राग मारू बिहाग - राग एक आवाज़ अनेक

Since my childhood, with and around my environment and 'mental' growth, music "made, played as well grew" parallel around me. During the end of '70s my father had purchased a LP (Long Play) with the face and name of a budding hundustani vocal artist at that time called Prabha Atre. Personally I was quite childish. Yet, after my first hearing I was feeling excited though not particularly in its technical aspects. A few days later I hear it again. I was getting a simple yet 'different' feeling. Calm, relaxed and sense of mixed combination of spiritual as well happiness. As I grew, I used to get the opportunity for various festivals and concerts and eagerly waiting to hear more and particularly for that similar raag. That was the time I came to know that it is a particular rendition raag called Maru Bihaad. Years later last year during the end of 2009 I was in Music Academy in Chennai for the live concert of Pandit Channulal Mishra. My past memories were 're-enlightened'. So I decided to compile the collections on raag Maru Bihaad. I have put this together sung by various raagdhaari hindustani vocal singers to share with friends, old and new.

दयाघना

____________
दयाघना, का तुटले चिमणे घरटे
उरलो बंदी असा मी

अरे जन्म बंदीवास, सजा इथे प्रत्येकास
चुके ना कुणास, आता बंदी तुझा मी

दहा दिशांची कोठडी, मोहमाया झाली वेडी
प्राण माझे ओढी, झालो बंदी असा मी

बालपण ऊतू गेले अन तारुण्य नासले
वार्धक्य साचले, उरलो बंदी तूझा मी
