Mukesh and his co-singers – 5
————————————————

We remember Mukesh on his remembrance day today (22 July 1923 – 27 August 1976).

Needless to say, the post had to be special. But, when a singer has almost 80% of songs considered as hits and most of these songs already represented on the blog, what can be more special. Well, a few hitherto songs of Mukesh continue to be discovered with a great deal of exhilaration to his fans and old hfm lovers in general. I assume that the present song will make this post special.

In a book ‘Vedanta Treatise’ I have with me, four types of yogas have been prescribed for attainment of salvation.
