Pt.Bhimsen Joshi-Miyan Ki Malhar

[hmmmmmmmmmm73]

Now I know what Shahenshah Akbar used to listen to.....

[Mr23630304]

mindblowing no words to describe............

[ThePrateekJoshi]

Super phaaduuuuuu

[ThePrateekJoshi]

I still remember the 1990s.........waking up with jai durge and jo bhaje hari playing in background at 6 AM

[ThePrateekJoshi]

HE IS IMMORTAL......................­......

[konda9891]

Ultimate in the music

[gaarasabure]

Powerful! WOW!

[kariaudar]

Mesmerizing is the only word I can think of . . .

[Uday2310]

भीमसेनजींच्या गाण्याचं एक मोठं वैशिष्ट्य म्हणजे त्यांचा झपाटलेपणा. गाणं कुठेही आणि कधीही असो, ते अगदी झपाटल्यासारखं गायचे. मुख्य म्हणजे हे झपाटलेपण मैफलीच्या शेवटापर्यंत कायम असायचं. त्यामुळे एकदा त्यांच्या मैफलीला बसलेला रसिक शेवटपर्यंत तिथेच खिळून राहायचा. तो भीमसेनजींच्या झपाटलेपणातून सुटूच शकायचा नाही.

भीमसेनजींसारखाच 'भीमसेनी' लोकप्रियता मिळवणारा शास्त्रीय-संगीत गायक एखादाच.

‎.....ਓਹ ਪਲ ਜਦ ....ਯੂਨਾਨੀ ਸੰਗੀਤ ਦੇਵਤਾ ...ਅਪੋਲੋ ਨੂ ..... ਧਰਤੀ ਦੇ ਪ੍ਰਕਟ ਕੀਤਾ ਗਿਆ ....

[dhyanscreations]

How can words describe this? And we try to expostulate God......

[praddee]

amazing!!!! this vdo is a classic! god bless him and who uploaded this one..

[acyutananda]

Seriously, one of my favorite vids of Panditji, amazing, a masterpiece. Makes me wish I was there. Those lucky people!

[acyutananda]

Speechless

[lepido1000]

Tremendous loss to the Indian music, may his soul rest in peace!

[qwert6302]

Woww......literally can feel that effect of rain!!!

[mailvatsan]

somehow the tabla sounds more like a mridang

[mailvatsan]

i have one observation to make...the tabla sounds more like a mridang!

[mailvatsan]

What was this man....awesome, heaven is nowhere but here, i couldn't more than agree with ramlall56 -- yes this type of rendition can really cut the hardest diamond and he was one of them

[cmcjss]

[vadi1990]

HE IS ULTIMATE...NO WORDS.

[venuman1]

So Energetic!!

[BokNice]

Pure ecstacy

[tarnicles]

Dear connoisseurs of this fine piece, the following are the lyrics to the song:

Mohammad Shah Rangeele re Balama

Tum Bin Maika Kaari Badariya

Nit Na Suhaave Umad Ghumad Ghan Aawe

Naina son jhar Lagaawe,Tarasaawe

Sadarangeele Ko Dukh Daawe

Chamak Bichh Daraawe

Panditji's rendition seems to have some differences as to its lyrics.

[autobotftwww]

@tarnicles Thank you very, very much for the lyrics. The only differences in the lyrics are at one point he says "Teray bin" instead of "Tum bin" and instead of "Naina son jhar lagave" says "Naina nazar lagave". The meaning is unchanged. For all intents and purposes, identical bandish.

[ramlall56]

he could drill a hole in steel ..with that penetrating voice..Awesome,mind boggling, supernatural..

[mailvatsan]

@ramlall56 totally agree

[SekoIdiootti]

R.I.P. Bhimsen

[espeon91]

spellbinding music..

[pankajsaha]

this is probably how god sounds when singing.... amazing!

[rugheadrohit]

is so much of strain required to sing this song? I am no expert, but i feel there is a lot of effort in doing the vibrato in this song?

[srirolo]

Priceless! Thank you.

[rajaspage]

What an epic recital by Panditjee!

This kind of rendition is difficult to master even in a million lifetimes.

Pure bliss and incomparable!

[sangeetabhimanee]

Who needs a god, when you sing like that Pandit ji?

[narnia75]

Bhimsenji, you will be missed.

This video clip is amazing. Does anyone know where he was performing? And where I can find the rest of this video?

[RituPMToMusic2011]

Absolutely enthralling! To the point of tears welling up on being touched to the core!!

Pandit ji brought Heavens on Earth....in this absolutely phenomenal presentation!!

Anyone with a weakness for Raag Miyan Ki Malhar to begin with, like I do, would "MELT" with this rendition by the ONE & ONLY Pandit Bheensen Joshi Ji!

His Incredible Capacity, Talent, Fervor, Voice in delivering the Hindustani Classical Music Notes to a Tee, here, & EVERY time he sang, is matchless!!

(Rest In Peace!)

[chamogaa]

@RituPMToMusic2011 Very well said, Dear Ritu.Guruji's unblemished mastery of all those rapid notes is especially breathtaking. Two others who have made me speechless with that quality( but to a somewhat lesser extent ) are Kumar Gandharva and Bade Ghulam Ali Khan, although I am sure there are other geniuses too that I can't recall right now. Thanks for sharing. Thanks also to vintageaudio54.

[ManiDProductions]

Rest in Peace

OMG .!!...m getting goosebumps..!!!..its getting so deep n deep n I am getting high n high..!!!..wah ji wah..!!!

[mkhadilk]

There are tears in my eyes,

Rolling hills and that thunder

Coming to me,

Can you see the ship still majestic and towering?

Tears in my eyes......

You came and sang and that lightening

Is in my heart stays there day and night,

The decades of that worship hope gives you

Eternal life or otherwise you will be in my soul,

For ever..........as God

[babloo16]

Brilliant,simply superb

[kavita477]

i hate bhimsen ji becomming older

[rkos008]

Wahh! Miyan Ki Malhar and the Thunder that is Pt.Bhimsen Joshi! what a combination.

[giri4ever]

I am proud to say that i have heard this song live when I was a child in Mangalore.. Long live Pandithji

[nomaniac]

Kia baat hai SubhanAllah. Very nicely done Pandit jee

[Rishiscribe]

He can blow your brains out without a bullet!

[adiddude]

What an incredible rendition of Miya Malhaar; I am speechless. An oncoming storm, indeed! Especially with the rumbling ektaal in the background.

[tariqleon]

awsome

[rjmehta777]

Also listen to Smt. Tulika Ghosh

[thuryina]

the lyric goes like this:muhammad shah rangeele re balma.

thum bin mai kya karun.kari badariya itna suhave

umad ghumad ghan laave

naina nazar lagave,tharsaave

sadarangeele ko sukhdaayi

chamak bijuri laave

muhammad shah darbar

i am a non hindi speaking person.i am subject to correction

[shankyxyz]

@thuryina thank you my man. that was great. i just knew that this bandish was md shah rangile. didnt know the rest. could make out some lines obviously, but others were missing.panditji is in the league of BGAK and amir khan sahib, absolute master and very different feel to his music than the aforementioned stalwarts.

[thuryina]

@shankyxyz

yes musicians of his calibre are rare.But every great musician brings a very unique experience.pl watch pt.venkateshkumar's miyan ki malhar on my channel

[thuryina]

this was composed in honour of muhammad shah,the mughal emperor who ruled between 1719 and 1748.he was called rangeele because of his passion for music and other arts.the composer was ustad niyamat khan whose pen name was sadarang.his is a great name in the history of music.the language is brajbhasha

[dmanisthebest1]

Is that Ustad Rashid Khan in the audience 2 the left of the man with the glasses?

[Nilanjana777]

His voice is like an oncoming thunderstorm.... Beautiful down to every note!!

[JalasutramCS]

Panditji has contributed to the world of music and his voice and the control on the rendition are simply great

[khedekarpushkaraj]

thanks alot....for uploading

[panchamkauns]

It's amusing that Bhimsen mangles the words so much people are having a fight over what he's singing :) God I love him

[darklord47]

@panchamkauns ma ma dashaa rangeeli ... all that i could understand ... that cud also be wrong :)

[sd268]

@darklord47 no, it's mohammad shah rangila (or rangile) - the late mughal emporor. perhaps this bandish was composed in his court /in his honour.

[r8rdarklord]

@panchamkauns All of the older singers use to do it - just listen to Ustad Faiyaaz Khan or Bade Ghulam Ali Khan, maybe bad recording equipment has a contribution too.

[donapc25]

awesome

[maxratul]

this is a great share. Thank You.

Also, as far as I know it is Muhammad Shah Rangeele

[tanshgoru]

varunachar87 "Mohammad Shah Rangile" was a great patron of Khayal singing in the 18th century. The bandish composed by Sadarang attributes romantic imagery to his name. So stop braying your silly comments and start listening

[varunachar87]

@tanshgoru While I don't deny your claim about the patron, it does seem a misfit for this situation. And while we're at the discussion, neither you prevent me from listening nor I prevent you. I'm not the one bringing teachers and grandfathers into it. That is totally irrelevant to me. From my side it was purely a discussion of the meaning of the bandish: a suggested correction which I never said was infallible.

[AnuragDave]

Those who have listened to Panditji in his prime time were indeed fortunate. Such a beautiful rendition !

[MrShreyang]

hey vintageaudio54 plz allow embedding of d video

[KumarTabla]

My God! Panditji is unfathomably phenomenal! Beautiful Bandish!

[kunjavihari]

It is ektal. 12 Matras.

[MrShreyang]

I think it's a prakaar of ektaal isn't it? PLZ someone help

[KumarTabla]

The prakaar is:

Dhin na

Dhaghe tita

Tin na

Kat ta

Dhaghe tita

Dhin na :)

[MrShreyang]

thanx a lot for d prakar

[KumarTabla]

No problem :) any time...

[MrShreyang]

which taal cannot makeout

[MrShreyang]

I have not rated dis video because I think I am not the right person who can rate this video

[yourzahir]

The Harmonium player is Eknath Thakurdas, A legendary artist of yesteryears.  Listen to his Durga and Miyan ki Todi in the Siddhi series of Pt.Bhimsen Joshiji..

[srtambe]

No, I am afraid not. I studied the face in only a brief camera on him and it is not Walawalkarji. He was short and rotund, this gentleman seems to be tall and slim.

[waterinawell]

what is the title of this piece...can somebody post lyrics?

[shankyxyz]

bandish is called 'mohammed shah rangile"

[varunachar87]

"mama dashaa rangeeli" --- "My predicament is peculiar". It's in a romantic setting.

[shankyxyz]

heh, i'll be damned. i always thought it was muhammed shah rangile. are you sure?

[varunachar87]

Yeah, pretty sure, not because I've been taught this piece or something, but because it's easy to see that's the only thing that makes sense there. I've been taught other things with the same Md. Shah thing.... It's a common mistake.

[cuttingchais]

@varunachar87 do you know what the rest of the lyrics are?

[varunachar87]

@cuttingchais It's generally about a stormy night and all company seeming uninteresting in the absence of the beloved. It's not impossible that the "beloved" is called Md. Shah Rangeele, but to me it also makes sense if it's "mama dashaa", because I've seen intances of both in bandishes. In this case from the line "sadaa rangeele ko sukha daari" in the antaraa it looks like I'm wrong.

[cuttingchais]

@varunachar87 i listened to it again, and 'mama dashaa' does make a lot of sense. so i'm thinking that maybe it's just a very clever play on words by sadarang, a double entendre. it could mean mama dasha and make sense, it could also be md. shah and thus classify as a tribute to the patron.

either way, with bhimsen the lyrics really don't matter do they? the way he launches into the taans he gives them a meaning of his own. :)

[varunachar87]

@cuttingchais That's an interesting possibility, it being a deliberate dichotomy. Either way, it is a sublime rendition of malhaar.

[MrShreyang]

@varunachar87 It's 110% Mohammed shah rangeeley because my grandfather and a great mystreo at Dwarka too used to sing it so I know it

[varunachar87]

Oh my, if I'd known that your grandfather used to sing it this way, I would never have dared to challenge it. Because, of course, grandfathers, especially those from the Dwaraka tradition, are always right, even if the lyrics make little sense.

By the way, my teachers, as I have pointed out before, have also taught me stuff with wrong lyrics. I judge the accuracy of lyrics not by whether they come from a teacher or grandfather, but more by what they mean in the language they are in.

[MrShreyang]

oh its all ok but heard dis bandish less times nly 15-20 times during monsoon and I wish I could sing lik ma grandfather and ma guruji shree Krishna Master

[SJisBack]

@varunachar87 It is Mahammad shah Rangile. None of my grandfathers were singers

[anupamaa1]

@shankyxyz miyan malhar is a one of the malhar ke prakar. bandish is ASTHAYI mohammada sa rangeelare balamava.tumabi na mai ka gariba gari meeta na suhave ANTARA umada ghumanda ghana gaave, NAINA nazara lagave, tarasaave, sadarangi dekho,sukhadavi chamakabichakaravein taal ektaal 12 matras.

[shankyxyz]

@anupamaa1 thanks a lot. i think it matches what bhimsenji sings more than the version posted by thuryina posted. but both version almost there,maybe a line different here or there. now even bathrom singer like me can sing a full miyan ki malhar bandish while shower rains down on me. internet ki jai ho.

[utkarshRDB]

Wah wah Panditji ki aawaaz... Wah ....

[sachuraju]

superb!! simply awesome!!

[hangal1]

Wow! What a gem. thanks for posting it - what year and where is this from ?

Also, who is the harmonium player ? Tulsidar Borkar is seen in the audience at about 2:05.

[srtambe]

early 1960s I guess, some 50 years ago.

Cannot figure out the harmonium player, not much camera on him

[Psyche1954]

I would presume it is Purushottam Walawalkar sahib he had very long association with Panditji!

[anupamaa1]

@Psyche1954 yes. pt. walawalkar, pt. nana mule and pt. madhav gudiji had a very nice time with him. as pt. madhav gudiji has stayed with him to learn in his home for 30 years. so its very nice to be his disciple and hear about pt. bhimsen joshiji. i have seen him several time. and happy to represent such a great gharana.

[Psyche1954]

@anupamaa1

Thank you very much for the Info! Panditji is an a class of his own! pls give me the link to your channel and i have got a few CDs of Venkatesh Kumar he is awsome as well

the number of people associated with Bhimsenji can not ignore Shri Tulsidas Borkarji There are far too many recordings bear witness to his skilful Sangat

[Subodas]

Priceless record.

Thank you!

[pukarokhan]

thank you for spreading the knowledge

[prashants17]

Damn what energy and talent, I had never seen the young Joshiji.

[iwannasee101]

simply amazing...Panditji in top form...i feel blessed

[manguram]

Can someone post the lyrics (and a translation)? Thanks in advance.

[klacsanzky77]

Does anyone know if I am allowed to post a Bhimsen Joshi video on youtube if it is a private concert recording back in 1985? I do not have Bhimsen Joshi's permission though and I don't know how to ask him.

[HariDasaru]

I am sure you can post it.

[r8rdarklord]

Iska vilambit bhi upload kijiye - bola hain Karim naam tero.

[dpckal]

what is the relationship of the rag to what is there in these pictures? anybody knows?

[vintageaudio54]

Miyan Ki Malhar is a Monsoon raga and

most of the background scenes(peacock,clouds etc) in this video based on the theme of monsoon.

[dpckal]

thanks a lot, the style of raag really take me into monsoon !

[defenderofhinduism]

miyan ki malhar..is errotic..if that tells you anything :)..hence the pictures and the mausam (weather) :)

[theresaadmirer]

A raga by itself can't be romantic, or erotic, or devotional -- the performance (including the bandish) makes it so.

[dreamofswapn]

so true

[HariDasaru]

It is the expression of the notes in the Raga

[Antarblue]

@dpckal Just as the raga-s are melody forms depicting sentiments and themes during the Mughal period in India the Raga-Mala minture paintings flourished. These often have the same names of prominent raga-s of the time and depict similar scenes. eg clouds, lightning bolts, or in the case of Raga Todi a maiden gathering wild deer as she serenades in the forest. These images are probably from the Malhar series of Raga-Mala paintings.

[deoman99]

ekdum zabbardast..superb taal from the tabla vadak...very very romantic..

[suvob]

WOW! Thanks a lot, really I mean it.

[Psyche1954]

@suvob

You have expressed everything that matters ! Thank YOU!
