Today’s song is from the film Mahapooja aka Shri Satyanarayan Katha-1954.

Marriage fixed, New House Entry, New Job, Promotion, Shravan Maas, any Happy event in life and we always celebrate by doing a ‘Satyanarayan Pooja’. It is one of the most popular and common pooja that is performed in all over India, except 2-3 states. Satyanarayan is NOT an Avatar of Lord Shri Vishnu. It is just another form of Vishnu.

Hullo Atuldom

As a youngster, I had heard a song which had the mukhda ending with ‘prem ka hum shree ganesh karein’. At that time I didn’t know what the phrase “shree ganesh karein” meant. As time passed, I learnt that it meant a new-start for any activity or venture by seeking the blessings of your God and elders. I know for sure that followers of Islam say “Bismillah” at similar situations. I think it is a very Indian practise. I know of students who used to write some holy symbols on top of every page of their answer sheets at the time of important examinations. ( I have heard that the various education boards have prohibited this recently, don’t know if this is being implemented. 🙂 )

Music of Uttam Singh / Music Composer – Uttam Singh – 03
——————————————–

This series on the songs composed by music composer Uttam Singh has been going on for some time. Today I present an ‘epic song’ composed by him from the movie ‘Gadar Ek Premkatha-2001’.

Today we know Uttam Singh as a successful and famous ‘music-composer’, who composed songs for movies like ‘Dil To Paagal Hai’, ‘Gadar Ek Premkatha’ etc. But I doubt how many of us know about his initial struggles and his ‘inspirational story’ of ‘struggles to successes’. (Even I was not aware of his full biographical information till recently).

Today’s song is from the film Aaj ka Hindustan-1940.

The second world war had already begun in 1939 and the British Government had promulgated many restrictions on the Indian people like rationing of food items. rationing of petrol and other essential items. As far as the Film industry was concerned, the Raw Film used to be imported as it was not yet made in India. The Government started a quota system for the filmmakers, based on a formula of films made in an year on average and many related parameters. This created problems for individual filmmakers who made films at random and had no studio of their own.
