Rasrang Shringar & Bhakti (Audio CD) [Audio CD] Pt. Bhimsen Joshi

About the Author Pt. Bhimsen Joshi is a versatile vocalist. He sings Khayals,
Thumries Bhajans, Natya Geeta, Bhaav Geets and Film Songs with equal ease. In
his performances he projects his parent Kirana Gharana by widening its
precincts. The tradition of Indian Literature has championed the concept of
the Nav Rasas. The legendary artistes of music have been able to express these
rasas through their music too. In this album we have presented Panditji
rejoicing in the Rang of Two Rasas. Thumri-Thumri is a semi classical genre of
Hindustani music. Thumri deals with love attachment, happiness of union and
pangs of separation. The mood of a Thumri is that of a Shringar Rasa. Shringar
Rasa can culminate into Bhakti Rasa also if the love transcends human limits
and becomes divine. Bhajan-Bhajan has a spiritual foundation. It is a process
of surrendering ones ego before the God. The mood of a Bhajan is that of a
Bhakti Rasa. It is an interaction of human feelings with the divine element.
