THE JOY OF NFS (Song No. 1)
——————————–

MUSIC is an integral part of every Indian. From birth to death, we are drenched in music. During Vedic times, the Rishis used to teach their students verses in Taal and Sur, so that the students would remember them easily. You will have observed that whenever there is a Mahapooja or an Yadnya, the Purohits will recite the Mantras in a typical rhythm and sur.

BHAJAN MALA – GOLDEN 50s…(Pushp-12….Last of the series)
————————————————————

So, we are ending this Bhajan series today with the most appropriate and suitable Bhajan for the occasion, from the film- Mahapooja-54. The bhajan is sung by Amirbai Karnataki and Tara Harish-both in their last phase of the career. This is a Bhajan-almost an Aarati, but not exactly-in praise of Shri Satyanarayan Swami.

BHAJAN MALA – GOLDEN 50s….(Pushp – 11th)
——————————————–

Today’s bhajan is from film Chakradhari-54. This film had become quite popular in the mid 50s due to its melodious bhajans. There were 13 songs in the film and 9 are already posted here. Today’s bhajan is the 10th.

BHAJAN MALA – GOLDEN 50s (Pushp- 10)
—————————————-

The first bhajan from film ‘ Pawanputra Hanuman’-57 was posted on 24th may. Today we will enjoy yet another melodious bhajan from this film, this time sung by the great Manna Dey. In hindi films, bhajans sung by Mohd.Rafi, Hemant Kumar and Manna Dey were very popular. Not that other singers did not sing any bhajan- even G.M.Durrani has sung a bhajan with few Sanskrit lines in the beginning, for the film Veer Arjun-52. If possible, I wish to post that bhajan also here, in future sometime.

BHAJAN MALA – GOLDEN 50s (Pushp – 9)
——————————————-

Today’s bhajan is from a film called Patit Pawan-1955.

The word Patit Paawan is generally used for Shri Ram. This is based on a story that, Ahilya, who was the wife of Rishi Gautam,was very beautiful and was cheated by Indra Dev. Smitten by her beauty, he comes disguised as Rishi Gautam, her husband and has a good time with her. When the real Rishi Gautam comes to know about it, he is so furious that he curses Ahilya and turns her into a stone and she would have to remain in that state till Sri Ram’s feet touched her when she would regain her human form. After a few years, Lord Shri Ram comes that way and touches the stone and thereby frees Ahilya from the curse and she regains her human form. Thus, a Patit (the fallen one) is made Paawan (is purified), hence the name Patit Paawan for Shri Ram.

BHAJAN MALA – GOLDEN 50s (Pushp-8)
————————————-

Indians simply love Festivals. If you see carefully, almost throughout the year, some or the other Festival or an important day is being celebrated somewhere in India. For example, take a look here…

BHAJAN MALA – GOLDEN 50s (Pushp-7)
—————————————

One advantage of seeing religious films was that it increased your knowledge of mythology and the Puranas. Though there was a common principle highlighted( Satyamev Jayate or the victory of Good over Bad ), every story’s treatment and content used to be different. With our Holy books overflowing with stories involving all types of Gods, Godesses and Bhakts, film producers must have never fallen short of stories. Famous and well known studios like Bombay Talkies, Sagar, Mohan, Prakash, Prabhat, Wadia or Filmistan stuck to popular and traditional stories like Satyavan Savitri, Bhakta Dhruv, Shri Ram or Shrikrishna. other production companies tried comparatively less known, unknown or even Hybrid stories (Mythological base but treated in filmy style) to make films.

BHAJAN MALA – GOLDEN 50S (Pushp- 6)
————————————-

I remember that we had just shifted to our new flat in 1984. It was a spacious building, with plenty of open space all around and at the rear side there was some big open space enough for a Badminton Court and a small garden along the compound wall. This open space was sometimes used by the residents for small functions and private parties. One day, one of our neighbours, Mr. Markan,invited my family for a programme of ” Mata’s Jagaran “, which he was holding before his son’s marriage. Jaagaran is a programme, running through almost the whole night, singing Mata’s ( Devi’s) bhajans, doing Pooja etc. This was our first such experience and we accepted the invitation with excitement.

BHAJAN MALA- GOLDEN 50s (Pushp-5)
————————————-

Do you remember which story you liked the most in your childhood ? When we were in school, we read lot of stories. Stories from Mythology, History, Magic, Mystery, Birbal, Tenaliram, Tarzan etc etc. We liked some stories, and did not like others. To me, barring Alladin, Alibaba and Sindbad, all stories of Arabian Nights were same. Stories from Vedas were hard to remember due to difficult names like Jamadagni, Jaratkaru or Yadnyawalkya etc. My favourite story was that of Alladin, which I would read repeatedly at frequent intervals.

BHAJAN MALA-GOLDEN 50s (Pushp-4)
————————————

In India there are at least two places where true secularism is strictly followed. One of them is our Armed Forces. There is no discrimination in the Armed Forces on Religion/race/caste/colour or State. In almost every Army establishment you will find a Mosque,a Mandir and a Church along with a common hall for meditation for all other faiths. People from all states join the Forces. One may say,why then are there Jaat Regiments, Maratha Regiments, Mahar Regiments, Punjab Regiments ? It must be understood that these are the names given by the Britishers to recognise the special qualities of that region. It has nothing to do with Caste or Language. The Commandant of a Maratha Regiment can be a Punjabi officer also.
