KARU VANDANA

This channel is dedicated to the classical & semi-classical compositions of Swaminarayan sampraday. 

The repertoire of devotional songs written by the music maestro saints of Bhagwan Swaminarayan extends over a wide spectrum of various genres of Indian classical, semi-classical & folk music. 

Out of these, dhrupads, chhota khayals (bandishes), raagmalas, taalmalas, tillanas, thumris and bhajans were focused upon, researched-studied, composed & recorded during the 7 year long birth centenary celebrations (2016-2023) of Pramukh Swami Maharaj. More than 65 scholars lent their insightful contribution to this noble & humble attempt. 

The soulful renditions of these classical & semi-classical compositions by scholars of Indian classical music & youths of BAPS shall be presented here periodically as a tribute to Bhagwan Swaminarayan, Pramukh Swami Maharaj & Mahant Swami Maharaj. We also express our heartfelt gratitude to the revered senior saints of BAPS for guiding us in our attempt.
