Today 20th August is the thirty-sixth ‘Remembrance anniversary’ of music director Avinash Vyas ((21 July 1912 – 20 August 1984). On this occasion here is a song from ‘Jagadguru Shankaracharya-1955’ sung by Hemant Kumar and composed by Avinash Vyas. Lyrics are by Bharat Vyas ji.
After getting associated with this blog I had got many opportunities to listen and share the songs composed by Avinash Vyas ji.
I was not aware of his work or rather his great work to the contribution of Hindi Cinema and Gujarati Cinema and Non-Film music in Gujarati. During the preparation of this post I came across this article by A.M. Vaishnav ji on ‘songs of yore’ here and also there I found comments by our Arun ji giving a brief about Avinash Vyas ji which I am reproducing below;
His full name was AVINASH ANANDRAI VYAS. His wife Sulochana Vyas was a singer and son Gaurang was/is a Music Director.
He was a multifaceted personality. he was a composer, lyricist, playback singer and writer too. In fact, he has written 75 Dance Ballets, in few of which Asha Parekh has also danced. he published 6 books in Gujrati, the last being” Vartul”-1983.
he gave music to 53 Hindi and 175 Gujrati films and 1 Rajasthani film. he got Gujrat Govt awards 10 times. The Sangeet Natak Academy of Gujrat gave him an award. He was given Padmashree in 1970. he made 8 Foreign stage shows. he had acted in a Gujrati film,” Gorakhdhanda”-1949.
His most famous film Har har Mahadev-1950 is also my favourite one.
Though neglected in Hindi, he was honoured suitably in Gujrat, in his life time.
Additional information-
Avinash Vyas collaborated with great songwriters like Qamar Jalalabadi, Madan, Prem Dhawan, Pradeep Patel, Gopal Singh Nepali, Badrinath Vyas, Sadiq Lakhnavi, Devendra, Pt. Sagar, Indeevar, Nilkanth Tiwari, Sagar Husain, Qamar Jalalabadi, Kavi Pradeep, Saraswati Kumar Deepak, Bharat Vyas, B. P. Bhargav, Raja Nene, Ramesh Gupta, Shamim Jaipuri, Indra Chandra, Raja Mehdi Ali Khan, Pt. Mukhram Sharma, Pt. Madhur and Ramesh Shastri.
Avinash’s compostitions were sung by the melodious voices of great singers like Mohammed Rafi, Suman Hemadi Kalyanpur, Anand Kumar Chitragupta, Badrinath Vyas, Dilraj Kaur, Sulochana Kadam, Asha Bhosle, Shamshad Begum, Manna Dey, Mukesh, Geeta Dutt, Hemant Kumar, Talat Mehmood, Kishore Kumar, Meena Kapoor, Ameerbai Karnataki, Krishna Kalle, Mahendra Kapoor, Madhubala Zaveri, , Mohan Tara, Lata Mangeshkar, Sudha Malhotra, S. Balbir, Husn Ara, Kavi Pradeep and Usha Mangeshkar.
I am sure Arun ji must have written in details about Avinash Vyas ji on this blog too, but I have to find and read that post.
In my childhood I must have watched many black & white Hindi movies where music was composed by Avinash Vyas, unaware of who the music director was. However, the song ‘tere dwaar khadaa bhagwaan’ from ‘Waaman Avtaar-1955’ is my all-time favorite and I would also like to mention the songs from ‘Chakradhaari-1954’ which I watched during my stay at Nagpur (exactly four years back around this time i.e. 15/16 August’2016) where I liked all the wonderful songs this movie has.
Paying our tributes to the music director Avinash Vyas today, let us now listen to today’s song …
Song-Bade bade dhoondhhe pahaad aur kan mein dhoondhna bhool gaye (Jagadguru Shankaracharya)(1955) Singer-Hemant Kumar, Lyrics-Bharat Vyas, MD-Avinash Vyas
Lyrics
bade bade dhoondhe pahaad
aur kan mein dhoondhnaa bhool gaye ae
kan mein dhoondhnaa bhool gaye ae
bade bade dhoondhe pahaad
aur kan mein dhoondhnaa bhool gaye ae
bhole bhakt bhagwaan ko apne
man mein dhoondhnaa bhool gaye ae
man mein dhoondhnaa bhool gaye
bade bade dhoondhe pahaad
aur kan mein dhoondhnaa bhool gaye
bhole bhakt bhagwaan ko apne
man mein dhoondhnaa bhool gaye ae
man mein dhoondhnaa bhool gaye ae
bade bade pothe padh padh ke
bante ho vidwaan
raamaayan mahaabharat dhoondhi
dhoondhe ved puraan
dhoondhe ved puraan
par apne saans ki chhoti si
dhadkan mein dhoondhnaa bhool gaye
bhole bhakt bhagwaan ko apne
man mein dhoondhnaa bhool gaye ae
man mein dhoondhnaa bhool gaye
saanjh savere jamunaa jal se
ragad ragad tan dhote
aur use dhoondhne
ganga ji mein lagaa rahe ho gotey ae ae
lagaa rahe ho gotey
par kisi deen ki ankhiyan ke
ansuwan mein dhoondhna bhool gaye
bhole bhakt bhagwaan ko apne
man mein dhoondhnaa bhool gaye ae
man mein dhoondhnaa bhool gaye
bade bade dhoondhe pahaad
aur kan mein dhoondhnaa bhool gaye
bhole bhakt bhagwaan ko apne
man mein dhoondhnaa bhool gaye ae
man mein dhoondhnaa bhool gaye

बड़े बड़े ढूंढे पहाड़
और कण में ढूंढना भूल गए ए
कण में ढूंढना भूल गए ए
बड़े बड़े ढूंढे पहाड़
और कण में ढूंढना भूल गए ए
भोले भक्त भगवान् को अपने
मन में ढूंढना भूल गए ए
मन में ढूंढना भूल गए
बड़े बड़े ढूंढे पहाड़
और कण में ढूंढना भूल गए ए
भोले भक्त भगवान् को अपने
मन में ढूंढना भूल गए ए
मन में ढूंढना भूल गए ए
बड़े बड़े पोथे पढ़ पढ़ के
बनते हो विद्वान्
रामायण महाभारत ढूंढी
ढूंढें वेद पुराण
ढूंढें वेद पुराण
पर अपने सांस की छोटी सी
धड़कन में ढूंढना भूल गए
भोले भक्त भगवान् को अपने
मन में ढूंढना भूल गए ए
मन में ढूंढना भूल गए
सांझ सवेरे जमुना जल से
रगड़ रगड़ तन धोते
और उसे ढूंढने
गंगा जी में लगा रहे हो गोते ए
लगा रहे हो गोते
पर किसी दीन की अंखियन के
अंसुवन में ढूंढना भूल गए
भोले भक्त भगवान् को अपने
मन में ढूंढना भूल गए ए
मन में ढूंढना भूल गए
बड़े बड़े ढूंढे पहाड़
और कण में ढूंढना भूल गए
भोले भक्त भगवान् को अपने
मन में ढूंढना भूल गए ए
मन में ढूंढना भूल गए

Thanks Aviashji for recalling my post on SoY on Avinash Vyas.
The song seems to be based on prayer folks tunes that roaming ascetics use in their prayers. Avinash Vyas touch can be seen in the way the composition has been made made seemingly so simple.

Thank you very much for your comments Sir ji. It has made my day today.
When I thought to present this song with my write-up I remember to have read your article earlier on ‘SoY’ and on your blog in Gujarati on Avinash Vyas ji. And it was having a detailed discussion in the comments too which all gives us many details about Avinash Vyas ji.
Thanks a lot.
And thanks for throwing light on the composition.
