meera’s poems are an outpouring of mystical passion. The yearning of her soul was so intense that even after 500years, every word of her song is bewitching. Her poems have a feminine quality of total surrender and yet Meera is one of the most modern women the world has known. Hers was a free flow of spontaneous energy unhindered by tradition and cultural conditioning.
Born in 1498 in the desert state of Rajasthan, Meera was the legendary princess who renounced the luxuries of palace life, in search of her â€?giridhar gopal’. Here was a soul vearning to break free of the world’s bindings. She asserted her right to spiritual freedom and succeeded in establishing her independent identity other than that of a beti/bahu/behen/biwi….remarkable for a 16th century woman….mein atman hun sharer naheen…..the fragrance of her soul lingers.
â€?Meera aur main’ attempts to bring Meera closer to the youth of today. In the album, the music effortIIessly blends the sarangi with strings, duff with the drums and sitar with guitars : traditional and modern sounds in fusion.
Shri Krishna Sharanam
Beautifully suffused with the mellow voice of Anuradha Paudwal & Sadhana Sargam, is Times Music’s Sri Krishna Sharanam… another piece of gem in devotional music. The album comprises two wonderful compositios â€?Gopi Geet’ and â€?Damodar Ashtakam’.
Gopi Geet is the gopis song of separation and union. Listening to Gopi Geet brings about union with our soul, beloved ones from whom we have been separated, the Devotee an Lord. After Krishna and the Gopis meet for the rasa-dance, Krishna disappeares. tHe Gopis search for their beloved everywhere but do not find him. Returning to the bank of the Yamuna, the gopis sing, eagerly hoping that Krishna would come back. Gopi Geet illuminates the glories of the transcendental maidens of Vraja, especially of Srimati Radharani, the Supreme Feminine Personality and the embodiment of the Supreme Lord Sri Krishna’s pleasure potency. Anuradha Paudwal the most talented singer in devotional music has sung this melodious composition in her fascinating voice.
In the month of Kartik one should worship Lord Damodara and daily recite the prayer known as Damodara-Ashtakam, which has been spoken by the sage Satyavrata and which attracts Lord Damodara on the auspicious Kartik month and listen the Damodara. Sadhana will get rid of his past sins and develop bhakti to Lord rendered her voice for the track Damodara Ashtakam in this album.
Music meets Devotion and results in joyful expression.
